Pro Tips for Fast Leveling
Complete Daily Requests
Never miss your 5 daily requests! They reset at 6 AM and don't carry over. This is your most reliable source of medals.
Focus on Main Story
The main storyline not only gives medals but unlocks essential features. Don't neglect story progression!
F2P Friendly
Paid members only get a 1.1x gold multiplier - F2P players earn the same amount of medals. Stay consistent!
Check Weekly Tasks
Weekly tasks often give larger medal rewards. Plan your gameplay around completing these objectives.
