Low cost, high popularity, Pixels super efficient gold farming guide

If someone asks which Gamefi project has the lowest gold farming cost and the highest popularity at this stage, it must be Pixels Farm.

On the one hand, according to DappRadar data, in the past month, the number of independent users of the blockchain game Pixels has continued to rise, reaching 1.54 million, ranking first in the entire RON ecosystem and far ahead of the second place. On the other hand, compared with most blockchain games, Pixels has a lower cost of making gold, and you can even start making gold every day at 0 cost. Although according to the latest AMA, it is emphasized that the daily reward pool for “free players” will be reduced and the rewards for VIP users will be increased, the monthly investment cost of becoming a VIP user is only US$10, which is within the acceptable range for most veteran blockchain game players.

So, how can we participate in Pixels and earn gold efficiently? ** Based on the actual experience during this period, communication with senior users and combined with the recent AMA content, Odaily Planet Daily has provided a set of gold earning strategies suitable for most users. **

AMA key points

The official AMA on April 3rd covered a lot of “dry goods” that are worth our in-depth discussion.

First, Luke explained the token economics of Pixels. The monthly unlocking of Pixels is mainly divided into three parts:

• 28 million Pixels tokens: monthly token rewards in the ecosystem, which is also the part that needs to be adjusted in this AMA. The core is how to effectively distribute these unlocked tokens to real users instead of robots, etc.
• 10 million Pixels tokens: Tokens deposited into the project treasury every month. Luke said that the team will not misappropriate these tokens without authorization. The use of the treasury tokens needs to be decided by community members through voting or other methods before they can be used;
• 3.125 million Pixels tokens: distributed monthly to contributors to the project such as team advisors.

**Secondly, and this is also the highlight of this AMA - how to efficiently distribute the 28 million Pixels tokens unlocked each month. **According to Luke’s statement, this part is the part that needs to be continuously optimized throughout the next 3-6 months, 12 months or even longer.

Specifically, efficient allocation of tokens unlocked each month means continuous optimization of the Taskboard. In the first step, the team intends to divide the large reward pool of the Taskboard into two reward pools: free players and VIP/land holders. The latter will occupy a larger reward pool, and the rewards for the two are independent.

The second step is to refine more small reward pools. In order to increase the diversity of the game, Luke said that in addition to the two reward pools for free players and VIP/land holders, more reward pools will be refined, such as: **Total skill points exceeding 100, owning a pet for 100 days, only planting carrots, joining a union, creating a union, and other different restrictions. **

So, how should we make gold efficiently this time?

Pixels Gold Farming Strategy

Before we get into specific strategies, let me first share a tool website (click here). This website summarizes the prices of various materials in Pixels, unit energy output, unit time profit, etc. It is a must-have website for gold farming.

Since Pixels includes planting, breeding, mining, raising cicadas, raising chickens, raising bees, etc., it is very confusing for novices. Therefore, combined with this website, we have analyzed a set of gold-making tutorials suitable for beginners and advanced players, and everyone can optimize on this basis. **Before the formal explanation, everyone needs to understand that our core goal is “how to obtain ‘cost-effective materials’ in exchange for as much gold as possible under the condition of limited energy every day.” **

**First of all, raising chickens and bees are the core. **Enter the website and select the “Resources” column to observe the material prices, benefits, skill consumption and other data produced by various skills. According to the data, it can be clearly seen that excluding some cooking materials (because they do not consume energy, this part of the operation strategy will be discussed later), “raising chickens to produce eggs and raising bees to produce honey” are the two ways to obtain the most gold coins per unit of energy.

Some friends may question that it is obvious that cutting down trees and producing flour will bring higher profits, but both trees and windmills are limited resources (if others use them, you won’t), and the waiting time is uncertain, so the output per unit time is uncertain, which is not an efficient production method.

Resources

Then, we need to find out which land can be used for raising chickens and bees through the website, and select the “Lands” column above. According to the picture below, if there is a “chicken” sign in the Coop column, it means that the land can be used for raising chickens. However, it should be noted that since some land holders may be set to “closed” (others cannot obtain various resources on the land), you need to go to the specific land number to confirm.

Search for “chicken coop”

For beekeeping, just select “Apiary” in the part shown in the picture below. You can fill in up to four places, which means there are 4 “beehives” on the land.

Search for “beehive”

Secondly, part of the daily energy is reserved for planting some crops that appear on the task board. At present, friends who buy materials in the market often complain that popular materials are always unavailable, which is particularly time-consuming. In fact, someone asked Luke about this issue in previous AMAs. Luke’s answer was that although the optimization of this part of the function will improve the game experience, the current focus of development is on task board upgrades and Bot monitoring, and it may not be adjusted in the short term. Therefore, this part of the strategy is to save the frequent purchase and sale of materials in the market when making task board materials. It is recommended to stock up on various crops.

Finally, cooking can be done continuously. Friends who have participated in cooking should find that cooking some foods does not consume energy. Therefore, if the price of the synthesized food is higher than the total price of the required raw materials, you can make money from the price difference in the secondary market in an endless cycle, and earn more gold coins while improving your skill points.

Partial cooking 0 energy consumption

Overview

According to the content of this AMA, the reward share of free players will continue to shrink in the future. At the same time, if VIP users do not adjust their strategies, their daily gold output may also be affected. Therefore, according to the current resource prices, “raising chickens and bees as the main, and planting and cooking as the auxiliary” is a good entry strategy. At the same time, we need to pay close attention to the changes in the rewards of the task board after the launch of Chapter 2.
