Gold sovereigns are the global currency of Achaea. With gold, you can buy most anything essential to life, such as food, clothing, weapons, and other trinkets. Making gold is never as easy as spending it is, however. Some easy methods of making gold are [[ratting]], catching [[butterflies]], [[fishing]], and completing [[quests]] (as explained in detail above). | |||

The cities | :The cities of Achaea (excepting Eleusis) are infested with rats. Should you slay these rats you can sell their corpses to any of the [[ratmen]]. As a reward for keeping the city clean you will be rewarded with some gold for each rat you return. | ||

Perhaps the | :Perhaps the most well-known method of making gold is that of butterfly catching. Simply obtain a net from [[Vellis]] in [[Minia]], and start hunting for butterflies. Instead of killing them, however, you must WIELD your NET, and attempt to CATCH the BUTTERFLY. Two locations where butterflies are well known to reside are Minia and the [[Savannah]]. Once you are finished, bring your net back to Vellis and GIVE it to him. He will reward you with gold for each butterfly you have caught. Some butterflies are harder to catch than others, and are worth more gold. | ||
*'''Fishing''' ''(see also: [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=FISHING HELP FISHING])'' | |||
:Fishing, while potentially lucrative, requires practice and a great deal of patience. Your skill at fishing depends greatly on your experience in the [[Survival]] skill: the more Survival you know, the more successful you may be at the various fishing actions. It may not seem appealing at first, but as you progress it will become more interesting as you learn to fish properly and efficiently. | |||
