The Daily Grind: It Ain't So Bad (Unless You're Grinding Coffee Beans)
Daily Challenges: These are your bread and butter (or should we say, beans and gold?). Rockstar throws a fresh batch of challenges your way every day, and completing them nets you gold nuggets. They might involve hunting varmints, collecting plants, or hogtying griefers (which is oddly therapeutic). It's not glamorous, but hey, consistent gold is good gold. Bonus Tip: Keep that daily streak alive, partner! The longer you go without missing a day, the bigger the gold payout.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.![]()
Treasure Maps: A Pirate's Life for Me (Except Without the Sea Sickness)
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.![]()
Every five levels you rank up, you get a treasure map. These lead you on a merry treasure hunt, and the payoff can be a hefty chunk of gold. Think of it like a wild goose chase, but with a reward at the end that isn't just disappointment (looking at you, Micah). Word to the Wise: There are also hidden maps scattered around the world, but those are rarer than a kind word from Micah.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.![]()
Giddy Up, Partner! Let's Make Some Real Money
Bounty Hunter: Be the law (or at least pretend to be) and bring in those scoundrels! Bounty hunting missions pay out decent gold, and you get to play judge, jury, and executioner (or jailer, if you're feeling merciful). Just remember, bringing them in alive usually pays more, unless your aim is a little worse for wear after a night at the saloon.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.![]()
Collector: Do you have a magpie-like attraction to shiny things? Then the Collector role might be for you! Track down collectibles like antique bottles and bird eggs, and Madam Nazar will give you a pretty gold handshake for your troubles. Pro Tip: Use online maps to find these collectibles faster. Your back will thank you.
Trader: Cripps might look like he hasn't bathed since the Gold Rush, but he sure knows how to turn your perfect pelts into perfect profits. Hunt animals, skin them (humanely, of course!), and Cripps will turn them into sellable goods. The more you hunt, the more you sell, the more gold you get. Just don't anger Cripps by bringing him back a scrawny coyote – he might use it as extra stuffing for his stew.
****These are just a few ways to fill your coffers with gold, partner. Remember, consistency is key! And hey, if all else fails, you could always try robbing a bank. But just between us, that usually doesn't end well. **
So saddle up, grab your trusty steed, and get to work, partner! With a little effort (and maybe a dash of luck), you'll be rolling in gold like Scrooge McDuck in no time. Just remember to share some with Cripps, he might actually crack a smile (or at least stop muttering about that darned stew).
