In-game Money

DrachenFest has its own in-game currency system. When you check in, you’ll receive three copper coins to get you started. These are physical coins used for in-character transactions. 10 copper = 1 silver, 10 silver = 1 gold.

You can purchase additional in-game coins from the on-site store at any time during the event. 

In-game money can be used for things like:

• Buying drinks, services, or gear from in-game enterprises in the Bazaar or your camp (e.g., taverns, blacksmiths, information brokers)

• Paying for guild classes, which teach specialized roleplay abilities (like alchemy, lockpicking, or magic scroll creation)

• Gambling and betting on duels, monster fights, or ridiculous dares

• Hiring mercenaries, spies, performers, or ritualists

• Funding a camp project or sponsoring an event

Real-world vendors (food, costume booths, etc.) only accept real money. In-game coins cannot be used to buy real goods or services from these businesses.

Q: Can I steal or loot coins from other players?
A: No, not without consent. Coins do not have loot tags, and you may not take another player’s in-game currency unless they voluntarily give or roleplay handing it over.

If you're playing a thief or bandit, you can demand coins as a toll or ransom—but the other player must agree OOG (out-of-game) to hand them over. Many players will tip a fun or dramatic mugger, but no one is required to. The best thieves make money by being entertaining, clever, or creating a fun scene—not by pressuring people.
