Gold coins are the monetary exchange unit in Ancaria. It is acquired quite easily -- often merely by picking it up off the ground. Of course you must usually defeat an enemy first to force him to drop the gold. This is not always quite as easy. Gold is also sometimes found inside chests, barrels and in special "hidden" locations you may encounter. You can also obtain gold by selling items. Note that in Sacred 2, unlike Sacred Underworld, you can convert items to gold by "selling" them to yourself. Even when you are not at a merchant, you can Ctrl-click an item in your inventory, and it is "sold" essentially for salvage. That is, you receive a lesser amount of gold (half) than you would at a merchant. This can be useful to clear inventory space when out in the field -- you no longer need abandon unneeded items.
Gold is useful primarily for interactions with special NPCs in the game. There are several characters located throughout Ancaria that will buy and sell items, or perform services for you. The most common are:
- Merchant: The merchant will buy and sell items.
- Runemaster: The Runemaster will sell you runes in exchange for 1 or more runes plus some gold. He also sells jewelry, and, like the Merchant, will buy items.
- Blacksmith: The Smith will perform forging for a price. He also sells armor, which includes some jewelry; and also damage conversion items. The Smith, too, will buy items exactly like a Merchant.
- Horse Dealer: The horse dealer will buy and sell horses.
Note that the term "Gold" also refers to one of the five game difficulty levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Niobium.
