Currency

There are two types of regular **currency** in this game: Sesterce and Roman Helmets. The available balance of either currency is available at the top left of the screen, helmets showing first and sesterce showing second. Resistance Points is also a currency but has its own page.

## Sesterce

The primary currency is Sesterce. Those are the silver and gold coins that are collected from the butcher, the fish market, and the tavern as well as through lucky chance completing any collecting actions and by selling items. You need Sesterce and tons of it. It is used to purchase building upgrades, crafting recipes, and items from the traveling merchant.

You can purchase sesterce with Roman Helmets in the market.

## Roman Helmets

The other currency, considered a premium currency, is Roman Helmets (aka helmets). These will build up over time if you do not spend them as you collect helmets once a week in the daily log in rewards, occasionally from fishing/hunting/fighting, and for completing achievements. Most items in the market can be purchased for helmets and helmets can be used to speed up crafting times. However, the best use for helmets (especially early on) is purchasing inventory bag space.

   Helmets can also be purchased for real world money. In the game, the price is shown in euros. If you are hoping to buy helmets, you can convert the price shown using a currency converter to see how much the price is in your particular country's money. In U.S. dollars, the 9.99 euro price comes out to roughly $11.18. If you are purchasing through Facebook, they will automatically convert the price to your selected currency and show you the correct price.

Typically every weekend, helmets go on sale for a period of time. The sale is a 25% bonus to helmets gained rather than a reduction of price. (There hasn't been a weekend sale on helmets since the summer of 2016) Sometimes, the sale will be 50% but 25% is normal. The sale lasts for most of the weekend and you will see how much time you have left in the helmet purchase screen and also as a small icon with a countdown timer under your current helmet total in the top left of your screen.

Often when you level up, a few moments later, you will get an offer for helmets at the 50% rate for 1 hour. The game will randomly offer you one of the purchase levels, not all of them. So you may be offered the 3rd level (the one priced at 9.99 euros) or you might be offered the 6th level (the one priced at 99.99 euros). You cannot control which one it offers so if you are hoping to buy the 3rd level of helmets at the 50% bonus rate, you'll have to be patient. It may be a while before you get that particular offer.

## Other Currencies

During events, other currencies are sometimes available. They cannot be traded or sold. Your total of these collected currencies is only available during the particular event and will be notated by a flag on the right side of your game near your wood, straw, and stone totals. When the event is over, these items will cease to drop and the flag will go away. It is unknown if your previous collection amount from the year before will be reactivated or if you will restart the event in the current year at 0. It is unconfirmed (we can't remember) if blueberries were available for purchase with helmets but Glowing Substance has been confirmed to be purchasable (1,000 glowing substance for 150 Roman Helmets) at some point during the Fog Event.

Blueberries- This item drops from **woods** during the Summer Event. It is used in a collection quest. Collect 50 blueberries at a time to turn into Lunatix every 12 hours.

Glowing Substance- This item drops from ***Strange* Roman Patrols** during the Fog Event. It is used in quests, to purchase decorations, and to buy items from Ekonimikrisis. The Strange Roman patrols respawn every 2 hours, seemingly in pairs. They will continue to respawn every 2 hours until you have several (the maximum I can confirm is 10) waiting on your map while you were offline. Glowing substance can be used to purchase Level 1 Decorations that are normally available for Roman Helmet purchases for the following buildings:

* Tavern: 1000 glowing substance
* Carpenter: 1000 glowing substance
* Stonemason: 1000 glowing substance
* Blacksmith: 1334 glowing substance
* Tailor: 800 glowing substance
* Fish market: 1000/800 glowing substance
* Butcher: 1000/800 glowing substance
* Edifis's Workshop: 1000 glowing substance

\*Buildings with 1 price only have 1 decoration available for Roman Helmets. The 2nd building decoration is available to purchase with sesterce. Buildings with 2 prices have 2 decorations available for purchase with Roman Helmets. The tavern has 2 decorations available and they are the same price.

During the Fog Event, all items from Ekonimikrisis and his ship are available for glowing substance instead of sesterce. Each strange patrol drops 30-75 glowing substance at a time so they build up quickly. Prices are as follows at the beginning:

* Door 489 glowing substance
* Obelisk 490 glowing substance
* Fisher Net 626 glowing substance
* Banner 693 glowing substance
* Pants 697 glowing substance
* Shoes 699 glowing substance
* Jacket 772 glowing substance
* Cake 119 glowing substance
* Wooden Sword 519 glowing substance
* Pan 1,252 glowing substance
* Sawfish 1,261 glowing substance
* Lemon 29 glowing substance
* Glowing Helmet (only available during Fog Event) 1,699 glowing substance
* Newspaper 591 glowing substance
* Rolling Pin 789 glowing substance
* Dipper 679 glowing substance
* Club 1,131 glowing substance
* Spartan Helmet 1,511 glowing substance
* Swordfish 1,201 glowing substance

Prices on the ship took a steep drop 2 or 3 days after the event started. Wait to buy *anything* until the prices drop.

There is a collection quest concerning Glowing Substance. You must "have X amount of glowing substance and kill X amount of strange Romans/have X item" for each tier of the quest. The collection quests ask for 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 glowing substance. This is NOT a "collect overall", but an actual "have as your total available balance" type of collection. So if you spend your glowing substance before you reach the desired number, you will have to continue collecting until you get there. Avoid buying anything with glowing substance until you have finished the collection quests. Also helpful- do not kill more than 2, maybe 3, strange Roman patrols before checking to see if Lunatix has started this collection quest, that way the kills count for your quest.

\*Don't make the anti-fog potion until you have completed the "collect 3,000 glowing substance quest" or you will have to start over collecting to complete the quest. You will need to make an anti-fog potion but it comes AFTER you have completed the collection quest.
