Buff weekends are the best way to maximize your free-for-play experience. A few quick tips below. 

- Save your stamina currency for buff weekends 

- Make sure to use your buff scrolls (they stack). They can be found in your inventory tab under “consumables”. These usually come in the mail from major events. 

- Make sure to turn on double speed while farming. 

- Use your fastest hunt team for maximizing your gold gains. (especially while your daily reputation gold buff is on) Typically wyvern and one shot banshee are the fastest

- Happy hunting!
