Economy

Unlike prior games, the economy in New Existance is considerably more complicated, being a more advanced and refined version of that seen in Main Vertigo.

During gameplay you will constantly need to exchange and upgrade currency to keep buying things, with some things only being able to be traded and exchanged from certain traders and shops its important to know what holds value and what doesnt.

Primary Currencies
This is a list in order from the lowest value primary trading items to the highest value one

Iron Coins
Iron coins are the second most common trading item, having a value of .3, 3 can be traded for 1 bronze coin, due to their mass quantity aside from some small rural towns most of the time you will be unable to directly buy things with these, requiring a currency trader in bigger cities to make any use of it, making it a less than preferred thing to loot when it comes to currency. However they do often come in massive quantities ranging from 10 - 40 so its worth keeping an eye out on them sometimes. Similarly to bronze coins they can be found in chests, fridges, cabinets and so on. Uniquely this is the only source of "infinite money" farming. as ENIMA Husks drop 10-20 iron coins on death and they have a 90 second respawn period, making it possible although tedious to farm money from them indefinitely, more so if you have a looting melee weapon with armor break.

Bronze Coins
Bronze coins are the most common trading item, having a value of one, early game they will serve as the main currency for the player until higher value items are required to be bought which far exceed the value of a stack (64) of bronze coins, they can be found in chests, fridges, cabinets and so on in both abandoned and inhabited buildings, also certain non respawning low tier to mid tier enemies drop coins on death, mainly raiders. Most buildings can have somewhere around 60-200+ bronze coins making looking in every chest and cabinet you can find vital to getting as much value as possible from exploring locations.

Later mid to late game its recommended to exchange all bronze coins for gold ingots as to save inventory space.

Gold Coins
Gold coins are the third most common trading item, they have a value of 5, making them slightly more valuable than bronze coins, not by much tho, and only certain traders in small and mid sized towns will directly trade with them, usually only being able to be exchanged back into bronze coins, luckily you can pretty much exchange them for bronze coins with every trader that accepts normal currency so, its worth keeping them in your inventory as a stack of 10 can give net you 50 bronze coins making it worth your time for the slot they took in your inventory.

They can be mostly found in small quantities in chests, fridges and cabinets either hidden from plain sight or in abandoned areas of what used to be higher income areas of the city.

Gold Ingots
The First big value item, serving as the main currency for mid to high value transactions, they have a value of 45, making trading for them vital for progression beyond early gameplay as every energy gun will cost you more than 1 gold ingot. They can be sold and acquired from practically every relevant trader making it a very reliable and vital currency.

These can be, although very rarely found in chests, cabinets and so on, mostly at the end of an area and mostly in mid to high tier areas, which usually have dangers lurking, most of the time however you will be trading for these and receiving these as payment for quests.

Emeralds
The Second big value item that can be used as a main currency, they have a value of 135 (3 gold bars), practically all towns have a trader with who you can exchange these for gold bars, making them way more practical to hold on to than diamonds, who outside of being traded for in Unitia's bank loose their value fairly quickly.

These can be very rarely found in some specific major locations, usually hidden or as a reward for clearing a location. Most of the time you will be getting these as payment for trading in the most valuable item in the game however which is
