7 Ways to Earn Gold Coins

Gold is anything but a precious resource in the beginning of the game, but as you progress, upgrades get more expensive and Free Coins aren't as easy to find. If you are strapped for cash (in-game only...), here are some tips to help fill your pockets.

• Don't forget about your Gold Instances. While every level can earn you a few coins, Gold Instances are there only to make you wealthy. Each of the World Map's three regions has one and you can visit each one every day.
• Pickpocketing some innocent strangers can net some easy gold. *TIP* Pick victims that are a level or two below your character. You may not get the shard, but you will almost always walk away with 2600 gold in exchange for 5 fortitude points.
• If you have Constitution Points to burn, Auto-Looting past three star levels will give you Gold as well as a trove of other treasure. If you aren't three stars in all of your past levels. run through them until you are. Getting straight three star records on all episode levels will earn you a chest full of nifty prizes.

If you do decide to rerun some levels, look out for Crates and Vases that can be smashed and looted for extra coins. Some levels also have a decent sized treasure chest at the end just waiting to be destroyed.[/li]

• Smelting or Reforging weapons and armor at the market will get you some coins as well as some other resources like Market Crystals, which you can also exchange for gold if the option is available when you are feeling poor.
• If you are up for a challenge (or willing to beg for a carry from someone who is), Team Instances are great ways for impoverished Pandas with no Constitution Points to make some Gold.
• As a last resort, you can always exchange precious, precious Diamonds for Gold at the Store.
