Currency

Within Palia there are various types of Currency that can be used by The Player to acquire things such as items, inventory upgrades, housing extensions, tool repairs, and decor. Each of the various currencies can be earned through different means, including questing, looting treasure chests, selling eligible items, accomplishments, leveling skills, and Villager relationship progression.

Palian Currency can be broken down into three main categories: General, Limited-Time, and Premium.

Currency is either tracked as a non-item accumulative total shown on the Player's Inventory panel and other related interfaces, or as a physical item that can be collected, spent, or stored.

General Currency

Gold

Gold is the most basic currency of Palia. It is the primary means of obtaining Backpacks, Storage Chest upgrades, Wallpaper, Flooring, and certain Cooking recipes. Gold can also used to purchase certain materials and Decor items that could alternatively be obtained by the Player using their Skills.

Gold is tracked in the Player's inventory, and does not take up any space in storage.

For more information, see Gold.

Renown

Renown is the second-most common currency in Palia. It is generally used to increase the Player's maximum Focus, and their focus bonus. Renown can also be used to unlock undeveloped land on the Player's Housing Plot, and to purchase select Housing items at City Hall.

Renown is tracked in the Player's inventory, and does not take up any storage space.

Skill Medals

Each skill has its own medals which are used exclusively to purchase items from their respective Guild Store. Skill Medals unlock at level 10 for each individual skill, and are acquired from the Player's continued efforts to hone their crafts from Weekly Challenges and leveling up.

Skill Medals are tracked directly under each of the related skill level trackers in the Player's inventory window.

For more information, see Skill Medals.

Lucky Coins

Lucky Coins are a very unique currency in Palia. They are gifted to the Player for spending money at the General Store and are used in combination with Zeki's Wondrous Machine for a chance to win prizes that range from the mundane to the very desirable. There are only a couple of ways to obtain Lucky Coins and, in general, are seen as an optional pursuit, rather than necessary.

Lucky Coins are an inventory item, and count towards the total when stored in the Housing Plot.
