Rollercoin — How Seasons Work
Rollercoin is a great way to earn cryptocurrency by playing games, especially when there’s a ‘season’ on. Seasons give extra rewards, based on the completion of tasks. Here’ a complete guide to how they work, with reference to Season 4 (the most recent one, at tie of writing).
When a season starts, generally a couple of months after the last one ended, there will be an obvious notice about the season in the bottom left of the home screen. The first thing you want to do is click on that (or go to the shop and then the event tab) to get an event pass. This just means you’re now taking part in the event.
Once you’ve got your event pass, there are three ways to get rewards from it:
Continue with the basic (free) pass
If you go this route, you’ll get rewards based on how much XP you earn during the event (you’ll get the reward at the time you actually complete the reward level it’s for) but only certain items are available for free passes. Generally you’ll earn something every few reward levels, but you can get miners, components, and power bonuses (even some Rollertokens if you get enough XP).
Purchase the upgraded pass
Unlike the first option, this costs Rollertokens (RLT). However, it unlocks all of the rewards, so you’ll get something at every reward level. How good value this is depends on how much XP you earn, so the further you get before the season ends, the more additional rewards this gets you.
If you’re going to do most of the free tasks each day, this is worth it if you can afford it. Should you be unsure whether it’ll be worth it or not, you can always wait until later in the season, as when you buy it you’ll get all the rewards for reward levels you’ve already reached but didn’t receive due to being on the basic pass.
Purchase the premium pass
This is a ridiculously expensive option. It’ll give you all of the rewards without you needing to earn any XP. As such, the more XP you would have earned during the Season, the worse value this is. Worth considering if you have loads of RLT but not much time. Most people can safely ignore it though due to the high cost.
The Rewards
There are a bunch of rewards that can be earned from a season. You can get miners, both pre-existing ones and ones created for the season. You can get components for use in upgrading miners. You can get bonus power for a period of time. You can get RLT. At one level (normally near the top end of what you can reach without getting XP for invites, lootboxes, or spending RLT) you’ll get a trophy to display in your room.
Here are the rewards for Season 4:
So, what might you get? Well, if we assume you manage to get the trophy at level 28, but no further, here’s what you’ll get.
Basic pass
An exclusive miner, two normal miners, 600 common fans, 60 common hashboards, the equivalent of 5,200 GH/s for a day, and the trophy.
Upgraded pass
The basic pass rewards, plus the following: Five different exclusive miners, two normal miners, 600 rare fans, 500 rare wires, 1200 common fans, 1000 common wires, 12 RLT,and the equivalent of 23,000 GH/s for a dayhy.
Premium pass
Everything you’d get from the basic/upgraded pass, plus: five more exclusive miners, another six normal miners, 350 rare hashboards, 400 common wires, 25 RLT, the equivalent of 10,500 GHz/s for a day, and an improved trophy.
Earning XP
So, how do you get those rewards? Well, unless you bought the premium pass, you’ll need to earn XP. There are two ways to do this: the daily bonus and event quests.
Daily bonus
Log into the game on a day (according to UTC, not your local time) that you’ve not already claimed the bonus for and you’ll get a popup like the picture below.
Simply click the ‘collect’ button and you’ll get the XP. The pattern repeats each week, so if you do it on all 60 of the days the season lasts for, then (assuming the bonuses are the same as Season 4) you’ll get 1110 XP, which is a little more than you need to hit level 11 (again, assuming that the 100 per level that Season 4 had continues).
Event quests
The other way to earn XP is by completing quests. As with the daily bonus, this resets at 00:00 UTC So, if there are any of these you might have achieved but not collected, don’t forget to check before the reset. Remember, all of these are since the day changed, not what you’ve done in the last 24 hours.
The first two rewards are for playing games. Play at least 40 since the day started and you can click the button to collect 7 XP, play at least 80 and you can collect another 12 XP.
The next two are each for playing a specific game 15 times since the day started and are worth 3 XP each.
The next two are each for visiting a social media platform, this could be Discord, Facebook, Twitter, or something else. You just need to click the button to get 2 XP, you don’t actually need to follow/sign up/like.
So, none of those first six cost anything other than time, so if you can do the social media ones every day (they take seconds) that’s another 240 XP (getting you the level 13 reward, with the daily bonuses). If you hit all of the gameplay quests each day, that’s another 25 XP per day, which takes you to the level 28 reward.
The remaining three rewards are harder to get, but could give up to another 29 XP a day. Manage that, along with all the other quests and daily bonuses, and you’ll end the season with 90 XP more than you need to get the level 45 reward.
The first of these is to invite a friend. If you get someone to join using your referral code, then (on the same day as they do) you can claim 11 XP. You don’t even need them to continue playing. Don’t create dummy accounts to get these points, there have been a bunch of crackdowns on this in the past and you risk your account getting banned.
Next up is spending 10 RLT (or more) in one day, which lets you collect 13 XP for the rest of that day. It doesn’t matter what you buy, it counts.
Something you might consider is buying a lootbox. If you open a lootbox, for the rest of that day you can collect 5 XP.
Remember, the day is from 00:00 UTC to 00:00 UTC and only stuff that happens in that day counts towards that day.
Summary
So there you have it, seasons are a great way to get extra rewards, even if you don’t have the RLT to upgrade your pass, as you can get free miners, power, and components. Plus, unless you already play a decent number of games each day, it’ll probably get you playing more, which means more power from games and more game bonuses opened.
