What is VIP and how do you use it please?

VIP is a paid for service in the game that you can use for various benefits. It is not available for you until you reach castle level 20, but you may earn VIP points and possibly badges before then.

Once you reach level 20 you can build the VIP Shop and preview the benefits. These includes some small troops buffs and several shortcuts to help you speed up how you lay the game. You can also use earned VIP points to exchange for rss, speedups and other items.

To unlock the shop though you need to buy the VIP badges package. There are different options for this and the cost will depend on how you do this and your currency but it is around $100. You can then use the shop and upgrade your VIP level over time to gain further benefits.
