Kingshot Truegold Crucible: Practical Strategies for Truegold Refinement
This guide provides a straightforward breakdown of the refinement system in the Truegold Crucible. Because the cost of Truegold increases the more you refine in a single week, finding the right balance is important. We have outlined several weekly routines that take the daily half-price bonus into account. By comparing the cost-to-output ratios below, you can choose a practical strategy that fits your current resource levels without overspending.
Key Buildings Upgrades
These Buildings are the primary sinks for Truegold and Tempered Truegold. Plan your upgrades wisely.
Base Cost Structure (Without Daily Discount)
Here is the baseline cost before the daily 50% discount is applied. You can see exactly where the efficiency begins to drop.
| Tier Range | Cost per Refinement (Truegold) | Expected Tempered Truegold | Cost per Tempered Truegold | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 20 | 1.45 | 13.79 | Most Efficient |
| 21 to 40 | 50 | 2.15 | 23.26 | Moderate Cost |
| 41 to 60 | 100 | 3.18 | 31.45 | High Cost |
| 61 to 80 | 130 | 3.44 | 37.84 | Very High Cost |
| 81 to 100 | 160 | 3.71 | 43.13 | Lowest Efficiency |
Weekly Action Plans
Below are practical weekly routines. Compare the total cost with the expected output to find the approach that works best for your current situation.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 1 time daily (discount only)
Lowest cost per item, but the weekly yield is only around 10. Use this if your Truegold supply is critically low.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 14 times on Monday + 1 time daily
A reliable baseline routine. It safely utilizes the cheapest tier and is easy to maintain long-term.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 20 times on Monday + 1 time daily
The most balanced choice for the average player. You gain significantly more output for a small increase in cost compared to L2.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 34 times on Monday + 1 time daily
A moderate routine that pushes into the second tier. Good for active players with a steady resource income.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 40 times on Monday + 1 time daily
The practical limit for maintaining reasonable efficiency. It offsets the higher tier 3 costs by maximizing the daily half-price benefit.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 54 times on Monday + 1 time daily
Efficiency begins to drop noticeably here. Consider this only if you need to speed up a specific building upgrade.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 60 times on Monday + 1 time daily
A high-output routine. It stops right before the half-price bonus itself becomes too expensive (80 cost).
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 74 times on Monday + 1 time daily
Very resource-heavy. Recommended only for players prioritizing speed over efficiency.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 80 times on Monday + 1 time daily
Enters the final tier. The costs here are severe, even with the discount applied.
Cost per Item
Daily Routine: 94 times on Monday + 1 time daily
Maximum possible output per week, but at the lowest efficiency. Strictly for players who need to max out immediately regardless of cost.
Practical Tips
Target Plan L3
For most players, 26 refinements a week is the sweet spot for balancing resource spending and steady progress.
Avoid Arbitrary Numbers
Stopping exactly at 30 or 50 means you are paying full price for those final few attempts. Stick to the precise numbers outlined in the plans to use the discount effectively.
Frontload on Monday
Doing your bulk operations (20, 40, or 60) on Monday ensures your daily half-price bonuses apply to the most expensive slots for the rest of the week.
