Coin Farming

Coin Farming is a term many players use, referring to the most effective way to earn coins while playing the Cookie Run games. There are several methods of earning coins quickly. The objective of coin farming is to either earn big amounts of Coins in relatively short runs or to earn the biggest possible amount of coins in a long run, using unique combinations of Cookies, Pets, and Treasures. Letting the game farm coins for you is a viable alternative called Auto Farming.

While coin farming can be executed in almost any Breakout Episode, many players prefer farming in Escape from the Oven because it has less obstacles and slower Energy drain compared to the other Episodes. Another way to farm coins is through the different lands in Trophy Race, with certain combinations.

In Kakao/LINE Cookie Run, there is an area full of coins named Ghost Pirate's Island of Coins, in which players could obtain a large amount of coins every 20 minutes. This area has not been carried over to Cookie Run: OvenBreak as of yet.

In Cookie Run: OvenBreak, there were special Episodes that entirely revolve around Coins, being The City of Wizards (before its rework into a normal special Episode), Black Sugar Pirate Ship, and Spooky Spider Mansion. Though they have been removed completely following the The Isle of Awakening Dragons update. It is currently unclear if these special Episodes will ever come back.

Below are multiple lists comprising of various Cookies, Pets, and Treasures that have the ability to create Coins in some capacity, alongside some recommended coin farming combinations.

Preferred Items for Coin Farming
New players are strongly recommended to prioritize earning and upgrading these items first to help them get more coins.

Cookies that give coins

Pets that give more coins
Most pets have bonuses that will help the cookie earn more coins easier, but the pets listed below are only pets that directly give coins.

Treasures that give more coins

Trophy Race Land 7
This method was created on May 20, 2023, by AldenM on YouTube (Cookie Run Ovenbreak coin farming 720k per run). It should be noted that the main cookie and all the treasures and Coin Bonus percentage were all at high levels which allowed AldenM to get 720,000 coins per run. This method is most effective on Infinite Run Day, days where cookies do not have a cap on how many runs they can do that day. 

Methods in LINE Cookie Run
Some methods for coin farming cannot be used after a new season is launched and the stages are redesigned. When tested in the new season, these methods may still produce lots of coins, but will generate less coins than in the past season or are no longer considered the best way for coin farming. Some of these methods are no longer usable due to the removal of Buttercream Choco Cookie.

Explosive Gold Coin Bonus
If done correctly, using the Gold Coin Bonus this method yielded the highest potential of gold coins per run upwards of 40k+ gold coins.

The trick is getting the Pirate Bomb pet to use its ability, which converts all obstacles into gold coins, during specific sections of the run where obstacle concentration was highest. To achieve consistent results required luck and memorization of locations of blast jellies and magnetic jellies throughout the run which will help give you a bit of control over when the Pirate Bomb pet gets to use its ability. For example, the pet doesn't activate during the magnetic jelly, or you wouldn't want the pet to activate right before a bonus time jelly which wastes its ability (in certain situations you do want this, so again its more about memorization).

Gold Coin Boost was made much easier in the Edge Of The World season. Because many obstacles need to be cleared by taking the coin jelly and obstacles appear much more often in this new season, there are significantly better chances for getting more gold coins without have to taking care of too many things like in season 2.

In season 2, to make sure the effect works best, make sure to upgrade Cookie, Oet, and Treasure to maximum level. Do not hit any obstacle or fall into a hole, do as best as you can because every miss will make a huge difference. Do not take any Blast Jelly or Magnet Jelly if possible, to avoid the Pirate Bomb's 'pattern' getting ruined, because there will be huge amount of coins at Stage 4 and Stage 5 possibly earned with the right 'pattern'.

If the player does not own Pirate Cookie, Angel Cookie can also be used, but all three treasures must give coin bonus.

Quick Double Coins
This method copies the Quick farming method, the difference is this farming equips any relay cookie and uses Random Boost "Double Coins". This farming will not get more coins from the relay cookie (and also a chance of getting the bear jellies Bonus Time twice), but will double all net coin earnings after all coin bonuses from Cookies and Treasures are added. Please take note that chances to get bear jellies Bonus Time depends on your luck when using the relay cookie, so using Cookie Relay boost is totally optional.

