Magical items got introduced along with the Clan Games in December 2017 and they are very powerful items that can boost your progress a lot and help you so much. In this article, you will find everything that you need to know about them, how to use them, what magical items you can get in Clash of Clans and finally also how to get them.
What Are Magical Items?
So let’s start off with the magical items themselves – they are consumable items that you can use to boost upgrades, resource collection, your army or army training or even finish upgrades or fill your resources completely. They are divided into books, potions, runes & rings and some of them also work for your Builder Base as well. If you’d like to know how much Gems each book worth is, please check out my guide here:

Hammers
The most valuable magic items as they will not only save you the full upgrade costs, they will also skip the upgrade time sou you can (when compared with pure gem prices), save yourself up to 10,000 with a hammer. Use it wisely, especially in situations when you just spend all resources on another upgrade so you will get the full boost.
You can always see the available magical items inside your treasury of your Clan Castle.
Also, keep in mind that you can only have a limited amount of magical items in your Clan Castle!
- Books: 1 of each kind
- Potions: 5 of each kind
- Runes: 1 of each kind
- Ring: 25
Exceeding The Cap
Your Clan Castle can store 1 Book & 5 Potions of each kind, that’s it. You can’t collect more via Clan Games, but there’s an option to get more than that. As you can see, it’s possible.
This happens when you already have one book in there but you purchase either a Value Pack from the shop or you finish an Event that also rewards a book.
Selling Magical Items
You can also sell magical items, but that doesn’t make much sense as their value is a lot higher than the price you can sell them for – if you can’t use it rather save it up for the future.
You will get Gems for selling them:
- Potion: 10 Gems each
- Books & Runes: 50 Gems each
- Book of Everything: 100 Gems
How To Use Magical Items
When you have a book available that you can use, you will see it directly when selecting an upgrade – here as an example the upgrade of the Barbarian King when I have one Book of Heroes available:
This will automatically skip the whole upgrade time and you can use the Hero right away instead of paying the Gems to finish the upgrade. Of course, you will need to have the corresponding book depending if you want to skip the upgrade time of a spell upgrade, troop upgrade, hero upgrade or building upgrade.
Using spells are a global buff that you can start right out of the Magical Items section of your treasury and once you use it you have the power active for the time the potion offers (max troops levels, much more resource production or faster training times).
You can also do that when you have selected a building (in this case boost hero regeneration with a Training Potion)
How To Get Magical Items
The only way to get magical items is by unlocking them in the highest reward tiers of the Clan Games or getting them from the Trader (TH8+).
Still, if you have a somewhat-active clan it’s not that difficult to unlock the highest reward tier and get yourself some nice magical items next to resources and gems.
