Gold coins and silver coins
Coins are the basic money of the game, and they come in two kinds. Gold coins are for dealing with other players: you can trade them, drop them, use them in player shops and the Auction House, and keep them in the bank or account stash. Silver coins are for everything else: NPC shops, repairs, crafting, skills, teleports, hatching pets and more. Since the Wings of Rebirth update the old regular coins became gold coins.
- Gold coins turn into silver coins at 1:1 whenever you like, but silver coins cannot normally be turned back into gold coins.
- If you are short of silver coins for something, the game lets you pay the same amount in gold coins.
- The inventory holds up to 1 billion gold coins and the bank 2 billion. To carry more, a Banker turns gold coins into Ten Million Big Notes, which become gold coins again when sold to an NPC.
- Silver coins come from quests, monster loot and selling items to NPCs; gold coins come from trading with players and from selling certain items to NPCs, such as Big Notes and Bounty Hunter cards.
Tokens and special coins
Many activities pay in their own currency, which is spent at a matching NPC. The fan wiki's list is marked out of date (newer realms add more), so treat it as a guide to how these currencies work.
| Currency | Earned from | Spent on |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect·Token of Luck | Token Packs, other players, or made from Lucky Coins | Potions, teleport stones, EXP stones and more |
| Supply Tokens | Nation Wars | Materials for high-level gear such as Nirvana and Rank 9 |
| Lucky Coins | Packs or other players | Items at Assistant Wang Tsai, and engraving gear |
| Undercurrent Coins | Daily quests in Undercurrent Hall | Items for upgrading Rank 8 gear |
| Neverfall Badges | Dawnlight Halls daily and Western Steppes quests | Class skill books, titles and more |
| Soldiers' Pay | Resource Wars | Items at the Resource Manager in the Faction Base |
| Dragonlord's Coins | Winning Dragons' Conquest | Dragon mounts in Archosaur |
| Arigora Coins | At least 10 Colosseum battles a week | Charms, elixirs and materials for top capes and rings |
| Adventure Coins | Games in the Adventure Kingdom | Fashion, all-class pets, pigments and more |
Supply Tokens come from Nation Wars, Arigora Coins from the Arigora Colosseum and Soldiers' Pay from the Resource Wars of Factions and Faction Bases.
The Auction House
The Auction House lets players sell to each other without staying online. Talk to an Auctioneer: there is one in every major city, and Archosaur has three. You can browse by category or search by name (the search is case sensitive). Only gold coins carried in your inventory can be used, not silver coins or coins in the bank.
- Buying: bid, or use the buy-it-now price if there is one. The coins are taken at once and returned by mail if someone outbids you. A bid near the end adds 20 minutes, but only a few times. Canceling a bid costs a fee.
- Selling: the starting bid is filled in with the NPC price, and you can add a buy-it-now price. Longer auctions cost a bigger up-front fee (a share of the NPC price, at least 500 gold coins); half comes back if nothing sells. A second commission is taken from the sale when it is larger.
- Everything arrives by mail at a Mailbox, usually near Auctioneers and Bankers. Take the items out of the mail, or they will be lost.
The Boutique
The Boutique is the game's item shop and uses its own currency, Gold, which is separate from gold coins. Players can swap gold coins for Gold and back through the Auction House. An Event Boutique uses Event Gold, which comes from events and codes and cannot be turned into coins. This wiki does not list shop prices.
