Gold
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 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."
