And leveling up a kingdom is how you raise that global population. Each level gives a set amount of population (the middle column) To level a kingdom up to level 50, for example, you need 1 million global population. We have 37 kingdoms. So, removing the one currently at level 49, the other 36 need to provide about 26,389 each. That means you need them to be about level 42 and 43. If they’re at that level, you can upgrade the level 49 to level 50 (with the right amount of xp/crystals). If not you can’t. EDIT: It should be the other 37, not 36. They would need about 25,675, which would still equate to level 42-43. ---

**Leveling up kingdoms costs.** Gold-Only Levels (1 to 10) - **Level 2:** 500 Gold - **Level 3:** 1,000 Gold - **Level 4:** 2,000 Gold - **Level 5:** 4,000 Gold - **Level 6:** 8,000 Gold - **Level 7:** 15,000 Gold - **Level 8:** 22,000 Gold - **Level 9:** 30,000 Gold - **Level 10:** 40,000 Gold Since gold is easier to get than crystals, it is advisable to level all kingdoms up to at least 10 before the update. Advanced Levels (11 to 20) - **Level 11:** 55,000 Gold + 2 Color Deeds - **Level 12:** 75,000 Gold + 4 Color Deeds - **Level 13:** 100,000 Gold + 6 Color Deeds - **Level 14:** 140,000 Gold + 8 Color Deeds + 1 Imperial Deed - **Level 15:** 200,000 Gold + 10 Color Deeds + 3 Imperial Deeds - **Level 16:** 300,000 Gold + 3 Imperial Deeds + 2 Books of Deeds - **Level 17:** 400,000 Gold + 4 Imperial Deeds + 4 Books of Deeds - **Level 18:** 500,000 Gold + 5 Imperial Deeds + 6 Books of Deeds - **Level 19:** 840,000 Gold + 7 Imperial Deeds + 8 Books of Deeds - **Level 20:** 1,000,000 Gold + 10 Imperial Deeds + 10 Books of Deeds Converting these values into the conversion table (3 deeds=1 coloured crystal, 1 book=16 coloured crystals, 4 imperial deeds=1 rainbow crystal) gives the following: - **Level 11:** 55,000 Gold + 1 colour crystal - **Level 12:** 75,000 Gold + 2 colour crystal - **Level 13:** 100,000 Gold + 2 colour crystal - **Level 14:** 140,000 Gold + 3 colour crystal + 1 rainbow crystal - **Level 15:** 200,000 Gold + 4 colour crystal + 1 rainbow crystal - **Level 16:** 300,000 Gold + 1 rainbow crystal + 32 colour crystal - **Level 17:** 400,000 Gold + 1 rainbow crystal + 64 colour crystal - **Level 18:** 500,000 Gold + 2 rainbow crystal + 96 colour crystal - **Level 19:** 840,000 Gold + 2 rainbow crystal + 128 colour crystal - **Level 20:** 1,000,000 Gold + 3 rainbow crystal + 160 colour crystal Since we can also see what the return is from leveling up, here: > [@9.2 Crystal Kingdom: A Deep Dive!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/9-2-crystal-kingdom-a-deep-dive/89654/1): > > ### Kingdom Level and Power conversion > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/5/2/52fbafc5c2bd68e8a753caea96d976e45a364781.jpeg) We can calculate what kingdom xp we get compared to what we’d get as a straight conversion: Level\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Conversion\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Upgrade Value - **Level 11:** 100\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 12:** 200\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 13:** 200\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 14:** 900\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 15:** 1000\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 16:** 3800\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 17:** 7000\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 18:** 10800\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 19:** 14000\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 20:** 17800\_\_\_\_\_2000 As you can see, up to level 13, there is a net advantage to leveling up the kingdom BEFORE the update. Beyond level 13, there is a net disadvantage at every single level. If your kingdom is level 13 or above already, you should NOT upgrade it before the update to 9.2 or you will be worse off as a result. (Disclaimer. Values are rounded up for conversion. If you convert more than the listed value, these values will not be as accurate.) ---
**Author:** ![Zuul-Emo](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/z/67e7ee/32.png) [@Zuul-Emo](https://community.gemsofwar.com/u/Zuul-Emo)\ **Post date:** [May 13, 2026, 9:23pm UTC](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/9-2-maths-corner/89657/4 "2026-05-13T21:23:15Z")
Trying to get more exact values without rounding up, would give the following values: - **Level 11:** 66xp\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 12:** 133xp\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 13:** 200xp\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 14:** 416xp\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 15:** 1383xp\_\_\_\_\_820 - **Level 16:** 3650xp\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 17:** 7000xp\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 18:** 10350xp\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 19:** 13850xp\_\_\_\_\_2000 - **Level 20:** 17500xp\_\_\_\_\_2000 So, assuming you had a stockpile of deeds, books and imperial deeds, so rounding off wasn’t a factor, the point at which upgrading is no longer advised would be raised to above level 14. Beyond that point, you are always worse off if you upgrade before 9.2 Disclaimer: It’s worth pointing out that for a player to determine the best course of action between level 11 and 14, they should look at their current totals and what their totals will be if they go ahead with upgrading, as the fact values are founded up means what would be advised generally might not be best for a specific player. ---

