(xbox) So I found a few reads about successful gold farming and I read that there is no gold cap. I decided to run Eternal flame Alchemist Banshee Finley I expected to receive a large amount of gold after a 15 minute match in the pride lands, and received just a little over 150. Then I decided I would keep track of the gold earned throughout the match via my troops skills and extra turn moves and my count was above 500 gold. I finished the match and received only 158 gold. So my question is, is there a gold cap per match? Or is it just impossible to farm gold in “story mode?” ---

There is a gold cap for all matches. I believe XBox is on 105 + armor bonus. If you have a 50% gold armor, you are likely getting 158 gold per match. ---

Thank you very much. It’s a shame there’s all these troops that offer gold bonuses when you can’t really benefit from it. ---

Look at it the other way around, there isn’t an incentive to drag out fights. Just get a few Alchemist casts in and move on to the next fight, you’ll still get max rewards. ---

Yes, it’s much more beneficial to focus on finishing fights quickly when it comes to gold. The other thing is to be discerning in the fights you pick. For example, I only got after fights that are \>400 gold. I’ve found this to be the cut off where I can find a match without having to do too many skips and with the Dragon Armor I get over 1k/fight, and each fight usually only takes a few minutes. ---

During PvP I try to end it as quickly as possible, but for the past 3 days the game was telling me no suitable matches were found so I was trying to rake in as much gold as possible while playing through the “story” missions, but thank you anyway for your reply. ---

I’m still running Viking armor for the next 227 gems so my payout isn’t quite as great. another benefit of dragging out the fights is that it allows a newer player like myself to get more treasure maps
