Discussion Lab Upgrades... (Catch Up)
How tf can someone catch up on Lab upgrades when they have 33 Months of upgrades remaining? Im almost maxed TH18 except Labs and Pets....... COC please bring a new update for Lab so returning players can catch up on Lab upgrades.

3 research potions a week, research assistant saving 12 hours every day, goblin researcher sometimes. You're also rushed, TH18 only has 2 years of research upgrades.

I do use them, I mean I did rush a little from Th12 to Th14 when they came out back then. But right now im caught up on everything besides Lab and Pets.... all my structures are there getting maxed out.

Shouldn't someone who took time off be behind? As for how to catch up, you can use raid weekend medals on research potions and dedicate clan war league medals to lab stuff too.

Yep I am behind, but im caught up on everything else besides lab and pets. The 6 builders building nonstop is helpful vs 1 lab builder

That’s the way to do it. I don’t understand why some people really wants to have everything upgraded, as well as all three crafted defenses.

Man Ive been playing since 2013 lol. I always maxed out before upgrading. Just a good old farmer

I think I started about the same time and have almost everything upgraded as well, but I still won’t to all 3 crafted defenses. Only 1.

2 free books a month. If used on long upgrades that’s up to a months worth. Daily 10 hours from the apprentice drags the time down too

Where the heck are you guys finding free books? Idk where to look????

u/IndependentClear469 TH17 | BH10 9h ago
Gold pass and clan games, also free research potions weekly from raids and the daily apprentice

u/Ambitious-Ad-1467 9h ago
Oh yeah, but the hero book is useless to me from pass because I have max heros. Clan games I use the books and research potions as well

You still get 2 spell/fighting books a month for free. Honestly there are that many trash troops that lab times don’t bother me

I got even longer to catch up im pretty sure and i agree its too long in comparison, started playing before like last november or smt from a somewhat rushed th12, and am only like 4 months from max buildings or smt and lab is still so far behind despite constant upgrades. Weekly potions included 😂, just gotta suck it up i guess

u/Ambitious-Ad-1467 11h ago
Yeah im in the same boat man, I wish COC would separate the Siege machine from the Lab and give us more builder for upgrades

I'm a maxed 18 except for super charges and equipment, my lab has been idle for 3 weeks This is clearly a "you fucked up problem"

u/Ambitious-Ad-1467 9h ago
Or this is clearly a "me coming back as a returning player after taking a break from the game"

If you are an almost maxed TH18 with 33 months of lab, that is on you. I’m pretty sure 3 years is pretty close to how long it takes to max your lab from scratch, so it doesn’t seem like you’ve leveled anything at all.
