Do You Lose Treasury Loot When Attacked in Clash of Clans?
The short answer is mostly no, but with a very important exception. Your Treasury in Clash of Clans, located within your Clan Castle, is designed to be a safe haven for your hard-earned loot. Unlike resources stored in your Gold Mines, Elixir Collectors, Dark Elixir Drills, storages, and even your Town Hall, the vast majority of the loot stored in your Treasury is incredibly well-protected from enemy attacks. However, there’s a crucial detail to understand.
While attackers cannot directly target and steal from your Treasury in a typical raid, they can pilfer a small percentage of its contents under one very specific circumstance. If an attacker manages to completely destroy your Clan Castle, a tiny 3% of the loot stored inside your Treasury will be stolen. This makes the Clan Castle, just like the Town Hall, a unique building where resources are vulnerable only upon its complete destruction.
This small percentage makes the Treasury a very safe option to keep your valuable resources. This is compared to other storage locations in your village, where attackers can potentially take a much larger percentage of your loot if they are successful during the attack. Now let’s delve deeper and clarify some of the finer points to dispel confusion and ensure you’re getting the most out of your Treasury.
The Treasury: Your Safe Haven
How the Treasury Works
The Treasury is where you store loot accumulated from Star Bonuses, Clan Games rewards, and other special events. It’s designed to be a secure location, far more resistant to raiding than your resource collectors and storages. The Treasury’s capacity is dependent on your Clan Castle’s level. However, remember that the Clan Castle level itself does not affect how much loot attackers can steal from the Treasury. It’s only the 3% rule upon complete destruction that matters.
The Importance of Understanding Treasury Mechanics
Understanding how the Treasury works allows players to strategically manage their resources. If you know the loot is relatively safe, you can prioritize using resources in your storages for upgrades while keeping some reserves safe within your Treasury. This system also encourages the strategic upgrading of your Clan Castle to increase the total capacity of the Treasury, ensuring the ability to hold a larger sum of resources.
Why the Treasury Is Crucial
The Treasury serves as a crucial mechanism in managing your loot. Unlike other resources that are more vulnerable during an attack, the Treasury provides a safe space to hoard resources and ensures you don’t lose large amounts of resources to an enemy attack. This provides players with more freedom to take breaks without worrying about losing a large amount of their loot.
Understanding Loot Loss Mechanics
How Loot Is Stolen in a Raid
It’s vital to understand that while the Treasury is relatively safe, other areas of your village are significantly more vulnerable. During a raid, attackers can steal:
- Up to 50% of the Elixir and Gold in your collectors.
- 75% of the Dark Elixir in your drills.
- 100% of the Elixir and Gold in your Town Hall.
- 10-20% of Elixir and Gold in your storage containers depending on your Town Hall level.
- 5-10% of loot in your Clan Castle and 4-6% of Dark Elixir in your storages.
These percentages can vary based on your Town Hall level and the attacker’s success, but they demonstrate why it’s important to focus on defensive strategies.
Shield and Village Guard
The best way to prevent loot loss is to avoid being attacked. You can do this through the use of Shields and Village Guards. As long as one of these is active, other players cannot attack you. It’s important to remember, though, that attacking other players will reduce the duration of your Shield.
Strategic Resource Management
Given the different vulnerability percentages, consider your resource management carefully. Try not to keep too many resources in your storages or collectors and keep a healthy amount of resources in your Treasury. This way, you reduce potential loss to attackers and ensure a steady stream of resources for upgrades.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What percentage of Treasury loot can be stolen?
Only 3% of the resources stored in the Treasury can be stolen if the attacker completely destroys the Clan Castle. Otherwise, the resources are safe.
2. Is the Treasury fully protected?
The Treasury is not 100% protected, but it is far more secure than other loot storage locations. Only upon complete destruction of the Clan Castle will the small percentage of loot be lost.
3. Does Clan Castle level affect the percentage of loot stolen from the Treasury?
No, the level of your Clan Castle has absolutely no effect on the percentage of Treasury loot that can be stolen. Only the complete destruction of your Clan Castle, regardless of its level, triggers the 3% loss.
4. Can I lose loot in the Treasury if my Clan Castle isn’t fully destroyed?
No, you will not lose any Treasury loot unless the attacker completely destroys your Clan Castle.
5. What is the safest place to store loot in Clash of Clans?
The Treasury, located within your Clan Castle, is the safest location to store loot due to the high degree of protection it offers.
6. Is it better to keep loot in the Treasury than in storage?
Generally, yes. The Treasury provides the highest degree of protection. It is recommended to keep your valuable loot here to minimize losses from enemy attacks.
7. What happens if my Treasury is full?
If your Treasury is full, you will not receive the Star Bonus. However, you will still receive the loot bonus. Make sure to spend your Treasury loot to make room for any upcoming events where you might earn more resources to maximize rewards.
8. How do I increase my Treasury capacity?
You can increase your Treasury capacity by upgrading your Clan Castle. A higher level Clan Castle allows you to store more loot in the Treasury.
9. Does the attacker’s Town Hall level affect how much loot they can steal from the Treasury?
No, the attacker’s Town Hall level does not affect how much loot they can steal from the Treasury. The amount stolen is always the same (3%) when the Clan Castle is destroyed. The attacker’s Town Hall level can affect the amount of loot taken from other storages.
10. Can I view my stored loot in the Treasury?
Yes, you can view your stored loot by tapping “Treasury” in your Clan Castle. It provides a detailed breakdown of each resource.
11. Should I always collect loot from my loot cart?
Yes, it’s best to collect your loot cart immediately as they can only be one at any given time. The loot values in your loot cart will update if a defense would be worth more resources.
12. Do I lose Capital Gold if I leave my Clan?
No, you do not lose any Capital Gold or Raid Medals if you leave your Clan. You only lose the resources you spent contributing to the Clan Capital, and that can not be claimed back.
13. Can I get banned from Clash of Clans?
Yes, you can be banned from Clash of Clans for violating the Terms of Service, including disruptive behaviour, cheating, and other malicious acts.
14. Should I leave my Town Hall outside of my base walls?
Leaving your Town Hall outside of your walls can be a strategic move if you prioritize loot over trophies. It allows attackers to take your Town Hall for an easy victory, and prevents them from attacking and stealing more loot from your collectors, storages, and mines.
15. What is the largest possible loot in Clash of Clans?
The maximum loot an attacker can obtain in Clash of Clans is approximately 2.1 to 2.2 million. This is often a result of high level defenses, storage and collector amounts, and the attacker’s bonuses.
Conclusion
In summary, the Treasury is a very safe place for your resources in Clash of Clans. While there is a minor vulnerability if the Clan Castle is completely destroyed, at only 3%, this loss is minuscule compared to the potential loss from other buildings. By understanding the mechanics of your Treasury and the limitations of other storage locations, you can effectively manage your resources, minimize losses, and become a more strategic player in Clash of Clans. Keep hoarding and keep building!
