- Use platinum as some features give less rewards in gold
Joy Rose has the more complete earning coins guide easier to visualize.
Choose the order of dailies wisely to avoid triggering the plat cap, read 'note on the plat cap' below
Use Keyboard shortcuts (like 'ctrl + click' to open multiple windows while staying in the same page and 'ctrl + w' to close pages fast In windows)
The Gaia Upgrade extension adds many QoL features to the site
- Do your first post/poll vote/ journal/profile comment This can be done each 12 hrs after the last post. For 10k plat. This can take 1 min done asap, you can write as little as a single character or emoji. You can also vote in Art Arenas instead of a poll.
Daily Treats have a faulty cheat detection system 'try again later...'. They must be done one by one, if you trigger the error you have to wait 3 mins
Claim all your daily treats + daily chance/candies to to earn between 4k and 16.2k plat (+ if you are lucky you can get 6k to 7.5k from the chance/candies!). Find a thread on CB where they have all of those compiled and linked like in this one. Done asap this can take less than 2 mins.
The total sum of all forum rewards ranges from 14k to 26k (plus any lucky 6k/7.5k candies).
The flippers works differently in non-English Keyboard Layouts, for the right flipper (in my case) you need to press either '/' or '?' by keeping the shift key pressed, however the flippers get stuck sometimes when shift is pressed, you can change your keyboard layout to English to avoid problems.
Play pinball each 24 hrs for a 12k reward (after playing for a little bit, about a 2300 score) Needs to be exactly past 24hrs, if you play a little early than your last time you have to wait another day. This takes between 1-2 mins
zOmg only works via the App Battle Air or the Browser Waterfox (links to official threads)
Collect all the zOmg rewards 8-10k on average. (Varies a lot, you could get 20 k or less than 4 k. It takes you 4 minutes if you use speed boosting rings -using medic set- or 6-7 min if you don't. You need an escort if it's your first time playing to unlock all Crystals/Portals near reward-granting NPC's.
Total of each on average is about 37-40k of daily bonuses (30-32k if you don't use zOMG), with a minimum of 26k and a max of over 50k plat, (In theory over 100k plat is possible with the candies + Max zOmg rewards). Done asapt they take 10 min.
Smaller and one time grants
- Item/Plat Grants archive for 1 time plat grants.
(Optional, vote in Runway, use Spinami and dive in a Dumpster (each 5 min) for small rewards)
Use the bulletin board to collect ocassionally 1gcash by clicking on the banners
(In Lake Kindred click on your Kindred each 24 hrs for a chance gift, most of the time they grant very low prizes)
Farming notes:
Note on the plat cap
If you earn too much plat too fast or have a constant stream of plat after a certain amount of time you will trigger a plat cap that reduces the amount you earn until you reach 1 p. It resets after less than 30 min the first time, later it can take about an hour and after hitting it a couple more times in a day it can take more hours to reset.
Examples of timing activation: By doing all the dailies listed + getting the pinball reward + bumping in forums you can trigger it in less than 5 min. Farming Sycamorte Trees on Lake Kindred steadily earning 608-1216 plat on the space of minutes would trigger it in more than 1 hr.
Earning plat from different sources stacks: if you earned plat from daily threads and posting + the pinball grant recently and then play Lake Kindred or zOmg you would get diminished returns in games and viceversa.
To avoid it during your dailies leave Pinball for last (except for zOmg) as it grants a high amount of plat (12k) fast. Conversely you can leave the forum activities (posting/comment/daily treats for later if you played Pinball first. zOmg can be left for last as it still grants the same rewards despite the plat cap.

Bumping loren ipsums on the CB forum (The most profitable)
If you spam a long text like a loren ipsum in a 'bumping thread' of the chatterbox you can get about 1.5-1.7k per minute until the plat cap hits but depends on the speed of your browser. You can switch to a mule account to avoid getting capped. Theoretically you can get 100k an hour but you need to circumvent the plat cap.
The first efficient technique to bump asap is opening 2+ threads, posting a copy/pasted loren ipsum in one, then immediately switching to the other to avoid waiting on the page to refresh. When you get a captcha solve it just in 1 page, for the other(s) press refresh.
The other efficient technique is clicking the page link at the top of the browser right after you post. You will see that the page will not update and redirect you and instead you can post a direct reply again.

Note on Lake Kindred (Efficiency Guide)
Sycamortes (Bosses of Kindred Wilds Stage 5) give 608-1016 p most of the time, you can get 21-22K p. per 35 min on average in 100 battles (avg price and number of capsules included in the calculation and you can increase the plat by up to 21% with amulets).
Farming capsules, opening and selling the items is very profitable as well, the last stages of Milky Way and Land of Sweets give you a ton of capsules 50% to 60% each battle, it involves time to open them but a 10-20 k item from a 50 batch makes it all worth it (profitability subject to market conditions so it may change but right now start of 2025 is still better than plat farming and when they update the capsules it is amazingly profitable for a short period)
Switching from farming plat to capsules after hitting the plat cap is a good strategy.

Note on zOmg (Playing zOmg today
, Solo level up Guide)
The most profitable dungeons to farm require a full team of 6 players for profit maximization, those are Papa Saw (Ps) and the first parts of Shallow Sea (Smob), giving you slightly less plat results than lake Kindred (30k-40k an hour) but includuding orbs and rings rewards.
Ps 4 orbs/Minute
Solo fluff 4 -4.5 orbs/minute, about 15k hour.
Ps 4 orbs/Minute
Solo fluff 4 -4.5 orbs/minute, about 15k hour.
Note on Pinball
Short games of a 1-2 mins give you 500 p, longer games give you over 1000 p. The current ruffle version lacks many features present in the flash version, rewards are good but the game can get boring. It is most efficient to play in smaller bits to get the 500 p and start a new game. On Ruffle for points it is worth to spam Rufus shop for 500 in-game points since it is one of the few places that increases score.
