Economy & Crowns

Unlike most RPGs, quests in Graven Pall reward experience and items only, never crowns. This keeps money meaningful. You earn crowns through three sources:

• Working a job: collect wages on an hourly timer
• Selling NPC trophies: defeated creatures drop items that vendors will buy
• Level-up rewards: each level grants crowns equal to your new level × 2
• The bonus command: watch a short ad once per hour for crowns, hunger, or a revive

Every crown matters. Food costs 7-14 crowns, weapons range from 15 to 12,000, and defecting from a faction costs 500. Spend wisely.

Jobs provide a reliable income. Visit a location with job postings and browse what is available. Some jobs require you to be at a specific location to collect wages, while others work anywhere.

Collect your wages with the work command. Wages accumulate over time; the longer you wait, the bigger the payout.

Use quitjob (or resign) to leave your current position and take a new one.

Vendors are scattered across Gravenwald. Each room with a vendor allows you to browse, buy, and sell.

Faction Discounts

Faction members receive discounts at vendors in their territory. Commoners get a flat 10% discount everywhere. Choir members save 15% in Gravenhaven, Unbound save 15% in wilderness regions, and Seers save 15% at all vendors.

Level-Gated Items

Powerful weapons require a minimum level to purchase. You can see these requirements in the shop listing. The top-tier Pale Harvester requires level 75 and costs 12,000 crowns.

Selling Items

Vendors buy items at reduced prices. NPC trophy drops (Soul Leech Husk, Porcelain Mask Shard, etc.) are specifically designed to be sold; they are the primary way to convert combat into crowns.

Send crowns directly to another player in the same room:

Aliases: pay, send. Both players must be in the same room.

The Hooded Peddler is a wandering merchant who travels between rooms on a timer, carrying a randomized selection of stock. When the Peddler arrives in your room, you will see an announcement. Use shop to browse their wares.

The Peddler carries items you cannot find at regular vendors. Stock refreshes each time the merchant moves. Do not attack the Peddler — attempting to do so results in instant death.

Defeated creatures sometimes drop trophy items. These have no use except to sell to vendors for crowns. Trophies are the primary combat-to-economy pipeline.

Beyond jobs and trophy drops, several activities provide additional income:

• Fishing — Sell your catches to fishmongers in the Waterfront and Witchfen. Rarer fish fetch more crowns.
• Digging — Unearth buried items and sell finds to The Keeper in the Hollow Sanctum or the Scrap Buyer in Gravenhaven.
• Pit Fighting — The Arena Pit offers double-or-nothing rewards across 5 rounds. High risk, high reward.
• Alchemy — Brew potions from gathered ingredients and sell them to vendors, or use them to save on medicine costs.

See the Activities page for details on each.
