Sacred:Gold

Gold coins are the unit of monetary exchange in Ancaria. It can be obtained primarily in three ways:

• Enemies sometimes drop gold when they die. Just pick it up.
• Enemies sometimes drop items when they die, are disarmed. Some will drop their bows as they switch to melee combat. Pick up those items, take them to a merchant, and sell them.
• Completing quests often yields a reward of gold, in addition to experience.

Gold has three principal uses:

• You can use it at a merchant to purchase items
• You can use it at a blacksmith to improve your equipment by socketing items into it.
• You can use the item modifier Damage received reduces gold, saving health to reduce your injury during battle

The term Gold also refers to one of the five game difficulty settings when used as in Gold Server or as in Gold Aarnum's (all items dropped reflect the Game Difficulty level.)
