Clash of Clans will tie the Star Bonus to Town Hall level and add Ranked Medals and a Prestige Shop
Supercell says most players will get the same or more Star Bonus rewards, unused Snacks will stop disappearing, and medals start the week of 16 November.

Supercell’s Clash of Clans post “Stars, Snacks and Showing Off”, published on 10 November, describes changes that arrive “later this month”, without an exact date. The Star Bonus will move to Town Hall level, and the update will add Snack Packs, new Magic Snacks, Ranked Medals and a Prestige Shop.
Star Bonus rewards by Town Hall level
Star Bonus rewards will depend on Town Hall level instead of Ranked League, so players at the same Town Hall get the same rewards. Supercell says it set each Town Hall’s values at what its top players already earned, so “most Chiefs will see the same or more, Ore included”. Stars from Casual Battles, Ranked Battles and revenge attacks will count, while Clan Wars, Friendly Challenges and Practice won’t.
At 2 stars, players will open a Snack Pack with a Battle Bake. At 5 stars, they collect the Star Bonus loot and Ore plus a second Snack Pack with one random Magic Snack.
What each Magic Snack does
A Battle Bake multiplies Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir loot from the next battle by 2x, 3x or 4x, and same-type Bakes add uses rather than stacking. A Loot Cart Lolly triples the next three Loot Carts, a Clan Castle Slice adds free reinforcements to the next three battles, and a Star Bonus Snack gives an extra daily Star Bonus for 48 hours. Snacks will no longer disappear if not activated in time; they activate at the next login.
Ranked Medals and the Prestige Shop
Below Legend League, Trophies will convert into Ranked Medals when they reset at the end of each tournament. In Legend League, medals will come each Battle Week based on position at the end of Sunday’s Battle Day. There is no fixed rate: Legend I guarantees at least 2,000 a week, and Legend II offers up to 3,500.
The Prestige Shop will bring the Ranked Shop, CWL Shop and Fancy Shop together, each with its own currency and deals.
When Ranked Medals start and how league items unlock
The week of 16 November is the first in which medals can be earned, with the first payout on Monday 23 November. Past placements earn no medals. League-locked shop items use the highest league a player has ever reached in Ranked Battles, but a pre-update league counts only if the player signed up and played in it. Medal storage is capped by Town Hall level.
