Gold Farming Guide for Warcraft Rumble

The only thing better than gold is more gold

Warcraft Rumble is a mobile game that represents the return to the roots of the playstyle established in the early Warcraft games. The premise is rather simple: You gather resources, build units and structures, and dominate the opposition on the map. Progressing through the game will unlock new units, new buildings, and new maps to conquer.

How to Farm Gold in Warcraft Rumble?

Gold is one of the units you will acquire in the game. Gold is very important because it will allow you to unlock new leaders, units, and talents. Acquiring the gold is a very tedious task that requires a lot of grind. However, there are easier ways to get some precious currency.

Arclight Surge Events

Arclight Surge events take place every Wednesday and Saturday at midnight. They are by far the most efficient and easiest way to get more gold in the game. Each of Arclight Surge events lasts for three days, which gives you plenty of time to complete them before the next one begins.

During the event, you will find two random zones with blue lightning. Those zones would give you 40 gold each, or 60 if you obtained the permanent account boost. These zones can be completed rather quickly, so I highly recommend checking them out whenever you have a chance.

Zone Progression Rewards and PvP

The second best method for making quick gold is to advance through the zones, which offer respectable rewards for gold but become increasingly more difficult as you go. Although there are gold prizes in PvP as well, I strongly advise not participating in PvP until you’ve got a decent sense of the game and your Minis are level 12 or higher.

How to Manage Gold in Warcraft Rumble?

The game might tempt you to exchange your hard-earned gold for more mini-experience. I strongly advise against doing this. Playing any of the game’s content at any time will earn you experience with ease. Gold is not so easy to earn. It is a valuable resource that shouldn’t be wasted on an experience increase unless you intend to buy gold with real money.

Even though it can seem appealing to level up your Minis quickly, doing so will quickly deplete your gold, leaving you without any to spend on intriguing new Leaders, Minis, and talents.


Gold is a very valuable resource in Warcraft Rumble, which is hard to obtain and easy to spend, so you gotta be very careful with it. For more Warcraft Rumble guides, check out How to Level Up Fast in Warcraft Rumble?
