Kingshot Tempered Truegold Guide: Super Refinement & Costs

Kingshot Tempered Truegold becomes a major late-game bottleneck once your Kingdom moves beyond completed TG5 into the TG6–TG8 building stages.

Unlike regular Truegold, Tempered Truegold is produced mainly through Super Refinement, where normal Truegold is converted into a randomized amount of the advanced material. Because the cost rises as your weekly refinement count increases, converting too aggressively can leave you short of the regular Truegold still required for the building upgrade itself.

This guide focuses specifically on Tempered Truegold, Super Refinement, weekly limits, and late-game costs. For the complete TG1–TG8 progression, normal Truegold sources, and overall building order, use the Kingshot Truegold Upgrade Guide.

What Is Tempered Truegold in Kingshot?

Tempered Truegold, often shortened to TTG, is an advanced version of regular Truegold used during later building progression.

The important distinction is that it does not replace normal Truegold. TG6–TG8 upgrades require both resources at the same time.

This distinction matters because spending ordinary Truegold on Super Refinement reduces the same Truegold balance needed for your building upgrades.

When Does Tempered Truegold Unlock?

The Truegold system develops in several stages.

The Truegold Crucible appears much earlier, around the TG5 stage of Kingdom progression. At that point, its normal refinement system helps produce regular Truegold from basic resources.

Tempered Truegold and Super Refinement belong to the later progression phase. They become relevant when the Kingdom opens the advanced TG6–TG8 progression, commonly around the later TG8-era milestone near Kingdom Days 310–320.

Kingdom timing can vary, so use your live Truegold Crucible and building interfaces as the final confirmation.

How to Get Tempered Truegold

Super Refinement

Super Refinement in the Truegold Crucible is the main repeatable source of Tempered Truegold.

Instead of using Bread, Wood, Stone, and Iron like normal Crucible refinement, Super Refinement consumes regular Truegold and returns a randomized amount of Tempered Truegold.

The major limitation is that your conversion cost increases as you complete more Super Refinements during the same week.

Golden Glaives and Other Event Rewards

Tempered Truegold can also appear through Golden Glaives and other relevant late-game reward sources when they are active.

These should be treated as supplemental income rather than the foundation of your TTG plan. Event rewards can change, while Super Refinement is the system you can plan around consistently.

How Super Refinement Works

You can complete a maximum of 100 Super Refinements per week. The counter resets every Monday and returns you to Tier 1.

Each tier contains 20 refinements:

The TTG reward is randomized inside the displayed range. Reaching Tier 5 does not mean every 160 Truegold conversion will produce 12 Tempered Truegold.

Daily 50% Super Refinement Discount

Your first Super Refinement each day costs 50% less regular Truegold.

That means the first daily conversion costs:

• Tier 1: 10 Truegold instead of 20
• Tier 2: 25 instead of 50
• Tier 3: 50 instead of 100
• Tier 4: 65 instead of 130
• Tier 5: 80 instead of 160

This discount is the main reason efficient players spread some refinements across several days instead of performing every conversion immediately.

Best Super Refinement Strategy

Balanced Strategy: 26 Refinements per Week

For most players, the strongest balance between Truegold cost and TTG production is:

1. Complete all 20 Tier 1 refinements on Monday.
2. Use the Monday daily discount on the first attempt.
3. From Tuesday through Sunday, complete exactly one Tier 2 refinement per day.
4. Each of those six Tier 2 attempts receives the daily 50% discount.

This creates 26 weekly refinements.

The total regular Truegold cost is approximately 540 Truegold:

• Monday Tier 1: 10 + 19 × 20 = 390 Truegold
• Tuesday–Sunday: 6 × 25 = 150 Truegold
• Total: 540 Truegold

Based on the displayed reward ranges, those 26 refinements can produce between 32 and 78 Tempered Truegold, although actual results depend on RNG.

Low-Budget Strategy

If regular Truegold remains your larger bottleneck, use only the first discounted refinement each day.

This gives much slower TTG production but preserves considerably more Truegold for buildings. It can make sense for F2P players who are not rushing TG6–TG8 immediately.

Fast-Progress Strategy

Players with a large Truegold reserve can push into Tier 3, Tier 4, or Tier 5 for more TTG in the same week.

However, efficiency drops sharply. Higher tiers are mainly justified when a specific building or event milestone is valuable enough to warrant the additional cost.

Kingshot TG5–TG8 Truegold and Tempered Truegold Costs

Each Truegold tier contains five individual building stages. The table below shows the combined cost for completing all five stages of each building at TG5, TG6, TG7, and TG8.

TG5 is included to show exactly where the transition occurs: TG5 uses regular Truegold only, while TG6–TG8 add Tempered Truegold.

Across TG6–TG8, completing the seven original core buildings requires 788 Tempered Truegold.

