FASTEST Fastest Way to Earn Gold

[rionkimchi]

I have some earlier posts on how to figure out which animals earn you the most gold and XP. For example, https://forums.teamlava.com...Fastest-Way-to-Earn-GOLD-and-XP is more thorough.

Having collected more data and with the release of a few new animals, I thought it might be time for an update. As usual, collection frequency is the big variable but in the interest of keeping this simple I have calculated each animal's "average rank" across four average collection frequencies of 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours. Remember most people sleep so even collecting once an hour during the day, which is a lot and not likely sustainable, and then zero at night, is still only collecting on average every 2 hours or so.

Looking through the list you can find some higher ranked animals that cost less, and thus give you more bang for your buck. As before, in my view the only attraction worth spamming, is the ICE CREAM STAND.
