Without further ado (and with so many heartfelt thanks to Pidgeot for his scripting handiwork), here is a Big Sea Games rank calculator! With this nifty little tool, you can find out exactly how many tokens you need to achieve certain ranks (and in some games, awards) in your favorite Big Sea Games.
*It’ll open in a pop-up window, so you may need to disable your pop-up blocker for this web site. We promise, we won’t spam you with pop-up ads, so you’re safe.
The form will ask you to choose a game, then enter the amount of tokens you’ve earned in the game so far. You can find this information in the Token Tracker of the main Game Info panel at the bottom of your game screen. You’ll want to enter the amount of tokens listed under “This Game” It looks like this:
Then, choose the rank you’re interested in earning and the calculator will show you how many tokens you need to earn that rank. Voila!

Wow ty its fun that thing :o) the rank calculator!!
But it dont look like we are going to have new games added on the site this week snifffff :o(
Wow, that is waykewl! I’ve been wondering just how much more I needed to get Vodkar 1 in Farm 52, and now I know precisely. Can’t wait to play with it on the other games. Now if only Big Sea would explain why the ranks are so uneven.
This is SOOOO cool!! Thanks so much for sharing it. I know I will use it often.
snowsim1: I don’t think it’s the ranks that are uneven, it’s the token payouts in the games that vary so much. Right?
umm..Am I doing something wrong here??? When I enter another players game tokens and hit the end of the game no matter thier rank it comes up with the same amount as mine??
i have checked out the calculator but it says that i am on leprachaun 1 but im on dryad 2 and wanting to know how many tokens i need to get to dryad 3. can you help.
julie: I don’t know what you’re asking specifically. Could you clarify?
andrew: You need to enter the amount of tokens you’ve earned in the game as shown above and then choose your desired rank. If it’s simpler for you, there’s a chart at the bottom of this page that shows how many tokens you need to progress in rank (it’s the same for every game):

This is awesome! Thanks! No more guessing when I leave in the middle of a rank.
Re: uneven ranks…
In this instance, I’m referring specifically to the uneven differences between rank levels. For example, the difference between ranks 1 and 2 is 10,000; between 2 & 3 is 20,000; between 3 & 4 is 40,000. All that is logical, doubling. But after that it goes wonky. The difference between 4 & 5 is also 40,000; 5 & 6 is 65,000; 6 & 7 is 95,000, etc. Instead of doubling each rank, the difference between them varies from 1 to 1.625 times the previous. And drops from 1.625 down to 1.461 then goes up and down again. Very erratic and it drives me bonkers that I can’t find the logic behind it.
snowsim1: ah, I hadn’t looked at it that way. You’re right, it’s pretty illogical.
In other news, I adjusted the calculator so it’ll take commas in the “Current amount of tokens” field, but they’re optional. This may fix the problems that Julie and Andrew mentioned in their previous comments, if that’s what was causing the problem.
Wow, I love it!!
Hope you will keep a link on the front page so it will be easy to find in days to come! Thanks Pigeot!
Tina: there’s already a link on the right sidebar. It’ll stay there forever.
Thank you Pigeot just what I wanted. wil use it quite often.
I think the rank calulator is great
I would like to know why my all time total only reflects what i earned since the bigsea change..on bingo it says i have 23 million plus, and my actual all time since i started in 2005 is 107,850,711 at this moment?
Sandra: the short answer is that it’s just the way it is. I’m almost certain Big Sea posted a FAQ that talked about this, but I can’t find it. (I swear, if I — as a “super fan” who spends a ton of time on their site — can’t find something I don’t know how they expect the general user to find anything either. What a mess.)
Basically, your token total on your home page and your profile is your all-time TOTAL, but in the games it shows what you’ve earned since the site was redesigned and moved addresses.
Apparently, the in-game all-time counter is broken, and has been so for a long time. This is also listed in the FAQ (they call it a display bug, which is arguably true.)
It’s not entirely clear what the cause of this bug is, or why it’s still there, however – they haven’t really elaborated on it. For now, you’ll have to refer to the count listed on your profile to get the real number.
OMG Pidgeot, you super-sleuth…. I looked all over for that damned FAQ and couldn’t find it anywhere!
