Veteran Legacy
Kingdoms of Iron remembers what you did the first time. Your history comes with you into the realm as it is now.
Claiming your legacy
Played the original Kingdoms of Iron before this version? Open Settings and claim your Veteran Legacy with the ticket you were given. You do not need to do this before you start playing โ PLAY NOW always comes first, and your legacy is waiting whenever you get to it.
Each legacy can be claimed exactly once, by exactly one account, forever.
What decides your tier
Your old character's level is what mattered most. The higher you climbed the first time, the stronger your welcome back โ someone who barely started receives a small, useful gesture; someone who reached the very edge of the old game receives a substantial head start and rare, permanent recognition.
What migration does and does not do
Migration grants gold, useful materials, Estate points, a worker slot or two, and a starting kit โ real help, sized to what you earned. It does not hand you a finished character: no free levels, no skill mastery, no endgame gear. The redesigned realm โ new regions, new Doctrines, a new item chase, a new endgame โ is still yours to play through.
The ladder
Six tiers, from a quiet welcome-back to permanent recognition few players will ever earn.
- Fledgling Veteran, a keepsake for your Collection Log.
- Settled Veteran โ a title, a keepsake for your Collection Log, and a starting kit.
- Seasoned Veteran โ a title, a keepsake for your Collection Log, and a starting kit.
- Hardened Veteran โ a title, a keepsake for your Collection Log, and a starting kit.
- Realm-Tested Veteran โ a title, a keepsake for your Collection Log, and a starting kit.
- the Realmforged โ a title, a keepsake for your Collection Log, and a starting kit.
New to the realm?
Veterans arrive with history and a head start. They do not arrive finished. Whatever your own starting point, the same regions, bosses, and endgame are ahead of you both.
