Infinite Tower Tycoon Cash Ranked: Every Free Source in Order

Your droppers are slow at the start, so most of your early cash comes from things you do yourself. The best of these is the Wooden zombie. It respawns straight away and pays $560 each time you kill it. The daily quests and the spin wheel pay even more, but you can't do them very often. This guide ranks every free way to earn cash and gives you the best order to use them in your first sessions.

Every free cash source, ranked

This list goes from the biggest payout to the smallest. It also shows how often you can use each one.

1. Daily quests: $120K and keys. These are the biggest free reward, but they only come once a day.
2. Daily wheel: $8K, $24K, $80K or a key, with a 12.5% chance of each prize. You get a free spin about every 3.5 hours.
3. Wooden zombie 1 plus kill bonuses: $560 per kill, and 'Reward for 2 kills' adds +$5K. You can repeat this forever, which makes it the best earner between spins.
4. Other players' clones: about $570 each, and they count towards your kill bonus too. They're harder to hit because they move around.
5. Crates on the grass: stone crates pay $540, fall crates pay $490 and wooden crates pay $50-120. Grab them as you walk past.
6. Tickets: they don't give you cash. A Dropper ticket gives +30% dropper income for 15 minutes, and a Button ticket makes build buttons 20% cheaper for 12 minutes.

The quests and the wheel pay the most, but you have to wait for them. In between, the zombie is your main way to earn.

The best order for an early session

Follow these steps each time you join:

1. Spin the wheel if it's ready. It's free and can give you up to $80K.
2. Check your daily quests. Some of them ask you to open crates, so you'll know what to look for.
3. Farm Wooden zombie 1 and chain your kills to get the +$5K bonus.
4. Hit any crate you pass, and go for stone crates first.
5. Kill other players' clones when they wander close to you.
6. Go back to the Cash pad every few minutes. Walk onto it to collect your dropper earnings.
7. Spend your cash on tycoon pads, then go back to the zombie.

If you haven't redeemed the free codes yet, do that first. Our Infinite Tower Tycoon Codes (October 2026) guide lists them.

Spin the daily wheel first

1. Click the top icon on the left sidebar.
2. Click the green 'Spin! 1 left' button in the centre.
3. Wait for the wheel to stop.

The wheel has three cash prizes ($8K, $24K and $80K) and several kinds of key. Each prize has a 12.5% chance. You can spin again after about 3.5 hours, so check the wheel each time you come back to the game.

Daily quests: the biggest single payout

Daily quests pay $120K and keys. Some of the goals ask you to open crates. That means hitting crates while you farm also helps you finish your quests.

Farm Wooden zombie 1 (your main earner)

Wooden zombie 1 has 50 HP. Each bat hit does about 10 damage, so it takes about 5 hits to kill. It respawns right away, so you can keep farming it.

1. Press 1 to equip the bat from hotbar slot 1.
2. Walk right up to Wooden zombie 1. It stands beside the road or next to your tower.
3. Face it and click about every 0.2 seconds. Don't stop until its HP shows 0/50.
4. Look for 'You killed Wooden zombie 1 +$560' in the feed.
5. Keep hitting the new zombie to fill the 'Reward for N kills' bonus (+$5K for 2 kills).

Watch out for these mistakes:

• If you pause, the zombie's HP goes back up. Keep clicking until it's dead.
• Your swings do nothing if your bat isn't equipped or you're too far away, even though the swing still plays. Press 1 and get close.
• The zombie moves around, so keep your camera pointed at it.
• Keep an eye on the feed for 'A wooden zombie is coming' alerts. They tell you a new one is on its way.

Kill other players' clones

Other players have clones that walk around the open field. Each clone has 50 HP, the same as the zombie, and pays about $570 when you kill it.

1. Press 1 to equip the bat.
2. Run to the NPC tagged ''s clone'.
3. Stay close to it and keep your camera on it, because it moves around.
4. Click as fast as you can until it reaches 0/50.

If its health bar stops dropping, you're probably too far away or facing the wrong way. Clone kills count towards your kill bonus too, so you can mix them in with zombie kills.

Open crates on the grass

Crates appear on the grass near the towers. To open one, walk next to it and click it. You can keep your bat equipped while you do this. A message like 'You found a ... crate: +$X' shows how much you got.

• Stone crate: $540
• Fall crate: $490
• Wooden crate: about $50-120

Crates pay less than zombie kills, but they're quick to open. They also count towards your daily quests.

Use tickets at the right moment

Tickets boost what you already earn. They don't give you cash directly.

• Dropper ticket: +30% dropper income for 15 minutes. You can stack up to 5.
• Button ticket: -20% on build button costs for 12 minutes. You can stack up to 3.

Use a Dropper ticket once your droppers are running and you plan to play for a while. Save Button tickets for when you have lots of cash ready to spend on pads.

1. Walk to the Tickets board by the cash collector and open Use tickets.
2. Click the green + on the ticket's row.
3. Click the green check mark in the 'Are you sure' popup. Clicking + on its own doesn't use the ticket.
4. Close the panel with the red X.

Don't forget the Cash pad

Your droppers keep earning while you fight or have menus open. The cash waits on the green pad under the 'Cash' sign. To collect it, walk onto the pad, because clicking it does nothing. Get into the habit of walking back after every few zombie kills or menu visits.

Once you have spare cash, you can also put it into Clone 1 so your clone farms kills for you. Our Infinite Tower Tycoon Clone Upgrades Explained guide covers this.

Keep your cash safe

• Upgrade prices go up after every purchase. If you click fast, you can spend all your cash in seconds. Keep some back for tycoon pads.
• Red buttons and red pads mean you can't afford something yet, so don't click them.
• Some buttons cost Robux, like Giant clone. To avoid buying something by accident, open Settings (the gear icon at the bottom of the left sidebar). In the Visual section, set Robux button mode to Prompt.
