Speedup Distribution by Type (Hours)
What is a Rokcalculator?
A rokcalculator is a tool designed to help players of the popular mobile game Rise of Kingdoms (RoK) make complex calculations simple. Whether you’re figuring out troop training times, resource needs for a building upgrade, or, in this case, the total value of your speedup inventory, a rokcalculator is your best friend. This specific calculator focuses on one of the most vital resources in the game: speedups.
Anyone from a free-to-play (F2P) grinder to a high-spending whale can benefit from this tool. Knowing your exact speedup total helps in planning for massive upgrade projects (like Academy 25), preparing for server-wide events like Mightiest Governor (MGE), or simply managing your inventory to be as efficient as possible. A common misunderstanding is that all speedups are the same, but using a specific type (like Building) is always better than using a General one, and this calculator helps you see that distribution clearly.
The Rokcalculator Speedup Formula
The calculation is straightforward but tedious to do by hand. The rokcalculator converts all your various speedup items into a single, total value, typically measured in minutes. It then presents this total in a human-readable format.
The core formula is:
Total Minutes = (Days * 1440) + (Hours * 60) + Minutes
This calculation is performed for each category of speedup (General, Building, etc.), and then all totals are summed for the final grand total.
Variables Table
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Speedups | Universal speedups that can be used for any task. | Time (Days, Hrs, Mins) | 0 – 2,000+ Days |
| Building Speedups | Used exclusively for upgrading buildings in your city. | Time (Days, Hrs, Mins) | 0 – 1,500+ Days |
| Training Speedups | Used to accelerate troop training and upgrades. Crucial for MGE. | Time (Days, Hrs, Mins) | 0 – 3,000+ Days |
| Research Speedups | Used for accelerating technology research in the Academy. | Time (Days, Hrs, Mins) | 0 – 2,500+ Days |
| Healing Speedups | Used for healing severely wounded troops in the hospital. Essential for war. | Time (Days, Hrs, Mins) | 0 – 1,000+ Days |
Practical Examples
Example 1: Preparing for a T5 Research
A player is preparing for their first big T5 technology, which costs 1,200 days. They use the rokcalculator to see if they have enough speedups.
- Inputs:
- General: 150 Days, 10 Hours
- Research: 980 Days, 5 Hours
- Building: 400 Days
- Training: 600 Days
- Results: The calculator shows they have 1,130 days of relevant (General + Research) speedups. They are short by 70 days and know they need to acquire more before starting the research.
Example 2: MGE Troop Training Push
A player wants to push for a high rank in the Mightiest Governor Event during the troop training phase.
- Inputs:
- General: 50 Days
- Training: 450 Days, 12 Hours
- Results: The rokcalculator shows a total of 500 days and 12 hours of training-related speedups. This lets them calculate exactly how many T5 troops they can train and the points they will receive, helping them decide if it’s worth the investment.

How to Use This Rokcalculator
- Enter Your Speedups: Go through your in-game inventory and enter the number of days, hours, and minutes for each category of speedup you own.
- Check the Results: The calculator will instantly update. The large number at the top is your grand total. The smaller boxes below show the total for each specific type.
- Analyze the Chart: The bar chart provides a quick visual guide to where most of your speedup wealth lies. You might be surprised to see how many training speedups you’ve accumulated!
- Plan Your Next Move: Use the total to plan major upgrades, event participation, or to simply feel good about your progress. For resource planning, see our {related_keywords}.
Key Factors That Affect Speedup Value
- Alliance Helps: The more helps you get, the less initial time you need to speed up. A strong, active alliance drastically increases the value of every speedup.
- Runes and Buffs: Kingdom-wide buffs and runes from holy sites can reduce research or building time by 5-15%, making your speedups go further.
- VIP Level: High VIP levels grant a permanent boost to building and research speed, and provide a steady daily stream of speedups.
- Events: Events like “Race Against Time” reward you for using speedups, giving you extra value. Using a {related_keywords} can help maximize gains here.
- Civilization Choice: Civilizations like China (Building Speed) or Korea (Research Speed) provide a permanent percentage buff that stretches the value of your speedups.
- Commander Talents: Some commanders have talents that can reduce the time required for certain tasks, although this is less common for major projects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What’s the best way to get more speedups?
The most consistent ways are completing daily objectives, participating in every event, gathering gems to buy them during the “More Than Gems” event, and being in a strong alliance that frequently earns gift chests.
2. Should I ever use General speedups on buildings or research?
Only if you have a massive surplus or have completely run out of the specific type you need. It’s almost always better to save general speedups for troop training/healing during war or for MGE pushes, as they are the most flexible.
3. How many speedups do I need for T5 troops?
This is a complex question, but a rough estimate is over 2,000 days of mixed research and building speedups just for the prerequisites. The actual training itself requires hundreds of days of training speedups per batch. This rokcalculator is the first step in tracking that hoard.
4. Why does this rokcalculator separate the types?
Because using the wrong type of speedup is inefficient. A building speedup can ONLY be used on buildings. A general speedup can be used on anything. Knowing your specific totals prevents you from wasting your most valuable (general) speedups. You might find our {related_keywords} useful for planning building costs.
5. How can I use this rokcalculator for MGE planning?
Input your Training and General speedups to see your total “troop push” power. This helps you estimate how many points you can get and if you can compete for a top spot. Pair this with a {related_keywords} for maximum effect.
6. Are the “days” in the calculator based on 24 hours?
Yes. The rokcalculator converts everything to a common unit of minutes. One day is treated as 1440 minutes (24 hours * 60 minutes).
7. Can I save my data in this rokcalculator?
Currently, the data is only stored for your session. To save a snapshot of your inventory, you can use the “Copy Results” button and paste the information into a personal note or spreadsheet.
8. Does this account for alliance helps or runes?
No. This rokcalculator shows you the raw power of your speedup inventory. It calculates the total time you can skip. It does not account for reductions from helps, runes, or VIP levels, as those apply before you start using speedups.
