This guide provides a straightforward breakdown of the refinement system in the Truegold Crucible. Because the cost of Truegold increases the more you refine in a single week, finding the right balance is important. We have outlined several weekly routines that take the daily half-price bonus into account. By comparing the cost-to-output ratios below, you can choose a practical strategy that fits your current resource levels without overspending.

Base Cost Structure (Without Daily Discount)

Here is the baseline cost before the daily 50% discount is applied. You can see exactly where the efficiency begins to drop.

Practical Tips

Target Plan L3

For most players, 26 refinements a week is the sweet spot for balancing resource spending and steady progress.

Avoid Arbitrary Numbers

Stopping exactly at 30 or 50 means you are paying full price for those final few attempts. Stick to the precise numbers outlined in the plans to use the discount effectively.

Frontload on Monday

Doing your bulk operations (20, 40, or 60) on Monday ensures your daily half-price bonuses apply to the most expensive slots for the rest of the week.
