#Your cut
Coin from each kill is split between the hero and you. Pick the split on the top bar:
- Grow — heroes keep most of it, buy better gear sooner and grow faster.
- Balanced — a middle path.
- Payout — more Coin comes straight to you; heroes grow more slowly.
Coin your heroes keep isn't lost: they spend it in your shops and at the blacksmith, and part of that comes back to you. What they pay for a room at the inn or treatment at the clinic is burned — it is not your income — and it costs more the higher the hero's level.
#The town's share depends on the hero
What a hero brings in is split between your town and a realm tax (the levy). Rarer heroes give your town a larger share — a Mythic hero brings in far more per hour than a Common. Veterans keep more of their own loot: as a hero climbs toward its level cap, your town's share shrinks, down to about a fifth of what it brought in at level 1. Old heroes still fight and level up, but new summons are what keep the town's income high. The levy is burned: it leaves the game for good.
#Coin is never printed for free
New Coin only appears when heroes defeat monsters. A lot of Coin is removed again (burned): supplier costs, room and treatment fees, dungeon fees, market fees, exchanges and the withdrawal fee. There is no daily upkeep and no hero wages. This keeps the economy from inflating.
#Exchanging Coin for Crystal
You can exchange Coin for Crystal (one way only). The first exchange of the day costs 4,000 Coin per Crystal, each further one a bit more, up to 25 times per day.
#Ledger
Every movement of Coin, Crystal and items is recorded in a double-entry ledger on the server, and the books are checked automatically.
