Gold

TabberCSS Gold (also known as Gold Bars) is the premium currency in Candy Crush Saga.

It was introduced on September 19, 2013 with the release of the 33rd episode, Cherry Chateau. Gold was tested during spring and summer of 2013, before being added massively to many accounts, although not all accounts have gold bars.

On September 24, 2013, the game gave away 30 gold bars for free. In some events, you can earn gold bars from challenges. Gold bars can also be won as prizes, via the Sugar Drop Feature.

Gold can be used to buy boosters, lives, moves, and tickets to unlock episodes.

When you cursor on the icon, an inscription will show up: "Buy Gold Bars for your saga journey!".

Trivia

 * The player receives 50 gold bars at the end of Candy Town, before 2014 a players receives 10.
 * Unfortunately, there is no other possible way to obtain gold bars other than the first 50, Facebook, or via in-app purchase. If one was to obtain them free, they would have been hacking. However, now there are some ways to earn gold bars for free without hacking. The first way is completing challenge (collect red or green candies, see the gallery below), and the second is playing sugar drop mode. The third way is to synchronize the progress when downloading/starting the game first time on another platform (PC or mobile), which gives another 50 gold bars.
 * Occasionally, if a player buys something with gold, he/she may get infinite lives for two hours.
 * The Secondary Wheel has been removed so players can't earn Gold Bars from that.
