New currency/economy!

Changes, additions, and a economical overhaul.

 

With the incoming Verum 1.0, we decided that in the process of adding and removing things to our server, we made an economical overhaul to the entirety of VerumCraft. In the past of Verum, we have use Cz as a form of currency. What is Cz? Cz was short for Cookiez. It was a remembrance to an old server Kohjix owned back in the day, so we decided to let go of the past, and introduce our new system of currency, with some changes to minigames and shops. 


Copper, Silver, Gold.

How would this work? A system using three currencies seems a little confusing. Well, not really. How we will work with this? I'll explain.



Copper- The default currency. This will replace Cz and will be useable in all playershops, and adminshops. This is what you will gain from jobs, killing mobs, and some arenas.


Silver- The minigame tokens. This one is a bit lengthy, but worth it. As you win arenas, you know that you are getting Cz, but we decided to alter the reward system to make room for this new economy. Whenever you win, you now receive Silver, a secondary economy. What is it useful for? Well it's simple. 
  •  In the mob arena, you now start off with nerfed classes. You have horrible armour, and weapons, you have little to no items... BUT! On each side of the arena is a series of stairs that lead to shops, these shops have one of the four themes: Potions, Weapons/Armour, Enchanting, and Foods. As you kill monsters in this arena, you get 1 silver per monster. When you want to upgrade your class, you go to one of the four shops and buy certain gear. If you want to horde all the silver without spending anything, you will pretty much increase the difficulty of the arena, leading to your loss.
  • In PVP arena, you will use Silver to play as VIP classes and some Legendary classes that Kohjix makes. If you are new, and low on silver, you have the option of 3 free weekly classes that Kohjix gives out!
  • In Hunger Games, you will have a set of free, and VIP classes to choose from. These classes will have a VERY small advantage. Some will start you off with a speed 2 boost for 3 seconds, some will give you a stone sword, etc. But the way you play these classes is by the amount of silver you have to use them.
  • None of these sound interesting? You can redeem your silver and convert it to Copper or miscellaneous prizes!

Gold- This will replace all donator items. Zul and I both love the idea of donator perks, but really hate giving them out... So what we did was set up a system that really allowed flexibility in donator perks. Depending on how much you donated, you will be given an amount of Gold that will basically be Donator Tokens. You can go to a donator shop located in spawn and spend these gold coins on your OWN perks. YOU decide what you want. Want everything in the $40 package now? Just spend it all in that area. Just want all the money? Lay your coins to Copper! It's up to YOU on how you want your perks to be!
