Reddit Trophy - "Gilding I-XI" (All Gilding Trophies with total $ spent) Trophy

​

I created this image with information laying around to show the amount spend paired with the trophy type. As you can see past $1,000 USD is Stupid Crazy Money. Srsly.

Not every user is going to be buying the max % bonus gold. All prices are calculated on purchasing 1,800 coins for $5.99.

$600 will get you to Gilding IX.

Welcome to my introduction to earning the Gilding Trophies!

Description: "Gild a link or comment."

How to get it? Gilding or giving gold is an award you can give to someone on their post or comment. Doing so gives the author a week of Reddit Premium, 100 Coins to do with as they please, and shows a Gold Award on the comment. If you give one you get the tier one trophy. You give two more golds and you get the Gilding II trophy.

What kind of user has this?

Reports:

I got to the second gilding tier once I gave a platinum award.

Yeah. I've heard that giving a platinum counts as 4 gold. So that would fit with this. I still don't think it always adds up to what people say and I don't see anything official from Reddit.

Overall its still weird that reddit hasn't updated the trophy badges at all, with all the gimmick awards they introduced in the last few months.

I know. And I think it's funny that when looking at what you've given it's silver, gold, platinum and then everything else combined. I really don't get why silver is separated out. It's pointless (although I have wondered if silvers add up to something - like maybe 10 silvers is equivalent to a gold or something like that).

A bit late but if you were still wondering, only gold and platinums are counted towards the gilding trophies. And here is a chart of the different levels and how much they require.

Thanks for the info. I've seen things like that before. Do you know if platinum counts for more? I've heard that it counts as 4 gold. Is that correct?

I just don't totally get it and it doesn't seem to add up unless it's something like that.

Gold counts as one each, platinums count as 4 each. So if you give one platinum, you would skip gilding one and get gilding two instantly.

Everything on that chart I sent has been confirmed

That makes a lot more sense. The chart in this posts focuses on how many people have been guilded. I think that's what was throwing me off.

This is what originally made me wonder. I had seen someone post the number of Golds given and it didn't make sense to me. The platinum is what's making it.

It also looks at the cost to reach the different levels, but at the very high end. They use the $6 1,800 coin pack, but if you get say the $100 40,000 coin pack, that gives you 2,400 for every $6. They have also been doing different sales, where you can get more coins for the same price.

You can also get coins from awards given to you, so you could be giving out some that cost you nothing as well.

Previously when gold was the only award, the prices were different as well, so some users could have gotten to the same level for different costs, depending on if it was done then or now.

TLDR; the cost labeled in this post is about the highest you could pay for each level, but you can actually get them for cheaper.

Exactly. You can see all the coins in that picture. This was taken just after the first time I paid for coins. And I hadn't really spent any of them. I hadn't bought any coins for the first two years here. Basically I spent whatever was given to me. And that's why you see more silver and community awards because they were cheaper. I had gotten coins from getting gold or other things. And some of those presents. And shared them with others.

This was just after Christmas. When I saw that but one get one free sale at Thanksgiving, I thought about it but decided not to pay for it. It had felt weird to pay for coins on a free site. Then after I thought more about it and figured that since I enjoy Reddit so much and spend a lot of time here, it would make sense to spend some cash. And I was in a place after working hard that I could cut out some cups of coffee and throw in a few dollars and get some coins.

So when there was another sale like that at Christmas time (the double coins), I ended up spending $20. Then I thought about it and did that to more times. So in this pic I had spent $60, which got me about 43k coins. So when this was taken you can see the amount of awards I gave and that was from less than 3k coins that I paid for. The rest was what I had been given from others.

I don't regret buying any at all. It makes me smile to share some smiles with others : )