You the goat. Can i ask. When converted, are our team stats. Better or worse, so atm we get a couple of magic or life ect at max kingdom level. When converted. Are we more or less of specific stat. Cheers if you know Zuul 🍻 ---

> [@Cheersdude](#): > > When converted, are our team stats. > Better or worse Under the current system we get stat points at kingdom levels: 10,15,20 and power levels: 5,10,20,30 Under the new system we will get stat points at levels: 5,10,15,20,30,40,50, then every 10 after that but that’s not affected by conversion. So, the conversion maths is kinda wonky, but I think we get the same stats earlier. It would depend what combination of kingdom and power level you had, but I think you should be the same or better, never worse. ---

I dont know if this is in the blog. But, this new currency, looks like its forever, and will be needed forever. So can we have, some conversions in forge for: Souls, ingots, curse runes, diamonds, gems, chaos shards. So we can get rid of 10s of thousands of useless things . Especially ingots. ---

> [@Cheersdude](#): > > And in a year or 2, no capped classes 🤪🤣 Seriously? That’s crazy. > [@Cheersdude](#): > > So can we have, some conversions in forge You’d probably need to request that in the blog, or as a feedback post. Doubt we’ll get that any time soon, but maybe at some point. Would be nice to get less currencies. I was hoping that was the point of this update, but I think we will wind up with around 30 more than before, so that failed. 🤣 ---

Yeah, that was the info I was going off of, and I shared the link at the top in case people wanted more info. I wanted to try and work out what level you’d need other kingdoms to be at, in order to reach certain levels. The blog has a chart of what global population you need, but that doesn’t say what prestige level it corresponds to. I take the formula as: To upgrade Kingdom X to level Y, you need to reach the global population equivalent to that level, referred to as GP(Y). The amount of population kingdom X is currently giving is always equal to the population given by level Y-1, referred to as XP(Y-1). And the other kingdoms must reach the target population average, referred to as TPA So, TPA=[GP(Y)-XP(Y-1)]/37 As in my example, to get a kingdom to level 50, the TPA is equal to [(1,000,000)-(50,000)]/37=25,675, so if TPA=25,675 then all other kingdoms need to average prestige level 42 or 43. EDIT: Updated formula and example numbers due to wrong info on my part. ---

Hate to bother you, but you did so well here…If I’ve got a few Kingdoms not yet at KL 13, would it also be best to craft the deeds needed to get there, or would using those writs end up making it worse? ---

I spent 30 Deed Books to level up a kingdom from level 15 to level 20, so it will only convert into 10k additional XP from that upgrade. If I had kept those books instead, they would have been worth 48k XP from the books alone — not even counting the Imperial Deeds and gold. This is just terribly wrong. I can accept some loss from new patch changes, but this? ---

> [@Nagflar\_dv](#): > > Why /36 and not /38? There’s 37 kingdoms in total, and you have to discount the one you’re trying to level, because it would be above the average (otherwise you wouldn’t have to worry about whether you have enough population to level it up). So, 36 kingdoms left, and you need the average of them to be above a certain point, in order for the global population to be high enough. ---

> [@TheDeadlyOmega](#): > > would it also be best to craft the deeds needed to get there, or would using those writs end up making it worse? Jeto said that the total will be rounded up. So any amount of writs below 1,800 will be turned into 1 rainbow crystal. If that’s the case, it’s best to turn as many of your writs as you can into deeds, before the update. As long as you keep at least one, it’ll become a crystal. If you have above 1,800, you would do the same thing, but just keep the total left at or above 1,801 (or multiple of 1,800 then plus one). So, convert as many writs as you can into deeds, then it’s up to you whether to spend those deeds on leveling up kingdoms, but if it’s not level 13, it should be worth doing, in my opinion.
