To mark the 20th anniversary of , precious metal specialist PAMP is bringing limited edition silver and gold bars onto the market.
5,000 gold bars and 15,000 silver bars – that’s how many examples of a collection the Swiss manufacturer PAMP () produces. The collectibles, officially licensed by Activision Blizzard, including an embossed game logo and Captain Price artwork, are delivered in a case – including a code for an exclusive in-game item for use in .
The collection is sold through specialized precious metal retailers – orders can be placed immediately. The price is – depending on the dealer – around €490 for the gold version (5 grams) and €138 for the silver bar (1 ounce = approx. 31 grams); Added to this are the corresponding shipping costs.
For comparison: an ordinary 5 gram gold bar costs around €320 from reputable dealers – 1 ounce of silver can be had for just €30. The premiums for the series are therefore significant.
How can that be? Precious metal expert and author Jürgen Fröhlich from the Goldreporter.de portal classifies the offer:

In the new Palia you need, in addition to some materials, one thing in particular and that is gold. The gold is the currency in the game and you need the money not only for sales at the dealer, but also for upgrades and other things. For this reason, the question arises, is there a trick with which one can make money particularly quickly? In this article we have summarized a few tips on how to farm money quickly early in the game.
Earn money and farm in Palia
There are numerous ways to earn money in Palia. At the beginning, the fields where you can grow vegetables and sell them after the harvest are particularly useful. Another good way to make some money in the meantime is to hunt for chapaas and sernuks. The animals drop various materials such as antlers and tails, which you can’t sell for very much gold, but can be farmed relatively quickly and easily. Last but not least, fishing is also a good way to make money.
Make money fast with oysters
One of the currently best methods to earn gold quickly is because of oyster farming. The oysters can be found on the beaches around Beachcomber Cave and are easy to collect from the beach. In addition, you can also find mussels, crabs and snails in the areas, which also bring in some money. You should take the purple crabs with you, in particular, as they are significantly more valuable than the orange crabs.
With the oysters there is even a special feature, because the closed oysters can be opened in the inventory. In addition to the oyster meat, with a bit of luck you can also get a pearl. The simple pearl brings 70 gold and the green pearl a whopping 145 coins on sale. Since you can farm the oysters quickly, you can earn a lot of money in a short time. If you farm the oysters for around 30 minutes, you can easily collect 5,000 to 7,000 gold. The oysters are particularly easy to farm at night, as they glow slightly and are easier to find.
Use money cheat and cheat gold?
Finally, the question arises, is there a money cheat in Palia? The short answer to the question is no, there is no such thing as a money cheat or money hack. The game is permanently online and synchronizes the score including all activities with the server. Maybe sooner or later there will be a money glitch or something similar, but its use is not allowed and the bug will probably be closed within a short time.
xbox live gold its days are numbered. Literally. As of September, the new plan to play online on Xbox consoles, its replacement, is called Game Pass Core. More than a name change, it is an entry option to Microsoft’s video game subscription service based on two claims: the multiplayer experience and access to a catalog of more than 25 games. From there, the two questions ask themselves: what will happen to my plan and what games are they?
The transition from Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Core is automatic and will take place on September 14, 2023. According to Microsoft, it will no longer be possible to contract Xbox Live Gold from that month (which makes sense) and we will be able to continue enjoying all those games that we have claimed over the years as long as we have Game Pass Core as normal. In addition, it ensures that, despite the change, subscribers will maintain the price.
That being said, in the case of Xbox 360 games, items already claimed with Xbox Live Gold have always been owned by the playerwith which a subscription is not necessary to download or enjoy them via backward compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
The first 19 Game Pass Core games announced
The second big change is that Microsoft will stop offering two games every month. To be honest, and with very few exceptions, Games with Gold have been advertised monthly for years without generating . At least, compared to free games on platforms like Epic Games or PlayStation Plus subscription games.
The good news, on the other hand, is that the new approach to the service chooses to offer access to a fixed selection of more than 25 games from Xbox Studios, Bethesda and third parties, adding two or three batches of novelties each year. And although we still don’t know if there will be Activision Blizzard games, since 19 titles have been released, the announced collection is wide, varied and forceful.

Adventure, platforms, author-named role-playing, wild shots, driving and multiplayer options to take advantage of online. The range of titles goes from Fable Anniversary from 2014 to much more recent Groundedand offers true timeless essentials.
In the end, the general idea is not very different from the already retired PlayStation Plus Collection, being a welcome option for new players of Xbox consoles, as well as an additional incentive for those who buy very specific games like EA Sports FC 24, Street Fighter or Call of Duty that ask to be enjoyed online.
Logically, none of this applies to PC, where it is not possible to contract the Game Pass Core service. Among other reasons, because unlike consoles, desktop players do not need to pay to play online.

Cloud gaming in Beta phase
How is the Game Pass Core proposal compared to the game Pass of a lifetime. Well, that depends on whether we are interested in playing online. Being cheaper to get the Game Pass Ultimate subscription to receive both services, the game in the cloud and all the advantages of EA Play. As we discussed, the successor to Xbox Live Gold is a gateway to Game Pass.
At the price level, it should be taken into account that Microsoft started the summer by readjusting the price of the Xbox Game Pass service, going from 9.99 euros to the current 10.99 euros and, in the case of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, going to cost 14 .99 euros compared to the initial 12.99 euros.
That said, the value of the content offered and the games, all told, still makes it a very worthwhile subscription. Above all, when all the next house bombings like Starfield and Forza Motorsport will arrive at launch, and it is not necessary to buy titles like Redfall to know if we will continue playing the next day.
Will we miss Xbox Live Gold? The only thing that changes from the new plan is the two games per month with Games with Gold. And it must be recognized that maintaining what has already been claimed and the instant addition of 25 games, including many of the best of the house, play in their favor. In any case, the temptation to get hold of to play online is much greater today than yesterday.
