Blacksmith is one of the most important buildings in Clash of Clans.
Currently, there are nine levels available for this building.
It is quite common for players to forget about the upgrade cost of Blacksmith 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 Blacksmith 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!
Blacksmith 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 Blacksmith in the game:
| Blacksmith Level | Upgrade Cost (elixir) | Upgrade Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 600,000 | 12 hours |
| 1 to 2 | 1,200,000 | 1 day |
| 2 to 3 | 2,300,000 | 2 days |
| 3 to 4 | 3,000,000 | 3 days |
| 4 to 5 | 5,000,000 | 4 days |
| 5 to 6 | 6,200,000 | 5 days |
| 6 to 7 | 9,200,000 | 7 days |
| 7 to 8 | 10,000,000 | 7 days 6 hours |
| 8 to 9 | 11,000,000 | 8 days |
The data in the above table can be interpreted as:
- You'll require 600,000 elixir to build a level 1 Blacksmith. It will be built in 12 hours.
- To upgrade a level 1 Blacksmith to level 2, you'll need 1,200,000 elixir. The upgrade gets completed in 1 day.
- Upgrading a level 2 Blacksmith to level 3 requires 2,300,000 elixir. And, the upgrade takes 2 days to complete.
- To upgrade a Blacksmith from level 3 to level 4, you'll require 3,000,000 elixir. The upgrade will take 3 days to complete.
- Upgrading a Blacksmith from level 4 to level 5 will require 5,000,000 elixir. And, the upgrade gets completed in 4 days.
- To upgrade a Blacksmith from level 5 to level 6, you'll require 6,200,000 elixir. The upgrade will take 5 days to complete.
- Upgrading a Blacksmith from level 6 to level 7 requires 9,200,000 elixir. And, the upgrade gets completed in 7 days.
- To upgrade a Blacksmith from level 7 to level 8, you'll require 10,000,000 elixir. The upgrade will take 7 days 6 hours to complete.

Conclusion

Now, I'd like to hear from you:
Have you already maxed out the Blacksmith in your base? If not, what's the current level of the Blacksmith?
Or, you might have a question.
