How long does it take to max Town Hall 8, and what does it cost?
If your TH7 village is fully maxed, maxing Town Hall 8 takes (raw time, no discounts): 53.1 days of builder work, 17 days in the laboratory. These queues run in parallel, and the longest one decides the finish. The Town Hall upgrade itself (1 day, 2 M Gold) is not included in these totals. Walls need 22.7 M gold or elixir on top.
Time summary (per queue)
| Queue | Raw time | With Gold Pass (20%) | Estimated real time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builders (buildings, defenses, traps, heroes) | 53.1 days | 42.5 days | 7.1 days6 builders, best case |
| Laboratory (troops, spells, siege) | 17 days | 13.6 days | 13.6 dayssingle queue |
The longest queue decides the finish: about 13.6 days with Gold Pass and 6 builders. In practice work is never split perfectly between builders, so it can take longer.
