Gold
General Information
Gold is an in-game currency in Albion Online
- Gold is introduced into the economy by purchasing from the Albion Online Shop or by trading Silver for Gold via the in-game Gold Exchange
- For more information on trading gold such as limits, see: Gold Exchange
- Gold may be traded for Silver and it cannot be lost, dropped, or stored in player banks
- Gold (or its equivalence in Silver) is used to purchase Premium account status and obtain Vanity items
- When it is used for a Vanity item, the Gold is permanently removed from the player-driven economy.
- Previous to the Free to Play released on April 10, 2019, Gold could also be earned by referring new players that purchased Founders Packs
- Gold is Account Wide, meaning that any of your characters have access to the gold. This allows players to transfer Silver to other characters without the assistance of others.
