When you complete the Ancient Trials, you will receive Gold Coins, relics and 1 Ancient Trials Victory that counts towards the Trials Leaderboards. These rewards are scaled down if you are playing co-op. When you complete a wave with other players, the amount of gold coins will be split between the alive players.
The formula for receiving Gold coins is: (10 * wave) / alive players
Examples:
If you are on wave 7 with 2 alive players, each player will receive 35 Gold Coins.
If you are on wave 8 with 4 alive players, each player will receive 20 Gold Coins.
If you are on wave 3 by yourself, you'll receive 30 Gold Coins.
Defeating the Ancient Guardian and completing the last round will grant you up to 5 ancient relics. This becomes either 4, 3, 2, or 1 relic per victory depending upon how many teammates you start the trial with.
The formula for receiving Relics: 5 - (starting player amount)
Example
If you start with 2 players, both players will receive 3 relics (5 relics - 2 (original players)).
Ancient Relics and Ancient Coins are able to be spent at the Ancient Trials Shop to receive rewards on specific gamemodes.

You can choose from 3 unique classes to fight in the Ancient Trials.
Warrior
Archer
Tank
Each wave has unique mobs, each bringing a new challenge to counter.
Once all mobs in a round have died, the next round will immediately begin, so make sure you recuperate and upgrade as much as you can in between rounds.
The base XP drop is 30 XP per mob, which increases by 5 XP per round. The only exception are vexes spawned in by vindicators, who drop 10 XP per kill. You can collect XP to purchase items and upgrade your weapons.
To upgrade your armor and weapons, you want to head towards the center of the trials arena. Here you will find signs that you can use to upgrade and purchase items in order to aid you in your journey to defeat Zulrah. These upgrades do not carry over to future attempts and require XP.
To purchase an upgrade, right click the sign once you have enough XP levels in your hotbar. There is no limit to the amount of items that you can buy however you will have a limited amount of XP.
Once you complete the Ancient trials, you will receive 1 Trials Victory that counts towards the Legacy Arena Victories Leaderboard. You will also receive Gold coins. You gain Coins per completed wave, so you do not need to win the trials to receive them. The Gold coins won per wave are shown below.
Defeating Zulrah and completing the last round will grant you 100 coins. You can get a total of 154 coins per Victory. You will not receive Ancient Relics for completing Legacy Trials.
NOTE: If Zulrah is killed by something other than the player, e.g. a mob, your Tokens reward may glitch. If this happens to you, please file a Support Ticket with proof that something other than you killed Zulrah and staff will assist you.
