TBH: Task Bar Hero gold farming: best stages & gold per hour

Quick Answer
The fastest way to farm gold is to let the game do the math for you: Gold Farm mode ranks every stage you can reach by gold per hour, so your best farm is simply the highest-ranked stage you can clear deathlessly on auto — not the hardest stage you can barely beat. Run the Knight + Ranger + Priest farming trio, leave it on overnight, and funnel the gold into the Hero-dric Cube and the Steam Market.
How Gold Farm mode works
TBH: Task Bar Hero’s Gold Farm mode does the comparison you’d otherwise do by hand: it ranks every stage you can reach by its gold-per-hour rate, factoring in how fast your current team clears it. That makes the “best gold farming stage” a moving target — it changes every time you upgrade your team — so the right habit is to re-check the ranking after any meaningful power spike rather than memorising one stage.
How to pick your best gold farming stage
The top of the gold-per-hour list isn’t always the right pick. Read it with these rules:
- Deathless beats high — a slightly lower stage you clear every time out-earns a higher one where your party occasionally wipes. Gold/hour assumes you don’t die; a single death tanks the real rate.
- Match it to AFK time — if you’re farming overnight or while you work, pick the stage you can leave completely unattended. Auto-retry will hold you there, and a deathless loop is what makes idle gold add up.
- Re-check after every upgrade — a new weapon, rune page, or pet can push a higher stage into “deathless” range and bump your gold/hour. Glance at the ranking again whenever your clear speed jumps.
The best gold farming team
Gold farming rewards consistency over burst, so the farming trio — Knight + Ranger + Priest — is ideal: the Knight never drops the line, the Ranger’s even clear speed keeps the loop fast, and the Priest sustains it for hours. On top of the team, the Dragon pet raises your gold income directly, so it’s the single best pet to run while farming.

What to do with the gold
Gold is a means, not the goal. Pour it into the Hero-dric Cube: Alchemy turns junk drops into more gold and Cube XP, and Crafting and Synthesis turn it into gear upgrades that push you to a higher gold-farm stage. The high-rarity gear you produce and pull is also what you list on the Steam Market for real Steam Wallet credit — the highest-value loop on the whole site.

Common gold farming mistakes
- Farming the highest stage you can barely beat. One death per loop wrecks your real gold/hour — the deathless stage below it earns more.
- Sitting on a stale stage after a big upgrade. Your best gold-farm stage moves up as you get stronger; re-check the ranking.
- Hoarding gold instead of cycling it through the Cube. Idle gold does nothing; gear upgrades unlock higher gold-farm stages.
- Farming without the Dragon pet. It boosts gold directly — leaving it on the bench is free income left on the table.
- Confusing in-game gold with Steam Market money. Gold buys upgrades; the Market pays real Steam Wallet credit. Farm for both, but don’t mix them up.
