TL;DR Best Farm
Stagecoach + 3 bounties + Bone Coin joker. Single-run yields ~2.4x the gold of a normal mission and 1.8x the XP. Repeat for ~6 minutes per run.
The Daily Farm Loop
- Visit saloon noticeboard, claim all 3 bounties.
- Choose mission whose biome contains 2 of those bounty targets.
- Lock Bone Coin (+1 gold per kill) by floor 2.
- Open every strongbox — they have fixed loot per run.
- Cash out after boss kill; the shop discount triggers at this point.
Best Missions for Gold
| Mission | Gold/min | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The Last Stagecoach | ★★★★★ | Fastest clear, dense kills. |
| Black Smoke Mine | ★★★★☆ | Big chest at boss, weekly cap counts here. |
| Snake in the Well | ★★★☆☆ | High XP, mid gold — Snake-Charmer joker required. |
| Hung Judge's Court | ★★☆☆☆ | Skip unless bountied. |
Joker Stack for Money Runs
- Bone Coin — flat +1 gold per kill.
- Iron Heart — keeps you alive deeper into runs = more loot.
- Last Bullet — speeds up clears so loops compress.
- (Skip damage-only jokers — they don't boost gold.)
Shop Tricks
- Vendor prices drop ~15% after each floor boss — never buy before.
- Cosmetics use a separate currency; don't panic-buy them with run gold.
- Selling the Tin-Tin starter pistol on floor 1 nets free gold.
XP vs Gold — Which Should You Stack?
XP unlocks permanent upgrades (see Best Upgrades); gold fuels in-run shopping. Early account: prioritise XP missions. Past Reload Speed II: stack gold for endgame shop power-spikes.
What Not to Farm
- Repeating the same mission 5+ times — drop rate halves after the 3rd clear.
- Bounties without the matching biome — wasted gold cap.
