Appendix
Assume 250SC converts to 7255 gold from selling a Shadow Mage class deck.
Treasure Chest
Assume one receives a card worth 50 gold when sold to the merchant. Therefore...
50 gold per 5 seconds
600 gold per minute
Glowing Embers
5SC earned every 30 seconds used to gaze into and embers and watch video
10SC earned per minute
290 gold per minute
Quick Match with Top 100 rank
Assume Quick Match games take 12 minutes to play on average. Other assumptions are based on findings from this article
Bottom range calculation
Assume your rating is 250 with 55% win rate and your opponent won against is rated 245 on average.
Therefore each win scores you 612.5 points
Assume rank 100 requires 150,000 points and rewards you with 1000SC
245 wins are needed (150000 / 612.55)
446 games are needed (245 / 0.55)
5352 mins needed to play (446 x 12)
500SC per 5352 min
14510 gold per 5352 min
+19600 gold from wins
34110 gold per 5352 min
+ 2500 gold from selling cards in packs
36610 gold per 5352 min
6.84 gold per min
Top range calculation
Assume your rating is 300 with 60% win rate and your opponent won against is rated 285 on average.
Therefore each win scores you 855 points
Assume rank 1 requires 500,000 points and rewards you with 10,000SC
585 wins are neeesetded (500000 / 855)
975 games are needed (585 / 0.60)
11,700 mins needed to play (975 x 12)
5,000SC per 11700 min
145,100 gold per 11700 min
+46,800 gold from wins
191,900 gold per 11700 min
+ 26,000 gold from selling cards in packs
217,900 gold per 11700 min
18.62 gold per min
Conclusion
6.84 to 18.62 gold per min
Meltdown
Assume win rate is either 40% or 70%
At 40% for tier 5, the efficiency is 1.9 gold / min
At 70% for tier 1, the efficiency is 36.2 gold / min
As per findings from here
Therefore 1.9 to 36.2 gold per min
Forum Based Tournaments
A 8 man tournament takes around 100 mins to complete and rewards a minimum of 500G (packs sell value) if you come second.
A 32 man tournament takes around 200 mins to complete a rewards a minimum of 3500G (packs sell value) if you come second.
Therefore efficiency is 5-17.5G/min
Farming Gold in World
Assume each win takes 4 minutes, therefore...
At levels 1-3:
20 gold per 4 minutes
5 gold per minute
At level 12 onwards...
40 gold per 4 minutes
10 gold per minute
Therefore 5-10 gold per minute
Quick Match without Top 100 rank
Assume that a new player will have a rating of 150 to 300. To maintain a rating of 150 and 300 would require a win rate of 40% and 60% as per here.
Assume that each Quick Match game takes 12 minutes to play and yields 80 gold per win. Therefore...
At rating 150:
32 gold (80 x 0.40) per 12 minutes
2.7 gold per minute
At rating 300:
48 gold (80 x 0.60) per 12 minutes
4 gold per minute
Summary
- TC: 600G/min
- GE: 290G/min
- MD: 2-36G/min
- TOP100: 7-18G/min
- FBT: 5-18G/min
- FGW: 5-10G/min
- QM: 2.7-4G/min
This is the basis as to how the efficiency of all 6 methods have been depicted on the chart in the TL;DR summary whereby efficiency = gold earned / time spent earning the gold
Please note that these numbers are not a true reflection of how much gold you earn per minute. They are just ratios for comparative purposes only.
For example, TC is a reward that can only be given once a day and so in reality is it more like 50G / day. TOP100 and MD rewards are given at the end of the month and week respectively. And in reality for TOP100, it is more like 2.7-4G/min (like QM) until the end of the month when the prizes are awarded - that is when the 6-22G/min
figure is fully realised. And in reality for MD, it is more like -8G/min (because the 200G entry cost makes you lose gold per game played) until the end of the week when the gold is awarded - that is when the 5-17G/min is fully realised.
