What is Gold?
Gold is the de facto currency of the setting - some local areas may primarily use other currencies, but gold is accepted everywhere. Valuable and rare, golden coins are a currency that everyone recognizes and everyone wants. That it is tinged with magical essence just helps matters, ensuring that Dragons and Taguel want it as much as everyone else. It is used for all mechanical purposes in the RP, from buying new weapons to upgrading Stones, though you are welcome to explore the concept of local currencies (generally barter or vouchers) for strictly in-character purchases, such as lodgings or food. Gold is still the standard everywhere, but some people just have to be different.
I want!
You automatically earn ten gold per post, and staff-run events may offer bonus gold. You are free to track it in-character as well or simply assume that you always have enough gold for stuff like food/lodgings and keep your post-earned gold strictly out of character; how you treat things in-character is up to you. This also applies to earned weapons; if you buy a weapon out of character, you may acquire it in any way you please in-character, whether purchased in-RP or looted from a dead foe. You may technically carry a weapon that you have not officially earned OOC yet, but will not be able to use it until you go through the proper channels - this is more so you can have family swords or other sorts of legacy weapons that "unlock" in-RP when you reach an appropriate point.
The Shop
Gold is spent in the Shop, which is located in the top bar or can be accessed by following this link. Most of it should be pretty self-explanatory; swords are good for stabbing people, Fire magic does flashy hot stuff, so on and so forth. Masteries permanently unlock additional weapon types (and give you a free copy of the Iron version fo that weapon, or weakest magic of that type for magic), items permanently add passive bonuses, Skills must be attached to a specific weapon (ex. your starting Iron Sword, or that Silver Sword you bought 200 posts later). Melee Skills can be used by any melee weapon. The Weapons and Magic topics go into more detail on what exactly each weapon/tome does.
