Help on: obsidian

Ishar uses a coin system with 4 types of coins. You will rarely need to know which types of coins you have, as all shopkeepers and innkeepers accept any type. The most common coin is crafted from obsidian, and the values of all other coins are measured in obsidian coins. For reference, the relative values are:

1 gold coin = 5 silver coins = 25 ivory coins = 50 obsidian coins

1 silver coin = 5 ivory coins = 10 obsidian coins

1 ivory coin = 2 obsidian coins

Coins may be put into containers or held in your purse. While the coins must be in your purse to be used in trade, money in your purse is more vulnerable to theft.
