Gold Farming Guide

## Importance of Gold

Most players in their first few months of the game will find themselves in poverty. Gold costs for upgrading Facilities and using S Venus Pieces are extremely high at ~6m gold to upgrade Office from level 1 - 12 and ~1m gold to upgrade a player to 7☆.

## Gold Day

Every Friday from 0:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC, the daily Exhibition match switches over to Gold Cup. **Winning each match in ADVANCED gives you >18000 gold, or >1k per AP spent, the greatest gold/AP income in the game, regardless of Office level.** This is further eased by allowing you to choose your opponent. It is recommended to choose a weak (lvl 1) opponent as opponent difficulty has no effect on gold income. Auto matches also only give 1500 less gold than a manual match, making it **recommended to just do auto**. This makes Gold Day NEET and newbie friendly.

## Tips and Tricks

* Save your AP bar before the daily reset, and don't let it overfill during Gold Day. At 18 AP per match, it's very easy to obtain a lot of gold quickly without spending too much time grinding.
* Upon daily reset at 0:00 UTC, the first match of the day gives a double match bonus of fans, gold, and experience. **Make sure your first match won of every Friday is a Gold Cup match.** If you are currently in a match when the reset times passes, BEWARE that match will count towards your daily match bonus. Take care to finish any matches before reset, or forfeit the match.
	+ The same principle above applies for the next day. If you wait to finish your last gold match after the clock turns from 23:59 UTC to 0:00 UTC, you can obtain a second double match bonus of fans, gold and experience. This method is often called **double dipping.**
* There is a method that allows you to spend even more AP on Gold Day while still double dipping. First, use up all your AP before reset and let your device sit on the screen before clicking on an opponent. The match should have a notice that says "Insufficient AP". As long as you do not restart the app, allow your AP to slowly regenerate to 18 and then attempt to start a match. This should allow you to perform one more Gold Cup match long after the daily reset for the 2X gold bonus.

## Manual vs. Auto

### Calculations

 Win
 Join
 Manual
 Level 10 Office
 Staff (Level 10 Office; 80 Office value)

Let's look at the rewards without Office. 18000 Match + 2000 Win + 1000 Join; 1500 Manual.
You'd get 21000 Gold without Manual, 22500 Gold with Manual. This comes out at a *7.1% increase in gold.* There are no other rewards for doing Gold Day Manual. A 7% increase is extremely minimal compared to other areas of the game: Manualling League Events gives nearly 2x Points and several times the Outfit drop rate. Manualing Dragon League doubles Drill drop rate. Manualing Story Leagues gives several times the Outfit drop rate.

What if we include Office (and Staff)? A Level 10 Office + Staff would give 920 Office + ~475 Staff, making it just a *6.7% increase* in gold.

**TL;DR ~~Only do Manual if it's worth that 7% extra Gold to you.~~For the love of god just do Auto.**

## Other Gold Farming Maps

At the moment, Gold is best acquired through Gold Day, at the cost of not receiving much else (no Trust/Drills/Fame etc.) As Managers level up their Office, low AP matches like Minor League Division 10 and Dragon League become more viable, though still not as profitable in terms of gold. Even at level 11 Office, Gold Day still produce twice as much Gold than Dragon League and Minor League Div 10.

However, by increasing Office, you'll hopefully have increased your passive income enough to be sufficient even when playing low Gold/AP maps like League Events. At level 12 Office, you'll never touch Gold Day again.

## FAQ

Where do I find the exhibition matches/gold cup matches?
Game -> Bottom left -> Shuffle through left or right arrows

What about beginner or intermediate matches?
Poor income in comparison. Since you can choose your opponent, including level 1s, EVERY manager should choose advanced matches.

You mentioned upgrading Office to level 12. Why is that important?
As gold is needed for the other Facilities and S Venus, upgrading your Office first is recommended to improve your gold income on all matches. It is especially important to get your Office to level 5 ASAP to unlock the Skill Mixer. The sooner you upgrade your gold facility, the more profit it will generate over time.
