Join low-population servers for Trial Points. I went from placing 8th in crowded servers to consistently hitting top 3 in servers with 5-10 players. The rewards are identical, but the competition is way easier.
Trial Points are the newest currency in Faith Incremental, added with the ZONE update. They come from hourly server events and buy powerful upgrades that persist through rebirth. The TRIALUPDATE code gives 3 free Trial Points, which equals about 3-6 hours of event grinding.
How Trial Points Work
Every hour, the server runs a challenge where all players compete. The challenge varies:
- Faith Race: Earn the most Faith in 5 minutes
- Click Challenge: Most clicks in 3 minutes
- Rebirth Rush: First to rebirth wins
Top performers earn Trial Points based on placement:
| Placement | Trial Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 3 |
| 2nd | 2 |
| 3rd | 1 |
| 4th-5th | 0.5 |
| 6th+ | 0 |
Only top 5 get rewards. In a server with 20 players, most people get nothing.
Winning Strategies
Server Selection
This is the biggest factor. A server with 5 players means top 3 is almost guaranteed. A server with 30 players means you're competing against whales.
How to find low-pop servers:
- Join the game
- Check player count in the server list
- If it's crowded, leave and rejoin
- Repeat until you find a server with under 10 players
I spend 2-3 minutes server hopping before events. The time investment pays off.
Event Preparation
Events start on the hour. Prepare 5 minutes before:
For Faith Race:
- Max your click upgrades
- Have rebirth ready if multiplier is high
- Clear any pending upgrades
For Click Challenge:
- Position your cursor over the pray button
- Close other applications
- Consider an auto-clicker if allowed
For Rebirth Rush:
- Get close to rebirth threshold before the event
- Don't rebirth early, wait for the event to start
During the Event
Faith Race: Click constantly. Use any temporary boosts. Don't stop to buy upgrades mid-event.
Click Challenge: Pure clicking speed. Nothing else matters.
Rebirth Rush: Rebirth immediately when the event starts if you're ready. If not, grind as fast as possible.
Trial Point Upgrades
Trial Points buy special upgrades in the Trial Shop. These are separate from the regular upgrade trees but stack with everything.
| Upgrade | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Trial Blessing | 3 TP | +10% Faith generation |
| Trial Multiplier | 5 TP | +15% all multipliers |
| Trial Mastery | 10 TP | +25% rebirth bonus |
| Trial Ascension | 20 TP | +50% all gains |
Get Trial Ascension first, then Trial Mastery, then Trial Multiplier, then Trial Blessing. Trial Ascension is expensive but the +50% all gains is massive. Save for it.
Upgrade Math
Trial upgrades persist through rebirth and stack with everything else.
A player with Trial Ascension (+50%) and Trial Mastery (+25% rebirth) progresses significantly faster than someone without them. The bonuses compound over hundreds of rebirths.
Free Trial Points
TRIALUPDATE Code
The TRIALUPDATE code gives 3 free Trial Points. That's enough for Trial Blessing immediately or a head start toward Trial Multiplier.
Redeem this code before your first event. The 3 points equal 1-3 event wins depending on placement.
Event Participation
Even placing 4th-5th gives 0.5 Trial Points. Consistent participation adds up:
- 10 events at 0.5 TP = 5 Trial Points
- 10 events at 1 TP = 10 Trial Points
- 10 events at 2 TP = 20 Trial Points
Show up to every event you can. The points accumulate.
Event Schedule
Events run every hour on the hour. The event type rotates:
| Hour | Event Type |
|---|---|
| 12:00 | Faith Race |
| 1:00 | Click Challenge |
| 2:00 | Rebirth Rush |
| 3:00 | Faith Race |
| ... | Repeats |
Plan your play sessions around events. If you're only playing for 30 minutes, time it to catch an event.
Common Mistakes
Staying in Crowded Servers
The biggest mistake. Server hopping takes 2 minutes and dramatically improves your odds. Don't compete against 25 players when you could compete against 5.
Missing Events
Events run hourly. If you're playing for 2 hours, that's 2 events. Missing them means missing Trial Points.
Spending Points Too Early
Trial Blessing (3 TP) is tempting but Trial Ascension (20 TP) is far more valuable. Save your points for the expensive upgrades.
Not Preparing
Showing up to a Faith Race with no click upgrades is a waste. Prepare before events start.
Ignoring the Code
TRIALUPDATE gives 3 free Trial Points. That's a full event win for free. Redeem it.
Trial Points vs Other Currencies
How Trial Points compare to other progression systems. The Souls & Relics guide covers the other secondary currencies in detail.
Trial Points vs Faith: Faith is your main currency. Trial Points are supplementary but powerful.
Trial Points vs Souls: Both persist through rebirth. Souls are easier to farm, Trial Points have better upgrades.
Trial Points vs Shards: Shards buy cosmetics and special upgrades. Trial Points buy progression upgrades. Both are valuable.
Trial Points vs Relics: Relics are RNG-based. Trial Points are earned through skill and participation.
