Steel Cuffs are a crucial resource in Lords Mobile, especially if you're aiming to unlock the powerful T4 troops. These cuffs are essential for upgrading your Prison to level 25, a prerequisite for the Academy, which in turn unlocks the T4 troop research. But how exactly do you get your hands on these elusive items?

The primary and most straightforward way to acquire Steel Cuffs is by purchasing them with Gems. This is often the quickest method, but it can be costly. You'll need a total of 20,000 Steel Cuffs to get your Prison to level 25, which can translate to a significant amount of Gems. I remember when I was pushing for my T4 troops, I had to save up Gems for weeks to buy the last few thousand cuffs I needed. It was a grind, but finally unlocking those powerful troops was worth it.

Other Ways to Get Steel Cuffs

While buying them with Gems is the main way, there are a few other methods to get Steel Cuffs for free:

• Guild Gifts: When a guildmate purchases a special bundle, there's a chance that the guild gift will contain Steel Cuffs. This is a passive way to collect them, so being in an active guild is a huge advantage. I've been lucky a few times and received a good amount of cuffs from my guildmates' purchases.
• Guild Fest: Participating in Guild Fest and achieving a high rank can reward you with Steel Cuffs. The rewards vary depending on your guild's performance, so it's important to contribute as much as you can.
• Vergeway: This is a tower defense-style minigame within Lords Mobile. You can earn Steel Cuffs as rewards for completing certain stages. It's a fun way to break up the monotony of the main game and earn some valuable resources at the same time.
• Trial by Fire: There is a chance to get Steel Cuffs in the Trial by Fire event. The rewards are not guaranteed, but it's worth participating in for the chance to get some free cuffs.

I recall one time during a Guild Fest, our guild was just a few points shy of the next reward tier, which included a hefty amount of Steel Cuffs. We all rallied together in the last few hours, pushing through quests and helping each other out. We managed to hit the tier just before the event ended, and it was a great feeling of accomplishment. Those extra cuffs helped me get my Prison to the next level.

Unlocking T4 troops is a major milestone in Lords Mobile. If you're looking to make in-app purchases to speed up the process, consider using Playstorm to earn Apple or Google Play gift cards by playing free games. You can then use these gift cards to buy the resources you need in Lords Mobile.
