About Truegold Upgrades

Truegold (T11) and Tempered Truegold (T12) are the highest troop tiers in Kingshot. Upgrading requires significant Truegold Ore investment. Use this calculator to plan your progression path and understand the time commitment.

  • Infantry should be upgraded first (survivability multiplier)
  • T12 costs approximately 2x the Ore of T11
  • Weekly Ore income varies based on activity level

How to Use the Truegold Calculator

Step 1 โ€” Select your target tier and troop type

Choose whether you are upgrading to T11 (Truegold) or T12 (Tempered Truegold), and select the troop type โ€” Infantry, Cavalry, or Marksmen. Infantry should always be upgraded first as it provides the highest survivability multiplier for both PvP and PvE content.

Step 2 โ€” Enter your current Truegold Ore reserves

Input your current stockpile from your resource inventory. The calculator will show how many additional units you can upgrade immediately versus how many weeks of income you need to complete your goal.

Step 3 โ€” Set your weekly Ore income

Truegold Ore comes from Mystic Trial rewards, event milestone chests, and alliance shop purchases. Average active players earn roughly 200โ€“400 Ore per week. Enter your realistic weekly income based on your activity level.

Step 4 โ€” Review your upgrade timeline

The calculator outputs a week-by-week plan showing when you can complete each upgrade batch. Use this to align your training with Training Events for bonus event points โ€” never train Truegold troops outside of a training event.

Truegold Upgrade FAQ

Is it better to go wide (all types to T11) or deep (Infantry only to T12)?

For most players, going deep on Infantry to T12 is better before upgrading other types to T11. One fully upgraded troop type with max HP and defense dramatically reduces losses in Bear Hunt and PvP compared to a mixed T11 army.

What is the Ore cost difference between T11 and T12?

T12 requires approximately 2x the Truegold Ore per unit compared to T11. The Gold cost also increases significantly. Plan for a minimum of 3โ€“4 months of dedicated Ore saving to upgrade a full T12 Infantry march from scratch.

How do I increase my weekly Ore income?

Push higher Mystic Trial stages for better weekly chest rewards, complete Ore-specific event milestones, and purchase Ore bundles from the Alliance Shop with saved tokens. Higher VIP levels also unlock additional Ore sources in the VIP Shop.

Should I save Ore or spend it as I earn it?

Always save Ore until a Training Event is active, then train in bulk. Training during events earns bonus event points worth significantly more than the time advantage of training immediately. This is the single biggest efficiency multiplier for Truegold upgrades.
