Tempered Truegold Optimal Strategy

Overview

I've already shared this strategy in the community guides section of Kingshot's Discord, and I thought it would be nice to post it here as well for those who prefer reading it on the website

TG8 and Tempered Truegold Overview

Around 310-320 days into the kingdom age, you unlock Truegold 8 (TG8) building upgrades. These upgrades require a new material called Tempered Truegold, in addition to regular Truegold and other resources. Tempered Truegold is harder to obtain. The only way...

How Super Refinement Works

Super Refinement allows you to convert regular Truegold into Tempered Truegold. However, the Truegold cost increases as you move into higher refinement tiers

• You can perform up to 100 super refinements per week
• The count resets every Monday
• When it resets, you are sent back to Tier 1

Super Refinement Tiers

This section collects the practical super refinement tiers notes from the source guide and turns them into a quick planning checkpoint

• Tier 1 (1-20 refinements): 20 Truegold → 1-3 Tempered Truegold (RNG-based)
• Tier 2 (21-40 refinements): 50 Truegold → 2-3 Tempered Truegold (RNG-based)
• Tier 3 (41-60 refinements): 100 Truegold → 3-6 Tempered Truegold (RNG-based)
• Tier 4 (61-80 refinements): 130 Truegold → 3-9 Tempered Truegold (RNG-based)
• Tier 5 (81-100 refinements): 160 Truegold → 3-12 Tempered Truegold (RNG-based)

Why Rushing Is Inefficient

Because the Truegold cost increases with each tier, rushing upgrades beyond TG5 becomes inefficient once Tempered Truegold is required. Staying in Tier 1 gives you the best value for your Truegold. There's also an important bonus: The first refinement of ea...

• In Tier 1, your first daily refinement costs 10 Truegold instead of 20
• In Tier 2, your first daily refinement costs 25 Truegold instead of 50

Optimal Weekly Strategy

The most efficient strategy is: By doing all Tier 1 refinements on Monday and then staying in Tier 2 for the rest of the week, you get the best overall return for your Truegold spent

• Every Monday, when tiers reset:
• Do all 20 Tier 1 refinements immediately
• After that, you enter Tier 2
• For the rest of the week:
• Do only 1 refinement per day
• Take advantage of the half-cost daily refinement in Tier 2
