Free rolls do not count: Lords Mobile’s Tycoon ranking

Global Tycoon Challenge counts Tokens spent and excludes free daily rolls. Read the counter, top-100 prizes and conflicting dates in IGG announcements.

The daily free roll does not increase your Global Tycoon Challenge ranking counter in Lords Mobile. Point 2 of the official Global Tycoon Challenge rules counts Tokens spent and expressly excludes free daily rolls. Your number of actions and the ranking total can therefore differ.

What the table actually counts

The open IGG page labels the counter Nombre de Jetons merveilleux dépensés, meaning “number of Tokens spent”. It measures spending during the event, not Tokens in your bag, purchased packs or Castle Might. The French wording helps identify the same field in the original screen.

For example, suppose you spend 10 Tokens and take one free roll. The ranking concerns 10 spent Tokens; you cannot count the free roll as an eleventh Token. This explains the units, not a personal in-game test. Check each action’s cost in your own confirmation window.

The page says rankings update every 5 minutes. Before spending again, compare credited totals with Tokens spent and allow the table to update. If they differ, retain the time and both screens; one unchanged row immediately after an action does not explain the cause. Open the original counter at full size.

Why the 100th-place total is not a price tag

The 25 October capture shows 6,655 Tokens spent at 100th place. That is the table at one moment, not a guaranteed top-100 budget at the event’s end: other participants keep changing their results. The zero on the left belongs to the public context without a character and says nothing about your account.

Read your desired reward’s conditions first. The announcement reserves a 2 g gold bead for places 1–3, while in-game prizes also cover lower ranges through 71–100. A picture of the main prize does not mean every top-100 participant receives it. The rules establish neither a fixed placement budget nor a return on spending.

Which deadline to use and when prizes are sent

IGG’s separate announcement gives 24 October 2026, 00:00–30 October, 23:59 GMT−5. In Moscow that is 24 October 08:00–31 October 07:59 MSK. The Russian collaboration poster instead shows 1 November at 07:59 MSK, a one-day discrepancy. Do not treat the later date as a confirmed extension; check the separate announcement and this ranking’s own in-game timer before participating.

Point 3 allows up to 3 working days after the event for sending in-game ranking prizes. Physical prizes follow a different process: an in-game message to winners within 10 working days, delivery details by its stated deadline, and dispatch within 60 working days after the event ends. Those periods do not extend participation or promise an exact delivery date. Open the original rules at full size.

Our Magic House guide also separates ranking from another progress scale, but that event concerns Diamonds. Here the counter measures Tokens. Before acting again, check three things: whether the correct item is spent, the total already credited and the placement needed for your chosen prize. A free roll and competing for that prize call for different expectations.
