About this converter
Frozen Throne prices every unit in gold plus lumber, and gold tags stay fixed on current balance. Ghouls cost 120, Archers 130, Footmen, Priests and Headhunters 135 each, Dryads 145, Raiders and Mortar Teams 180 each, Huntresses 195, Grunts 200, Riflemen 205, Glaive Throwers 210, Crypt Fiends 215, Demolishers 220, Meat Wagons 230, Knights 245, Tauren 280, and Frost Wyrms top at 385. Lumber rides beside gold on most rows, from 10 on Archers to 120 on Wyrms, and sits in context. Old Reign of Chaos guides print higher tags like Footman 160 and Grunt 235, so the table pins TFT values. Every figure here is the gold cell from Warcraft Wiki unit pages and Blizzard classic pages with gaming-tools cross checks.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Frost Wyrm against 1 Ghoul to see the top to basic gap. The unit box flips between single gold and thousands.
Lumber is found by peons, ghouls and wisps rather than bought, which is why the converter tracks gold only. Food and building needs sit in context. Reforged keeps TFT balance, so values hold there too.
