In short

Gold Rush scores obtaining Gold. Prepare mining income and pending claims, then collect them while the event is active. Ranking is personal, and its rewards are credited when you next log in.

What it is

Gold Rush is the income tournament in the short personal tournament family. You earn rank points by obtaining Gold during its active window. The event notes describe timing mining income, quests, tributes and other available claims to land inside it.

This currency pays for items, bonuses and troop revival. A well-timed claim can therefore help the ranking while also funding a revival you already intended to make. There is no special tournament monster, raid stage or separate event token to prepare.

The useful distinction is between income waiting to be claimed and money already in your balance. The event is about obtaining the resource during the window, not merely owning a reserve when the window opens.

When it runs

The official rules describe random launches without a fixed public timetable. The same short tournament cannot run consecutively, and the next short tournament starts after the current one ends.

Use the calendar to prepare pending claims. The start in the table is read from the game's calendar when you open the page; when no start is known, the page says so instead of showing an old date.

The game doesn't publish a fixed repeat cycle for this tournament, and past starts don't settle one. Check the game's upcoming list for its next appearance.

Who can take part

The entry record lists no additional requirement. This is a personal ranking, and the general event rules state that this tournament family has no divisions.

A clan does not pool its members' income into a shared tournament total. Members with pending achievements can prepare differently from members gathering on the map; neither needs to imitate a purchase-heavy attempt to participate.

How points are scored

Obtain Gold while the event is active. The official resource article identifies concrete income routes, which help you find claims worth preparing instead of relying on vague advice to save everything.

Golden MountainAccess depends on your kingdom winning Clash of Kingdoms
AchievementsCompleted qualifying achievements with an unclaimed payout

Triumphal Challenge! and seasonal passesEligible progress rewards ready to claim
Daily free offersCheck available income before making a purchase

The resource article establishes where income comes from; the event notes establish the tournament's claim-timing approach. The exact point conversion and unusual transfer or conversion cases remain a narrower question for the active scoring rules.

The game doesn't publish how many points each unit of income earns, or whether transfers and conversions are excluded. Check the live tournament's rules in the game.

Time the claim, not the whole account

  1. List achievements, pass rewards and map income you already have available.
  2. Keep urgent revival and development funded before holding a claim.
  3. When Gold Rush starts, collect the eligible income you prepared.
  4. Check your place before spending effort on further income.
  5. Log in after the event to receive the placement payout.

Do not buy an offer merely because it is another source of income. The official article includes purchases among the routes, but it also lists mining, achievements and rewards. Your prepared income should be the starting point for the attempt.

Keep this separate from resource spending

Obtaining the currency is the scored activity. Reviving troops or buying a bonus uses that income; those actions serve your account but are not the income action named by this tournament. Save enough time to make the intended claim before the window closes.

Rewards

The placement payout arrives automatically when you next log in. The family rules direct Dragon Coins to Clan Capital, rather than your personal currency balance.

The catalogue declares no dedicated chest binding for this event. There is therefore no event-specific chest percentage table to add. A placement reward and a chest opened to obtain income are different things; the latter keeps its own contents and chances.

A plan for your clan

Use the collection guide, the short-tournament overview, and the pass and clan reward guide to keep the connected activities clear.

Common mistakes

  • Claiming a completed achievement just before the window opens.
  • Treating a pre-existing balance as new income.
  • Assuming a map source is available without checking its kingdom condition.
  • Spending on an offer before reviewing free or already-earned claims.
  • Expecting capital currency from a placement to enter the personal balance.

FAQ

Where can I prepare income for Gold Rush?

Review mining, completed achievements, pass rewards and available bonuses. The resource article lists these routes, and the event notes recommend timing eligible claims for the window.

Are Dragon Mound and Golden Mountain the same preparation?

Both are map income sources, but the latter depends on your kingdom winning the cross-kingdom event. Do not plan around access your kingdom does not have.

Does spending Gold give points here?

The named scoring activity is obtaining it. Spending funds items, bonuses or revival, while the income claim is the action to time for this tournament.

Do I have to buy anything?

No purchase requirement is listed. Mining and already-earned claims are income routes described by the official resource article.

How do tied scores work?

The general event rules rank the player who reached the point total earlier above the player who reached it later.
