Kingshot server age, kingdom age, and state age all refer to the number of days since a kingdom opened. The most reliable estimate is the Beast Hunting Monument completion date minus six days. You can then cross-check the result against your hero generation, pet generation, Truegold level, and other unlocked features.
Kingshot server age controls when major heroes, pets, buildings, events, Truegold levels, and research systems become available.
Your personal Town Center level cannot force a server-wide feature to appear early. For example, reaching Town Center Level 30 does not unlock Truegold before the kingdom enters the Age of Truegold. Similarly, a player cannot unlock Gen 5, Gen 6, or Gen 7 heroes before the appropriate kingdom-age window.
Knowing your server timeline helps you prepare Gems, hero shards, pet materials, speedups, Truegold, and research resources before the next power spike arrives.
This guide explains how to check your Kingshot server age, calculate the estimated opening date, understand every major timeline milestone, and prepare for upcoming hero generations, pets, Truegold levels, War Academy, and late-game progression.
How to Check Your Kingshot Server Age
Kingshot does not always display one exact server-age number. Instead, you can estimate it through several in-game clues.
Use more than one method whenever possible because account age and server age are not always the same.
Method 1: Use the Beast Hunting Monument Date
The Beast Hunting achievement is generally the best starting point because it records early kingdom progression rather than your personal login history.
- Open the Monument in your Outer City.
- Find the achievement named Beast Hunting.
- Record the completion date shown in the Monument.
- Subtract six calendar days from that date.
- Use the resulting date as the estimated kingdom opening date.
- Calculate the number of days between that date and today.
Server-age formula:
Estimated kingdom opening date = Beast Hunting completion date − 6 days
Example calculation
Suppose Beast Hunting was completed on April 20:
- April 20 minus six days gives an estimated opening date of April 14.
- If today is May 14, approximately 30 days have passed.
- The kingdom is therefore around Server Day 30.
This method remains an estimate. Completion timing may differ slightly when early kingdom objectives progress unusually quickly or slowly.
Method 2: Check Your VIP Login Days
Open the VIP interface and check your consecutive or total login count.
Your VIP login days can closely match the kingdom age when all three conditions are true:
- You created the account on the kingdom’s opening day.
- You remained in the same kingdom.
- You logged in every day without missing a reset.
For example, a launch-day player showing 80 login days is probably in a kingdom close to Day 80.
However, this method becomes inaccurate when:
- You joined the kingdom after it opened.
- You missed one or more login days.
- You stopped playing and later returned.
- The account moved through Kingdom Transfer.
- You purchased or inherited an older character.
VIP login days measure account activity. They do not independently prove the exact kingdom opening date.
Method 3: Compare Unlocked Features
Your available content can narrow the kingdom-age range.
| Visible Feature | Likely Minimum Kingdom Age | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|
| Gen 2 heroes | Approximately Day 40–50 | The kingdom has passed the first hero-generation change |
| Generation 1 pets | Approximately Day 55–60 | The first Pet generation is active |
| Age of Truegold | Approximately Day 70 | Eligible buildings can begin progressing beyond Level 30 |
| Gen 4 heroes | Approximately Day 190–200 | The kingdom has entered advanced hero progression |
| War Academy | Approximately Day 220 | Advanced troop research and the T11 path are available |
| Gen 7 heroes | Approximately Day 440 | Ava, Charles, and Wee & Woo are available |
Method 4: Check Alliance Records
Long-term alliance members may have records from the kingdom’s first days, including:
- Alliance creation dates
- First Bear Hunt screenshots
- First Castle Battle announcements
- Kingdom launch messages
- Early Monument completion dates
- Archived event screenshots
These records are helpful when your own account joined late or moved into the kingdom.
Can the server number reveal its age?
Not reliably. A higher kingdom number is normally newer than a much lower number, but server numbers do not provide an exact age calculation.
The rate at which new kingdoms open can change. Therefore, you should not assume that Kingdom 1300 is a specific number of days old based only on its number.
Kingshot Server Age Calculator
You can calculate an estimated server age manually once you know the likely opening date.
Step 1: Find the Beast Hunting completion date.
Step 2: Subtract six days to estimate the kingdom opening date.
Step 3: Count the days from the opening date to today.
Step 4: Cross-check the result against your current hero, pet, Truegold, and building milestones.
Use the UTC calendar date when a server reset occurs during the calculation. Many daily Kingshot tasks and events reset at 00:00 UTC, although individual battle phases and special events can start at other times.
Kingshot Server Timeline and Unlock Days
The following timeline uses approximate kingdom-age windows. Some shared progression milestones may open slightly earlier or later.
