In Ultima Online, Gold comes in several forms. The gold coin is the most prevalent and the primary medium of exchange. Amounts of up to one million gold coins can be stored in check form, which can save space. It is acquired through a whole host of means:
- found as loot on most creatures;
- from NPC buyers;
- as an NPC quest reward;
- from begging;
- in Treasure Chests;
- from other Player Characters;
- from your own vendor; and
- from items you sell at auction.
Gold coins initially weighed a fiftieth of a stone (so fifty coins stacked together weighed a single stone). Given that that a character with a large amount of strength could carry 600 stone or more, carting about 25,000 coins at once was not uncommon (even when taking into account the weight of equipment-type items such as weapons and armor).
Publish 58 reduced the weight of gold by two thirds, hence holding +75k at once is now possible.
Gold Bricks
Gold also comes in brick form. In this instance, Gold Bricks are a decorative artifact that can be found from doing Treasure Maps, by fighting a Leviathan that is brought to the surface with a Fabled Fishing Net, or as part of the Paragon system in Ilshenar. While not common, Gold Bricks are not extremely valuable.
Golden Ingots & Ore
The Blacksmithy resource that is sometimes referred to as "gold" is actually called Golden Ore and Golden Ingots.
Notes
- Acquiring gold from killing creatures in great quantities sometimes is called "gold farming."
