best ways to earn crystals

What will I tell you? A mysterious way? For sure, playing + completing the daily/weekly missions and challenges, etc.. is the only way to earn crystals.

And FYI, nowadays earning crystals is such a really easy thing.. you can in just a few days collect more than 100K crystals.. Do you know in the last sales (I think that before 1 week) I become a bankrupted of crystals, but now I have 135K of crystals (though I spent today 10K of them). Without even I feel that my crystals have increased.

So I don't see crystals is in the concern anymore.

Don't believe me? Look you have earned 898K crystals in your Tanki journey, and this amount of crystals is just from the battle rewards. Not including the missions and containers (the most crystals are from them).

Shards, Shards and advertisements - farm shard containers!

Agree with you except in this, because watching Advertisements is such a wasting of time with a hard pressure and no enjoyment. I don't think there are a decent way to collect crystals for yourself than the playing. Watching ads is directly contradicts with the meaning of the gameplay.

It's only tedious if you make it so. Just set your phone's alarm to go off every hour, open the app, play the ad, close app, repeat an hour later. If you do it 15 times during the day, that's 1.5 containers on which you spent a total of <15 minutes of effort to acquire. If you also do your daily missions, that's an additional 1.5 containers, plus one you get from shards over time. Heck, if you have multiple accounts, you can just log in on each of them every day and collect a free container, and that's 30 containers per account, per month you get with pretty much zero effort.

I now have did a quick calculations with the daily missions/weekly missions/challenges, and I realized that you can get an average of 2.5 containers per day (with exception of Ultra weekends). I think this is very enough amount of containers per day that means 5 containers every two days.

Opening the app just to watch an ad, alone is a toughy mission, but opening it multiple times in the day with no intention of playing is not a pleasant thing. For sure it's a thing that back to the player himself, but for me I see it's very unpleasant.

No, I hope they remove this feature. Disgusting, I don't like to see someone wasting a time like that instead of a real playing?

Well, technically there isn't a hard limit on how many containers you can get per day from watching ads, due to the fact that you can watch a new ad and get another 10 shards after every time you finish a battle on TO Mobile. I still haven't fully figured out the requirements for "finishing a battle", but so far it just seems that you need to maintain activity in battle, and perhaps get a minimum score requirement. This means that you can watch an ad and then get put into a battle that ends 30 seconds later, and as long as you get something like 30 score, you can watch an ad again after the battle ends.

So if we assume the absolute best case scenario where you finish battles in 30 seconds, watch an ad in 20 seconds, and leave 10 seconds for loading, that gives you a rate of 10 shards per minute, or 6 containers per hour. Obviously this is going into the realm of impossible probabilities, but technically it can be done.

How many containers per day you consider to be a reasonable amount is completely your own personal decision. I remember when shards were first added and for a few days you didn't have to finish battles to watch new ads, I would sit in the office at work with a 7-minute timer on my PC screen, and tap the ad button on the phone every time it reset. I was getting 15 containers per day, and it barely interfered with my life. In fact, I'd argue it made the work day more fun since it felt like there was more purpose to sitting in the office and doing mundane office tasks :rolleyes:

I'm sure devs accounted for how this feature will affect the game's economy. When people watch ads, it actually brings them a ton of profit, since it costs up to $0.16 to show one ad to one user. Therefore if you watched 10 ads, AlternativaGames just earned $1.60 from Google AdSense and gave you a container in exchange for your time.

As for the free shards over time — I was indeed very surprised when it turned out that you don't need to be online in order to passively collect shards, but I suppose that was also accounted for, because it makes people log in more often, which exposes them to in-game popu-ups and makes them more likely to check out the shop or perhaps play a battle or two.

We have gotten many ways to earn Crystals. But I'll tell you all my ways, to make it very beneficial for everyone. (I think these are all the ways I try to earn, except doing Contests. I can't do those. But a higher chance for you guys to win!)

I see that you are a Field Marshal rank right now.

  • Start saving ALL your Containers: Regular, any old ones, Ultra, Weekly, Coin boxes, ...
    • You can open any coin boxes you obtain right away because they will give the same amount of rewards and drops.
    • For the Weekly Containers, you should wait until you get to Legend Rank to open them.
      • This will allow you to get these rewards:

  • play regular MM battles
  • do Contests (for more community socialization as well)
  • do Daily/Weekly/Special Missions
  • do the Challenge (free tier gives 25,000 Crystals)
  • get Premium Account (it gives you 2,500 daily along with its other rewards)
    • by doing Contests
    • Special Missions
    • Container openings
    • by catching the April Fools Day Gold Boxes, giving up to 3 Days of Premium in each one!

Btw, I can't wait for that. I hope they have Premium Account in them! ?

Change the daily missions with ads in mobile until you get crystal reward.

Save the containers and only open them before events with double funds to get premium.

Use drones only during these events to get the most use of them.

I wouldn't suggest you specific crytal-farming ways like dictator, titan, mechanic, trickster, unless you enjoy it.

1. Tanki Mobile, Tanki Mobile, Tanki Mobile

  * use hover hull  + smoky, turn auto aim + auto fire + auto supply (if you have supply, or off for non-double fund days)
  * TDM, as long as you get 10 kill, easy sure 3 star

  * tanki mobile give your extra 900 bonus crystal on top of battle fund for each battle you finish w a 5-30s ad.

  * tanki mobile give your 10 shard for each battle finished, go container tab, click ad to add 10 more shards w a 5-30s ad

  * every hour (easy to track just when it is full hour and go check), tanki mobile give you extra 10 shard for free, go container tab, click ad to add 10 more shards w a 5-30s ad
  * with tanki mobile, you most likely get 5 container worthy of shards each day (daily mission + automatic by time + after each battle + after each hour)

  * tanki mobile allow you keep changing Mission for free by watch 5-30s ad, so change until you get Crystal or Gold box mission.

2. Daily Mission + Challenge + Containers event

3. save container (possible free premium pass)+ supply + battery for double fund event days. Trickster is simple drone to get extra battle point (use nitro only, no need mu, no need repair kit like mechanic drone) for better fund, dict hull overdrive, isida heal with nano augment to save supply

4. why play PC version when mobile version is so much better for crystal.

Maybe because some people care more about having fun and enjoying the game. Your emotions are real. Crystals are just pixels.

I played much worse on mobile than on PC.  Yes, mobile may give an extra 900 crys (e.g. 150 + 900), but I could get 700 on PC without much effort and give my team more help.

I use burning aug smoky and crusade on tdm as support role, no supply

as support role hide behind wall, auto aim and auto fire burning smoky is like  little version vulcan, and crusade OD can have AP effect for crowd damage, 3od per match.

tdm micro mission is 10 kill + damgae output only, easy 3 star even if not top 3.

so you can have 300+900=1200 per battle in game + 10 extra shards, 10 match in game = 1 free container (even 3 min battle counts)

i can get 4000 per battle in PC gauss titan seige w drone supply in double fund days, as reference

in high rank, container is only way to get hull augment, i have 2,000,000 in my acc, but cant buy hull augment.

yes, mobile tdm is repeative but what other choice u have for possible hull augment in end game.
