Do you want to elevate your Clan Capital to new heights and dominate Raid Weekends in Clash of Clans? Then you're in the right place! Capital Gold is the lifeblood of your Clan Capital, allowing your clan to collectively upgrade buildings, unlock new districts, and strengthen your defenses. But how exactly do you get your hands on this precious resource? Let's dive deep into a comprehensive guide to maximizing your Capital Gold earnings!
The Ultimate Guide to Amassing Capital Gold in Clash of Clans
Capital Gold is essential for any thriving Clan Capital. Without it, your clan's progress will stagnate, and you'll struggle to compete in the challenging Raid Weekends. This guide will break down every reliable method to earn Capital Gold, from daily passive income to strategic raid weekend attacks.
Step 1: Understanding the Fundamentals – What is Capital Gold?
Before we jump into earning it, let's quickly grasp what Capital Gold is and what it's used for.
- What it is: Capital Gold is a special currency exclusive to the Clan Capital. Unlike regular Gold and Elixir, it's a shared resource that your entire clan contributes to and uses.
- What it's for: Capital Gold is used to:
- Build new structures from ruins in your Clan Capital districts.
- Upgrade existing buildings (defenses, resource generators, troop barracks, spell factories) within your Clan Capital.
- Unlock new districts by upgrading your Capital Hall.
- Level up your Clan Capital troops and spells by upgrading their respective barracks and spell factories.
Essentially, Capital Gold is the fuel that drives your Clan Capital's growth and power. The more you have, the stronger your clan's collective base becomes, and the better you'll perform in Raid Weekends.
Step 2: The Forge – Your Daily Capital Gold Factory
The Forge is your primary passive income source for Capital Gold. It's a building in your Home Village that allows you to convert your excess Home Village and Builder Base resources into Capital Gold.
Sub-heading: Unlocking and Utilizing the Forge
- Unlocking the Forge: The Forge becomes available once your Town Hall reaches Level 6. This is your very first step into the Clan Capital system!
- Forge Slots: The Forge has multiple crafting slots that unlock at various Town Hall levels:
- Slot 1: Available at Town Hall 6 (produces free Capital Gold every 24 hours).
- Slot 2: Unlocks at Town Hall 9.
- Slot 3: Unlocks at Town Hall 11.
- Slot 4: Unlocks at Town Hall 12.
- Slot 5: Unlocks at Town Hall 14.
- Converting Resources: Once unlocked, you can assign an available builder to the Forge to convert your standard resources (Gold, Elixir, Dark Elixir, Builder Gold, Builder Elixir) into Capital Gold.
- Gold and Elixir conversion becomes available at Town Hall 9.
- Builder Gold and Elixir conversion becomes available at Builder Hall 8.
- Dark Elixir conversion becomes available at Town Hall 13.
- Builder Requirement: Remember, a builder is required for the entire duration of the resource conversion process. This means if all your builders are busy, you won't be able to craft Capital Gold in the Forge using resources.
- Maximizing Forge Output:
- Keep your Forge busy! Always have a conversion going, especially in the later stages of the game when you have more resources and builders.
- Utilize Builder Potions: These magic items drastically reduce the time it takes for your builders to complete tasks, including Forge conversions. Use them strategically to speed up your Capital Gold production.
- Gold Pass Builder Boost: If you have the Gold Pass, the Builder Boost perk not only reduces upgrade times but also lowers the resource cost and reduces the time required for Forge conversions. This is a massive advantage!
Step 3: Raid Weekends – The Mother Lode of Capital Gold
Raid Weekends are by far the most significant source of Capital Gold. These weekly events, typically running from Friday to Monday, allow your clan to attack other Clan Capitals and earn substantial amounts of Capital Gold and Raid Medals.
Sub-heading: Participating in and Excelling at Raid Weekends
- Clan Participation: Only Clans that are Level 2 or higher and have unlocked the Clan Capital can participate in Raid Weekends. Your Clan Leader or Co-Leaders must opt your clan in.
- The Attack System:
- Persistent Damage: When your clan attacks a district in an enemy Capital, any damage dealt persists for subsequent attackers from your clan. This means multiple clanmates can contribute to taking down a single district.
- Limited Attacks: Each player gets a limited number of attacks (usually 5) per Raid Weekend.
- Bonus Attack: You can earn one additional attack per Raid Weekend if you are the player who successfully destroys the last building in a district, achieving a 3-star victory for that district. This encourages strategic play to maximize attacks.
