Game economy before update 1.2[]
There was only 1 currency - gold coins (
), which were earned my completing quests, leveling up or slaying monsters. They were used to purchase anything in the game, with swords and armor being the most expensive. The most expensive item to purchase were A'Báeth and Kaer Morhen Armor for 12 000, while the cheapest were weak modifier potions like Thunderbolt for 30.
Aside from earning coins, they could be simply bought in the store for money. Real world currency was also used to purchase item packs. The most expensive item for purchase with money was a chest of 70 000 for $99,99, while the cheapest was a stack of 200 for $0,99.
Gold couldn't be transferred between players or directly exchanged for XP.

Game economy after update 1.2[]
After the update a premium currency was added - crystals (
), which could be earned by slaying rare or legendary monsters and leveling up. Most items in the store were set to be bought for crystals, making gold losing its significance almost entirely. The only items available with gold were selected weak modifiers like some potions, 2 scrolls and some ingredients. Swords and armor could still be purchased with gold, but their availability was greatly reduced.
Aside from earning crystals, they could be simply bought in the store for money. The most expensive item for purchase with money became a chest with 4000 for $99,9, while the cheapest was a set of 60 for $1,59. Gold coins couldn't be purchased with money anymore, but crystals could be exchanged for gold.

Stock[]
Before update 1.2, all items available for purchase were displayed in the shop page, along with gold for money exchange at the very end. Seasonal packs and bundles would be displayed at the top and would change along with a certain event or season coming to an end.
After update 1.2, only selected items were shown in the shop page. The modifier section would restock after a set amount of hours passed, while the equipment section would take up to a week to reset and display different items. At the very bottom there was a currency exchange section with crystals for gold and money for crystals. It was not possible to exchange gold for crystals or money for gold.
List of available items:
Notes[]
- In January 2023, the ability to purchase bundles and crystals with money was removed. Along with it, players lost opportunity to buy armor and swords.
- In February 2023, store options were updated to display several items previously removed by the final closing update, so that users that remained could resupply.
