Guild Wagon and Caravans are the game’s daily logistics events — and both are zero-risk, zero-stamina income that too many players skip. The wagon is a 10-minute coordination exercise; the caravans are a permanent UR-shard farm. Neither costs troops or real losses, so the community rule is simple: ALWAYS run them.
This guide covers the wagon’s roles and chest rules, the Golden Wagon, the caravan strategy, and cross-server plunder with the box priority.
Guild Wagon: The Free Daily Run
- 1 free wagon per alliance per day, resetting around 11 AM KST.
- When the payment screen appears, the free one has been used — that is the tell that the daily free run is gone for the whole alliance.
- Paid extra runs exist — almost nobody buys them. Ignore the paywall.
- Guild Gift levels raise the wagon level — the shop gifts that raise gift level also upgrade what the wagon drops.
- Lv. 25 Alliance Gift Privilege (September 2026): Reaching Alliance Gift Lv. 25 permanently grants an extra perk: each Regular Wagon of the Alliance Trade Caravan carries 1 additional passenger, significantly boosting passive daily rewards for members.
Wagon Master, Guards, and VIPs
The roles:
- An online R4/R5 appoints an online member as Wagon Master.
- The Master collects tickets from members (some auto-convert) for pool refreshes — 5 refreshes make a “Golden Wagon.”
- Guards AND VIPs both claim 2 chests. VIPs just ride — being a VIP is not a downgrade, the chests are identical.
- Low CP? Pick strong Guards to protect the wagon. The run’s safety scales with guard strength.
- Guards must be online. Coordinate before starting the run, or risk an undefended plunder — some guilds deliberately delay the Master appointment to run the wagon at night when their guards are on.
The Chest Rules (The Common Mistake)
The 2 chests are for the GUARDS, not the Master. The most common wagon mistake in the game.
The full reward distribution:
| Role | Reward |
|---|---|
| Guards | 2 chests each |
| VIPs | 2 chests each (identical to guards — they just ride) |
| Passengers | 5 random draws + 1 vehicle chest each |
| Wagon Master | ALL items from all 4 wagons |
Read that last row twice — the Master receives ALL items from all 4 wagons. The appointment is a real payout, which is exactly why the chest confusion persists: the guards’ 2 chests come on top of a share, not out of the Master’s pool.
⏱️ Caravan Phases, Plunder Limits & Gift Perks
-
Waiting Phase (4 Hours):
- Before departure, an alliance caravan enters a 4-hour staging period.
- Wagon Master: During this window, the Master can refresh carriage rewards. After 5 refreshes, the caravan is guaranteed to upgrade into a Golden Caravan. The Master also assigns guards.
- Passengers: Members can select and switch carriages freely. At 5 minutes before departure, 5 random queued passengers are locked in.
-
Transit Phase & Plunder Rules:
- Outside players and foreign kingdoms can attack the caravan en route.
- Each carriage can be pillaged up to 3 times (looters can steal up to 3 cargo slots).
- High-power guards prevent loss and ensure 100% payout to all participants!
-
Alliance Gift Level Milestones:
- When the Alliance Gift reaches Lv. 8, Lv. 12, Lv. 16, Lv. 20, and Lv. 25, the daily free caravan gains permanent capacity expansions and reward multipliers.
- Purchasing a Golden Caravan instantly unlocks all max-tier privileges without delay.
Caravans: The UR Shards Strategy
Caravans are the daily caravan event running alongside the wagon:
- Core decisions: which caravans to attack, how to set up your alliance caravan, and maximizing daily rewards.
- Caravans and Covert Ops never count toward the plunder limit — they are exempt from the daily cap that governs normal raiding (see the Economy guide).
- No real troop loss, no stamina cost. Zero risk, every day.
- ALWAYS run them. And remember from the KvK guide: caravans and Covert Ops score for both KvK and Alliance Duel — the same run pays twice.
Korpez’ daily caravan routine
- Failed attacks DO NOT consume an attempt! The most critical takeaway for newcomers: if your attack on an enemy caravan fails, your 4 daily plunder attempts remain 100% intact. You can safely test defender strength without fear of wasting a daily run.
- Attack only caravans carrying 2+ UR shards visible in the loot preview. A 2-shard carrier often drops 1 per hit; 3–4-shard targets are rarer and worth two hits. Skip everything that doesn’t show UR shards.
- Send your own caravans at off-peak hours and strictly 1 at a time. When rival kingdoms are asleep, routes are completely safe. Stagger your dispatches one by one, always escorting with your primary Squad 1.
- Save UR-tier caravan refreshes for Alliance Duel days — only then does the quest checkbox matter; on standard days stick with purple or natural gold caravans.
- Share plunder reports in alliance chat — caravan reports are shareable directly from the Records tab, so allies can jump the same juicy targets.

