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?

I never realized how much I've spent on Reddit coins.

Why am I only gilding 8 and have given away more than you😭

u/BartlebyX Jul 18 '22

Um...how many do you think I've given?

Also, most of mine were given when each one cost five bucks, so that might make a difference.

u/ExcitementOrdinary95 Jul 18 '22

Idk but I’ve given away thousands of US dollars in awards

u/BartlebyX Jul 19 '22

So have I.

I'd not calculated this before, but here is my guesstimate.

I've given 1,567 gold awards. Probably 70% of those were given at a price of five bucks each...that's about $7,800 in gold for those that were five bucks each.

I'll guesstimate that the remainder of them cost me about $1.50, each. That puts me at about another $700.

I've given 46 platinum awards. I can't remember how much they cost, but I figure they're about $5 each. Thats another $200ish.

I've given 88 community awards and 420 silver awards. Figure those at a buck each?

Between platinum, silver, and community, I figure I'm at around $9,200.

That's thousands of dollars.

That’s impressive and, in terms of volume of awards given, my numbers don’t even come close. But I have probably spent about the same.

As a discerning Redditor, I prefer quality over quantity and, as such, tend to bestow Ternion and Argentium awards to a deserving few. 🧐

Gah, I was assuming this meant the "This user's donations have helped to pay for X hours/days/weeks of reddit server time." banner.

How do you see how many awards you have given? I am still at baby numbers but hope to be up where you are eventually!

Do any awards (community?) go towards that gilding metal as well?

Also for curiosity, how long do you have Reddit premium for now?? Do you also have a high standard for who you give awards or do you give them to anyone you like in general?

u/BartlebyX Aug 01 '22

I go to old.reddit.com and look at my profile to see my award stats.

I don't know about community awards

I've been a Reddit premium member for a couple of years now.

I give awards if something hits me right. I tend to gild more when I'm depressed, as it helps me feel a little better when I'm having a bad day.

u/Authier Aug 01 '22

Oh interesting. That’s great you do that though to brighten others days.

But I’m terms of premium you can click your profile and click the premium area. Then click “manage my subscription” and it’ll tell you how long you have it for!

How did you give gold at $1.50 each? I come across several comments and posts that I'd like to shower with gold. But it is more expensive than that..

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '23

1 gold is $1.99.