Long Double Coins
This kind of farming equips the "Double Coins" boost from Random Boost again. The key of getting more money, other than Gold Drop is because level 8 Zombie Cookie has the ability to revive with 17 Energy eight times. Playing with low energy remaining will increase the chance of getting rainbow rush Bonus Time session (although, there's no guarantee for that). Then, Buttercream Choco Cookie must be used in relay to get some more coins in the run and 25% coins bonus at the end of the game. If you're pretty lucky, you'll get the second rainbow rush Bonus Time in the relay cookie.

This method usually farms some amount above 10,000 coins. Some lucky players have claimed they can earn up to 27,000 coins in one game.

Bonus Time
The key of this Bonus Time farming is trying to get more coins from multiple Bonus Time Jellies (and a significantly bigger chance of getting the bear jellies theme of Bonus Time with lots of giant gold coins). To make this farming method give even more coins, players can use  'Random Boost ' with "Double Coins".

This farming also gives significantly bigger amounts of XP as well, so this method can also be used for XP farming while using a Double XP powerup.

Quick Farming
There are several options for this method:
 * Immediately end the game after earning the first Giant Gold Coins from Gold Drop, Paprika Punching Bag, or Mr. Fa-Sol-La-Si.
 * Equip the combo above, and leave the cookie running until it falls into a hole.
 * Run and hit the obstacles intentionally several times (it is usually 3~6 times depending on your total energy) before the Bonus Time Jelly. The location of Bonus Time Jelly, however is different for each episode. Later, when the player earns Bonus Time session at the condition where the cookie is almost running out of energy, the bear jellies theme of Bonus Time with lots of bear jellies and giant gold coins will trigger, with up to 1,500 coins in just Bonus Time session.

This quick farming still can be helpful for any season and this is the most viable option for farming as a very new player, but newer coin farming methods offer much more effective ways to earn coins.

Banana Cookie
Banana Cookie gives more coins than any previous method. Savannahna Lion gives a 10% Coin Bonus Combi, but the next best pet is Panda Dumpling. Because the monkey hoops performance destroys all obstacles for quite a long time, a Splendidly Shiny Golden Mace can be the best option for this Cookie's game play if you have the treasure. Panda Dumpling can destroy more obstacles -- excellent for the Golden Mace treasure combination.

Using the "Mace"
General Jujube Cookie can be another option for coin farming, because the Cookie can generate a huge amount of points that guarantees Coin Scale to work at maximum conversion rate while destroying much more obstacles than any other Cookie.

For best results, use three Splendidly Shiny Golden Mace. Chances of creating winged coins are stacking and may exceed 100%. At 240%, you will generate 2-3 winged coins (worth 10) for each destroyed obstacle. If you do not have the Golden Mace, Miner's Gold Dynamite and Uncooling Teacup's Golden Jujube Tea Bag, obtained by fully upgrading the Uncooling Teacup is a good alternative.

Another variation of this method is using Mint Choco Cookie and Panda Dumpling. However, since Mint Choco Cookie does not generate its own magnetic aura, you should equip one Angel Cookie's Rainbow Feather.

Mint Choco Cookie Double Coin Farming
Mint Choco Cookie's skill to spawn coin flowers during the run is a way used by many players to farm coins instead of Cheesecake Cookie. The new combination of Paprika Punching Bag and Mint Choco Cookie made it viable as it gives an 15% coin bonus. Also Paprika Punching Bag gives 100 coins and a Giant Potion to make it easier to destroy obstacles. This Combo even exceeds Mr. Fa-Sol-La-Si’s 10% coin bonus. To top it off, the relay cookie, Buttercream Choco Cookie, gives a 25% coin bonus. Coin Scale can be a viable swap for the pet as well but you will need at least one of the treasure that has a skill of gaining extra points for collecting coins like Stuffed Elephant Money Box.

This is where the magic happens. Double Coin Boost is extremely essential as it would heighten the importance of Paprika Punching Bag and Buttercream Choco Cookie coin bonuses. Even without treasures that give extra coin bonuses, you will easily be able to earn 50,000 coins, with the help of Double Coin. A highly efficient way of farming coins. Though even without double coins, this combination will allow you to hit 20,000 coins with less effort.

Angel Cookie's Holy Feather gives a magnetic aura that allows you to collect as much coins as possible. Boatman's Burning Gold Sword is excellent as it gives a coin bonus and adds a bit of survivability as well. Survival is vital for this combi so Devilish Revival Grape Juice and Grand Revival Donut are ideal if you are prone to hitting obstacles or falling. This combi has a very open treasure selection, but a strong magnetic aura is important to maximise your coin farming. Other recommended treasures will be Fluffy Cheese Cat's Hairball and Mint Choco Cookie's Violin Case.

