Most Profitable Stages for Farming Coins and Gems in Hill Climb Racing (2025 Guide)

Look, I've been playing this game for way too long and I'm STILL trying to figure out the best way to farm coins without losing my mind. Sometimes I think I've got it all figured out, then I crash spectacularly and question everything. But here's what I've learned so far...

💡 Why I Even Care About Stage Selection (And Why You Should Too, Maybe?)

Here's the thing - and I learned this the hard way after wasting HOURS on terrible maps - not every stage is worth your time. Some are absolute coin goldmines. Others? Total wastes of fuel.

The good ones usually have:

• Long stretches where you won't die immediately
• Coins everywhere (obviously)
• Fuel cans that aren't impossible to reach
• Terrain that doesn't hate you

Actually, scratch that last one. Sometimes the terrain that hates you the most gives the best rewards. I don't know, this game makes no sense.

My Current Top Stages (Subject to Change When I Rage Quit Again)

1. 🌕 Moon (I Love It, I Hate It, I Can't Stop Playing It)

Best Vehicle: Moonlander... wait, no, Super Offroad is better.

Actually, depends on your play style. Okay so the Moon is INSANE for coins IF you can handle the low gravity without flipping into oblivion. The airtime bonuses are ridiculous - I've made 50k+ in a single run when everything goes right. But when it goes wrong? Chef's kiss goodbye to everything.

The flips are where the magic happens, but also where I want to throw my phone. Land them perfectly and you're swimming in coins. Mess up and you're starting over.

Pro Tip: Tap the gas while airborne to control flips. I know everyone says this but it actually works... most of the time.

2. 🏜️ Desert (My Safe Space, Don't Judge)

Best Vehicle: Super Jeep or Rally Car (I keep switching)

This is where I go when Moon has destroyed my soul. It's... peaceful? The hills are gentle, fuel is everywhere, and you can just cruise for ages without thinking too hard.

Some people say it's boring but honestly? Sometimes boring is exactly what you need. I've done 2-hour Desert runs while binge-watching Netflix. Is it the most efficient? Probably not. Do I care? Also probably not.

Pro Tip: Don't upgrade the engine too much early on or you'll flip constantly. Learn from my mistakes.

3. 🌋 Volcano (For When I'm Feeling Masochistic)

Best Vehicle: Dune Buggy... actually no, Tank is safer. But Dune Buggy is more fun. Ugh.

This map is TECHNICAL in Hill Climb Racing MOD APK. Like, really technical. The lava jumps can make you rich or kill you instantly - there's no middle ground. When I'm in the zone, hitting every landing perfectly, chaining bonuses... it's the best feeling in the game.

When I'm not in the zone? Well, let's just say my neighbors have heard some choice words through the walls.

Pro Tip: Timing is everything. Practice the rhythm of the jumps. Or don't, and suffer like I did for months.

4. 🏁 Highway (Actually Pretty Decent?)

Best Vehicle: Super Diesel or Race Car

I used to think this map was too simple, but hear me out - sometimes simple is good. You can go FAST, there are coins everywhere, and the only real challenge is not overshooting fuel cans when you boost.

It's like the Desert's younger, more energetic sibling. Good for when you want coins but don't want to think too hard.

Pro Tip: Easy on the boost button. I know it's tempting, but you'll fly past everything important.

5. 🚜 Countryside (Don't Sleep on the Classics)

Best Vehicle: Honestly, anything works here

Everyone ignores this map because it's the first one, but with good upgrades? You can go FOREVER. It's consistent, predictable, and weirdly relaxing. Sometimes I come back here just to remember why I love this game.

Plus, it's great for testing new vehicles without risking embarrassment on harder maps.

💎 Gem Farming (The Real Struggle)

Gems are... complicated. They're rare, they're precious, and the game is stingy with them. But here's what I've figured out:

🎁 Event Maps Are Life

When these pop up, DROP EVERYTHING. The gem drop rates are insane compared to regular maps. I've gotten more gems in one event weekend than in a month of regular play.

🛍️ Daily Challenges Are Worth It

I used to skip these. Big mistake. Even the annoying ones usually give decent gem rewards, and they force you to try different strategies.

🛠️ Things I Wish I'd Known Earlier

1. Watch ads strategically - Only when they offer to double your coins. Don't waste time on the random ones.
2. Magnet boosters are amazing - Especially on Moon and Volcano where coins are scattered everywhere.
3. Crashing resets your multiplier - I cannot stress this enough. When you've got a high multiplier going, PLAY SAFE.
4. Smart upgrades matter - Focus on engine, grip, and fuel capacity. Everything else is secondary.

Wait, actually, sometimes suspension is more important than engine. Depends on the map. This game is confusing.
📊 My Completely Subjective Ranking

🎮 Final Thoughts (For Now)

Look, I'm still figuring this out. Some days Moon is my best friend, other days it's my worst enemy. Sometimes I think Desert is underrated, other times I'm convinced it's too slow.

The truth is, the "best" farming stage depends on your mood, your skill level, and probably the alignment of the planets. But hey, that's what makes this game addictive, right?

What matters is finding what works for YOU. Don't let some random guide (including this one) tell you how to have fun.

...But seriously, try Moon. Just... maybe have a stress ball nearby.