| 5:40 | Alliance Wagon Setup | Wagon Master coordination, Guardians assignment, and ticket aggregation before launch. |
| 7:25 | Safe Dispatching | Sending caravans during quiet hours with primary Squad 1 escorts. |
Plundering Other Servers
The cross-server caravan route:
- Open Caravan Trade and check the green checkmark on “Exclude this server’s caravans” — it filters out home server caravans and reveals foreign ones. Cross-server dispatch can also be launched directly while viewing status.
- Go to Other Caravans, tap a caravan — and the Plunder button teleports you to that Kingdom.
- Close the popup — and you can freely roam that Kingdom while you are there.
Box Priority: Gold, Purple, Blue
When you are staring at a foreign map full of caravans, the target order is:
| Box color | Value |
|---|---|
| GOLD | Highest — UR tier. Always the target. |
| Purple | Very good — SSR tier. Priority target when gold is out of reach. |
| Blue | Backup — SR tier. Filler when the map is picked clean. |
- Check the star rating and rewards before attacking — the preview shows what the box pays.
- Better color + higher stars = better rewards. Color first, stars as the tiebreaker.

Coachman Playbook: Gold Runs, VIPs, and Defense
The alliance caravan runs once a day. R4/R5 appoints the coachman (кучер); ordinary members cannot take the seat themselves. After appointment the caravan does not leave at once — a 4-hour preparation stage follows, during which the coachman upgrades the caravan, passengers take seats, the VIP is assigned, and defense is set. A caravan can be plundered up to 3 times per run, with part of the cargo genuinely at risk — this is about delivery, not just rewards.
Why the coachman seat matters
The coachman is the run’s big winner: on top of the four standard wagons there is a hidden lead wagon, so the coachman collects roughly five wagons of rewards instead of one. Keep the rotation transparent — a queue, activity rewards, or Duel-of-Alliance ranking all work; a permanent unexplained coachman breeds resentment.
Rule one: make it golden
After appointment, the coachman’s first job is refreshing the caravan. 5 refreshes × 5 caravan tickets = 25 tickets for a guaranteed Golden Caravan. The coachman does not have to pay it all alone: passengers boarding the caravan can contribute tickets, and the healthy alliance norm is 2–3 tickets per person rather than one. Once the fifth refresh lands, stop — do not turn the caravan into a roulette wheel chasing a cosmic roll. There is another caravan tomorrow.


Passenger discipline: watch the headcount, not just the loot
Each ordinary wagon seats only 5 people. Overflow is resolved by the game itself — and the kicked passenger is often the one who sat down first. A slightly worse wagon with 3–4 calm riders beats a jackpot wagon with eight people piled in. Seats can be switched freely during the 4 hours, so check back shortly before departure.

VIP passenger: two wagons, chosen by the coachman
At Alliance Gift Lv. 20 the caravan unlocks a VIP passenger: instead of one wagon, the VIP takes two wagons picked by the coachman. Agree on the VIP in advance — the invitation hangs for 60 minutes, and a missed accept means waiting or re-inviting. After accepting, the coachman hand-picks the two wagons (ask the player which two they want). The VIP cannot be kicked like an ordinary passenger, and cannot switch back to a normal seat — rarely a sacrifice at two wagons.

Guards: only if genuinely stronger
A guard posts their squads for defense but takes a cut of the coachman’s rewards. If your own squads are already stronger than the candidate guard’s, there is no point — you pay cargo for nothing. Rule: invite a guard only if clearly stronger than the coachman; otherwise take the VIP and keep the rewards whole.