Mint Choco Cookie Blast Coin Farming
Mint Choco Cookie will spawn lots of coin flowers during the run. Mr. Fa-Sol-La-Si will not only create Blast Giant Gold Coins that will give you more coins, equipping the combo will earn a "10% coin bonus" which is very useful. We need Buttercream Choco Cookie as usual for 25% coin bonus.

Because coin flowers may spawn near the obstacles, a strong magnetic aura is required this time. You can use two or even three 99.9% Gold Energy Drink for huge extra chances of coin flowers. You can also use two Golden Magic Flower Pot but you must pair them with Angel Cookie's Holy Feather to get a strong magnetic aura. You can also combine those possibilities like the one illustrated above.

Farming on The City of Wizards
This episode gives massive points, as coin scale will always fully convert coins, but aiming for a longer run would produce more coins. Because the run time is not as long as Escape from the Oven, coin flower may not generate as much coins, alternatively you may use two Boatman's Burning Gold Sword. Fluffy Cheese Cat's Hairball is also a recommended treasure.

Cheesecake Cookie
This is pretty simple. Cheesecake Cookie can generate a lot of coins with her Coin Firework Parties ability, and Buttercream Choco Cookie will add a 25% Coin Bonus at the end.

The Coin Scale will convert all points into Coins, and the Stuffed Elephant Money Box will give you extra points for Coins. The Golden Magic Flower Pot will ensure that Buttercream Choco Cookie will still have Coins to gather via Coin Flowers, and it also gives a 10% Coin Bonus at the end. A lot of people tend to use this combi in Escape from the Oven, as it's an easy and relaxing stage to farm Coins on.

Alternatively, you can replace a Golden Magic Flower pot with another Stuffed Elephant Money Box. If you do not have a Stuffed Elephant Money Box, a Random Colored Jelly Scrub will still work. Paprika Punching Bag's Yellow Seeds is another good alternative for the Golden Magic Flower Pot.

For Ghost Pirate's Island of Coins
Neither the cookie's power, the pet's ability nor a magnetic aura will work, so you can only depend on cookies with higher energy amount. Currently, any L-grade cookie has 185 Energy, while the best S-grade cookie was Fairy Cookie who has 180 Energy.

Treasures for this episode can be a mixture between these treasures:
 * Specially made Flaming Cocktail, for 5-10% slower energy drain and one revive with 20-40 Energy.
 * Supremely Yummy Monster Muffin, for 5-7% slower energy drain and one revive with 40-90 Energy.
 * Devilish Revival Grape Juice, for 3-5% slower energy drain and one revive with 50-100 Energy.
 * Boatman's Burning Gold Sword, for 6-8% coin bonus and three revives with 20-30 Energy.
 * Sacred Restoration Pendant of Water, for 10-13% coin bonus and 2 time restoring energy after hitting an obstacle.
 * Slippery Golden Banana Peel, for 10-12% Coin Bonus and 7-9% Base speed increase

Many players would prefer a mixture that would cover all effects, for example combining Specially made Flaming Cocktail, Devilish Revival Grape Juice, and Boatman's Burning Gold Sword.

Alternatively players can also use these three treasures. It was proven that these two would not give as much points as the previous treasures aforementioned, but still can be a strong source of high scores in this special episode:


 * Grand Revival Donut, revives/lifts 2-4 times with 40 Energy.
 * Compass Eternally Pointing to Coin Island, 15-17% coin bonus.
 * Icy Starlight Bellflower revives/lifts 1-3 times with 66 Energy and 5-10% XP Bonus.

Farming with Adventurer Cookie
During September 2015, there was a gameplay-changing event when Adventurer Cookie's Hidden Ruins turns the jellies into coins, which makes a perfect way to collect as many coins in game. It ended on September 30, 2015. Strategy could be found in the event article, as this only applies during September. (Although Adventurer Cookie’s ruins still produce coins in the Kakao version.

Gift Points farming
Maximize Gift Points earnings by actively sending and receiving hearts from lots of active friends, so you can open Lucky Draw more often. Lucky Draw may contains up to 10,000 coins as a jackpot.
