    Best ways to get Gold:

    1) Arena Milestones
    - Featured ( 38K - First 3 Milestones)
    - Basic (30K - First 3 Milestones)
    - 4* Arena (51K - First 5 Milestones)
    2) Incursions Milestone
    - 100K (10 Milestones)
    3) Events Milestones (22 hr and 7 hr)
    - 50K (Milestones 1 and 3)
    - 22K (Milestones 1 to 3)
    4) Monthly EQ (Thronebreaker Difficulty)
    - 3.6M for Full Exploration
    - 2M from The Gauntlet

    - Arena Crystals (from using Battlechips)
    - Gold Crystals (from the 22 hr and 7 hr crystals)

    Personally, I sell all my basic ISO for Gold, never use them for ranking up champs.

    You get 1.5 mil aweek from the iso and gold mysterium offer. It costs 5000 in total. Absolute steal imo

    I buy 6 - 8 gold crystals in the glory store each week, that's usually enough

    Another good one, is to only use gold on champs you need.

    BG store does NOT have gold crystals of any description.

    Waiting for @DNA3000 to give a thesis on this one.

    Arena, incursions and variant difficulty back issues if you haven’t explored that yet are good ways.

    Also t5 basic cats from glory store are worth 50k a piece and are decent value for the first few.

    Should be. At least for a long while.

    Are you talking abt the 60000 gold and the iso selector they offer in the store? Still haven’t beaten act 6 yet so maybe my offers are worse?

    Duping champs and selling expiring Iso, it is by far the easiest way to “farm gold”

    Ease up on rank ups until you get a gold acquiring strategy, and build your gold stash.

    And are you free to play? Or are you a spender?

    I’m a mix of both, I spend and grind

    My go to sources are monthly eq (the exploration paths all have a lot) and incursions.
  • ButtehrsButtehrs Member Posts: 5,980 ★★★★★
    It also helps not leveling or ranking up unless level up 22hr event is up.

    All the good sources of gold have pretty much been mentioned by the other posters, so I’ll mention the one gold option that hasn’t been mentioned yet. Whenever possible, always use class appropriate ISO to rank up.

    When you use class specific ISO on a champ of the same class, you get a 50% bonus. In other words, if you use a 5k ISO brick and it matches the class of your champ, you actually get 7.5k level up points. In effect, it’s essentially getting a 33% discount in terms of gold, because you are using fewer ISO bricks and thus spending less gold to use them to level up.

    But how can you consistently use the right class ISO? One way is to use the 4* class crystals. There’s a constant rotation of 4* (and 5*) crystals that contain only two classes of champs in them. That means when you open them you have a 50% chance to get the class you want if you use them to aim at a class. So if you buy those and hold them, you can use those to try to get the right class ISO when you need it. Another thing you can do is save lower rarity nexus crystals, because once again you have a very good chance of getting the class you want.

    So hold crystals you don’t really need that give you a higher chance of getting the class ISO you need, and then only use the right class ISO when you rank up, and that’s like automagically getting 33% more gold than what you’re getting now through any means.

    Ok cool. So am I but just not a heavy grinder because it takes too much of my time. Kabam has been and still is stingy with the gold. They intend to keep us hungry for it, and will ration it out in small portions, even though it's getting more and more expensive to rank champs. Here's my "gold mining" strategy. It's situational, but maybe something in it can help you.

    Daily unit store: I spend around $10-$20 a week on the daily unit store specials. They have champion crystals. If the champ is a dupe, then that will give iso which can be sold for gold.

    Glory store: use glory on UC gold crystals instead of rank up materials. These give a minimum of 19,500 gold per crystal.

    Trader's Outpost: currently has gold bundles that can be purchased with Mysterium. Get those instead of rank up materials. Kabam sometimes put gold bundles in these events. Anytime there are gold bundles, get those instead of rank up mats. There were gold bundles, or tons of iso available in the previous Deadpool Poolie event. I was able to get millions in gold from this.

    Clearing content: Exploration gives more gold.

    And like others have already said: grind Arenas. (I personally rarely or don't do this since I hate the arena grind)

    If you haven't already, slow down with the rank ups. Ask yourself does this champ NEED to be ranked right now? If so, why? Can it wait? I've done this with A LOT of champs lol. Many 6*'s are sitting at r1-r4, and many 7*'s are sitting at r1.

    Hope this helps!

    Appreciate all the insight, been wanting to rank up and max out 3 of these 5 stars I have all duped now (Scorpion, Onslaught, and Kate Bishop)
