Can you in the game earn gold besides buy it?

    If you log on every day there is free gold on the fourth day of the five day cycle

    You get gold for levelling up

    A couple of tasks reward you with gold too

    You can earn a little bit of gold, yes.
    The way to earn gold:
    -finish quests, especially in the beginning gold is a reward often, higher levels don't get it from quests (often) any more = 50 gold
    -level up! Levelling up will give you some gold as well = 50 gold
    -log in daily. If you log in daily, each 4th day will give you some gold = 30 gold

    I need more gold. Honestly. I don't want to pay for some either, so other than leveling up, what's the fastest way to earn the yellow stuff (no, not the stuff that you excrete...yeah I'll just stop talking)?

    Other than leveling up, you also get gold for completing a certain task (such as join a cooperative) and as a daily log-in bonus on the fourth day. And if you're lucky, you can also win some in a Forum contest. ^^

    Free gold is given ...
    ... when you level up
    ... on the 4th (and sometimes 5th) day of the regular log in cycle. The log in cycle was revamped on Tuesday so this might not be accurate
    ... on completion of some tasks
    ... by taking part in certain forum events. There is currently 2500 gold if you are successful in the Take Tessa on Holiday forum event
    ... by taking part in certain Facebook events, but there is not one running at the moment

    You don't need any gold to work your farm but you will then need more patience :)

    Ali the trader sometimes has gold mining licenses for 1500 gold. Those are a good deal. It costs you 2000 gold to start the mine, and then when the mining is finished you get 4000 gold, so Ali's mining licenses give you 500 free gold.

    sign up for Bing rewards ( it's free, does no harm). They have a rixty card to redeem there. GGS accepts rixty as a form of payment.

    I don't think (I'm not sure) the Tessa event is still active. The winners were posted on Facebook & I haven't seen any winners posted since. Hopefully a CM can confirm if its active or not. If not the thread should be closed. :p

    GGS has forum events from time to time which will give you a chance to win gold. Watch the Official Announcements for information.:)

    Do you mean Ali or Omar? If there's someone else with licenses, I'd like to know who it is. I've got 4k gold on one account and 6k on another, ready and waiting to snap up the discounted licenses when they appear. I'm SOOO glad GGS added that feature around the time I discovered it was actually worth it to spend gold.

    I notice no one has mentioned the fact that the 5-day login cycle is actually part of a much larger [secret] 80-something day login cycle and that before the revamp, the fifth day would sometimes give gold. Larino has the old cycle posted at Larino's Corner if I remember right (linked through her signature).

    The new 5 days cycle gives a mystic box. Today in mine there was 100 premium chicken feed.
    Since I'm don't care about exp. points, and I don't have any problems to make enough feed to my animals, these chicken feeds are totaly worthless for me. :(

    The previous 5 day cycle was actually an 85 day cycle. 17 lots of 5 days cycles with day 5 varying. You can see the old cycle in wiki Daily log in Bonus.

    I suspect the new cycle is similar so you will get a Mystery box at some time, it just might take nearly three months depending where you are in the cycle

    You get daily bonuses and occasionally get small amounts as rewards for various sidebar tasks. Pickings are slim though. Your best bet is to save what you have until you get 2,000, then you can double it using a gold license at the mine.

    And the horse ranch gives you 300 free gold too. ^^

    And by going level up :)

    You get 1 free goldmining license when you upgrade the mine to lvl 2, I agree with Smurf to save up to 2000 and use the license to double it.

    Or, if you haven't done it yet:
    Upgrade mine to level 2 to get free gold mining licence and save up 3000 gold. Get a task to mine gold. Start gold mine with 2000 gold and get 300 gold extra for completing the task.

    If you've mined gold before but didn't have the task yet: have 3000 gold and a gold mining licence to make it appear.

    If gold is in short supply, be cautious as to how you spend it. Some pointers here: http://turtleoatsgang.weebly.com/strategy.html

    You can also, once you have more than 3500 gold stored up.. buy Gold Licences from Omar (or win them at the end of the Horse races) to keep things going. You need 3500 for Omar to work (you net 500). But you only need to have 2000, to make the Horse racing licenses work.

    In the horse competition you can win mystery boxes In those can be gold. When you finish in Golden league you get 300 gold, When you finish in a Higher league you get mining lisences. When you are very lucky on the wheel of fortune you can win a mining lisence (I once did) I've reached level 132 at this moment and never bought gold. At one point I had over 8000 gold.

    One small correction. Tessa on holiday is not running any more. And to add to the list:
    - you can find some gold in mystery boxes
    - you can won a gold mining licence in mystery boxes and on a weel of fortune
    - you can buy a gold mining licence from Omar for 1500 gold (giving you 500 gold free)
    - You can win it on horse tournament (golden league = 300 gold, platinum= gold mining licence, diamond = 2x gold mining licence)

    Have in mind: 1 gold mining licenece + 2000 gold = 4000 gold (in mine). So one gold mining licence gives you 2000 gold, if you have a 2000 gold already on accound.
