    Oh yes, good point. The daily log in has changed recently to include mystery boxes as well.

    How often can you get the dollar mining license? I have had a max of 3 of those. (mining for dollars) And when I run out of those - how do I get more of those licenses?

    You usually find them from your Mill.

    Well barring unusual circumstance, you can only find them if you have less than 2 mining licenses. So if you are most running Gold Licenses instead, you will be stuck at 2 until you final spend one.

    Would you please explain the difference in benefits between the regular mining license and the gold mining license?

    I understand the regular license is purchased and paid off with money, and, if not won, the gold license is purchased and paid off with gold, but are there distinct benefits to one over the other?

    Are there special strategies for using the different licenses?

    I have read about a strategy to increase profits when purchasing a gold mining license, but what if you have an unused license?

    I have a gold license, but I have never used it. Thought I should educate myself before using it. I am at Level 35 with $6M and 6,664 gold accumulated. The mine is Level 2. I don't purchase gold, so it seems unlikely I will ever upgrade the mine.

    As always, thanks for the guidance.

    The only downside to using the 2000 gold to activate a license is that the 2000 gold is unavailable for 48 hours. After that time you will get 4000 gold. I don't know of anyway to change those two facts, other than spending gold to speed things up (which I don't recommend.)

    where do you buy this gold mining licence?
  • Margit kattMargit katt Posts: 153

    You can win them (very rarerly) in the wheel of fortune and buy them when you get offers. You can ONLY buy them for gold tho.

    Yes, buy gold license for 1500 gold in Omars Bazar (it worth 2.000, so you earn 500 gold on that deal) :)
    If you are very lucky, you can also get gold mine license in a mystic box.

    Thank you for the information. Based on your information of a 2,000 return on the gold license and that a new license must be won or purchased with gold, I will save my gold license until I need 2,000 more of gold.

    Oh, one last question: Does the gold license have an expiration, or time limit to be used?

    Hello grandma molly you can wait as long as you want before using the gold mine license. There is no expiring date on it.
    And if you buy gold in the giftshop there are also the offers that have sometimes licenses in the offer.
    Also there are the primeday offers and this works as follow. There is that pop up and it is written 169% more or extra valeu for you gold.Buy now 30.000 gold and you recive for example. 200 premium chicken feed. 200 pigfeed 200 cowfeed. 10 goldmine licenses and 12 tokens for the wheel of fortune.
    Sometimes you have the popup that says If you buy 30.000 gold this money will fill up a watertube with a red line. If that is full you recive 25 goldmine licenses (i had that 1 time) also that gold that you have bought you still can use it for expanding or buying deco,s. So you have than 25 x 2000,- gold extra in the next 50 days.

    I hope you are now well informed gr and happy farming

    Okay, here's another question: With no expiration date on gold mining licenses, and other opportunities to acquire multiple licenses, is it possible for me to buy several licenses with my current gold?

    I ask this because once I mistakenly hit an icon to spend gold for the purpose of completing an upgrade or harvest. I was so sad to see 600 gold vanish needlessly. If I stored my gold in licenses, granted there would a 48-hour delay, I could safe guard my gold from my clumsy fingers.

    Can you think of a reason not buy extra licenses?

    Hello g-m molly yes you can buy licenses at that vending trolley from omar. The old chap who has his bazar.The only thing is that you only gain 500 gold with each licenses and you have to look every 10 minutes to see what the next offer will be.
    I prefer buy gold when there is a special 100-200% extra gold offer : you buy 30.000 gold and you get 90.000 if you have the 200% offer. And if you are lucky and that water tube is filled up, you get 25 licenses and at the end of that time period from prime day another gift. Tokens,deco or money ( bf $$$)

    So is it possible for us who don't buy gold packages to purchase a single gold mining certificate from the Bazaar? I only see Omar selling a certificate with casino chips, and I end up losing gold in this investment (500 gold less each time I make such a purchase, as activating the mine costs an additional 2000 gold). I have played the casino numerous times, and didn't getting a gold certificate is like winning the real lottery: one in a million!

    Omar does offer 1 Gold License for 1500 gold (So if you have 3500, you can make 4000 gold).

    Yep, Omar also sells a single gold license - it costs 1,500 gold, therefore by buying it you get 500 gold for free ;-) (Of course when buying, don't forget about those 2,000 that you need for activating the mine).

    Hooray, found a screen - here's the proof (sorry, it's in Czech but the picture speaks for itself :o). Lucky streak of mine :D

    The good news is there's a better chance to catch this offer than winning the licence at the wheel of fortune (which I did only once but got the license from Omar like 10 times).

    Benny also shows up in his red truck from time to time. Sells the MYSTERY BOXES for 250 gold each.

    The prize is random and can sometimes be a gold mining license.

    In addition, you can get mystery boxes for free as a daily log in prize OR when your coop reaches a certain RP value during the cooperative challenge event. In that sense, and if you're lucky, you'd get a license for free.

    I don't think I've ever been offered by Omar to buy just a gold mining license. When was the last time someone found one at the bazaar?

    I found one about 2 hours ago. They are fairly rare and as such, I have not seen any the last 2 time Omar was here. Keep checking and sooner or later you should come across one.

    Okay. I will. I guess it's the luck of being online at the right moment. Kind of similar to the Casino in that sense. Never know what I'll find either at the bazaar or the wheel of fortune!

    So true. I actually just missed the second one for today. There was 2 min left on the countdown till it was purchasable and in the meantime, Omar left. So disappointing because it was practically within reach.

    Woah woah woah, hold the phone-- does this mean Omar can offer things for absolutely free sometimes? Does that only apply to Farm Dollar packages, or can anything receive a 100% discount?

    Lucky streak indeed!

    It's only farm dollars packages Omar give away for free.
    And their size depends on your doghouse level. If you have a doghouse level 7, the free dollar package always will be 100.000, if you doghouse is a lower level Omar's free offer also will have a lower value which will be the same as the dollar gift your dog sometimes find to you.

    I got a gold mining licence offer only once in the last few months that too at a time when I had just spent all the gold and did not have enough to buy the licence.

    I beg to differ with you. I've always thought the amount of dollars for free is based on the player's level. And the fact that my doghouse is at level 5 and I still get 100,000 tells me I'm closer to the truth than you ;-)
