The ClashClock blog
Questions about Clash of Clans upgrades, answered by running the planner and reading the game data. Every post shows its method, so you can check the numbers or redo them for your own village.
How long does it take to max each Town Hall?
Builder days, lab days and gold for Town Halls 8 to 18, from the game data. Why the Laboratory, not the number of builders, sets the floor for maxing.
What does sleeping cost your builders?
Simulated with ClashClock's planner: an hour of sleep costs a builder about 10 seconds with the right order, and nearly 3 minutes at Town Hall 12 without it.
What does the 6th builder (B.O.B.) really cost?
B.O.B.'s price in builder days, Builder Gold, Builder Elixir and calendar time, from ClashClock's own path: what dominates it and what changes it.
Rush or Max: which gets you there sooner?
Simulated with ClashClock's planner: at Town Halls 11 to 15 a rush stands on the next hall in 9 to 16 days, Max in about 100 to 300. What it leaves undone.
How many days does the Gold Pass really save?
Simulated with ClashClock's planner: the Gold Pass saves about 5.5 days a season on the road to a maxed hall, but under a day on the next Town Hall in week one.
What does maxing every hero and its gear cost?
Per hero: levels, builder days, Dark Elixir and the Shiny, Glowy and Starry Ore of every piece of equipment, from the game data, with the ore bill by Town Hall.
