The Gold Box Supply - How to use it?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello, and welcome Ladies and Ladaas, today, I'm going to explain some Tanki Trends which depend on the Gold Box Supply. Uhm, let's move down to the common questions asked by the people.

 

 

  1. What is a Gold Box?
    A: It is a supply box, which falls on a map at a specific drop-zone, but a lot rarer than other supplies. It is also known as the Heart of Tanki Online.
  2. The Gold Box falls rarely as you said. How can we come to know if the Gold Box is falling?
    A: Easy. 30 seconds prior to dropping, there will be a siren buzzing, as a notification to tell us, that the Gold box will drop. If you look at the top of your screen you can see something like this:

                                                           Gold box will be dropped soon
  3. What happens if we catch a gold box?
    A: It's really hard to catch a gold box. You need skills and some luck too just to catch it. If you take/catch a gold box, you'll get 1000 crystals as a reward. You'll be notified as you see on top :  
                                                    
    RandomNug123 has taken the Gold box

What is a Gold Box Supply?
A: Gold Box supply is a recent concept added by Tanki Online. Since this is an added supply to the game, you can use it yourself. The supply is available in the c2c36f6c25c14a10860c4a65ee2148d9.png. Also for non-buyers, you can get this Supply, by completing Special Missions or winning in some contest ( :D ). To activate supply, you need to press "6" while in battle, with Supplies and Gold Boxes "ON"! A siren will sound and the same process...30 seconds of waiting and you can see something in the sky, which is a gold box. This is how this looks like :

                                    RandomNug123 has dropped the Gold Box

​​Still not familiar enough with the supply? These pics in the spoiler may help you:

To locate the gold box in shop, enter the shop first, then scroll down. Below crystals and premium, you can see "Gold Boxes." Also, you can click the Gold Box Button in the section above.

Non-Buyers, no worries. There is no need to be sad, as Tanki has also provided a way so that Non-Buyers too, can have access to this "6" key. Yup, as mentioned above, there are gonna be special missions, rewarding "Gold Box Supplies" as Reward. These missions can reward from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 gold box(es) depending on your rank and also your difficulty of your mission. 

Like, catching one gold box can reward you with 5 gold box supplies, if you are a Generalissimo.

But, earning 500 XP in TDM, as a LEGEND can reward you 2 gold supplies.

Well guys, I repeat. These are rare missions, not as rare as Super Missions and XT missions, but they are rare. Wait. Did I say Super missions? YUP I DID! Sorry, I forgot to say, you can get Gold Boxes as reward, in Super Missions as well! These are only for Generalissimos and Legends

 

For a Generalissimo: 67 Gold Boxes, for completing 'Earn Experience in Battles' Mission (99999 XP) AND 83 Gold Boxes for completing 'Destroy Enemies' Mission (9999 Kills)

 

For a Legend: 70 Gold Boxes, for completing 'Earn Experience in Battles' Mission (99999 XP) AND 87 Gold Boxes for completing 'Destroy Enemies' Mission (9999 Kills)

 

More Information, in the V LOG 101

 

 

 

Talking about, how can we use this wonderful supply, these are some trends famous in the game.

 

Note: Some of these trends can prove to be really expensive. This luck is only for people who buy loads of gold boxes and also their lucky friends who are invited to these events. 

 

1. Gold Rains

Well, as I said, an expensive thought. A lot of money! Then you make a battle, parkour and get in. Invite your trusted peeps. Tell them to be ready with a good equipment and start dropping. A very common topic for a brilliant youtube video, with a huge number of likes and positive comments. For this, you must have enough money on hand and control on your hands, so that you don't drop even 1 gold more than required, as we all know, 1 gold = 1$  :o That's expensive for me. Note, there is a difference between Rain and Montages. If you are dropping golds 1 by 1, it's a montage and if you drop all at a time, that's a rain!

 


  

2. Gold Montages

Another Expensive thought, but not as much, as the one above. You go into a random map, start playing, in the middle you press "6" once and the gold drops. Up to your choice, you create a Let's Play Video (with golds) or a Gold Montage, or a Fail Montage. The video is expected to have Epic Editing. The spoiler below has links to a gold montage and a link to a Let's play with golds. 

 

 


 

3. Race for Golds (RFG)

A new concept, which does not cost much either, but a really interesting one, which gives all the participants, equal chances of taking the gold. For this, there are some preparations. 

