Oi! Thanks again M8! ;)

Yes, I was meaning to say the Keeper kit. My friend told me it was the Bodyguard kit though. Sorry about that. :mellow: And on the account I was talking about, it only has 16k. It will not have enough crystals by Sergeant-Major to get the Fighter kit. That's why I want the Keeper kit soon. So it will last a long time.

If you were a First Sergeant, would it be good to buy the Bodyguard kit? Please answer thx! ;)

Please don't comment yet. Pretend this doesn't exist yet. Thanks! CAN YOU PLEASE NOT POST ANYTHING YET!!!!

EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS GUIDE!!! IT IS NOT YET FINISHED! I ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE 'POST' BUTTON :blush:. THIS EDIT WILL BE GONE WHEN IT IS READY! THANKYOU! PLEASE DO NOT READ, COMMENT OR LIKE THIS GUIDE!! IT IS NOT FINISHED YET! WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!!! PLEASE!!! Hello Tankers, and welcome to the HIGHLY awaited sequel to the Greatest Guide Series! After winning by a land slide in my last guides poll, and am more then happy to make a guide on a topic that intrests me. I'm also exicted that YOU were the ones that chose it. First I'd like to thank you all for a shocking 1000 veiws and 22 likes on the last guide! Along with 44 comments! Oh and I'd also like to say that I do not claim to be a PRO!@!21@#!!$@!%@!#%!#!@#!23 (Notice how I stole that froms the Newspaper Issue 52: Are you a Pro? Hope NightSisters doesn't mind! Hehehe. :lol:) I just claim to know what the hell I'm doing! Ladies and Gentletanks, without any further ado, I am proud to give you... The Greatest Guide Series: Saving and Earning Crystals in TO. Intro: Imagine this: You're constantly the weakest tank on the battle field. Even with Wasp you struggle to keep up with Hunters and with Mammoth your health is less than a Viking's!! Your score is so low it's not even on the list and you are getting laughed at non-stop in the chat and on the forum. "What could it be?!" You think as sit there getting rext. "I'm a Marshal, isn't that suppose to be a high rank?" Then, it hits you. It's not your rank, it's your equipment. You have M1 Mammoth, M1 Smoky, M1 Firebird, M0 Hunter and Isida, Blue, Red, Orange, Green and Black paint. "Oh no!" you cry "I'm a NO0B!!!" Upset, you stump into your garage and cry in a corner about how much of a failure you are. But then, a dark figure swoops over you. You look up and see a dashingly good looking tanker! (*Ahem* That's me *Ahem*) They have M4 Ricochet, M4 Hunter and are dressed in the legendary Champion paint. Blinded and speechless by this tanker's awesomeness they break your awkward silence. "Hey, Wanna get some M3 equipment?" You sniffly and wipe the tears of oil dripping down your face, "Uh, yeah" Then the tanker says "Well then, get up. We're going on a bumpy ride!" EarningCrystals: There are quite a lot of different ways to earn crystals,And you should try and abuse them as much as you can. I can almost garentee that you will learn at least 1 new method to earn crystals. These are all the different ways. Battle Funds Gold Boxes Giveaways Contests Surveys Linking your Email to your TO account Buying with real money Inviting others Daily Missions "We missed you" Tanki rewards I'm pretty sure that's it. Let me know if a missed anything. In this section we will talk about all their methods listed above and how to use them effectively and effetently. Battle Funds: This is probably the most popular and common way to do it. It's actually very simple. All you have a to do is enter the game, join a battle and play your hardest! I know that a lot of you probably already know this but I'm going to say it anyway for the newer players. At the bottom right corner of you screen, those crystals over there, that is not ALL for you. This is the amount that gets spilt equally among all the tankers in the battle at the end of the game. This battle fund rises when every you kill someone, capture a point or flag, and assist in killing a tank (That last one is not in DM). So essentially the more experience you get equal the more crystal you make at the end of the battle! But, you should take this to mind. The team that is winning, get the higher battle fund. This is why some players play DM all the time (Personally, I find team battles more fun) because they don't have to rely on team which oin some cases leads to a lower fund :(. DM's are all about YOUR skills in the game. Nobody else can drag you down. I think we've all been in that situation where we try our hardest and still lose because our couldn't stop multing to get kills or they won't help you capture a point or flag. Even though it is not my favorite or most played game mode, Death Match is the best gamemode for earning crystals. Keep in mind that if you wish to earn lots of crystals from battle funds you should actually play the game OFTEN!!! Don't just log on once every week or so, this will earn you less money. And if you here right know, that means you want more money b)!! Gold Boxes: You probably already know. (if you read my last guide) I... LOVE.... GOLD BOXES! :lol: Well at really high ranks (like Marshal) 1k is something to laugh at. For Corprals however, it is a treasure :D! Though even to you Generalissimo's reading this. 1k may be a small amount, but at least it's something. Plus Tanki has been known to increase their value on speacil occasions, going up to 50k once :O!!! (Yes, I'm talking about 2016 April Fools day) If you really want to know more about Gold Hunting, read my previous guide. Giveaways: Tanki Online is constantly giving away cool prizes that sometimes do contain, crystals. Not only Tanki but also famous Youtubers and social media too. If you wish to enter one I recommend keeping in touch with the news and visiting famous Youtubers channels. Contests: They are everywhere! Contest are a very hard but effective way to earn crystals. I enter them all the time (Though I never win :()! However the competition is very hard. Esspically the competitions announced in the Blogs and on the homepage. I recommend signing up for as many as you can. Contests are hard. Other than the battle feild, this is where the talented truly shine :). Some talents Tanki