How to earn more Republic Bucks and Coins in Riders Republic

There’s so much to do and see in the open world of Riders Republic that is just impossible, or improbable, to do in real life. This world is built around allowing you to live out your dream of becoming an extreme sports star as you ski, board, bike, and fly through tons of races and events with people from all over the world. Aside from your skills, the other main way you can make your mark is in how you design your character. There are tons of different outfits and cosmetics, from gas-spewing helmets to leather jackets, gloves, boots, and more.

Your pass to blast your way down the mountain is already paid for, but all the gear, cosmetics, and even player emotes need to be bought in the in-game shop. Being a Ubisoft open-world game, and a multiplayer one at that, things obviously aren’t going to come easy. Riders Republic has two types of currency you will need to learn: Republic Bucks and Republic Coins. You’ll also need to know how to amass them if you want to fully deck out your character with the best fashion available. If you’re light on cash but have your eye on a fancy new outfit, here’s how to earn more Republic Bucks and Coins in Riders Republic.

Republic Bucks are the primary currency of Riders Republic. This is the currency you will earn through various actions you take while playing. Things like winning races and participating in all the various events will all add to your Republic Buck wallet. You can’t grind out these bucks in any way you want, and some ways will earn you more than others, too.

You should start out by doing as many races and trick courses as possible. The first, and only the first, time you complete one you will get a nice 1,000 Republic Bucks. However, you only get that cash for the first time you finish any specific event, so move around the map and do them all.

While you’re making your way through all these events, you will get even more Republic Bucks by reaching higher Star ratings on events, which will also help you unlock new events in different sports, too. Star ranks can get you anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 bucks for achieving them, but you can only hit a Star rank once.

In the long term, Sponsor Contracts are going to be your most consistent and highest paying method for getting Republic Bucks. After you’ve unlocked the sponsorship system by getting a high enough Star rank, make sure you take on the maximum of three sponsors right away. Every sponsor you have will give you daily contracts (daily missions, in other words) that you can complete each day. These are usually pretty quick to complete, like just doing a few races, and well worth doing every time they refresh. Plus, as you do them, you will make progress with those sponsors and unlock even more gear and items unique to that sponsor.

If you’re still trying to eke out some more cash, it can be worth looking to find and break the RR balloons that are scattered across the map. These each reward you with 50 Republic Bucks for bursting them, which is certainly a small amount. But considering there are an insane 500 balloons across the map, that amount can quickly add up.

Online modes do give some Republic Bucks for every round you play but are not as time-effective as any of the other methods mentioned before.

Ranking up will be a passive way to get a nice, consistent stream of Republic Bucks. As you rank up, you’ll get a little bonus cash for leveling up. Ranking up will come naturally as you’re doing all the other methods, so you won’t really have to go out of your way to earn them this way.

Because Ubisoft can’t help themselves, there had to be a currency that you need to pay real money for. Republic Coins can only be purchased for real-world cash. You can get 500 for $5, 1050 for $10, 2,300 for $20, 4,200 for $35, or the maximum of 6,600 for $50. The larger bundle you get, the cheaper the individual cost is, but we don’t recommend getting them in almost any situation. A vast majority of the cosmetics in the store can be purchased with either a ton of Republic Bucks or some Republic Coins, so you’re better off saving up than forking over your hard-earned cash. Unless you really like the look of something you can’t buy with bucks, just stick to earning cash the old-fashioned way.

Hopefully, they don’t add too many items that require Coins, but for now, there’s not a huge incentive to pay up any additional money on cosmetics.

Final Fantasy 16 Renown explained: what is Renown and how to earn it
Final Fantasy 16's cover showcasing its protagonist infront of two demon summons.

Every JRPG, and even games with RPG elements, likes to introduce new systems into the mix for you to learn and interact with. Most of the mechanics in Final Fantasy 16 will be familiar, like sidequests, upgrading gear, and unlocking abilities. However, later on, the game will introduce you to the Renown system once you take control of the Cursebreakers. This occurs once you reach the main hub of the game called Cid's Hideaway after going through the main story until you reach A Chance Encounter. While you might be feeling content ignoring this new mechanic and just pushing on with the main story, there are plenty of reasons to learn it. Here's a simple explanation of how the Renown system works in Final Fantasy 16.
What is Renown and how to earn it

Without spoiling much, after Clive takes on a certain mantle and is in charge of Cid's Hideaway, the Renown system will automatically be put into effect. This is meant to represent how much inspiration and support Clive has earned from the people of Valisthea in his cause and fight against the Blight. You can see how much Renown you currently have by visiting the Patron's Whisper and talking to Desiree.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nopon Coins guide: what they do and how to farm them
Reveal of a titan in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

JRPGs love to create their own terms for just about everything. Currency, spells, abilities, classes -- you name it and a JRPG will rename it. In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, not only do they have all those previously mentioned mechanics to learn but also two types of currencies. Thankfully, these aren't the types that have invaded more predatory games which have one in-game currency and another you need to spend real money on, but rather one special type that is much more difficult to come by.

Nopon Coins are not only a rare, but very useful, currency you will want to collect as much of as possible, but is even further divided into two sub-types. There's a ton of stuff to do in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and only certain activities will payout with these rare coins. If you want to know everything you can do with Nopon Coins and the best way to farm them in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, check out our guide.

Rainbow Six Extraction: How to rescue MIA Operators
Operators prepare to move into sub zone in Rainbow Six Extraction.

The new threat, called Archaeans, in Rainbow Six Extraction are more than just mindless alien parasite things. These creepy creatures have begun infecting and taking over various regions in the world, which are the zones you and your team are sent into to complete various tasks in the hopes of finding a way to get rid of them once and for all. Your team consists of a total of 18 iconic Operators taken from Rainbow Six Siege, only now made a part of the Rainbow Exogenous Analysis and Containment Team, or REACT for short. You can select your Operator of choice and go on these missions solo, or in a team of up to three others. These Archaeans aren't messing around, though, and failing to extract is bound to happen sooner or later.

Unlike in Rainbow Six Siege, Operators don't immediately come back to life if they get taken out during a mission. If you lose your favorite character, they're gone until you rescue them by going on a special MIA Rescue mission. These aren't easy, and can be even harder if you've lost your most powerful Operator.