Important: Use the timeline for preparation, not as a guaranteed official calendar. Always confirm the next unlock through the Monument, Kingdom Progression screen, Event Center, Beast Cage, Hero interface, or building menu.
| Server Age | Major Unlock | What Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Generation 1 heroes | The starting hero roster and early kingdom progression begin |

| Around Day 491 | Truegold Level 10, community-tracked estimate | The highest current Truegold building tier may become available; verify through the live progression screen |
Kingshot Hero Generation Timeline
Hero generations are among the most important server-age milestones because newer generations usually provide higher base Expedition statistics and new role options.
| Generation | Approximate Server Age | Heroes |
|---|---|---|
| Gen 1 | Day 0 | Saul, Helga, Jabel, Amadeus |
| Gen 2 | Days 40–50 | Hilde, Zoe, Marlin |
| Gen 3 | Days 105–120 | Eric, Petra, Jaeger |
| Gen 4 | Days 190–200 | Alcar, Margot, Rosa |
| Gen 5 | Days 270–280 | Long Fei, Thrud, Vivian |
| Gen 6 | Days 350–360 | Triton, Sophia, Yang |
| Gen 7 | Around Day 440 | Charles, Ava, Wee & Woo |
How to prepare for the next hero generation
- Save Gems before the next Hero Roulette generation.
- Keep General Hero Shards for a confirmed long-term target.
- Do not spend every Mark of Valor immediately before a generation change.
- Save Hero Gear, Skill Books, and Widget materials.
- Review whether your current hero remains valuable in rallies, garrisons, Arena, or secondary marches.
- Avoid replacing a highly developed hero with a low-star new hero too early.
For the current Roulette hero cycle, Gem costs, milestones, and eligible previous-generation choices, read the Kingshot Hero Roulette guide.
Kingshot Pet Generation Timeline
| Pet Generation | Approximate Server Age | Pets |
|---|---|---|
| Gen 1 | Days 55–60 | Gray Wolf, Lynx, Bison |
| Gen 2 | Days 75–80 | Cheetah, Moose |
| Gen 3 | Days 105–110 | Lion, Grizzly Bear |
| Gen 4 | Days 190–200 | Giant Rhino, Mighty Bison |
| Gen 5 | Days 270–280 | Great Moose, Alpha Black Panther |
| Gen 6 | Days 350–360 | Regal White Lion, Ironclad War Elephant |
| Gen 7 | Around Day 440 | Ironclad War Bear |
How to prepare for later pets
Pet Food, Growth Manuals, Nutrient Potions, Promotion Medallions, and Taming Marks remain limited for many accounts.
Instead of leveling every early pet equally:
- Develop early pets enough to unlock their useful active skill.
- Check prerequisites for the next pet generation.
- Save advancement materials before an important combat pet arrives.
- Prioritize pets that match your rally, garrison, PvP, or growth role.
- Avoid using every Promotion Medallion on a low-priority pet.
Truegold and War Academy Timeline
Truegold building progression and War Academy research are related, but they are not the same system.
| Milestone | Approximate Server Age | Main Progression |
|---|---|---|
| Age of Truegold | Around Day 70 | Eligible Level 30 buildings begin Truegold upgrades |
| Truegold Level 5 and Crucible | Around Day 150 | TG5 progression and expanded Truegold refinement become available |
| War Academy | Around Day 220 | Truegold Dust research and T11 troop development begin |
| Truegold Level 8 | Days 310–320 | Tempered Truegold becomes a major building resource |
| Truegold Level 10 | Community tracking places it near Day 491 | The current highest Truegold building tier becomes available |
What about Advanced Truegold Research?
Advanced Truegold Research is part of late-game War Academy progression. However, its exact universal kingdom-age unlock is not consistently documented.
Check the following before planning an exact date:
- Your War Academy level
- Your kingdom’s current Truegold cap
- The visible Advanced Research tab
- Required prerequisite technologies
- The current Kingdom Progression stage
Do not assume Advanced Truegold Research unlocks automatically on the same day as Gen 7 or TG10 unless the live War Academy confirms it.
Server Age and Kingdom Transfer
Kingdom Transfer does not use server age alone.
The destination kingdom generally needs to match your current:
- Hero generation
- Truegold level
- Transfer group and eligibility rules
Character-age restrictions may also apply. Therefore, two kingdoms with similar opening dates are not automatically valid transfer partners.
After transferring, your VIP login days still reflect your account history. They no longer provide a reliable estimate of the destination kingdom’s age.
Best Progression Plan by Server Age
Server Day 0–60
Prioritize rapid account development:
- Push the Town Center and required supporting buildings.
- Join an active alliance.
- Complete Bear Hunt and early alliance events.
- Prepare for Gen 2 heroes.
- Save basic pet materials before the first pet generation.
- Build reliable gathering and resource-production routines.
Server Day 60–120
Begin planning around timed server unlocks:
- Prepare Town Center Level 30 for Truegold progression.
- Save Gems before Gen 3 heroes.
- Develop Gen 1 and Gen 2 pets selectively.
- Prepare for Kingdom of Power.
