It's true you have to spend some money in Game of War in order to get gold, but it's less than you might think, if you make the right choices with the gold you have. In this article I'll cover a variety of methods that will help you earn more gold consistently once you already have a larger amount saved up.
I wish I could say that you could earn enough gold from scratch for this strategy, but that's really not the case unless you know something I don't. There are a few ways that you can earn free gold in the game, but you don't get much. I'll talk about those at the end
First, I should mention that events get harder by requiring more resources and speed ups the higher you level up your stronghold. It might benefit you more if you stayed at 15 or 18 for awhile and used the strategy below to amass a good chunk of gold before upgrading higher.
The fundamental strategy behind earning gold through completing events is to get enough gold and speedups saved so that you can complete multiple events at the same time and earn enough rewards to do it over and over again without depleting your gold supply. The great thing about this strategy is that you are trying to earn back all the gold and speed ups you spend, while also gaining a TON of power.
The concept is simple, but the execution is tricky. There are some things you need to look for when choosing events to complete with this method.
Worthy Mention: Save up and plan for specific kvk events to complete with your alliance, and if possible with your kingdom as a whole. This will give you a much better chance of winning kvks and thus winning gold prizes.
I can't remember what's required for Strongholds under 21, but for SH21 you need approximately 90k gold, 50+ days of speed ups, and many millions of resources depending on the events you are trying to complete. These numbers very greatly, but we are releasing a SUPER AWESOME tool in the next few days that will tell you exactly how much you need to save of each.
I've written a few articles that will help you guys on this, but really it's just a matter of saving up ahead of time and choosing the right events to recycle.
Consider: You don't have to complete events all the way up to tier 3 rewards for this gold strategy to work. Just make sure you get a good return on your investment. Some events are much better than others.
There are no ways to "cheat the system" and get unlimited gold.
Post in the comments below if you have anything to add about earning gold.
Enjoy!
