Economy

Economy explains the main currencies, shops, marketplace systems, and trade loops in Kintara. Kintara uses Gold as the main in-game soft currency, while $KINS is the on-chain token used for marketplace and token-based systems. Club membership is paid separately in SOL.

Merchant offline: The Traveling Merchant — formerly the main Gold source — has been found dead and his services are shut down. Gold is now earned primarily from mob kills and the Venomweaver boss. Pre-existing lottery tickets can still be claimed at his body, but no new entries are possible.

Currency Overview
