Tavern Recruit
Watch the Tavern's recruit board for the generals you want, and buy them when they appear.
Tavern Recruit opens the Tavern's recruit board and looks for the generals you target. When one appears it buys it — recruited outright, or as general tokens — up to a limit you set per general, then rerolls the board and looks again.

The settings form
Summary line
Recruit generals from the tavern — the ones you picked.
Refresh … times
How many times to reroll the recruit board in one run, looking for your targets. Drag the number sideways, click it to type, or click it and scroll. 0 reads don't refresh — the run only checks the board it opens on. Range 0 to 9,999. Default: 20.
Overall buy cap (… buys)
Stops the whole run after this many buys across all targets. 0 reads no overall cap. Range 0 to 99. Default: 0.
Search generals…
Filters the tiles by name. It does not change what is targeted.
Target summary
Right of the search: No targets yet, or for example 3 targets · 1 via tokens.
General tiles
One per general on your search list: portrait, name and rank, framed gold for Epic and purple for Legendary. An untargeted tile reads Tap to target. Tap the portrait to target it (a check appears) or tap again to drop it.
Recruit / Tokens
On a targeted Epic: Recruit buys the general outright; Tokens buys its general tokens instead. Default: Recruit. A Legendary tile reads Recruit only — the game sells no tokens for legendaries.
Max
On a targeted tile: buy up to this many of this general in one run, then leave it. Range 1 to 99. Default: 1.
Empty search list message
No generals on the search list yet — add them under Resources → Recruit Generals and turn on each one's “Add to search” toggle.
Save changes / All tasks
Save changes appears only while you have unsaved edits; All tasks goes back to the card grid.
With no general targeted, the task shows under Needs setup: “Tavern Recruit” needs “recruit targets” set before it can run.
How it runs
- Opens the recruit board. It walks to the Tavern on your city map, taps Recruit and checks the Recruit General window opened.
- Sets the rarity filters in the window to match your targets.
- Looks at the board. For the first target on screen that is still under its Max, it opens the purchase window and pays by Recruit or Tokens, as you chose. It buys one general per board, then moves on.
- Rerolls the board, confirming the game's refresh prompt when it appears, and looks again — up to your Refresh count.
- Stops early when the overall buy cap is reached, when the game says your general list is full, or when there is not enough gold. Otherwise it uses every refresh, even after each target reached its Max.
- What it spends: gold for each recruit, or tokens; rerolls past the game's free ones can cost in-game currency.
- What it reports: one Activity Monitor row, Recruit from the tavern, closing on Recruited N time(s). Its details list every find and buy in order.
- When it runs: once a day, whenever the screen is free. Its Rhythm sheet offers no How often — only When it may run.
Set the overall buy cap to the total of your Max values. The run then stops as soon as every target is bought, instead of spending the rest of its refreshes.
Each reroll after the game's free ones may cost you. A high Refresh count is a spending decision, not just a search setting.
Examples
- One legendary: target it, Max 1, Refresh 20, buy cap 1.
- Tokens for two epics: both on Tokens, Max 5 each, Refresh 50, buy cap 10.
- Check once, no rerolls: Refresh 0 — it buys only what is on the board when it arrives.
Troubleshooting
The form says “No generals on the search list yet”.
Turn on Add to search on the generals you want in Resources ▸ Recruit Generals, then reopen the form.
A target was on the board but it never bought it.
Either that target already reached its Max this run (the log says Skipping … — at limit), or its captured art does not match what the game shows. Re-capture the general in Recruit Generals.
It only bought one general although two targets were showing.
By design it buys one general per board, then rerolls. Raise Refresh if you want more chances.
The run fails with “Couldn't open Recruit via the Tavern”.
Map and calibrate the Tavern in City Mapper and give the instance its city map (City map in Settings).
The run fails with “Not enough gold”.
The purchase needed more gold than the account had. The run stops rather than keep rerolling.
The run fails with “Couldn't find the Buy-Token button”.
The purchase window showed no tokens option for that general. Switch that target to Recruit.
The run ends with “General list full”.
The game refused because your roster is full. Make room, then run it again.
