VIP can grant governors powerful exclusive buffs. All governors will receive Template:Icon names every day they log in. The more days you log in consecutively, the more VIP points you will earn (up to a maximum of 200 Template:Icon names per day).
The VIP Shop is unlocked after building the Shop at City Hall level 5 and allows you to purchase some items at a reduced gem cost, depending on your VIP level.
Exlusive buffs
The following tables outline the benefits of each VIP level. Each Special Privileges can only be purchased once.
Research Speed +5%
Training Speed +5%
Food Production +9%
Wood Production +9%
Stone Production +9%
Gold Production +9%
Action Point Recovery +5%
Gathering Speed +5%
Building Speed +5%
This second table lists each of the bonuses applied to gathering, action points, building, researching, training, hospitals, and troops. A legend can be viewed by hovering over the column header (PC/Mac browsers) or viewed below the table (mobile browsers).
Note: A permanent second builder queue is unlocked upon reaching VIP 6 (not shown in the table below). This eliminates the need to use Builder Recruitment items every 2 days to maintain a second queue. As a result, many players recommend unlocking VIP level 6 by investing with gems earned through the normal course play, such as main line advancement quests and city hall upgrade rewards.
Few free-to-play users generally continue past VIP 6, though VIP 7 unlocks the ability to buy much more cost-effective Speedups through the VIP Shop.

VIP Chests
Each VIP level allows the collection of two chests.
The Free Every Day chest is available for collection once any time between 0:00:00 UTC and 23:59:59 UTC. When a Free Every Day Chest is available for collection, a red dot will appear in the top left-hand corner of the game when in city view or map view, near the VIP icon and rank.
The Special Privileges Chest is can only be purchased once per VIP level. These chests may be purchased from lower ranks at any time, even after upgrading VIP level, provided they have not already been purchased.
