I have a question. I just leveled up and was only awarded 160 gold. It has been 860 gold for the other levels. Please help!! The message i received is below:
Fabulous! Xena, you just leveled up! You're now a Eagle-level wizard (level 22). Your magical abilities are growing!

I'll award you 160 gold!

look under gold changes. They said the amounts will now vary. 160 was all I received last time too.

Lissa - thank you!!! I see. That stinks! It isn't right to take something away this far into the game. I know they award us a bit of gold everyday but it just doesn't add up to the 860 gold we were getting. We get the short end of the stick :(

I think that wasn`t good idea to replace awarding with 860 gold for leveling up with daily gold awards - I can level up for 4 days, but the sum of gold, that I`ll receive each day, won`t be more than 200 golg max. That isn`t big stimulus in the game. Especially when (almost) everything in the game and the quest we can buy only with gold :(

I use to play all the just to level up to receive more Gold,waiting on new Quest.But now you took the fun out of it by not getting the Gold at leveling up any more.!!

I dont not like the new changes on receiving Gold,so I have just about quit playing it now for this reason

I am also losing interest with this change , .. :o(

I am also soon to leave the game.

The gold change is part of my decision. Yesterday I received 40 gold for the daily bonus. Today, I received 19. 5 seeds for 100 gold is just too much, considering how many seeds it takes accomplish anything.

This new mastery is just horrible as well in my opinion. Castings hundreds and hundreds of seeds to get the 4 in a row is ridiculous. I have used good luck potion, bad luck potion, cricket luck, different pots, transformation potion ... mixed the combination's in so many ways my head is spinning. You get 3 of kind numerous times and nothing I have used has helped complete the 4 of a kind after days of trying.

The toolbar ... that is a whole different story :-(

I have considered "donating" for gold but based on what I have learned about what it takes to finish anything, I cannot justify spending the money.

The real money it takes to play any of these Facebook games anymore is turning me away from all of them. We can spend endless amounts of money and it never ends. Anything new to change the game, redecorate or improve the game requires even more money, week after week.

It has been a pleasure checking out this game, but the probably of continuing is diminishing quickly.

I have donated a fair amount but it gets costly and the relief came in between getting the level up gold ..

The daily gold is helpful, and can accumulate enough to buy a premium seed packet every 4 days or so.. or so I've found, so far.

Since it takes me at least a week to level up, I'm thinking level-up gold should be an amount equal to at least a week's worth of daily allowances - IMHO.

I'm mathematically challenged so haven't tried to figure out the difference. Offhand the change seems to favor those who can't play as often, but manage it a couple of times a day. I used to be able to level up in about four days so know I'm not getting anywhere near the gold I got the other way...
However I can find lots of fun with silver and I have plenty of that. Gold has never been a high priority with me. I like to figure out fun things with silver quests too. I'm beginning to think mastering seeds is close to impossible. Even with the berry seeds. The drooble just doesn't appear often enough.

I have been frantically casting so that I can earn more gold when I level up. My motivation was to purchase more snowflake seeds before they went away. I was disappointed that I received only 140 (?) when I levelled up to level 9 - my memory thinks that previous level ups that amount was much higher..... have the amounts been decreased, or is my memory faulty?

Wow - I thought it was just me....ditto to everything you have all said.

I have over 50,000 in silver and over 3,600 in gold and I stopped playing because of not getting the gold when leveling up like before.Its kinda like the burgers at McDonalds getting smaller and the price going up when you are use to it!!

My daily gold bonus today : 11 hahhahah:(

I think everyone should just be happy with what they get. Most facebook applications don't even give you any 'gold'. Remember that everything that costs gold is strictly optional. Sure, even I would like more gold, but Dude does need money to make this game as fabulous as it is today. We need to be grateful for what we get.

i completely 110% agree with you swowlan!
