Free Gold for ROTMG

There are a few ways to get free gold for Realm of the Mad God and I discussed how Kabam Rewards work. A better way is to avoid Kabam and go through Kongregate and earn kreds. Kreds are the currency for Kongregate and can be used in hundreds of games that have in game purchases. While you can buy kreds you can also earn them.


Every kred you earn is well documented and support is great if there is a problem. You start by clicking on the Buy Kreds button.


It shows you all your options to buy kreds. I chose the EARN FREE KREDS option in the middle row, the second one with the K tokens pictures.


That takes you to the Earn Kreds section. Most are offers that you must buy with real money. The other majority are downloads of things that sound creepy. The best are the videos they only give you +1 kred but they are the least invasive.


When you finally earned enough kreds you go the nexus and go to buy gold and you are presented with the above options. 

I had no plans to ever buy in game stuff so I never bothered unitl ROTMG. I finally decided on June 1, 2013 to earn enough kreds to buy a extra chest and character slot. In less than 2 months by July 18, 2013 I already had enough to buy them. 111 kreds i used to get 1200 gold for free.

I did one +10 survey but found it was too long so instead i just watched videos. Luvkily this was before the 4th of July. During this time period Samsung and Jay-z were pushing his new album and they had the commercial about it up. Everyday you could play the video ad about 20 times. After 5 days I earned almost +100 kreds for these +1 videos.

Samsung and Jay-Z got into a little trouble for overly promoting and having an app that was a bit suspicious.  Those news stories you hear about Jay-Z earning millions of clicks on youtube are parially based on his promoters buying the clicks. They paid Kongregate to host the ads and gave away free kreds if you watched it. Most companies can only afford one video per customer, Samsung gave each customer at least 100 chances.

Currently there are very few videos so I will wait until another album drops and hopefully they need to boost there social media numbers too.

White Bag: EP

On the weekend of July 27-29, 2013 the UT items will be un-soulbound and available to trade. So time to hit those dungeons and pick up a few thing like the Staff of Extreme Prejudice (EP) for trade.


Sprite world is a relatively easy dungeon and it drops a fair amount of white bags. EP is less common but it is still seen enough to be worth your while even if you already maxed dex.

It shoots 10 shots in a circle at close range. While useful when hugging an enemy the risk of death is not worth it. It is also has 40% the speed of a normal staff making it slow. I prefer to use any T8 or higher staff as the speed makes up for the lack of power.

This is a pet food weapon at 600 feed power.

Expo Ring

Experimental Ring or Expo for short is the second best ring in all the realm. Sure exalted Def and HP are also great but this one is more even. Pyra ring is slightly better but tougher to find. That is another reason why expo is better. it drops from a blue bag in Mad Lab and you have two chances of finding one if you defeat both bosses.


The ring is fairly common and drops with a wis pot. Pictured above was the ring and wis pot that I switched out with two extra HP pots I was carrying. A T4 trap was also dropped but I did not need it.

The myth of not destroying any tables in Mad Lab is just that. You can destroy as many tables as you want and you may still get an Expo ring or two. The Random Number Generator (RNG) does not get influenced by the tables destruction.

Kabam Rewards (Updated)

Kabam is the owner of Realm of the Mad God and several other games. They recently started a way to buy in game merchandise for most of their games for free. Kabam Rewards does exactly that it gives you rewards points for to get in game currency.

Program Overview for ROTMG

  • 50 points for signing up
  • 550 points on top of that for the first 5-day in a row play
  • 5 points a day on top of that for playing everyday
  • 50 points for playing 10 days in row every 20 days
  • 10 points for every $1 spent
  • Double Points for every purchase over $49 
  • Double Points on your first purchase

Program Rewards

10 Gold  =500 points
500 Gold  =5000 points
1200 Gold =10000 points
2600 Gold =20000 points
7000 Gold =50000 points
16000 Gold =100000 points

At the beginning 500 points got you 20 Realm gold but they dropped it to 5 Realm gold, now it is 10 Realm Gold which is still low compared to the rest of the rewards list.

My Progress


I started on June 12, 2012 with the 50 sign in points. Today, July 13, 2013 I have 910 points. According to my calculations I will get 5000 points on August 25, 2014.

If you want free realm gold your best bet is Kongregate Kred over the same time period I got 1200 Realm Gold.

Update: They added 250 Gold = 2500 points.

White Bag: Dblade

Demon Blade commonly known as Dblade is a powerful two shot blade. It is not as strong as the T7 Golden Sword but with two shots and a Pally boost it is incredibly strong. Another draw back is the the short range. Personally I prefer Ancient Stone Sword so the Dblade gets fed to my pets.


Sometime found in white bags after defeating the Abyss boss it is not a super rare drop. The myth of carry a T5 fire sword to increase your chances of finding a Dblade is not true. It was a joke started on the forums.

White Bag: Golden Femur Again

Finding white bags is more common these days and they tend to repeat. So a few days after finding a golden femur in Abyss I find another. At least this time you get to see what else was in the bag.

 

In all there were five items in the bag. The Golden Femur was the best since it has 450 feed power. Next in the bag were 2 pots, a vit and def, then a T4 ring of Paramount Magic and a mithril dagger.

White bags often contain multiple items but few are even worthy of picking up.

White Bag: Inc from Mad Lab

Wine Cellar Incantation (Inc) is one of the more common white bag drops. This one is from the Mad Lab and dropped from Dr. Terrible.


As you see I also got an Expo ring from an early drop. All the Mad Lab exclusive gear drops in blue bags and are generally more common. Some people report that fulmi scepter is hard to get but I have found a few and I do not do this dungeon often. Even that Mith shield is from a Mad Lab drop and seems to be the easiest place to get one.
