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:
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.)
