Gold is the most basic currency in Boom Beach. You receive them for most tasks, and they are required for upgrades and training units. You will also need them for expanding your empire as you have to pay to expand your field of vision through the fog of war on the map screen. Another frequent use is having to pay Gold to attack other players. Finally, cutting down trees to generate Wood requires a not insignificant amount of Gold early on.
Gold is generated in your base through Residences. These deliver Gold every hour, though you can always collect them more frequently if you need to. You will also receive Gold by boat from liberated villages. You should concentrate on Building more Residences as soon as the option becomes available, however, and upgrading them when the opportunity arises. Use the information below to see what level Residence produces what amount of Gold.

As well as Residences, you also earn Gold from liberating villages. These villagers provide you with a tribute by boat, which turns up at the docks on your island. Not only that, for every village that you defeat, you earn a healthy amount of Gold. While attacking the enemy costs a small amount, what you stand to gain is significantly more.
How do you collect all your gold/wood/iron ect from your home base all st the same time without clicking on each one separately?
I too keep getting destroyed I am at level 15 , when I attack its always a lose....ugh
I keep getting attacked and wiped off the mat, losing huge resources, when I attacked its like a pea habour ....I read about strategy but yikes this is becoming boring.had do you last and still play to level up...seems hopeless
WhKing do people keep talking about having too much Gold and not knowing what to do with it? Gold is one of the most useful items on the game besides diamonds! people below level 30 should save questions like this for later in the game because they will be self answered very soon!
-King
I upgraded two of my four residences to Level 5 but my max gold capacity is stuck at 72,000. What gives??
I answered this question on my own; never mind. The residences only hold it until you add it to your storages. Duh.
I'm Always trying to get my storages to maximum capacity because im always wasting it
If gold storage is full does it mean that i will lose the produced gold?
Yes
Boats do have a maximum capacity.
My gold storage is always full too, no matter what I do
How to upgrade all my boom beach
It won't be full if your troops need to upgrade level 5 above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lol I nead a hack
If you have more gold than you know what to do with send your sub on missions. Something doesn't sound right. I've never come close to this problem.
if we attack a base and destroy anf take all the gold bht do not destroy the headquarters and retreat or lose, will we be able to take back the gold?
My gold storage is always full. There is not enough stuff to use gold on.
