How to Farm Medals Efficiently
F2P-friendly guide to maximize medal income in WC4 without spending a dime.
TL;DR
- Finish every scenario at S-rank for achievement medals.
- Log in daily for the login reward + daily missions.
- Participate in seasonal events — best time-to-medal ratio.
- Run Conquest mode once a day for the victory bonus.
Stable sources (every day)
- **Daily login**: 5 to 50 medals depending on streak day
- **Daily missions**: 3 missions = ~30 medals total
- **Conquest mode**: ~50-100 medals per victory
One-shot sources (do once)
- **S-rank scenarios**: ~50 medals per scenario × 50+ scenarios = jackpot
- **General achievements**: unlocking a general gives 100-300 bonus medals
- **Tutorials**: ~200 medals total
Event sources
- **Seasonal events** (Halloween, Christmas, Anniversary): 500-2000 cumulative medals over the period
- **Battle Pass**: free tier gives ~600 medals per season
- **Army Group tournaments**: 100-500 medals depending on ranking
What NOT to do
- Buy the 100-medal pack (bad euro/medal ratio)
- Re-run an S-rank scenario for medals (achievement medals don't regrant)
- Skip seasonal events — that's where the real farm lives
Frequently Asked Questions
How many medals can I farm per day playing 30 minutes?
Between 80 and 150 medals with login + missions + 1 conquest. Over a month, that's enough for a Bronze general or half a Silver.