- Earning Capital Gold during Raids:
- Destroying Buildings: You earn Capital Gold for every building you destroy in an enemy Clan Capital. Larger and more fortified defenses generally yield more Capital Gold.
- District Completion: When your clan completely destroys all buildings in a district, all participating players receive a bonus amount of Capital Gold.
- Capital Peak Destruction: If your clan manages to wipe out all districts in an enemy Capital, including the Capital Peak, everyone participating receives a substantial bonus in both Capital Gold and Raid Medals.
- Bonus for Surviving Troops: A crucial tip! If you manage to 3-star a district with fewer troops deployed or with many troops still alive, you get a bonus Capital Gold reward based on the housing space of your surviving troops. This encourages efficient and precise attacks. Try to use just enough troops to get the job done and save the rest!
- Strategic Attacking for Maximum Capital Gold:
- Coordinate with your Clan: Discuss attack strategies with your clanmates. Focus fire on specific districts to clear them quickly and earn completion bonuses.
- Target High-Value Districts: Some districts might have higher-level defenses or more buildings, potentially yielding more Capital Gold. Prioritize these if your clan is strong enough.
- Efficient Troop Deployment: Don't just spam troops! Learn the attack patterns for different troop combinations and district layouts. For example:
- Super Wizards are excellent for splash damage.
- Hog Raiders can bypass walls and target defenses.
- Sneaky Archers are great for sniping isolated buildings or chipping away at defenses.
- Battle Rams are fantastic for opening up compartments and soaking damage.
- Utilize Spells Wisely: Spells persist for two attacks on a district. Coordinate with your clan to use Frost Spells to freeze key defenses or Rage Spells to boost your troops' damage.
- Focus on 3-Stars: While not always possible, aiming for 3-stars on districts maximizes your Capital Gold from destruction and also gives you that valuable bonus attack. Even if you can't 3-star, getting as much destruction as possible is key.
Sub-heading: Raid Medals and the Trader – Another Path to Capital Gold
While not directly Capital Gold, Raid Medals (earned from Raid Weekends) can be converted into Capital Gold.
- Raid Medal Rewards: At the end of each Raid Weekend, all participating clan members receive Raid Medals based on:
- How many districts your clan destroyed.
- How well your clan's Capital defenses held up against enemy attacks (based on housing space of troops destroyed by your defenses).
- Using Raid Medals at the Trader: The Trader, who appears periodically in your Home Village, often offers deals where you can purchase Home Village or Builder Base resources using your Raid Medals. You can then use these purchased resources in the Forge to craft Capital Gold. While it's an indirect method and not the most efficient way to get Capital Gold directly, it's a viable option if you have an abundance of Raid Medals and need to boost your Capital Gold production.
Step 4: Clan Capital Progression and Unlocks
As your Clan Capital grows, so do your opportunities to earn and utilize Capital Gold.
Sub-heading: Upgrading Your Capital Hall and Districts
- Capital Hall Upgrades: Upgrading your Capital Hall (the main building in Capital Peak) is crucial. It unlocks new districts, allows you to build more structures, and increases the maximum level of existing buildings. This directly impacts how much Capital Gold you can invest and how powerful your capital becomes.
- District Hall Upgrades: Each district has its own District Hall. Upgrading these unlocks more ruins within that specific district, allowing for more buildings and ultimately, more Capital Gold investment.
- Clan Member Contributions: Remember, Capital Gold is a collective effort. Every clan member's contribution to building and upgrading structures directly benefits the entire clan. The more active and collaborative your clan is, the faster your Capital Gold will flow and be put to good use.
Step 5: Beyond the Basics – Advanced Tips for Capital Gold Accumulation
- Stay in an Active Clan: This cannot be stressed enough. A clan with active members who participate consistently in Raid Weekends and keep their Forges running will generate significantly more Capital Gold than an inactive one.
- Prioritize Forge Upgrades (indirectly): While you can't directly upgrade the Forge, upgrading your Town Hall unlocks more Forge slots, which is essentially an upgrade to your passive Capital Gold income.
- Manage Your Builders: If you're struggling with Capital Gold, consider dedicating one or two builders to the Forge consistently, especially if you have an abundance of regular resources.
- Learn Attack Strategies: The better your attacks are in Raid Weekends, the more Capital Gold you'll earn. Watch YouTube videos, practice in friendly challenges, and experiment with different troop compositions. Mastering 2-shot or even 1-shot strategies for districts will maximize your Capital Gold per attack.
