Introduction to WildStar Currency


The popular role-playing series WildStar has taken the leap into online play.WildStar takes place in the world of Nexus fighting each other and striving to achieve various goals. While fighting for their warparty, players can earn points in player vs player that can be used for helpful items to aid them and their allies. Players can also earn the currency or wildstar gold.


WildStar gold is earned through player vs environment instead of points like in player vs player interaction. It is specifically found on vanquished enemies that players have slain in Tamriel, lying on the ground through out the online world, or by completing quests in game. Players do have other ways to obtain the currency including selling items from their inventory or from trade and skill related tasks or items. No matter how the players earn their gold or where in Nexus they are, everyone will need just the one kind of currency to make all of their purchases. But how can this be with the three fighting alliances and players' in game purchases?

Unlike what usually happens in the real-world,the game world are all "happy" to use the same wildstar gold pieces as a common currency. This acceptance is nice because then there is no need for banks or exchange rate stores between the three areas of AH. However, gold is the only denomination in WildStar. This could make the purchase of smaller items awkward if there were smaller items. As it turns out, players of WildStar will not worry about buying small items as purchasing and selling will be centered around valuable weaponry and armory in addition to raw materials. No silver or smaller coins needed.
