Currency Guide - Runex (2024)

Introduction

Coins, often called GP, and Platinum Tokens, often called Plats, are the main forms of currency available on Runex. All other currency in Runex tends to be used in it's own location, be that a minigame or exclusive custom content such as Rune Coins. This page is intended to help new players understand all of the different currencies available and where they can be used and obtained.

Regular Currency

"Regular" Currency in Runex would be defined as currencies that are obtainable in mass from multiple different activities.

This type of currency is often the most commonly used whether that be for trading, gambling, and staking with other players or purchasing items from NPCs. Because of this, you will usually encounter these currencies the most and should be the most familiar with them as a result.

Platinum Tokens

Blood Money

Rune Coins

Some items can be exchanged for Rune coins at the Rune coin exchanger located at ::rc.

Rune coins can be used to purchase items from the Rune coin exchanger shop. They can also be traded for Rune diamonds at the Mystical Spirit, and other valuable items at Derse Venator.

"Special" Currency in Runex would be defined as currencies that are more valuable and harder to come by.

This type of currency is often used in specific shops, such as Wanderer's Tokens at the Wandering Merchant, and are used to purchase some of the most powerful equipment and items in Runex. Majority, if not all, of these currencies would be considered mid-to-late game content and can be more difficult for beginners to understand fully because of it.

Wanderer's Tokens

Wanderer's Tokens can be obtained by turning in many different, random items and gear you come across during your gameplay.

To do this you'll speak to the Wandering Merchant found just outside the::shops teleport.

The Wandering Merchant is a weekly activity that requires you to sacrifice items in exchange for these Wanderer Tokens.

Some of the most powerful equipment in-game can be found within his store, but not without an often steep cost.
