Money is character class (profession) based. It is based on the following values:
 | Copper Piece (CP) - equivalent to a penny. With a single copper piece, characters could buy candles, a torch or chalk. |
| Silver Piece (SP) - equivalent to a dime. 10 CP = 1 SP. Basic currency for commoners as it is the equivalent of a day's labor. |
| Gold Piece (GP) - equivalent to a dollar. 10 SP = 1 GP. The standard unit of measure for goods. An good Artisan could earn a GP in one day. |
| Platinum Piece (PP) - equivalent to a ten-dollar bill. 10 GP = 1 PP. Not in common circulation but often found in treasure troves. |
| Coin | CP | SP | GP | PP |
| CP | 1 | 1/10 | 1/100 | 1/1,000 |
| SP | 10 | 1 | 1/10 | 1/100 |
| GP | 100 | 10 | 1 | 1/10 |
