(V) Economy (How to make money)

There are many ways to make money (referred to as "Dei") on the Kingdoms. You can mine gold, complete quests, vote for the server, trade with other players and sell services to other players. You are taxed daily on your balance with 1%.

If you want to mine for gold, you must go to the mining world to mine -- this is the only place to get ores and other materials as the main world does not have any.

Use /mine to access the mining world.

Gold is not a crafting item on the server, every gold ore/ingot/block you move around in a chest or your inventory will be directly send to the Vault. The Vault is accessible through the portal page (under Vault) to exchange your gold into money. Yes, that really means you cannot craft or build with gold at the moment. There is a shop at which you can buy various gold items, accessible by typing /go shop.

The Kingdom offers a number of quests which often have monetary rewards.

Click the "Vote" link above to vote for the server and receive 200 Dei. This can be done every 24 hours (once per day). Be sure to enter your in-game name when voting. There are three other votes for diamonds on the left side of the homepage.

You can trade directly with other players on the server. Advertise things you wish to sell via the /trade channel. If someone agrees to purchase your items, agree on a place to meet and exchange the items there.

Note: The trade happens at your own risk, so meet at a safe spot, where noone else can grab the items! The main spawn is not one of these places!
If you are not given your money/items during a trade by the seller/buyer, nothing can be done! Only trade with those you trust!

You can send money to players by using /pay PlayerName Amount

The Merchant class is developed for players who specifically want to earn more money. You can do this by auctioning via the portal page or having a shop ingame.
