Black Friday
A variety of promotions are available. Although there aren't any specific promotions confirmed in the past there have been sales on both Z-Token packages offering increased amount of Tokens, as well as a discount on Token items in-game.
AE Crossover
Around February the developers take player suggestions on the forums on which items from other Artix Entertainment games should come to the Golden Giftboxes.
Token / Gold Donation
Twice a year, once in summer and once coming up to Frostval there are donation events where players can donate Gold and Z-Tokens to other players randomly, and donating players get rewarded based on the amount they donated and their placement on the donation leaderboard.
Donation leaderboards:
Gold: Link
Tokens: Link
Wars
A recurring event throughout the year. The event revolves around killing monsters until a set amount is defeated, with sometimes cut-scenes unlocked when different percentages of this amount are achieved. Wars usually last around 7-14 days, and when they complete a boss is revealed as well as the war rewards when defeating it.
Additionally, reskins of the war rewards are available to players achieving a set amount of kills.

Strategy
Strategy for wars has generally been to use the most efficient setup with nukes favoring armors with low cost compared to their damage.
Since kills cannot be achieved once the player has reached both their Gold and EXP cap, items like the Spirit miscs are used.
Spirit miscs are Z-Token package items (cost real money) that increase both Gold gained, and the Gold cap to compensate while they're in your active inventory. To leverage that, players keep them out of their active inventory, and as they near the Gold cap, put them one by one back into their inventory to increase their cap, allowing for more kills. All Spirit miscs give +25% Gold during their respective month and +10% outside of their month.
Currently available Spirit miscs:
Name | Month | Element | Stat |
---|---|---|---|
Spirit of ??? | January | ??? | ??? |
Spirit of Love | February | Fire | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Luck | March | Light | +50 LUK |
Spirit of Grenwog | April | Water | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Rejuvenation | May | Earth | +50 END |
Spirit of Summer | June | Light | +50 END |
Spirit of Freedom | July | Energy | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Knowledge | August | Water | +50 INT |
Spirit of Change | September | Wind | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Mogloween | October | Darkness | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Harvest | November | Earth | +50 CHA |
Spirit of Frostval | December | Ice | +50 CHA |
Do note that these miscs are only available during their respective months.
Players who don't want to invest money, instead set a "gold line" which means they flee any monster that rewards more gold than an amount they set beforehand. This means they reduce their kill rate, but increase the amount of monsters they can kill before they cap.
Warring-Server
A couple of players have set up an unofficial war competition, called Knights of Discord with both a site as well as a Discord server, with various rewards, like Artix Points (equivalent to real money).
