Army Camp is one of the most important buildings in Clash of Clans.
Currently, there are thirteen levels available for this building.
It is quite common for players to forget about the upgrade cost of Army Camp and their corresponding upgrade time.
To solve that issue, I've come up with this article!
In this article, I've listed the upgrade cost, and upgrade time of Army Camp in Clash of Clans.
I've done all the math required so that you don't have to!
So, without any further ado, let's dive right into it!
Army Camp Upgrade Cost and Upgrade Time in Clash of Clans
I've organized the entire data in a table.
Moreover, to make sure that everything is easy to read and understand, I've also written the data in text in an organized manner.
The following table displays the upgrade cost, and upgrade time of Army Camp in the game:
| Army Camp Level | Upgrade Cost (elixir) | Upgrade Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 200 | 1 minute |
| 1 to 2 | 2,000 | 5 minutes |
| 2 to 3 | 10,000 | 30 minutes |
| 3 to 4 | 100,000 | 2 hours |
| 4 to 5 | 250,000 | 6 hours |
| 5 to 6 | 500,000 | 12 hours |
| 6 to 7 | 1,500,000 | 2 days |
| 7 to 8 | 2,500,000 | 3 days |
| 8 to 9 | 4,200,000 | 4 days |
| 9 to 10 | 4,500,000 | 5 days |
| 10 to 11 | 7,500,000 | 6 days |
| 11 to 12 | 10,000,000 | 7 days |
| 12 to 13 | 21,000,000 | 15 days |
