Economy
Economy is one of our favorite aspects and we have placed a good deal of effort into making sure that it is meaningful and well represented. The unit of currency for Abandoned Realms is the gold coin.
Amassing Wealth
Discover the standard avenues for harvesting gold and legendary resources throughout the continent of Serin.
Killing NPCs
The most common way to gain gold, simply mug your nearest inanimate denizen of Serin and there will usually be some money left in his corpse. Feel free to take it from him, he'll no longer be needing it. If you are a class that depends upon physical force, you may find this is your most effective way to gain money.
The amount of gold an NPC is likely to have is dependent on its level amongst other things, such as the realism issue of a wolf containing gold coins.
Selling to Shops
Though shopkeepers are generally poor, if they have recently made a sale then they will be able to buy items related to what they are usually selling. This can be handy for making a quick profit in a pinch, but usually you will find the shops are quite void of coin.
Quests
There are many quests built into the areas. Quests will often lead to rewards along the way, some of which are monetary. An average quest will take a fair bit of time and exploring to complete, and can only be done once per character.
Use the "QUESTOR" game command to keep track of quests you have found. The first five are revealed to you at birth, the rest you must find by exploring for them.
Tasks
Many shopkeepers and guildmasters will both allow you to complete tasks for them. To begin a task, use 'task' at an appropriate location. From there, you will generally be asked to fetch an item or greet a person. There are rewards for completing tasks, and for a class that is particularly mobile, like an avian mage, there's no faster way to turn your knowledge of the realms into profit.
Extermination
Goblins are a pest upon the city of Seringale. Near the south gates of the town, where the goblins approach from, a task force has been set up to try to attack approaching goblins. The task force offers payment for goblin carcasses to fill their trash bags - just hand them over.
Cabal Currencies
Each cabal offers a form of soft currency. Unlike gold, this cannot be looted by other players. These currencies are gathered by accomplishing various challenges or participating in roleplaying events.
- Medals : Rewarded by killing overlords, redeemed at Seringale's arena.
- Relics : Rewarded by questing and killing tough bosses, redeemed at Timaran.
- Chips : Rewarded for roleplaying, redeemed at Peaches in the Herald's tavern.
