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.

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.

Free Stuff

Occasionally the game owners at Kabam give stuff to the players. Nothing grand but just little things to pacify the rabid fans.

In the screenshot above you see the special chest vault my little knight is standing in front of at the time. There are four free gifts.

1. Ant egg, the free ants were given when you unlock the ninja.
2. Oryx Stout, this was a St. Patrick's Day freebie because apparently all Irish people drink.
3. Valentines, these are little hearts that follow you around. (5 were given but I fed 4 to my pet)
4. Cheaters items, these were T14 items that were prematurely released then duped (illegally duplicated) then Kabam turned them into useless items that takes points away from you. An April Fools Day gift.

Do not expect free stuff often April Fools Day stuff is a tradition from the WildShadow days. Not every holiday is even celebrated or mentioned. Most of the stuff is weak and I just keep them in the chest. although only 8 slots are there up to 15 or so spaces are available.
