Category: Upgrading Throne Rooms

So, I upgraded to TR-10, so I can get my fighters to 100 before the next Event.

First off, no way my fighters will be 100 before, during the event without using diamonds.  It takes 9800 diamonds roughly to get a fighter from level 85, to 100.  Doing it without diamonds takes 63.75 days, per fighter.  But being TR10, allows me the ability to get level 100 legendaries/the level 100 Artifact from the event instead of the level 85 one.  This one will be permanent.  That’s why I did it.

With the last update, the game let us know they’re getting ready to launch A NEW EVENT.

Grav will be showing up at our gates, and with him a NEW EVENT.  This is a good time to upgrade your TR.

Why is this a good time to upgrade your TR?

Good question.  Events mean free resources, lots of chest, and gear from whatever they decide to give us.  So upgrading prior to an event, means you’ll have lots of resources to upgrade your rooms/gear during the event.  I don’t know what format the event will take, but resources will be flowing, etc.

What should I consider PRIOR to upgrading my Throne room?

Well, once your fighters start leveling up, you’re going to suck at Arena until you get back in a bracket where your gear is good.  So stock up on Arena points prior.

Upgrading to get a specific thing higher (such as Fighter level)?  This is what I did.  I wanted my Fighter Training Room to be able to go to 100 before the event.  To upgrade to the highest, you need 4,500,000 Iron and 7,500,000 Gold.  Meaning you can’t upgrade this room, until you upgrade your Vault, and your Iron Depot.  So be ready to shell out diamonds for that OR do what I did.  Save up a ton of the Daily Reward Chests that give out gold, iron, wood so that once you spend your resources upgrading a room, you can open a few hundred of these and then basically start upgrading another room using those resources.

I did this for both rooms, then used some diamonds to speed up the process, so that I could finally upgrade my fighting training room.  Now it’s maxed out.  Now I have some guys going to level 86. GO ME.

Until all your fighters are at level 100, you’re going to be slightly weaker (or VERY weak) compared to where you should be for someone at your throne level.  Check with your guild leader to make sure they’re OK with this.  In my case, I’m just over 2 Million Squad power.  I talked to my guild leader (Thanks VOC) and decided that I’m still useful at that Squad Power for the foreseeable future, and that it’s ok for me not to be over-powered for a while. (Not that 2 Mill at tr9 is SUPER powerful, but its helpful).

Resources and Squad Power.  This is another thing to consider prior to upgrading.  Save up a lot of daily resource chests, to use them in upgrading your rooms when you upgrade your throne room.  Also have Arena points stored.  You’re going to suck at Arena once you upgrade until your fighters and gear are good, so save up beforehand.

Prior to upgrading, I had 30,000 Arena Points, 60 Purple Shards (To craft Legendaries with once I upgrade the crafting rooms), and 400 resources chests.

If you’re going to use diamonds to “Build Instantly” never actually use that button.

What? Why not?

When you use this button, it’s some OUTRAGEOUS number.  Instead what you should do is start building the room, with a builder.  Then click “speed up”.  I’ve noticed the diamonds to speed up, after you start building go from like 5000 to like 3000.  I’ll remember to take screenshots next time I upgrade a room to prove my point Screen Shot Below…. but trust me. You don’t want to use that button. EVER.

So the before Above – 4782 for “instant”. If you want to maximize your resources (Someone on Reddit (user Kamilon) pointed out ‘Instant’ doesn’t use resources)… but using “Speed Up” instead is only 2494 Diamonds.

What do you upgrade first once you are your new throne level?

This is a tough question.  It depends on why you’re upgrading when you are.  If it’s just to go to the next level, order of upgrading doesn’t really matter.  If you’re upgrading to get something specific, like I wanted the ability for 100 level fighters as early as possible, it’s important to look at that room and see what it requires.

I looked at that room and saw that in order to upgrade it, I needed Iron and Gold Storage that was higher that was capable at my current level.

I would highly recommend upgrading your storages for everything first.  This is because you want to be able to maximize your resources, so if you have the ability to store more, do that.

What ones first? Well I think food is the most important aspect of this game.  You can really only get it through chests, buying it with diamonds, or through the Dining Hall.  I’d say upgrade your Cellar early so you can take advantage of food.  Remember everything costs more food the higher up you go.

After you upgrade your storage (Food, Gold, Iron, Mana, Lumber) you’re going to want to maximize your resource gathering.

As I just mentioned, food controls this game. Fights, events, etc are usually completed through spending food to do the action.  So you’re going to want to get your Dining hall upgraded as soon as possible.

Upgrading a room, makes in unusable for the upgrade time.  I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t go 3 days without food gathering for the game.  Remember you can break up big rooms into smaller rooms.  While the Dining Hall (All 3 “sections”) upgrade at once, is a relatively low VALUE cost, (3.3 million gold, 2.145 million wood, 1.35 million Iron) and could be done easily… you won’t be getting any food for the time that room is upgrading.  So I suggest breaking it up into smaller parts, and upgrading them one at a time.  It takes 3 days.  So you will have less resources for 3 days, but you will be able to continue doing events, wars, attacking people for resources.

After this, I’d recommend upgrading craft shops.

Then whatever you want.  Get everything up to max, then dominate.
