Overview
The Rookie Events (every odd UTC hour at :30, see Rookie Badge Events) pay Rookie Badges. Their prizes are drawn from the same daily pool as the arena (BG Arena), so no single source can out-earn the others.
How It Works
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Prize per run | One per account and one per computer for each event run. No extra for kills or repeat wins. |
| Daily pool | 60 Rookie Badges a day per account and per computer, shared by every Rookie Event and every arena mode. |
| Reset | Midnight UTC. |
| Full bag | The badges come by mail. |
A win past the cap
The win still counts for the run. You are paid what room is left in the pool and the game tells you the amount paid, why, and when it resets:
- Room for the whole prize: you get all of it.
- Room for part of it: you get that part ("paid 4 of 10").
- No room: the prize pays 0 and says the daily cap is reached.
One event win in a day is never cut: a normal day of one to three wins is 10 to 30 Badges. Event texts say up to where the cap can reduce a prize.

Tips
- Arena matches and events add up toward the same 60: spend the day where you enjoy it most.
- Several characters on one computer share the computer's 60.
- Rookie Badges buy the arena cards at the Badge Exchange, and the +20 stat cards (6 Victory Badges each) once swapped into Victory Badges (100 Rookie each).