The map should be Madness (some have tried out new maps too, though) and comprises of less players (5-10), so the event progress is smooth. All players are ordered to have Mammoth and Isida (or any turret with no recoil). Also, it's up to organizers, they can decide any new equipment combinations too. All have to gather at the topmost place in Madness, and then the gold drops. All have to rush and the one who takes the gold, of course, is the winner :D

 


 

4. Save the Gold (STG)

This is not a newly created concept, we all know about STG. But, this concept has been made simpler due to the update. You need not play for hours and hours waiting for a gold to drop, with Firebird+Wasp. A guy presses "6", gold comes down and you save it. A very easy process after the update. Also, STG's with Multiple golds is possible after the update. In V Log 101, the devs mention a video of saving 28 GOLD BOXES, in the map Molotov by a Famous Tanki Youtuber - Sencha. Wanna learn more on STG, the guide is here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=338924

 


 

5. Golden Map

Cost Alert: This is the costliest and most expensive trend. Not possible for even common buyers who buy 10 - 20 golds. Why? Here, we fill the whole map, with golds!!! IMAGINE! A map full of Golds!!! Not too many days after Halloween, I got this pic:

About this event: Try this. Download the above pic. Rotate it 90 degrees, down and anticlockwise. Yes, you are right! You see a pumpkin-face. Mind-blowing IMAGINATION!!! Wonderful isn't it? If you fill the whole map with golds you see a special sign or symbol in the centre?

 

More Info:

 

My friend has done this Event of Golden Map, on the last day of Halloween Map. He has used 120 gold boxes for this rain. Let's see what he says.

 

: It was a wonderful experience for me. I was looking to do something wonderful right from day 1 when the Halloween plans were discussed in V-Log. Me and my friends discussed a lot about this and I decided to make the Halloween Map golden. I'd like to do that every holiday.

 


 

6. Gifting a friend

 

This is not a bad idea either, where you gift a gold box to wish your friend a Happy Birthday, or congratulate him/her for a Rank up, or winning something. Your friend would like it more than any other Blue Sphere xD! It is simple, make a Duel Map, or any map with 2 player space, join, drop a gold, cover it with mines and invite a friend. Tell him that you are gifting him a gold. Watch him take it. The experience on either side is wonderful. Also, if you don't want to waste too many mines, plant a mine or 2 beside gold zone, reveal the fact that you have mined here and tell him to go through. It can be a nice take :D

Some screenshots of friends gifting golds to me. 

 

Thanks to and for these.

Actually, I won a contest organized by Adnan. He creates a map (2 people) and posts link. The one who joins is the lucky player, who gets 1 gold or more, depending on him.

A personal opinion on this supply: 

@I3.R.0 : Well, yes, I like this supply. On a personal note, I feel it'd be better if the chances of the gold mission are increased. I can't demand Tanki to provide purchasing of golds, in exchange of crystals. That's utter nonsense, isn't it? If you can buy golds for crystals? How much will you value? If you say as a gold has 1k in it, so we value it 1k..Hello peeps, this supply, when activated, INSTANTLY drops a gold box. As compared to random gold, it's a bonus. You can drop it wherever and whenever you want. So much of advantages, so you can't value it as 1000 crystals. On the other hand, you can't value it to 10000 either, as it would be too much as far as "1" gold box is concerned. Instead I'd suggest playing a Polygon CP battle with Random golds. So, I suggest if Missions are only a chance to get this supply, then the mission chances, should be a little higher, that the supply is available easily and the gold is not devalued. That's it from me ;) I expect more and more updates about this. This is a wonderful supply.

 


 

Well guys, these were some trends which become possible after the introduction of the Gold Supply. I know, there will be many more, which unfortunately I may not have been able to mention here, but as you all know, IMAGINATION is the limit. 

 

Thank you for reading guys, Hit "Like" if you really loved this article. Stay tuned for more, Cheers!

I think I will do a Gold Map. Maybe on a Christmas map. 

 

I know that the drops automatically stop once all the drop points are occupied.

You're right. Once they are occupied, drops stop. But you can continue dropping. Say, a random map has 5 drop zones, and I have 10 golds on hand. It's a parkour map and I place a brick on "6". I lose all my golds, but I see only five on ground. This is because the whole map is occupied. Some people came to me and they asked me whether 2 golds can drop in same zone. The answer is "NO" they can't. Plus of course, if one of the 5 golds in the map, is taken, we hear the siren again, and one of the remaining 5 drops.

Yes. I tried to drop 20 in Rio earlier this week, but only got up to 18 before it stopped.

I also use Golds in CTF, when my team scores a 7th cap, I drop 7 golds - "Lucky 7".

For RFG, Madness seems best, but also Osa. I use Shaft when dropping because sometimes no one finds the drop so I would use the beam as a beacon to move things along.

As I said, IMAGINATION is your limit. There are pretty more types of Events, and many modifications of events as well. It really depends on the imagination of the respective organizer.
