More ways to earn Ghoul Coins (or other event coins)

Suggestions

The achievement for buying everything from the Ghoulcery is a grueling grind for new players. Other than from fishing and from redeeming remains (both of which are very rare to get coins from) The way you earn Ghoul Coins is through time! Every 6 minutes starting from the start of an hour, you can earn a coin by completing a game that earns you units/tickets! If it shows that popup in the corner of your screen tallying up the units you just earned, You’ll get a coin! (meaning the Casino and selling things does not work.)
The arcade does also work, though.

This means you can get 10 coins an hour. or 240 coins a day! (but more realistically like 80 coins a day for most people that have lives).
I tallied up everything I still needed and ended up with OVER 800 coins needed! So for a new player I think it’s safe to say you need at least 900 coins to get that achievement! That is insane! That is about 90 hours constantly making sure you’re getting a coin every chance you get. That is too much of a grind for a game like this, especially during a timed event.

I am here to posit maybe some other methods of obtaining coins? This is the start of the actual… suggestions.

  1. Extra coin from earning a large sum of units during plaza activities.
    Say you get like… 2500 or 3000 units from a Minigame or Pool. That could earn you 1 extra coin completely separate from the coin you can get every 6 minutes.

  2. Special Halloween (or event) cosmetics for games.
    To explain. Something like a pumpkin bowling ball or golf ball, or a pumpkin for Ball Race. When you put those on during Halloween, you forfeit the Units you would earn, and in exchange you get a ghoul coin for doing something well! Like getting under par in a hole in golf, getting a strike in bowling, or… getting a certain number of melons in Ball Race outside of the bonus- I don’t play it enough to really know. These coins would again be separate from the timer.

  3. Quests.
    Earn coins from the various quests you complete during Halloween, or from earning the achievements. Perhaps a large sum for each quest? That would be a good boost and even more incentive to do the quests!

  4. Just have a couple coins hidden around the plaza for people to find?
    It would be a one time thing but I think it would be fun! It could even be an event similar to the remains/treasure where 10 coins spawn in random locations for each player in a certain part of the plaza (your choice of where that would be) and they get to search for them! I think that would be cool!

That’s all the suggestions I have, I would be grateful if the devs at least consider any of these, or add some other way to earn coins that I haven’t posted!

I disagree with the coin for earning large sums dealio, cuz while Casino disallows ghoul coins, jackpots could potentially mass dump ghoul coins on you which would incentivise the afk grind for them. Which imo is pretty bad, player engagement is better.

I do like the idea that halloween themed cosmetics could benefit you in some way to earn ghoul coins, but many game worlds don’t have such themed items. Maybe in the future.

Quests is a solid idea, however that sort of thing is already planned for the future this could be a thing.

10 coins that spawn is a bit much, even that’s way too generous.
Personally would prefer 1 coin spawn at a time, but it’s not tied to any event. There will always be one coin active in the plaza to find (client side to prevent theft), upon being collected, it will vanish and move to another set location of many, and also refuse to respawn in that location again for the next 2 spawns to prevent repetition. This lets players hunt around plaza and even enter locations they previously may of never went to, in search of precious ghoul coins.

In addition, have candy buckets have a chance to give ghoul coins as a bonus item.

In all I would prefer more player engagement for ghoul coins, at the current time the system encourages grinding game worlds or semi-afk grinding arcade. Which sucks a lot of the Halloween fun out of the air.
Yes you can get ghoul coins from character visits, remains and fishing. But all those alternatives are disgustingly rare to get them that way.

I just want to quickly clarify that this wouldn’t apply to the casino at ALL. Jackpots would not give coins. I mean from the events like Booze Bash or Pumpkin Smash or Ghost Hunting. Or from Pool, Bowling, Laser Tag, Typing Derby, Trivia, etc.

The cosmetics for games allowing for ghoins would definitely be a future thing, I don’t know how long it would take to implement cosmetics and also the coding that makes them give ghoul coins.

Always having a coin spawned around the plaza for players to find is also a good suggestion, but It might also be a good idea to have it despawn and reappear somewhere else after a while. Either that, or the locations they spawn in should be really obvious to avoid someone being completely unable to find the coin and just… not be able to get coins that way anymore.

Candy Buckets having a chance to give ghoul coins is an absolute golden suggestion.

Really the main problem is the rarity of coins compared to the quantity needed to buy everything from the shop. So like… it is either lower the cost of everything or more ways to get coins.
