Yep. I think the way this is being calculated is a really bad decision, and it’s gonna sour a lot of people who managed to level up their kingdoms.

Just to work this out, in case anyone is wondering:
Is it worth converting deeds into books, if you have over 50?
- If you keep them as deeds - 48 deeds would be converted into 16 coloured crystals. The remaining 2 would become another coloured crystal, making 17 total. 17 coloured crystals are worth 1,700xp If you have more than 50, the calculation is a little different, and the first 51 deeds would be worth 1,700xp
- If you convert them into books - 1 book is worth 16 coloured crystals. Worth 1,600xp.
So, converting them into books is a net loss. Not a huge one, but still a loss.
EDIT: At 150 deeds, the amount is divisible by 3, so it gives a clearer difference. 150 deeds would convert to 50 coloured crystals. Which would give 5,000xp. 3 books would give 48 coloured crystals. Which would give 4,800xp. Clearly worse off.

You’re right. There’s 38. Stupidly I googled it and got out of date information. Double checked and there ARE 38 now. 
But that would mean we use 37 in the formula.
Thanks for catching that.

Absolutely… I upgrade my kingdoms every once in a while once I stockpiled some deeds and books. I happened to do it last week. Bad luck I guess?
In any case, this is a bad decision on their part. Maybe this is the final straw from me. It feels like updates still fail to fully address issues or are implemented poorly. I seriously hope they reconsider it after seeing player’s reactions here.

Why would we want the 300 writs to become Deeds>Coloured Crystals (100xp with the colour restriction) by converting writs into deeds before the update, instead of keeping the Rainbow Crystal (600xp without the colour restriction) flexibility of 1800 writs?
I agree. You got it figured out.

Current best info is this:
But Jeto is waiting for more info. So, this might be subject to change once we have news.
Based on the above, values are assumed to be rounded up, so anything below 1,800 writs would be negligible - meaning 1 writ and 1,799 writs would be the same after conversion. So, there would be no benefit in hoarding 300 writs, over hoarding 100 and converting 200 into deeds.
If that wasn’t the case, and writs were converted by some other metric, then yes, rainbow crystals are better than coloured ones, so you’d want more of them. But if 1,800 writs is needed for a single rainbow crystal, 300 would still just be one crystal.

Ok, I get your angle now, tx for the clarification.

Jeto has confirmed this:
So, assuming the information is correct, then it would be best to keep at least one writ, but convert as many as possible to deeds, as expected.
Sorry, I still dont get it. Why should deeds be better for conversion than writs? You do geht the same XP from 6 deeds and 1800 writs right? And Rainbow crystals are more versatile?
If its not too much of a hassle, please explain the reasoning once more :-)
I’m sitting on quite a pile of writs and dont want to mess this up, thanks.
You are right. No need to craft deeds cause it’s only could be used in some kingdoms while Rainbow crystals you may use anywhere.

So I’m leaning towards ensuring that I have a number of Imperial Deeds that has a remainder of 1 when divided by 4..
..and a number of Deeds for each colour that has a remainder of 1 when divided by 3..
..and a number of Writs that has a remainder of less than 100 when divided by 1800.
Some optimal mix of the above

How many?
If you give me a number, I can give you an exact breakdown.
EDIT: You don’t have to, but if you can tell me exactly how many you have of stuff, I can say what I think you should do. Like which deeds to make. But, I’m not a dev, so it’s just based on my working out of what info they’re giving us.

Agreed. If you can get one extra and have an amount that has a remainder of 1, you should get an extra crystal from the 9.2 conversion, so you’ll be better off.
In theory you can do that with each colour of deeds, as well, because they each get broken down differently. So, if you have a bunch of writs and want to craft some into deeds, you should be working out which colours you need to increase and aiming to craft those deeds, so you max out the number of crystals you get. But not everyone’s gonna want to work all that out.
So, say you have 3 blue deeds and 4 red deeds, and enough writs you want to make one deed, it would be better to make a blue deed, not a red one. Since red is already is a position to have a remainder of 1, but blue isn’t.

I wrote up some pre-Update conversion advice for my alliance yesterday. Hopefully this helps:
And I put together a calculator to predict what our Prestige levels will be post update as well as the max level we’d be able to upgrade to based on Global Population.
Follow the link, make a copy of the sheet, and enter your own Kingdom Level and Power Level values to see where you’ll be:

I have tried to make a version of the spreadsheet DDPGreen made, that automatically tells you if you should be trying to craft deeds and which ones you need more of. Hopefully this works, just click this link and make a copy to try it out: GoW 9.2 Update Kingdom Calculator 2.0 - Google Sheets
