Is AFK gaming more profitable

clicker-heroes

In Clicker Heroes you will continue to 'earn gold' but not achievements (or progression?) while the game is closed, like when I go to sleep or the like. When I return though I am always amazed at the amount of gold I have earned.

Is the amount of gold you earn increased if you close the game down for extended periods or is it just my perception of watching the incremental vs a sudden jump?

Best Answer

The amount of gold you receive when the game is closed is higher than the amount you receive when the game is open, assuming you are not actively playing the game. I ran a few tests with my game and the results are as follows:

30 minutes game open               => 10,883q gold
30 minutes game closed             => 12,246q gold
30 minutes game open, using skills => 18,361q gold

I didn't do 30 minutes of clicking and using skills because that's boring.

So, if you aren't actively playing the game, close the browser tab. You'll gain more gold.