Refresh your defense squads — and their epigraphs
The three defense squads must be re-saved after every serious account upgrade: new heroes, new damage, new raven, new gear mean nothing if the caravan still defends with last month’s lineup. Check that the right epigraphs sit on the right squads — a misplaced epigraph loses fights.
Gift level, 24-hour rule, and the second golden run
- Caravan boosts (faster movement, fewer plunder attempts, core defense, VIP unlock) come from the gift track — open that tab more than once. At gift Lv. 25, ordinary wagons gain extra passenger capacity, which matters for big active alliances.
- Level the Alliance Gift itself: active Blight farming plus extra points from advanced summons raise it, compounding into a faster, harder-to-rob caravan.
- New members must spend 24 hours in the alliance before joining the caravan — remember this after a transfer.
- During preparation, collect trade agreements (they arrive by mail if forgotten). Passengers boarding also drop the coachman likes — small, but the coachman’s day is the people’s-love day.
- A second golden caravan per day exists but costs extra every time. It is for big alliances whose first caravan overflows — not a must-have for a half-empty run.

A good caravan is when everyone thinks a little: the coachman golds the run, checks defense, and places the VIP; passengers watch their wagon; the alliance agrees on rules instead of improvising nightly.

❓ FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best F2P team in Last Asylum: Plague?
The canonical F2P squad is Arthur, Daskal, Marlena, Harper, Claire (all Warriors — mono-faction gives +20% HP/ATK/DEF). Arthur is free from day 1; the $1 Marlena top-up is considered the best value in the game. Daskal arrives in the first Era of Revival season (day 120+).
What should I upgrade first?
Sanctuary first, always — it gates every other building and your hero level cap. Then Training Grounds, Barracks, Research Lab, Infirmary, Wall. Keep the Builder’s Hut at Sanctuary level until Sanctuary 15 for free construction speedups.
When does Marlena unlock?
Day 66 for free — or immediately via the $1 starter top-up. Save UR shards so she lands at 8★ right away, then push 10★.
How do I get Cynthia as F2P?
Cynthia arrives via the Wishing Wheel on day 8. Save diamonds from day 1 (skip everything else) — ~11,500 diamonds total, and always spin ×10 (single spins waste tokens).
How do I get antitoxin?
Antitoxin Workshop + Stable production, every building upgrade completion, Falcon Quests (nearly all of them), Covert Ops and Caravan Trade (including plundering others’ ops — up to 5/day), and Blight/Elite Blight hunts (10/20 stamina). Events pay large amounts.
Why did my plunder income drop to almost nothing?
You hit the daily plunder limit: below the limit 100%, from 1× the limit you keep only 15%, from 1.3× only 5%. It resets at 02:00 UTC. The limit scales with Sanctuary level (2.5M at Lv.10–12 up to 30M at Lv.30) and rises immediately when you upgrade Sanctuary. A yellow triangle under your Might shows the status.
What should I buy in the shops?
Sanctuary/Expedition/Alliance shops: Crow Essence and UR Hero Omnifragments first. Honor shop is for gear blueprints only (never epigraph chests there). All shops restock Monday.
Are diamonds worth spending on speedups?
Only the VIP-shop 8h speedups are considered acceptable purchases — and only after hero resources. Community rule: never dump diamonds into speedups over hero wheel events (Cynthia day 8, Joker after day 15).
What faction should I build?
Warriors are the best early game (free Arthur/Harper shards, $1 Marlena). Rangers peak mid game (counter Warriors). Warlocks are the best late game but need heavy long-term investment. Mono-faction (5 heroes of one type) is the current meta because UR epigraphs buff a single faction.
How does Claire SSR→UR conversion work?
Opens on Era Day 8. She lands at 6★ and the run to 10★ costs 1,600 SSR shards (each substage costs 2× the SSR price). There’s a team-buff dip between 6★–9★ — skip it by banking Hall of Honor levels before converting (Lv.60→8★, Lv.100→9★, Lv.160→instant 10★).
How do I redeem gift codes?
In-game: Avatar (top-left) → Settings → Gift Code. iOS or web: log in at the official redemption page with your linked Facebook/Google account, pick server and character, enter the code.
What are the biggest beginner mistakes?
Upgrading everything equally instead of one main squad; judging heroes before high stars (Marlena is the classic late bloomer); splitting Awakening materials across heroes; wasting gems on VIP levels over hero wheels; skipping daily plunder (~27M resources/day); letting stamina cap.
