Currency

The coin system uses a simple 10:1 rule between denominations.


 * 1 platinum piece (pp) = 10 gold pieces (gp) = 100 silver pieces (sp) = 1,000 copper pieces (cp)

By convention, the game displays item values and transaction totals only in terms of gp and lower, though it conducts transactions using all coin types in ways that minimize your final total coin count. When you sell items, the game converts your incoming gp to pp as much as possible. (If you sell something listed worth 500 gold, you actually receive 50 platinum.) When you buy items, the game spends your smallest coins first. (If you have 10 gp and 1,009 cp, and you buy something that costs 10 gp, the game takes 1,000 of your cp.) The game also makes change when necessary.

There is no way to directly exchange coins of one type for another. Fortunately, coins are weightless, so there is little need for that service. If you really feel the need to convert your coins to higher denominations, you can sell something valuable to the general vendor, then buy it back.

Money cap
The game limits the amount of money a character can own.
 * For VIP and Premium players, it is limited to about 4.3 million pp ( to be exact, the limit of a 32-bit unsigned integer in cp).
 * For Free to Play players, it depends on your character level. At level 1, it is ✅. This limit doubles for each level gained until at level 13 it reaches the same limit as VIP & Premium players.
 * You are allowed to send 9,999 pp, 9,999 gp, 9,999 sp, and 9,999 cp per in-game mail.

Note: If you are 90Kpp from cap and sell 100Kpp worth of goods, the items will be sold, but your character will gain zero platinum in the transaction.
