The Trader Guide & Trader Deal Cycle | TEC Clashzz - TEC Clashzz

Here I have an overview of all deals you can get from the Trader including my recommendation what deals are worth it and which ones are not – plus the full cycle so you know what your next Trader deals will be.

The Trader is the freshest spawn in your Clash of Clans village and he offers daily deals – with deals it’s always the same, they can be rather good or bad so I did take all the deals the Trader offers and tell you which ones you should get and which ones you shouldn’t take plus in what situations a deal becomes a good deal for you.

The Trader General Info

The Trader does do exactly two things – selling magical items for Gems and from time to time also giving away a free magical item for you. After the June 2018 Update, the Trader also offers Runes! You will also find an updated version of the full deal cycle below.

The first thing you should make sure is to check the deals every day, so you don’t miss the free item when it becomes available.

All deals in there are completely random, also the free magical items – there’s no global list of deals so checking daily is important to not miss anything

Another important thing to know is that magical items you get from the Trader are not exceeding your limit in the Clan Castle like magical items from events & Value Packs do.

Trader Deal Cycle

The deals you see at the Trader follow a fixed 40-day-cycle so you can plan ahead when you know what deals will show up in the future.

Please note: The free Training Potions are not in a 7-day schedule anymore (e.g. you always had it Tuesdays, so you could just remember it)

As every rune is only appearing once within every cycle, you can easily find where you are in the cycle once you see a rune appearing at the trader in your village.

Trader Prices

Now I’ve been wrapping up all prices and also give you advice which deals are good and which ones aren’t.

Resource Potion (115 Gems)

When boosting all your collectors manually, you would pay (depending on the number of available ones per Town Hall Level):

Town Hall 10-12: 230 Gems
Town Hall 9: 200 Gems
Town Hall 8: 180 Gems
Town Hall 7: 150 Gems
Town Hall 6 & lower: 120 Gems & less

As you can see, this deal is getting better & better the higher your Town Hall Level is – well, as long as you have all the collectors available at your Town Hall Level. When looking above, you see why it makes sense that the Trader is not available before Town Hall 8…

Actually, you should never buy resources with Gems as this is the worst value, so I don’t compare the boosted price now to the price when buying the resources with Gems – but I will give you how much you will get from the boost (maxed out collectors):

TH 10 & 11: 706k Gold & Elixir + 7,200 Dark Elixir
TH 9: 706k Gold & Elixir + 4,800 Dark Elixir
TH 8: 605k Gold & Elixir + 1,160 Dark Elixir

When looking at these numbers, you can see that the Training Potion itself doesn’t offer that much value except for TH10+ with the Dark Elixir.

Check your recent logs and you see how many raids you need to make that much resources and you will see that the Training Potion makes a lot more sense to you, especially when you’re lower than Town Hall 10.

This makes it an OK DEAL FOR TH10+ (IF YOU DON’T RAID MUCH YOURSELF)

Power Potion (300 Gems)

Getting maxed troops for 1 hour for 300 Gems… I don’t even think I need to say anything here. The Power Potion itself wasn't that much use anyway (except for some extreme engineers), but paying 300 Gems for it makes it a no-brainer.

This makes it A REALLY BAD DEAL

Builder Potion (285 Gems)

The Builder Potion will give your Builders 10 times the speed for 1 hour – so every Builder will finish an upgrade 9 hours earlier (10 hours boost minus the 1 hour it’s running).

If you gem upgrade times, you will pay 103 Gems for 9 hours, It’s only 367 Gems for 45 hours, but I can’t use this because the Builder Potion only makes every Builder 9 hours faster.

Now looking at the number of busy Builders, you will have:

1 Builder: 103 Gems
2 Builder: 206 Gems
3 Builder: 309 Gems
4 Builder: 412 Gems
5 Builder: 515 Gems

You see that the Builder Potion is only having a positive effect if you have more than 3 Builders busy with upgrades that will run for longer than 10 hours.

This makes it A GOOD DEAL FOR 4+ BUSY BUILDERS.

