Regardless of where or how you communicate, the rules for using language in Achaea are simple. Do not inflict overly obscene language on people who you do not ''know'' are willing to hear it, and do not use discriminatory language (racist, homophobic, sexist, etc) AT ALL, in any circumstance.

This section explains about two types of currency more valuable than gold, called [[credits]] and [[Mayan crowns]]. A word of caution: if you obtain credits and Mayan crowns through in-game means (i.e. bought from or traded with another adventurer), then you cannot trade them to your alternate characters as it would constitute [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea/mayan-crowns seconds abuse]. | |||
==Credits== | |||
Credits are a valuable form of [[:Category:Currency|currency]] used to buy [[:Category:Artefacts|artefacts]], trade with other adventures on the open credit market, or bind to yourself for some other purpose. Adventurers get credits in a wide variety of methods including from other players, work as a [[mentors|mentor]], organisational credit sales, and as prizes in events or [[Fellowship of Scarlatti|art and bardic contests]]. Some adventurers supplement their in-game credits with [http://www.achaea.com/Credits credit purchases] made with real-life currency. | |||
Unlike credits, which can be used as currency between adventurers, bound credits are just as their name applies - bound to your character and for your use only. Once you have bound credits, you can never transfer, buy, sell, or get a refund for them. Adventurers receive bound credits when they achieve certain levels of experience, trading in artefacts they no longer wish to own, organisational credit sales, or prizes in contests. | |||
Many new adventurers used bound credits as a way to get lessons via the CREDITS CONVERT # TO LESSONS. Every adventurer will also receive a bonus of 2.5 lessons per credit on the first 1000 credits converted to bound credits, giving them a potential 2500 lessons. Other methods of obtaining bound credits, i.e. trading in artefacts, do not yield any bonus at all. | |||

==Mayan Crowns== | |||
Adventurers receive Mayan crowns in a myriad of ways which include monthly promotions, trading with other adventures, and [[ship trades]]. Crowns are used to purchase items from the [[Shop of Wonders]]. A shop filled with artefacts commonly found among the upper echelon of Achaean society, all items purchased in the shop are both resetting and non-decay (unless otherwise stated) and may be purchased as gifts for other adventures. | |||
