Clash of Clans Alchemist: What to Know About This Resource Converting Character

Clash of Clans' latest update has introduced a new character to the Home Village known as the Alchemist. You can unlock her for 100 Gems once your reach Town Hall 11.

Housed at the Helper Hut alongside the Builder's Apprentice and the Lab Assistant, the Alchemist offers players an interesting mechanic: Resource conversion. This will undoubtedly be useful for any player looking to swap out one resource they have too much of for a resource they may find themselves lacking.

All Resource Conversion Stats for the Alchemist

The Alchemist can immediately convert any of the three main resources – Gold, Elixir, and Dark Elixir – into one another. The best part is that she will provide bonus resources in the conversion process, with the bonus increasing the higher the level of the Alchemist.

To convert your resources, simply go to the Helper Hut, select the Alchemist, and, using the slider, select the amount of resources you want to convert. There's a maximum number of resources you can convert. This number can be increased when you upgrade her.

That said, you can find a helpful table listing out the resource conversion stats of the Alchemist in the table below:

Keep in mind that the Alchemist can only perform one resource conversion a day.

How to Upgrade the Alchemist in Clash of Clans

As you can tell, the higher the Alchemist's level, the more effective her abilities become. But, how does someone upgrade her?

Much like other characters at the Helper's Hut, you will need to spend Gems to upgrade the Alchemist. Yes, we know this is expensive – especially for free-to-play players. But, think of it as a worthwhile investment for a lifetime of bonus resources. Remember that you can only upgrade her when you've reached a specific Town Hall level.

You can find the uprade cost for each level of the Alchemist in the table below:

So, with this in mind, it's best you start saving your Gems or buying them from the in-game store.
