Gold, as well all know, is a critical resource in Need For Speed. It's the "second currency", the one the publishers try everything to get us to pay real money for, and, given the topic of this blog, that's what we're trying out best to avoid doing.
Besides the gold prizes for races (mostly in car series and events), the best way to get a decent daily income is to complete "assignments", so let's take a closer look at these.
Assignments
Here's the full list, with the possible gains:
Assignment gold xp
--------------------------------------------
win 12 races 2 25
nitro boost for 60 seconds 1 10
drift 800m 2 25
use 20 fuel 2 25
open 5 free crates 2 25
win 5 races in the underground 2 25
win 3 tournament races 4 40
get airborne for 30 seconds 2 25
complete 9 daily assignments 5 100
win 3 races in car series 2 25
rebuild 2 parts 3 50
install 3 materials 1 10
win 2 tuner trial races 4 40
If we were to get these all done, we'd be at a grand total of 32 gold and 425 xp. Not bad! But we usually won't be able to do that, since not all of them are achievable all the time. Still, let's take a closer look at each of them.
- win 12 races - that's pretty much a given, each 10 fuel should yield between 3 and 5 races, so check in three times a day, and you got that one done.
- nitro boost for 60 seconds - same here, comes automatically with some farming
- drift 800m - I did mention the importance of drifting, so this should be done after the first race :)
- use 20 fuel - again, a no-brainer
- open 5 free crates - given that the number of free crates one gets per day is at least 5, that's not hard either
- 5 underground races - farm for blueprints, and that's not a problem
- 3 tournament races - now, that of course only works if there's a tournament on, and you have a car to race with. So that's usually an optional one.
- airborne for 30s - that's quite a long time, but usually comes with farming, since the easydrive autopilot does go for jumps, if not for drifting.
- 9 daily assignments - that's what we want to get to every day
- 3 car series races - we farm car series for conversion kits, so if you're currently not after those, maybe not something we get every day
- rebuild 2 parts - that's a bit more rare to get
- install 3 materials - that one is more common
- 2 tuner trial races - this one just came in with the update. Nice that they haven't upped the total number of achievements from 9 to 10 for the 5 gold bonus, so here's another easy one for the daily list
Conclusion
All in all, if you're playing intensively, you can avoid paying outrageous amounts for gold in the shop by ticking these regularly, especially the 5 gold one.