Training Potion (25 Gems)

One hour of boosting for 25 Gems, sounds like a good deal? Let’s see how much boosting costs depending on the amount of Barracks, Spell Factories & Heroes:

Town Hall 11 & 12: 55 Gems
Town Hall 9 &10: 50 Gems
Town Hall 8: 45 Gems
Town Hall 7: 35 Gems

Boosting your army for one hour is the best value you can get for Gems as it allows you to make at least 5-6 attacks that will give you a huge reward.

This makes it A NICE DEAL FOR ALL TOWN HALLS that can use the Trader!

Clock Tower Potion (only free)

The Clock Tower Potion is not available to purchase with Gems, the only way to get it outside of events or Clan Games is by getting it in the free cycles (s. above).

I recommend you to get it, especially in Clan Games it is very valuable when you have the 30 minutes boost you can do plenty of the 1-hour tasks that give a ton of points.

Book of Heroes (500 Gems)

The Trader also offers the Book of Heroes for 500 Gems, so it’s 50% the price of skipping the hero upgrade of 7 days which costs 999 Gems.

Especially if you’re going to war a lot, consider having a Book of Heroes at your availability since we only get them every 2 Clan Games.

Looking over to the Builder Base, where you can use the BoH as well, you can save some Gems:

Battle Machine LVL 10+: 750 Gems
Battle Machine LVL 20+: 1000 Gems

This makes this A SWEET DEAL FOR EVERYONE when using it in your Home Village or Battle Machine Lvl 10+!

Book of Spells, Fighting, Building (925 Gems)

The other Books, except the Book of Everything, will cost 925 Gems and can be a good deal or not – let’s have a look at the costs skipping an upgrade depending on the time:

Home Village:

14 days: 1863 Gems
13 days: 1740 Gems
12 days: 1616 Gems
11 days: 1493 Gems
10 days: 1370 Gems
9 days: 1246 Gems
8 days: 1123 Gems
7 days: 1000 Gems
6 days 9 hours 35 minutes: 925 Gems

Builder Base:

6 days: 1750 Gems
5 days: 1500 Gems
4 days: 1250 Gems
3 days: 1000 Gems
2 days 16 hours 53 minutes: 925 Gems

As you can see, the Books are expensive, but can still save you a ton of Gems if you have the Gems to skip upgrade times.

It’s a SOLID DEAL if you’re spending gems to skip upgrades or have tons of loot during boost times, however, it’s still pretty expensive.

Ring of Walls (100 Gems)

Depending on what walls you upgrade, you will need more or fewer Rings to do it. After the June 2018 Update, the prices and value of the Wall Rings drastically changed:

Home Village:

Wall Level 1-10: 1 Rings
Wall Level 11: 2 Rings
Wall Level 12: 4 Rings
Wall Level 13: 5 Rings

Builder Base:

Wall Level 1-4: 1 Ring
Wall Level 5: 2 Rings
Wall Level 6: 4 Rings
Wall Level 7: 6 Rings
Wall Level 8: 8 Rings

If you translate it, it’s 1 million Gold/Elixir worth for a ring.

In my opinion, this makes it still a BAD DEAL as you can use the Training Potion to farm the Gold easily and the walls in the Builder Base are not that powerful to waste Gems for it anyway. With the 100 Gems I can get 4 Training Potions and farm 4 hours straight that will reward me with at least 10x as much loot as the single Wall Ring offers.

Runes

With the June 2018 Update, the Trader also offers Runes:

Rune of Home Village Gold/Elixir: 1,400 Gems
Rune of Builder Gold/Elixir: 1,500 Gems
Rune of Dark Elixir is not available at the Trader

If you take a look that filling them up with Gems for 3,867 Gems, that’s a nice discount but still quite expensive – the deal is an OK DEAL simply because the discount is high but only worth for those who don’t farm frequently. With several attacks every day, you can have your Builders busy all the time easily.

I personally only store Runes only along with a book to skip a critical upgrade – for example upgrading my Eagle Artillery I save up the Gold for the upgrade and start the upgrade, use the book to skip the upgrade and then use the Rune of Gold to make the next upgrade so I have no downtime in Builder and no painful time while the Eagle Artillery is upgrading
