Broke in Athenas? A Hero's Guide to Not Being Completely Pathetic (When it Comes to Gold)
Let's face it, hero work doesn't exactly pay the rent (or the villain lair's rent, depending on your alignment). You save the citizens, punch some bad guys, and all you get is a pat on the back and a participation trophy made of disappointment. But fear not, fellow hero (or villain, we're not judging), because this guide will turn your frown upside down (or your villainous scowl into a slightly less villainous smirk) and get that gold pouch overflowing like a pi�ata full of disappointment... I mean, precious metals!

| How To Get Gold In Heroes Online |
The Daily Grind: Friend or Foe?
Daily Quests: These are your bread and butter (though hopefully not your actual food source, that would be weird). Every day, three new quests pop up, and completing them nets you a decent chunk of gold. Think of it as your hero allowance. They might not be the most exciting adventures, but hey, a quick villain smackdown for some cash? We'll take it.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Word to the Wise: Don't be a hero hog! Use the free hero rotation to your advantage. Level up those neglected heroes and complete those quests with maximum efficiency. Who knows, you might even discover a new favorite hero (besides yourself, obviously, because you're amazing).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Playing the Market: From Hero to High Roller (Maybe)
Auction House: This is where the real thrill-seekers (and kleptomaniacs) hang out. You can sell unwanted loot, costumes you accidentally bought while sleep-shopping, and maybe even that slightly-used neutrino ray you don't quite need anymore. Just remember, the market can be fickle. One day you're a gold tycoon, the next you're hawking slightly singed socks to disinterested pigeons (or pigeons with surprisingly good taste).
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Pro Tip: Do your research! See what other heroes (and villains, you sneaky devils) are selling before you flood the market with your slightly-used neutrino ray collection (again, who even needs those things?).
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

Level Up, Loot Up, Cash In!
Monster Mash: Let's not forget the classic hero hustle: bashing bad guys and snagging their loot. As you level up and conquer tougher foes, the rewards get better. Just be prepared for the occasional existential crisis when you realize you're basically a glorified treasure hunter. But hey, at least you get a participation trophy made of... well, hopefully something more valuable than disappointment this time.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, try tackling some dungeons. They can be a bit tricky, but the loot is often legendary (and hopefully sellable on the Auction House, because let's be real, who needs legendary socks?).
Remember, Hero (or Villain): Great Rewards Come with Great Responsibility (and a Little Patience)
There's no magic trick to getting rich in Athenas. It takes dedication, a little bit of luck, and maybe a dash of ingenuity (like that time you convinced a baby griffon to sell all its shiny pebbles for a slightly-used neutrino ray... just kidding, don't exploit baby griffons). But with these tips in mind, you'll be swimming in gold in no time. Just be sure to spend it wisely (because let's face it, with your shopping habits, it'll probably all be gone by next week).
