Having a quick look at the information about the gold mine... does it mean that if you use 2000 gold and after the timer runs out that it turns it into 4000 gold?? :p
I guess this will be with the prime day only mining licence?


I think this is in the information after the first upgrade.

I wonder what other goodies it contains.... says it is producing precious stones...What are the precious stones used for? :)

Sounds like fun!

    From what I can gather. the precious stones sell for farm cash. And the gold nuggets sells for gold coins. I am currently waiting to understand why the 2000 and 4000 farm cash Once I know I will be back with the info

    This event really sounds fascinating to me too.

    Though any player can use regular mining licence and 2000 dollars to get precious stones but the bad thing for non-gold player (like me) is that we cannot get the gold mining licence without buying gold and thus there is no use of the second type of mining for non-gold players.:(;(

    But still I am really satisfied with what I have got. As said "Half a loaf of bread is better than none".;)

    And as Suzie, I am also eager to know how the precious stones is used....:):)

    Just reading it again... does it mean that if you buy the 50,000 gold on prime day with the 25 gold licences, that you can then turn that gold into 100,000 gold?

    If that is the case.... this is even better than their 50% extra deals!!

    in 24 hours, 2000 dollar is really nothing and about gold mining I agree with suzie4

    Sorry Suzie, but I dont think it works like that.

    You can buy 50,000 gold during the Prime Day event and you'll get 25 Gold licenses for free, which you can than use to turn 2,000 gold into 4,000 gold in the mine.

    I think Suzie is correct, with the 25 licences you could turn 50,000 gold into 100,000 gold. The only downside is that if you did it with a lvl 2 mine it would take you 50 days to do it (2,000 to 4,000 in 48 hours for each licence)

    Well Hodor, the way I looked at it.. you get 25 gold licences... so can start the mine 25 times

    If you use 2000 gold and turn that into 4000 gold, and you do that 25 times, the initial 50,000 gold (that is necessary to purchase to get the 25 licences) would then be 100,000 gold.... meaning that you could double the amount of gold you have purchased.

    Please explain to me how it works if I have it wrong..... anybody?

    Yes, with enough time, your 25 licenses will turn your 50,000 gold into 100,000 gold. Doubling your gold

    I think Suzie is right -

    Buy 50,000 gold and get 25 licences

    Spend 2,000 gold once and get 4,000 gold
    Spend 2,000 gold 25 times (outlay of 50,000 gold) and get 100,000

    so you are doubling your gold.

    Can a mod confirm or disprove this please? I'd hate to spend all that money to get 25 licences to find out Suzie and I are wrong.

    Sorry Suzie, I read your post wrong (but also agreed with what you were saying in my reply :) ) - I thought you meant that you could invest all 50,00 gold in the mine in one go, and get 100,000 back after 2 days. But yes, after 50 days you can turn your 50,000 into 100,000.

    (Sorry for the confusion).

    Ann it appears that you need to buy gold to get the gold licence through the prime day offer. Not sure if you can get the gold licence any other way. :(

    However, you can still double your money getting mining licences from your mill and then use it in the mine.

    Janni.. would be worth saving up, that is for sure!

    Ok so it costs 2000 farm cash and a license to start the mine. You don't actually get the Precious stones You just get the 4000farm cash. It works like the gourmet restaurant. You dont get the apple sauce its just automatically sold. Hope that clears up any misunderstandings. :)

    Cool to hear that you can gét one gold miners license from a task! I already had hopes that it might turn out that way, because I also find it a pity that people who can't buy gold, or not so much as needed for prime day, wouldn't be able to use the goldmine feature.

    But doubling dollars is awesome too!

    Is there the possibility for buying a gold mining license with existing gold, or farm cash? I don't have real life money to throw at this game for 50k gold and 25 licenses.

    It would be nice if we could use gold to buy them. I will see how this one goes before I invest any gold into the mine.

    Lee... just wondering did u use the 'gold licence' and pay 2000 gold to start the mine??

    If you used the normal licence (and I am presuming here as mine is still running on the first run) and that costs $2000 farm dollars, I am presuming that you would then receive $4000 farm dollars back when it finished.

    However, if you used the gold licence and paid 2000 gold to start it.... now that would be another story!

    Hi jaystarr

    No the only way to get the gold mine license is to buy the gold from the prime day giving out the gold mine licenses. You do get a free gold mine license from the 2nd task for the mine, so I have been told.

    Tempting... tempting... Although 50000 gold for 30 euros is a bit much for me XD And I am afraid once I have started doubling it, GGS will change the rate and I will not be able to double the full amount in 50 days... Lemme sleep about it for some more nights :P I do like the idea of the mine though, although 2000 dollars profit per 2 days is not really much. Indecisive~ :D:D

    I agree Larino.....I'm also considering buying gold but if I get 'jacked' midway through the fifty days then I don't really know what to do other than say I should've seen it coming :)

    wow..... that does not sound right Lee....

    What did you actually receive? You must have earned something.....

    Can somebody please explain what it all means then. My mine is still doing it's first run.... lol just over 11 hrs to go and I presume my $2000 start will turn into $4000. I was then going to try the gold option with the free licence so would really like to know what you get in return as I am sure many others would love to know!

    Lee.

    By what you say here, you got nothing at all from the mine using the gold license and gold. Then you need to go to support, using the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page. Tell them everything You did, step by step. I hope they can sort it out for you soon.

    Just as an afterthought Lee, did you upgrade the mine to level 2? Level 1 mine is for farm dollars only.
