Currencies
Ancients runs on three main currencies. Each one is earned differently and buys different things — here's the quick map, with focused pages linked off each.
Money ($)
Money is your cash balance. Check it with /bal, see the richest players with /baltop, and send some to a friend with /pay <player> <amount>.
You earn it mostly by mining: ores you break are auto-sold and paid out as Money Notes — physical banknotes that stack in your inventory. Right-click a note in a safe zone to bank it, or /withdraw <amount|all> in a safe zone to turn balance back into a note for trading.
Money spends at the Shop, the Community Fund, the Auction House (/ah), and as bids in the Black Market Auction House. Full detail on the Money page.
Ancient Energy
Ancient Energy is the enchanting fuel. As you mine, energy charges directly into the pickaxe you're holding — its stored total grows right on the item. It powers the Wormhole, where items you throw in spend their energy to level up and roll enchants, and it charges special items like enchant orbs.
To move it around, /extract <amount|all> pulls energy out of a held item as physical energy orbs — free in a safe zone, but taxed outside one (starting at 20% and shrinking to 5% as you rank up). /combine merges loose stacks back together.
Obols
Obols are the premium currency, and they're special: it's one network-wide wallet that does not reset between seasons. Check it with /obols and send some with /obols pay <player> <amount>.
| Source | How |
|---|---|
| Discord server tag | 2/hr, holding up to 48 — collect with /claimtag |
| Discord boost | 500 per boost, claimed with /claimboost |
| Gang leaderboard | Weekly payouts to the top gangs' leaders |
| Season Pass | Obols on some tiers |
| Web top-up | Buy at the store |
Obols spend in The Obol Store (/store) — ranks, the Season Pass, premium crates, global boosters, and more.
Other rewards you'll meet
Voting for the server earns vote points for the vote shop — a separate minor reward track that sits alongside the three currencies above.
