Currencies

There are **five different currencies** in the game: gold , recipe points , gems , furniture coins , and stamps . Each currency type is used to purchase different things.

## Gold

Gold is the main and most important currency in this game. Gold coins look like round yellow coins with a paw print in a darker yellow (gold) in the center and a bevelled edge.

You earn gold primarily through selling your dishes and by completing other activities, such as using the claw machine, claiming the Jar Fairy's gift, completing your daily missions, opening cats' gifts and more.

The way the gold system works in this game can be confusing to some, but it's similar to how we would say 1,000$ is equivalent to 1k. But instead we have 10,000=10a, 10,000a=10b, etc. At z, we have 10,000z=10aa and this pattern continues indefinitely.

### Calculating your hourly gold rate

Your cooking facilities output **240 soup**, **211 juice**, and **189 stir-fry** dishes per hour (regular cooking speed). The types of soup/juice/stir-fry are randomized, so to calculate an hourly rate, the game takes the average selling price of all soup/juice/stir-fry from your recipe book.

> **1hr gold = 240 x avg(soup prices) x 1.2 [Herb Stand 20% effect] + 211 x avg(juice prices) x 1.5 [only if you have the Ice Cave] + 189 x avg(stir-fry prices) x 1.5 [only if you have the Sweet and Sour fountain]**

The Jar Fairy's gift is the 1hr gold amount times the total Jar Fairy bonuses from equipment, collection sets, and cat subskills.

## Recipe Points

Recipe Points are used to upgrade recipes in your Recipe Book, which increases the sale price of a specific dish by 10%. They look like green S-shaped lightening bolts. You earn recipe points passively through your Rest Facilities or by claiming the Frog Prince's gift. Your cats will also occasionally give you recipe points in their gifts. Other sources for recipe points include the daily mission rewards and offline reward among others.

You can increase your recipe points obtained by upgrading the level of your Rest Facilities, adding fish to the Aquarium, and collecting equipment and furniture which provide bonuses to recipe point production.
