Gold

Gold is the currency used in Shadowbane. I can only be found on mobs corpses or harvested from mines.

Killing mobs specifically for wealth gain is called farming.

Uses

Gold has many uses:

• Purchasing goods and services from players
• Purchasing items from NPCs
• Paying for maintenance costs associated with buildings and vendors
• Upgrading vendors, guards, and buildings within a city
• Repairing damaged buildings
• Funding the use of a Siege Spire

Gold Cap

There is a limit on the amount of gold the player or their buildings can hold at once, and gold may not be deleted.

• A player may hold no more then twenty million (20,000,000) in his inventory at one time.
• A bank or vault cannot hold more than fifty million (50,000,000).
• A building's strongbox can hold up to thirty million (30,000,000).