- Avoid overspending on heroes that the next generation will replace.
Server Day 120–220
Shift toward advanced account systems:
- Build Truegold levels efficiently.
- Prepare for the Gen 4 hero and pet window.
- Collect Governor Gear materials.
- Save Gold and Truegold for later War Academy exchanges.
- Begin planning one T11 troop path.
Server Day 220–320
War Academy and Gen 5 become the main priorities:
- Choose one T11 troop type before spreading Truegold Dust.
- Prepare shards and Gems for Gen 5.
- Save pet materials for Great Moose or Alpha Black Panther.
- Plan ahead for Tempered Truegold.
- Coordinate major upgrades with scoring events.
Server Day 320–440
Focus on specialization:
- Develop Gen 6 heroes according to rally, garrison, or F2P needs.
- Prioritize the strongest pets for your role.
- Continue War Academy research.
- Build Tempered Truegold stockpiles.
- Prepare for the Gen 7 power increase.
Server Day 440 and Beyond
Late-game progression rewards focused accounts:
- Compare Gen 7 heroes against your existing Gen 6 roster.
- Prepare for Ironclad War Bear development.
- Continue T11 and Advanced Truegold Research.
- Plan toward TG10 only after confirming the live progression gate.
- Avoid replacing highly developed heroes solely because a newer generation exists.
Joining an established kingdom can mean facing large gaps in heroes, pets, Truegold, research, Governor Gear, and troop tiers. Players comparing normal progression with an existing late-game roster can review a verified Kingshot account for sale while checking kingdom generation, Truegold tier, transfer eligibility, heroes, pets, and War Academy progress.
New Server vs Older Server
| Server Type | Advantages | Challenges |
|---|---|---|
| New kingdom | More equal starting point, early alliance-building opportunities, complete event progression | Fewer unlocked systems and a long wait for later generations |
| Older kingdom | More heroes, pets, Truegold levels, events, and advanced research | Large catch-up gap in power, Gear, pets, research, and troop tiers |
A new kingdom is usually better for players who want to compete from launch. An older kingdom may suit players joining friends or an established alliance, but catching up requires careful planning.
Common Server Timeline Mistakes
Treating account age as server age
Your account may have been created days or months after the kingdom opened.
Using VIP days without checking missed logins
Every missed day makes the VIP count lower than the actual kingdom age.
Assuming every unlock happens on one exact day
Many milestones use a range because kingdom progression and event schedules can differ.
Spending immediately before a hero generation
Using every Gem or General Hero Shard shortly before a new generation can delay access to a stronger hero.
Ignoring future pet prerequisites
Overdeveloping one early pet can leave insufficient materials for the next required pet.
Waiting until War Academy appears
Gold, Truegold, speedups, and resources should be prepared before the expected Day 220 window.
Treating TG10 Day 491 as guaranteed
Day 491 is a community-tracked estimate. Confirm the actual cap through your live kingdom progression and building interface.
Using the kingdom number as an exact calculator
Server numbers provide only a rough relative order. They do not reveal the precise opening date.
FAQ
How do I check my Kingshot server age?
Find the Beast Hunting Monument completion date and subtract six days to estimate the kingdom opening date. Then compare the result with VIP login days and your current unlocked features.
Is Kingshot server age the same as kingdom age?
Yes. Server age, kingdom age, and state age normally refer to the number of days since the kingdom opened.
Is VIP login count the same as server age?
Only when you joined on launch day and never missed a login. Otherwise, VIP days usually underestimate the real server age.
When do Gen 2 heroes unlock?
Generation 2 heroes usually appear between Server Day 40 and Day 50.
When does Truegold unlock?
The Age of Truegold normally begins around Server Day 70. Your account also needs the required building levels to use it.
When does War Academy unlock?
War Academy is currently tracked around Server Day 220. It opens advanced Truegold Dust research and the path toward T11 troops.
When does TG10 unlock?
Community tracking commonly places Truegold Level 10 near Server Day 491. Treat that date as an estimate and verify the actual unlock through the live building interface.
What time does the Kingshot server reset?
Many daily tasks and events reset at 00:00 UTC. However, special event phases may begin at different UTC times, so always check the Event Center countdown.
Conclusion
The Kingshot server age timeline controls when major heroes, pets, Truegold levels, Castle Battle, Kingdom of Power, War Academy, and late-game systems become available.
For the best server-age estimate, find the Beast Hunting Monument completion date and subtract six days. Next, compare that result with VIP login days and visible progression milestones.
Use server age as a planning tool rather than a guaranteed calendar. Hero and pet generations usually follow predictable windows, but Monument progress, event scheduling, and kingdom development can shift certain dates.
Prepare before each milestone. Save Gems before hero generations, reserve pet materials before new pets, build Truegold resources before new tiers, and begin preparing Gold and Truegold Dust before War Academy appears.