is looking for are: Art Drama Writing Humour Keep in mind, not everyone goes on the forum. Try and use that as much as you can. Not all tankers read the Newspaper. Sign up for Newspaper contests, you normally have a high chance of winning. They also have less requirements and happen often. Though the prizes aren't as good and they still take lots of talent. Surveys: Ocassinally, TO awards I few thousand crystals for answering a survey. You will get notified opon logging in. Make sure you look for these opportunities! :D Linking your email to your TO account: This is simple. When you log in, give Tanki your email address and get a reward of 1000 crystals! It also helps keep Tanki happy and your account safe! So it's a win-win! K-CHING b) Buying Crystals with real money: Oh this a way dreaded by many tankers (me included, I never buy!) It is easily the easiest and most effective way to get money. Sure I don't buy, but I don't think buying is all that bad. I mean the buyers are the ones who keep TO alive, right? That doesn't mean encourage senselessly forwarding all your Daddy's credit cards for a video game :mellow:. If you want to, buy a healthy amount of crystals, but keep in mind nobodies forcing you to. If you want to buy without spendimg too much money, you can do this; Make a new account, and buy like 25k on it. Then you can rank a little bit and combine all the tricks I taught you tonearm an amazing kit like Predator at Sergeant Major and become very OP. And you'll never need be buy again! Inviting Others: I have never actually done it this way but here it goes! Invite your friend (Or yourself :P) to the game via email. Then you get a certain amount of crystals whenevery they rank up or buy crystals! Daily Missions: We should all know these. You can do a max of 3 a day. Though you can also do Daily Mission trains for up to 4 weeks! (Keep in mind the prizes aren't that huge for Daily Mission trains. More information about that here T) The main reason why we are discussing this is for the Daily Mission that reward you with Crystals! :D As a WO 3 you can get up to 800 crystals from complete on of the easy-to-do task! Sadly, they aren't as common as things like Nitro rewards :(. In order to constantly get the crystal mission without spending to much is to change a mission that you don't like. Example: For me this would be "Earn Experince on Industrial Zone". And only change it once (Maybe twice) to increase the chance of getting the crystals. Keep in mind that the first time you change a mission during the day, its free! Although the cost rises with every change so don't do it more than twice, or else you might be in debt! "We missed you!" Tanki Rewards: You probably didn't think of this way huh? ;) Every 2 months or so, if you don't log on you account. Tank I gives you a bunch of supplies and.... wait for it...... CRYSTALS!!! :O As a welcome back gift b). The way to use this effectively is to use an account, any account really, and play for about to 2 years on it while constantly collecting the 'We Missed You!" gift. What... yeah... that's right I said 2 years. Ooohh that's too long for you. Well this way takes patients to be effective. It also works well on new accounts in where you can get Cupid kit at Staff-Sergeant. Or you could do this while playing a different game. Its your choice really, this way may be unique but... it's very ineffective. :( Whew! That was quite a big section! But were not done yet :P! Bear with me guys as we head into.... Saving Crystals: Okay, first things first. You can just buy everything because it's on sale! If you want a successful TO career you have to be PATIENT! This is the golden word when it comes to saving up crystals. I mean if you spend all your crystal when there is not even a sale, or have horribly crystal management. Your Tanki career will fall down hill :(. You have to buy what is nesseary and what will last long. Not just that cool new Turret because your friend said was SOOO good. Buy things that your good at and enjoy. That being said, don't be afraid to try something new. Here are some examples of what I mean buy buying what is necessary and what will last long. You should not go ahead and buy something like the Graffiti paint because it looks cool. When meanwhile you almost never see Vulcans or Twins and they barely annoy you. This is an example of getting something unnecessary. You should not get the Ant kit at General because M3 Isida isn't considered strong at that rank outside of healing and M2 Wasp, like all the other M2's, is simply not made for such a high rank. So the only beneficial thing from this kit at General is the Ibris paint. However, Isida isn't as common to here unless it's an M4. This is an example of a purchase that would not last long. (Duh!) Okay so, saving up crystals doesn't mean not buying anything. Though on the other hand it doesn't mean blowing away you crystals. Next section!!! Using Kits and Sales to Your Advantage: Let's start with kits, ahh what a beautiful thing they are :wub:. I love these things. Not only are they helpful but it feels great when you purchase one! Product Kits are packages of items in the game. But I'm going yo talk about the Turret, Hull and paint ones. Each one of these kits provide a turret, hull and paint! They can range of discount from 35% off to 65% of!!!! :) They also give you items that you would normally get at higher ranks! (i.e. Predator kit unlocks M1 Thunder at Sergeant-Major while it normally unlocks at WO 4!) It can't get any better, you must be thinking. While it does. After purchasing your kit you get A TON of FREE supplies that suits the tank and hull you purchased :O! (i.e. At kit with Isida giving Say you've been eying M2 Wasp and M2 Railgun for ages. Then when you rank up to Colonel you buy them both. Is this a good use of kits and sales, NOOOO! In this situation you can make use of sales by buying this during one. This will save you crystals. So just wait a little longer, Tanki has sales all the time Or even better you can make use of Kits and buy the Mosquito kit. This will get you the turret and hull of your dreams at Captain and be at 40% off!!! You'll also get the Savanna paint as well. So make smart choices.

