Money

Money ($) is your cash balance — the everyday spending currency for gear, decorations, and player trading.

Check it with /bal (or /balance), see the richest players with /baltop, and send some to a friend with /pay <player> <amount>.

How you earn it

Money comes mostly from mining. Ores you break are sold automatically and pay out as Money Notes — physical banknotes that stack in your inventory rather than landing straight in your balance. Notes always hold the full sale value — the old 15% sell tax outside safe zones is gone. You can also earn money by selling items to other players on the Auction House. See Selling & the Shop for how auto-sell and sell prices work.

Money earned from mining (and only mining — not trades or payments) is tracked as Mining Revenue, one of the stats that can headline a Weekly Board.

Money Notes

Money Notes are a physical item, so you carry your earnings until you bank them:

  • Right-click a note in a safe zone to claim its value into your balance.
  • /withdraw <amount|all> (in a safe zone) turns balance back into a Money Note — handy for trading cash directly with another player.
  • /combine now stacks all your Money Notes into one, the same way it tidies Ancient Energy stacks and XP Bottles.

What it buys

Spend Where
Gear, decorations, and supplies the Shop (/shop)
Community Fund contributions Community Fund (/fund)
Items listed by other players Auction House (/ah)
Bids on rare loot Black Market Auction House (/bah)

BAH bids are still paid in money: the bid is deducted from your balance the moment you place it, and refunded in full if someone outbids you.
