Economy: ASD, GOLD, Fees
The game's two currencies, how to earn ASD, the daily cap, and what you pay for crafting, sleep, licenses and repairs.
Two currencies
| Currency | What it is | How to get it | Where it's spent |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASD | "Aztec-Sumerian dollars", a wad of bills in your inventory (exchanged in whole cents, 0.00) |
job board tasks, work for Enlil, RIK the buyer | crafting, repairs, licenses, sleep, rentals, Auction |
| GOLD (coins) | premium currency: an account balance, never an item | purchase on the project's website and bot; smelting Gold Mine ore at the blacksmith | Market (deeds, tack, backpacks), player-to-player deals, selling horses |
To check how much money you have, use /money. GOLD is not reset when the world is wiped.
Earning ASD
- The job board + Enlil's work (logs for the storehouse) + RIK the buyer together give no more than 450 ASD per real day per character. For accounts younger than 3 days the cap is 150 ASD, and the buyer is closed.
- A task that doesn't fit into what's left of your cap isn't credited partially, so come back tomorrow.
- RIK the buyer (from level 5) buys resources at 55% of the administration's price list.

Cash rules
Money is a physical wad in your inventory. You can't put it in a chest, a crate, or horse or boat bags. You can only hand it over via trade or by dropping it. When you die, your money drops into your loot bag.
Gold and ore
In-game gold comes only from the Gold Mine and from purchases. Gold and silver nuggets and bronze ore are smelted at the blacksmith into GOLD coins or into ingots. The smelting limit is 20 coins per day per account.
Anti-abuse protection
New accounts are restricted: an account younger than 7 days can give others no more than 100 ASD per day. This protects against alt-account bots.
