    Post Nugget #12 - Coins

    "Coin" is a strategic resource acquired through either playing the game or by purchasing with gems. Coins are needed to buy all sorts of items and you will need large quantities of them in order to progress through the storyline.

    How Many
    There is no limit on how many coins you need, but even if you stick to the core game storyline and do all expansions, you will need 10's of millions of coins. Also, it is good practice to have a few million coins in reserve for timed quests. Timed events & quests often require the purchase of an expensive item or a lot of coin based items.

    Sources
    Nearly everything in the game produces coins to some extent:
    • Buildings
    • Farming
    • Animals
    • Decorations
    • Adventures
    • Goals
    • Daily Login
    • Inventory overrun (when an item cannot be stored anymore it is converted into 15 coins)


    Note that selling an item might yield some coins, but avoid this option as the economics are not really in your favor.

    Strategy
    If you just play the game (tend animals, collect buildings, harvest crops, etc.), events and goals you will amass enough coins to make Scrooge McDuck droll. After you complete the main storyline, you are likely to quickly amass a huge stock pile of coins.

    If you really need to get as much as possible coins on short notice; you should focus on coin producing game items, but this can come at a great energy cost.

    Buildings that have been visited (tapped on a heart) by a neighbor will yield an additional 20% coins. It is therefore useful to have many active neighbors.

    Animals to tend and resources to chop do not yield much coins, their purpose is different!

    Special
    Special cases with decoration dropping materials, for every drop above the cap, the game converts it into a 15 coins drop. This feature can be exploited to generate high coin drops. This comes however at a high energy cost.

    YPPPH = Yield Per Plot Per Hours

    The farmhouse at any level is the cheapest and most easy way to build up a good stash of coins in a short time.

    The jeweler is not in as it has to too low yield per hour. Normally I add each with >100 coins per hour. I need to update the nugget as many things are missing I see.

    what about coins / square?
    ...before i place the royal chateau / the knights hall / conservatory, i place 2 p-tavern or 2 jeweler. no one should buy a royal manor
    and dont forget the 20% from neighbors. more buildings - more bonus if you have active nbrs...
