Any tips on earning credits?

[PurpleDucky]

Well here's the dealio..
For me to get what I want of the Alice items I need; 28,700 credits
The problem is...I have 880, pretty sad huh?

Anyways getting to the point, which games hand out the most credits? I'm pretty sure it's mansion, if I'm wrong, correct me by all means
Heh, it's so sad, I made a goal of what I'm making for the whole day. Today I'm supposed to make 2000, not too bad for me..at least

If I want to get all the items it will be within a 12 day period.


Sooooo I just want to know, which games should I play more often to earn the credits needed?

The game that hands out the most credits all depends on what game you're good at. I'm pretty good at fireworks (average around 7200 a game) and fireworks gives you 10% of your score in credits (so for example, using my average of 7200, I'd get 720 credits). I'm not that great at Pirate, so I don't get a lot of credits from it. I'm getting better at HM, but I still get way more credit in fireworks. However, it might be the exact opposite for someone else.

I personally don't think the Alice items are going to be disappearing very quickly...after all, we've had many of the other ride pieces up for quite some time. So I wouldn't stress over any urgency.

I think part of it depends on what games you are good at. I play Mansion a lot and average around 200 credits a game. However, I have also received that many credits playing Pirates on the odd occasion that I win a game. However, I am not good at Pirates, so I only play it if I have to for a quest, or if a bunch of friends are asking me to play. I usually make around 300+ credits playing Fireworks, but that is only because I am good at that game.

When I am earning credits, I usually play two games of Mansion or Fireworks, then I go play a mix for an easy 25 credits, and repeat. Also, if you are going to be afk, then put your character on the Jungle Cruise. Then you can earn 20 credits while you are away.

240 credits is about the average for me at Mansion
IF I win at a game of pirates it averages from about 150-200
Fireworks..not my game lol, my max score is probably about 2k

Pirates Capture Flag pays out pretty good credits if you win and the games seem to go faster then mansion or fireworks.

Good Luck

^^what she said. Pirates might not give as much credits per game, but the games are usually shorter and can play more often therefore getting more credits in the time you play.

I stay far away from Pirates! It costs 21 credits to play each game, so I usually end up losing money there!

It depends on what type of person you are. For example, I'm a Haunted Mansion person. I can easily win every game, and I get an average of 300 credits for a two round game plus the winning amount of 40. Then on a three round game I get.. well.. more.. And I love when they have bonus days, I'm earning so may credits on those days. And then for every 100 (or 50, I cannot remember which) wins you get a 2,000 credit bonus! It adds up.
In between games you should play your music mix really fast. And if you are ever doing house work or something, it's good to play a game of jungle cruise, and then keep on starting them

Obviously, everybody is correct about playing the game you are best at. However, I also think it's a good idea to mix up your games a bit just to keep yourself alert. Scores tend to go down as you get "bored" or in a rut with a game - even a game you like.

So, like Jolly said, take a break and go over and play your music mix or play a quick game of pirates. One great source of EASY credits that most people tend to overlook is the Tomorrowland arcade. Even if you have no skills whatsoever, anyone can win the Airlock Escape game. (If you're no good at maze-type puzzles, there are maps to get you through it in the Players Guide). I can win a game of Airlock Escape in the same time it takes to play pirates or ghosts and, once you plug in the code for your dive suit, you can immediately sell it for 150 credits. (Not a lot, I know, but like I said, it gives your eyes and brain a chance to take a break from all those pink and green ghosties!)

Good luck!

Yeah, I would love to play that game it just takes me 15 minutes..

Anyways, thanks everybody, all of this info really helped

Here's how to make lots of credits fast:

On Thursday (double pirate credit day), find 3 friends. Play Capture the flag, but alternate winning. So each time you play, in the First Round both teams get the flag, but Team 1 takes the flag back. Second Round, both teams get the flag, but Team 2 takes the flag back. In the Third Round both teams get the flag, but Team 1 takes the flag back. Next game switch who wins. The winning team gets about 476 points and the losing team gets like 220 or something.
Plus if you play 6 times then you get a treasure key and you may or may not win more credits.

Yep. Unless you get into a game of friendly pirates.

But last night, while playing on a mule, I played 2 games and gained only 2 credits total.


While I do tend to earn a lot of my credits on JC getting top 10 scores, I get bored, so I change up the games. I may play pirates for a while, then switch over to mansion then later do fireworks. Keeps me from getting too bored.

Purpleducky, I plan on playing friendly flag as much as I can on Thursday. You're welcome to join me! Last Thursday, I easily made 10,000 credits in just a couple of hours!!!

^^what she said. Pirates might not give as much credits per game, but the games are usually shorter and can play more often therefore getting more credits in the time you play.

Definitely not in my case. Games may be shorter, but I'd have to play a few games of pirates to do what I make with one game of fireworks. But then, I've never played "friendly" pirates before, so maybe that's the difference (though I don't know too many people who would constantly play friendly pirates, whereas I'm content with doing fireworks after fireworks after fireworks thoughout my time on VMK).

So it all just comes down to what you're good at. The answer is all relative to the person answering.

Hey duck, i recommend playing the game your best at and get the most credits at. My game is pirates. So say your good Mansion. Then, when ever you get on aim for 1000-2000 credits, or higher. Once you have reached that goal you can go and hang around the kingdom. Also, when building up your credits, don't buy anything except the weekend stuff that comes out.

This is what I do and i got 20,000 credits in 2 weeks.

Hope this helps - Sea

Ohhh nice amount of credits! Hopefully I can round up my friendly group and get can hit the pirates.

Oh that would be awesome, thanks so much

Capture the Flag usually gives out more credits than Ship Battle because even if you lose, you get something out of it. It is probably easier than Ship Battle for most people. (for me it is)
I'm horrible at Fireworks (sadly ). It took me two hours to make 2,000 credits, which I really don't think is that good, lol.

Additionally, if you can be on VMK between 5:30 and 8:30pm VMK time Thursday nights, try to do Phinny's quest under the Q button. She usually gives away 200-300 credits, and it should take less than 5 minutes to do. Additionally, if you don't like the furniture prizes she gives away, you can sell those items too.
Good luck!
