How to Earn Gold on Gaia

A lot of people on Gaia complain that gold is too hard to earn. That's not true; in fact it's the opposite of true. Gaia gold is very easy to earn if you know what you're doing. The trick is to stay active on the website, don't waste gold, and take advantage of all the opportunities to earn gold.

1) Do the Daily Chance. At some point each day, visit each main page and to collect all the Daily Chance prizes as possible.

2) Create mule accounts. Go through the Daily Chance opportunities on the mule accounts as well to increase your daily gold intake.

3) When you sell an item, first check to see how much you can get by selling it back to the shop, then check the average price in the marketplace. Know your options before you sell; sometimes you can actually get more by selling it back to the store, if it's a store item.

4) Invest in monthly collectibles. If you can afford to buy an MC with Gaia gold, go for it! You'll be able to sell it on the marketplace for more gold later. If you can buy one or two MCs per month, go for that as well. But be careful, five dollars may not seem like a lot, but it can add up over time. If you buy two MCs each month, that's sixty dollars a year.

5) POST! Gaia is a forum website, so go to the forums, find a board you can engage in, and post away! Bumping may be an easy way to earn gold, but you'll actually earn more if you write something more. Besides, actual discussions and debates are a lot more fun than just posting "BUMP" every two minutes.

6) Go on the quests, and participate in the holiday events. Store the items and sell them when the value increases.

7) Don't waste gold! Don't buy an item from the store before checking to see if you can buy it for less gold in the marketplace. Don't enter an arena unless you think you have a good chance of winning.

8) Play games. The games don't grant a whole lot of gold, but over time the prizes do add up. Also, the tickets you win in the casino can be sold for about 2g per ticket.

With a little time and patience, you can make enough gold to get your dream avatar. Unless your dream avatar involves a golden halo or an angelic pendant, then you may need to buy a lot of cash shop items and sell them on the marketplace.