If you also include War Academy building progression, the TG6–TG8 requirement becomes 904 Tempered Truegold. From TG5 through TG8, all eight listed buildings consume 16,317 regular Truegold in addition to that TTG requirement.

The broader Truegold Upgrade Guide owns the complete TG1–TG8 cost progression and prerequisite strategy, so earlier tiers are not repeated here.

What Should You Spend Tempered Truegold On First?

Tempered Truegold is limited enough that upgrading every available building evenly is rarely the best approach.

1. Town Center Progression

Keep the Town Center path as the first consideration because higher TG tiers control access to further building progression.

2. Required Prerequisite Buildings

Do not spend your TTG reserve on optional structures if an Embassy or troop-building requirement will block the next Town Center stage.

For exact Town Center prerequisites, use the Kingshot Town Center Upgrade Guide rather than rebuilding the prerequisite table here.

3. Your Main Troop Building

After required progression buildings, prioritize the Barracks, Range, or Stable connected to the troop type that matters most to your primary formation.

4. Command Center

Command Center upgrades become particularly valuable for active rally leaders because they support larger rally and deployment progression.

5. War Academy

Late-game War Academy progression can become another meaningful TTG sink. If advanced research is one of your account goals, do not calculate your TTG reserve only around the original seven buildings.

6. Infirmary and Secondary Buildings

Upgrade these according to your account role once the buildings that directly gate progression or strengthen your main formation are covered.

How to Manage Truegold Before Super Refinement

The most common TTG planning error is focusing only on how much Tempered Truegold you need.

Every Super Refinement consumes regular Truegold, yet your TG6–TG8 buildings still require regular Truegold too.

Before converting, calculate:

• The TTG needed for your next building stage.
• The regular Truegold required by the same upgrade.
• The Truegold needed for prerequisite buildings afterward.
• Whether War Academy progression also needs part of your reserve.
• Whether an upcoming event rewards the upgrade you are planning.

Keep enough regular Truegold outside your refinement budget to actually complete the upgrade once the TTG target is reached.

Best Time to Use Tempered Truegold

If an important upgrade is not urgent, saving the final building stage for a progression event can improve the return on resources you already intended to spend.

Tempered Truegold can score strongly during relevant Armament Competition rotations. Therefore, players with flexible timing should check the Kingshot Armament Competition Guide before completing a large late-game building push.

However, do not delay a major progression unlock for weeks merely to gain a small event reward. Permanent progression should remain the primary reason for spending TTG.

Common Tempered Truegold Mistakes

Thinking TG5 Requires Tempered Truegold

TG5 itself uses regular Truegold. Tempered Truegold is added when progressing beyond completed TG5 into TG6–TG8.

Confusing the Crucible Unlock with Super Refinement

The Truegold Crucible appears earlier in Kingdom progression. Tempered Truegold and Super Refinement belong to the later advanced Truegold phase.

Using All 100 Weekly Refinements Automatically

The higher tiers become extremely expensive. The weekly maximum is not a recommended weekly quota.

Ignoring the Daily Discount

Your first Super Refinement each day costs 50% less Truegold. Spreading some conversions across the week can significantly improve efficiency.

Converting Too Much Regular Truegold

Having enough TTG does not help if your Super Refinements leave you without enough regular Truegold for the building itself.

Budgeting Only for Seven Buildings

The familiar 788 TTG figure covers the seven original core buildings through TG6–TG8. Current War Academy building progression can add another 116 TTG, bringing the wider total to 904.

It is used alongside regular Truegold for advanced TG6–TG8 building progression and can also become relevant to later War Academy systems.

Does TG5 require Tempered Truegold?

No. TG5 uses regular Truegold. Tempered Truegold begins when progressing beyond completed TG5 into TG6.

How do you get Tempered Truegold?

Super Refinement in the Truegold Crucible is the primary repeatable source. Relevant late-game events can provide additional TTG.

How many Super Refinements can you do each week?

The current limit is 100 Super Refinements per week. The count resets every Monday.

What is the best Super Refinement strategy?

A balanced approach is 20 Tier 1 refinements on Monday, followed by one discounted Tier 2 refinement per day from Tuesday through Sunday.

How much Tempered Truegold is needed for TG6–TG8?

The seven original core buildings require 788 TTG across TG6–TG8. Including current War Academy building progression raises the total to 904 TTG.

Conclusion

Kingshot Tempered Truegold is less about farming as much as possible and more about converting regular Truegold efficiently. Use the Monday reset and daily 50% discount to control Super Refinement costs, then keep enough ordinary Truegold reserved for the buildings you actually want to upgrade.

Most players should prioritize Town Center progression, required prerequisite buildings, and their main troop line before spreading TTG across secondary structures.
