💰 Economy.index.title

Gold has one source — monsters — and three sinks: gear, potions and polishes. There is no auction house, no currency exchange, no passive income: every coin in your pocket was carved off something you killed. The economy is deliberately simple so the interesting question is never "how do I earn" but "what do I spend on first" — and the answer is always armor before anything else.

• Income: monster drops sold to vendors, quest rewards, one-time boss trophies.
• Sinks: armor sets, potion stacks, anvil polishes, boss-summon forging fees.
• Golden rule: a purchase that lets you kill faster pays for itself; a purchase that only looks better never does.

The loop compounds: better gear → faster kills → more drops per hour → better gear. The trick is noticing when a purchase breaks the loop (buying potions you never drink) versus feeding it (buying the Leathers that halve your flask burn). The trading page covers which vendor pays most for which drop; the money page ranks the farm routes themselves.