Okay everyone, the time has come b). I'm am going to make a new guide. Yes a second guide to the serie., I got a nice amount of likes, views, votes and comments. But the most wanted guide was... Earning and Saving up crystals in TO! :D Which is ,lucky, something I'm fimilar with. (Unlike being a good teammate :lol:) I'm going to start working on it so stay alert tankers! ;)

Option 2

http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=307372&page=1 Gold Hunting Guide.

Ummmmm. O.K.

Definitely, The Boar kit.

It's nice to hear others opinions. But I love Gold Hunting! Sorry.

I know right!

Awww, that stinks. I just got back from a 3 day weekend camping trip! Lots of fun! :D Though I was hoping for another issue. :( Oh well! I understand. :mellow:

Awww. That stinks :( ... Oh well! :)

$$$$$$$$$$ :lol: :D

Cmon!!! What's the delay!? We want the contest results!!!

What are you saving up for? That M2 Vulcan and Viking kit?

They better have the New Newspaper on this week! I don't want to wait for the results of the Caption This competition for to long!!! Hope I win! :) :lol:

I can't wait to see who won!!!!

Oh yes, I'd love to talk about Hunter. This hull is my favourite for Gold Hunting and is something I know alot about! :) Hunter: Well it may have very weak pushing power. This hull is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Gold Box Hunting. Being the second tallest hull (Tied with Titan and right after Dictator) it can easily snatch the Gold before any Hornet's and Viking's can dream of touching it! :lol: (Hornet and Viking are the lowest hulls, though Viking is shorter) It also has great speed and decent health so it works great on all maps when Gold Hunting (It's the best all-a-rounder right after Dictator. And it works best meduim maps.) As long as you have a repair kit and/or a DA ready, you don't have to worry about dieing. Plus you almost always find the Drop Zone and you can make jumps for the Gold easily with the speed advantage.And on flat ground Golds you also have the height advantage and the only other tall competition are Titans and Dictators. Well Hunter is amazing! (My favorite Hull actually) It also has its share of downsides. :( The most notably one being is low power. (or pushing force.) On flat ground Titans and Vikings can push you away from the Gold with ease. This is a problem. Also your a little bit on the light end of the spectrum, well this make you a little easier to shove around. It also lets you perform the necessary jumps for catching a Gold Box. In conclusion, Hunter is diverse and amazing hull for gameplay and catching Gold Boxes, and will always remain my favourite! :wub: Thankyou. :D

Dude, have you seen his equipment! He needs to get a good kit now. M0 Twins will not last till First Lieutenant. (No offense)

I personally would get Tornado kit. Though Boar kit is better I've play a lot of Ricochet and want to try something new. Your not a guy who plays WAAYY to much Ricochet like me so go for the Boar kit.

Thanks for the advice! :) All the best regards getting Boar kit!

Nicccee! I love the guide b) Even though I don't play this mode! :lol:

Ignore the personal discount. Get M2 Smoky at the sale in May, ts 25% off. :-)
