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

Currency	Type	Main use	Notes
Gold	In-game soft currency	Shops, property, casino, pets, furniture, cosmetics, mounts, and chests	Earned through mob and boss kills, passive Money Printer income, casino winnings, wagers, dice games, and admin grants.

The Casino on the Mainland is Kintara's dedicated gambling area. Inside the building, players can play roulette and blackjack for Gold. The outdoor Spinner Wheel on the plaza offers a free spin every 24 hours plus an optional paid spin.

See Casino for table rules and payouts, and Spinner Wheel for spin odds and prizes. Note: 30% of all casino losses flow to Money Printers across Kintara as passive player income.
