Class Coins
A reward currency with one coin per class - dropped by the monsters you kill, scaling with how tough they are.
Overview
Class Coins are a reward currency you collect by fighting. They are not gold and they are not anything you buy with gold - they are their own thing, one of the reward currencies each system on the shard uses to hand out its own rewards.
What makes them distinct is that there is a coin for every class. Each class has its own coin, named and coloured to match, plus a universal coin called the Prism Coin. You bank them up and spend them on class rewards.
A Coin for Every Class
There is a Class Coin for every class:
| Class | Class | Class |
|---|---|---|
| Pirate | Necromancer | Bard |
| Elementalist | Ranger | Gladiator |
| Biologist | Assassin | Cutpurse |
Every coin shares the same shape but wears its class's guild colour, so a stack is easy to read at a glance. See Classes for what each path plays like.
How You Earn Them
Class Coins drop from monsters when they die. This is a separate roll from the gold and gear on the corpse - the coin arrives on its own track, so a good kill can pay you gold, loot, and a coin. The catch is that the drop chance is tied to how dangerous the monster was: weak creatures rarely cough one up, while the big, high-health monsters drop them reliably.
That means the way to farm coins is the same as the way to farm good loot - fight up the difficulty ladder. The tougher the target, the better the odds.
Drop Tiers
Like the rest of the loot system, coin chance is driven by a monster's maximum hit points, sorted into named tiers. The more health a creature has, the higher its tier and the better your coin odds - at the top tiers a coin is close to guaranteed.
| Tier | Max HP | Coin odds |
|---|---|---|
| Poor | 1-49 | Very low |
| Meager | 50-199 | Low |
| Average | 200-599 | Moderate |
| Rich | 600-1,999 | Good |
| Filthy Rich | 2,000-4,999 | High |
| Ultra Rich | 5,000-14,999 | Near-certain |
| Super Boss | 15,000+ | Certain |
Exact per-tier percentages and what each coin buys are set in-game and are the numbers to confirm at a live vendor - this page describes how coins drop and scale, not a fixed rate card.
The Prism Coin
Alongside the class coins there is the Prism Coin, a universal coin that isn't tied to any single class. Treat it as the rarer, cross-class variant that sits at the top of your coin collection.
Storing Coins
Coins stack, and there is a dedicated Class Coin Tome that holds the full set - all the class coins plus the Prism Coin - in one tidy book so they aren't cluttering your pack. If you are collecting seriously, the tome is the clean way to keep them.
Tips
- Hunt up the tiers. Coin odds climb with a monster's health, so bigger targets are the efficient farm.
- The coin roll is separate from loot - you never trade gear drops away to get a coin.
- Grab a Class Coin Tome early if you plan to hoard; it keeps the whole set out of your backpack.
