The Forge in Clash of Clans is primarily used to convert surplus resources from your Home Village and Builder Base into Capital Gold, an essential currency for developing your Clan Capital. This feature becomes available once your Home Village reaches Town Hall 6.
The Core Function: Creating Capital Gold
The main purpose of the Forge is to provide a continuous supply of Capital Gold, which is crucial for clan progression. By investing your accumulated resources, you actively contribute to the growth and development of your clan's shared capital.
-
Resource Conversion: The Forge takes in various resources from your villages and transforms them into Capital Gold. These include:
- Home Village Resources: Gold, Elixir, and Dark Elixir.
- Builder Base Resources: Builder Gold and Builder Elixir.
-
Why Capital Gold Matters: Capital Gold is the exclusive currency used to Contribute to Buildings in the Clan Capital. Every contribution helps to upgrade defenses, offensive structures, and utility buildings in your clan's shared base, making your entire clan stronger and unlocking new benefits.

Unlocking and Accessing the Forge
The Forge is not immediately available. You must first upgrade your Home Village to Town Hall 6. Once unlocked, it appears as a distinct building in your Home Village, ready to begin its resource-converting operations.
Maximizing Capital Gold Production
To get the most out of your Forge, consider these strategies:
- Daily Free Capital Gold: The first conversion slot in the Forge is special because it generates a set amount of free Capital Gold every 24 hours. This passive income is an effortless way to boost your clan's capital efforts daily.
- Strategic Resource Allocation: Prioritize converting resources you have in abundance or those nearing their storage capacity. This prevents resource waste and ensures a steady flow of Capital Gold.
- Unlocking Additional Slots: While the first slot is always available, you can unlock additional conversion slots using Gems, allowing you to convert more resources simultaneously and accelerate your Capital Gold production.
- Timing Your Conversions: Consider initiating longer conversion tasks before you go offline, ensuring the Forge is always working for your clan.
Benefits of Utilizing the Forge
Actively using the Forge offers several significant advantages for both individual players and the entire clan:
- Accelerated Clan Capital Development: Your contributions directly impact the speed at which your clan capital grows, unlocking stronger defenses and powerful offensive capabilities for all clan members.
- Efficient Resource Management: It provides a valuable outlet for excess resources that might otherwise go to waste, especially when your storages are full.
- Passive Income Stream: The daily free Capital Gold generation provides a consistent, no-cost contribution to your clan's shared progress.
- Engaging Clan Activity: It integrates individual resource management with collective clan goals, fostering a sense of community and shared achievement.
The Forge is a cornerstone of clan progression in Clash of Clans, turning your personal resource gains into collective strength for your Clan Capital.
