Step 2
- After joining a higher level clan, be sure you restart the game or enter and exit any single player challenge to get an immediate update of your treasury storage.
e.g. Town hall 9 at level 12 clan gets 12000 dark elixir treasury storage.
Step 3
- After restart, click on Caravan and go to the rewards tab immediately. The rewards allocation will be based on your town hall level and the clans level that you joined.
e.g. Town hall 9 at level 12 clan gets 4800 dark elixir as tier 4 rewards.
Step 4
- Now, leave this higher level clans and return to your lower level clans.
- Your rewards allocations remain to match those of level 12 clans. Now you may start and complete any challenge.
At the end of clan games, you can claim your clan games rewards based on level 12 clans. You don’t need to join a higher level clan to claim the rewards. As of the 12th clan games, the rewards allocation is locked down based on the first time you click on the caravan after the start of each game.
