Not Getting Gold (Coins/Money) Drops

  • So I've been playing a while and am level 50 on my valkyrie, and I've seen the game drop gold (coins) only 3 times since the beginning tutorial section where I did see coins dropping. I had thought that it was unusual and wondered why there were even minions that collected gold when I saw none dropping. Now, a friend has started playing a ninja and gold is dropping for them left and right. I couldn't believe it. I asked them if it was a special ninja thing at one point, but they seem to get gold on their other characters as well.


    So maybe I am bugged? Looking online showed that gold drops were bugged back in 2019, but there's not anything much after that mentioned.


    Please advise. Thanks!

  • Another thing might be level difference between character and the mobs. If you ran some dungeons or simply farmed some vanguard requests, and now follow storylines - perhaps your level is way above them. While regular items might be dropping (it was changed at some point in past I believe), I'm unsure about the gold drop.


    But either way, don't bother with farming gold by hunting monsters, the amount is basically non existing. If you need some gold for skills or gear, you can (again) try doing vanguards to see if there are (repeatable, green) ones that give gold, or try to gather resources around + listing them on broker.


    Real gold rewards begin above 65 or 68 lvl, when Vanguard missions give few thousands per run. Leveling is fairy easy now so reaching that level should be matter of 1-2 days total, maybe few hours if you are really rushing. Also, even highest level monsters wont give you a fortune - 10 or 40 gold coins if you are lucky while killing BAM

  • It isn't a matter of 'farming gold'. I'm not farming gold. I'm just not seeing any gold dropping from any mobs . Do mobs have to be higher level than you to have a chance to drop any gold, then? Is my ninja friend just killing things above her level?
