If anyone can find the full RBC guide please post a link here...
All I came with is this: http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/empire/showthread.php?1942-TUTORIAL-making-gold-from-robber-barons
But it doesn't qualify as a full guide. Far from it. And doubt it is efficient to attack rbc above level 6-1 with early troops as the losses would make you loose gold instead of gaining. (or the gain margin would be tiny)

Where did you get that information, because that is completely wrong, and it is not stated in the event, I got a piece from a level 1 Robber Baron Once
Are you sure that it isn't stated in the event? I do remember something of the short on the top right-hand corner of the event screen. Too bad there isn't one going now to double check. But i could be wrong.

As far as getting ur piece at a level 1 baron, that could be an early implementation of the event. Doesn't mean it stayed at that. Just like with potions. First time around the 1st portion the effects lasted 3 hrs, this time around, 1 day.
I even got some magic potion from level 1 RBC's
I believe that it is somewhat different. There is no level restriction (assuming my memory for TKs serves me right)

The tooltip says

"Higher the level of the Robber Baron Castle, higher the chance of getting a piece"

I am completely out of bounds then. Seriously, I don't remember where i got this level restriction from.

@ OP: my appologies for posting wrong info. disregard that bit about level 3

I think you are confusing it with the fact you can only get rubies from level 3 RBC castles or above

Come to think of it, I think you are right

There might not be kerberos, but I got at least 3 magic potions from 5 level 1-3 robber barons the other day so, it depends on how far into the game you are. If you are level 20 and you attack a level 6 robber baron, then chances are you will not get the pieces or magic potion.

That bit about level restriction was resolved in the last couple of posts before. There is no level restriction for TK pieces / potion ingredients. Just rubies.

I don't think it has anything to do with player's level. But it has to do plenty with level of the rbc as well as the random factor.

Which could have been a response to another poster. If it was with regards to my post, it would have been easier to acknowledge my post otherwise it will continue to lead to confusion.

What confusion? Who is confused? In my original post, in which I quoted only the part about you getting potion ingredients from a level 1 rbc, I did say there is no level restriction for potion ingedients. So in a way, I did acknowledge your post.

Sorry, but I completely fail to see your point. Care to clarify?
