Currency

*This article lacks media - images, GIFs, or videos may need to be added.*

Currency, referred to as simply *Planemo*, is a mechanic from the Economy plugin, which was first introduced in Planet SMP. While the concept of a functional economy was first tested in Season 3, and later developed upon heavily in Season 4, integrated currency is a signature feature of Planet SMP and the standout addition in the 1.1. Update.

The currency used in Planet SMP follows the U.S. dollar format - the main currency is the *Planemo* (the dollar), with the *Comet* being the microcurrency (or the cent).

## Earning Planemo

*Planemo* is primarily earned in four ways; from selling items, defeating mobs, participating in community events, and building shops. For a tutorial on building shops, go to Guide:Creating a Shop.

### From Selling Items

As a currency, *Planemo* is naturally passed around between players. By using the "/money pay" command, players can easily exchange currency with each other - and any payments at player-made shops will go directly to the shop owner without taxes or reductions. Additionally, many nonrenewable or rare treasure items (i.e. horse armor, music discs) can be sold at the Community Center in the Shopping District for an easy profit.

### From Defeating Mobs

Most mobs have a slight chance of dropping *Planemo* upon death. Mobs that are harder to find, kill, or farm will generally drop more *Planemo* with a higher chance. Mobs from spawn eggs or mob spawners will *not* drop any *Planemo* upon death.

### From Community Events

*Planemo* payouts are often used as a reward and an incentive for participating in community hosted events. Examples of these events would be Arcadia Coliseum fights, group survival structure raids, or events from the Otherworld portal. Payouts are usually decided during the event, and are given out by an operator. Generally, the average payout for a medium-sized event is about 10 *Planemo*.

### From Building Shops

Building a shop or a public-use community build will often result in a *Planemo* lease. For shops, once you are finished, you need to request a Deed from an operator to earn a lease. The amount earned depends on shop size and location, but will usually be around 15 *Planemo*. For community builds, asking for a payout from an operator is usually enough. The amount earned for community builds will generally be around 5 *Planemo*.

## Spending Planemo

The primary use for *Planemo* is buying and selling items with other players - however, there are other uses for earned currency that do not have to do with trading with other players.

### Dusk Hollow

*Main Article: Dusk Hollow*

The Dusk Hollow is a store in the Shopping District that acts as the primary server-run market. All stock is infinite, and the money spent goes to no one. The stock consists of unobtainable, modified, and unique items - weapons, enchantments, and potions - alongside paid service, such as instant healing or item repairing. The items sold vary drastically in price, but are usually on the expensive side. However, the stock is high quality and useful as a result.

### Shrines

Shrines are found throughout the world, usually at hotspots in districts. The most common of these are teleport shrines, which will instantly teleport the player to far away or inconvenient spots at a cheap price. There are additional Shrines for weather and time of day.
