Farming for Gold?

Great question. I'm happy with two tasks, so typically 60 Au. Anything above that is a bonus.

In fairness, anything above that didn't used to be a bonus, but I've had to temper expectations in the new system and can't take placing for Gold for granted.

Daily tasks (hopefully for 70, settle for 60 - always change tasks for WSP back into Au) plus daily squad victory bonuses (9) plus 1.17 Au per match played. Assuming 15 matches, that's roughly 87 for a fairly active day. Play 25 and it's close to 100. Play only 6 (all in squads, winning half of them, completing daily tasks over the course of 2.5 days on average) and you're down to around 75 per day... quickly dropping to zero with less daily activity than that.

I assume 75 as a daily average for planning purposes, although in reality I'm generally somewhere in the 100-200 range depending on activity and how much I solo (I do better on Au when soloing but worse on Ag). Plus it seems like we are frequently in "event periods" where you get bonuses from snowflakes, coins, etc which can really add up. Figure 3 coins per match and something like 0.2 Au per coin, you're looking at a bonus of 10-15 Au per day... not exactly Christmas (where it seemed like ~4x as much Au from event items) but not too shabby, either.

But then I'm patient and don't see much need for Au. I can't earn Ag fast enough to need to accelerate upgrades, and there are only so many Au items for sale. Play for a month and you could get something nifty and new like a Galahad or a pair of orkans. Upgrade for a month and you're spending anywhere from a few million to over a hundred million Ag. That's why the earnings I track closely are in Ag.

New players have more need for gold, but they also get much more daily gold in the form of Au bonuses every time they level up. Those pay for the essentials (hangar slots, maybe a starter set of orkans) and WSPs provide a steady stream of new content in the form of different weapons and bots. I might eventually play around with a couple of britbots, maybe a zeus - but until then rhinos and plasmas scratch my itch for 'premium' content. Griffins are lots of fun and available for Ag. I have a little over 6500 gold sitting around waiting for room in my upgrade queue (and corresponding Ag to pay for it) to introduce the next new bot (galahad) but, there again, the upgrade process is my bottleneck rather than Au earnings.

As far as I can tell, the only value of earning gold any faster than the game is designed to trickle out (intentionally from a business standpoint to keep people addicted) would be to accelerate reaching "endgame" of 12/12 everything - assuming I had Ag to pay for it all, which I clearly don't. And what's the fun in reaching endgame any faster? That's when most people get bored and have to find something new to occupy the imagination.

150 always seemed the minimum reasonable amount for me. Grabbing just dailies means that for any of the 5k purchases you're grinding over two months, I like cutting that time in half. The plus about running solo is you can push for 200au so anything over minimum is a plus. However it heavily relies on your hanger being built for damage and beacon capping getting that 8-10au per match. If it's not then I'd probably be fine with 100 a day.

Same. With 69 being the bare minimum (60 for tasks, 9 for winning with clanmates)
In fact, I generally get to 90, making an average of 1 gold per game (but with a large variance, from 0.45 to 1.5)

With daily tasks and battle gold won I still get about 100 a day. Down a little, but not much.

Meant to add (without daily).Or more than 200 I never kept track just enjoyed playing the game.

I get less gold for playing just the game, but the thing is, is that I always do my daily tasks. Thats a minimum of 60. Some complain, yet some dont do their tasks.

With the old MM, I used to shoot for an overall average of 200/day with 150 as a minimum. I would sometimes clear the minimum just by playing enough matches to complete my tasks. 300 or more on a good day.

Now I aim to complete my tasks, and 100 is a good, satisfying day. Win rate is lower, avg gold per win lower, plus I play fewer matches.
