Clash Royale Card Gold Cost to be Reduced, Donation Gold Earnings Also Adjusted

Starting Thursday, September 7, Clash Royale players can expect a significant reduction in the cost of purchasing cards. The development team has announced that prices for cards will be lowered, resulting in more affordable card upgrades for players. These adjustments will take effect after a maintenance break. Let's take a closer look at the reduced prices.

In the Clash Royale Shop, players can now find Legendary cards at cheaper prices. Previously, Rare cards cost 100 gold, but they have undergone a substantial 50% reduction, bringing their new cost down to 50 gold. Similarly, Epic cards used to cost players 1000 gold, but they have experienced a significant 80% decrease and are now available for only 200 gold.

In regards to Legendary cards, their price tag of 40,000 gold has now undergone a remarkable 62.5% reduction, making them much more accessible at the new cost of 10,000 gold. Common cards will remain unaffected by these changes and will continue to have a consistent value of 10 gold. These updated card values will also introduce a standardized gold cost for Elite Wild Cards.

Previously, when purchasing a Level 14 card in the shop, it would be directly converted into Elite Wild Cards, but the gold cost for this conversion varied based on the card's rarity. However, with the upcoming changes, any Elite Wild Card obtained through conversion will have a fixed cost of 10 gold, regardless of the original card's rarity.

Furthermore, there are a few adjustments to the gold values for card donations and trades. When players donate rare cards, they will now receive 25 gold in addition to gaining 10 XP and 10 Star Points. Similarly, donating epic cards will yield 100 gold, alongside 10 XP and 10 Star Points.

The cost structure for card trades at Level 14 is as follows:

- Rare Cards: 25 Gold

- Epic Cards: 100 Gold

- Legendary Cards: 7500 Gold

While this change is intended to promote a healthier game environment, there are a few downsides. In order to maintain a balanced distribution of Elite Wild Cards available for direct purchase from the Shop, the frequency at which Legendary cards appear in the Shop will be reduced.
