Currency

There are four types of main currency in Age of Wushu: Silver Coins, Taels, Gold, and Bank Notes. Other forms of currency include Relaxation & Expert Points, School Contribution, and Credits. The currencies do not exist in an item form and therefore do not occupy any backpack slots. The Silver Coins and Taels can be deposited into the bank.

Currency in the form of Silver Coins, Taels, and Bank Notes is organized into three units of value: Wen, Liang, and Ding, in ascending order.

1,000 Wen equals 1 Liang
1,000 Liang equals 1 Ding

Silver Coins[]

Silver Coins ( ) is a bound currency that can be used for the following purposes:

To purchase various items from NPCs.
To purchase temporary bank slots.
To repair Wood, Iron, or Silver-quality equipment.
To pay Stagecoach fees.
To pay Manufacturing Life Skill fees.
To use Practice Martial Arts.

Silver Coin Limits[]

Silvers Coins have a carry limit and daily spending limit, both of which are influenced by the player's VIP Subscription status.

Once a spending limit has been reached, the player has the option to use Taels instead. If the player has enabled the corresponding option in their backpack (by checking the radio button), Taels will be automatically consumed once the Silver Coin spending limit has been exceeded. However, this option is rarely used, as Taels are considered more valuable than Silver Coins.

Status	Carry Limit	Daily Spending Limit	Practice Martial Arts Limit
Non-VIP	8 Ding	360 Liang	50 Liang
VIP Subscription	10 Ding	360 Liang	50 Liang
Young Hero Master	10 Ding	410 Liang	100 Liang

Obtaining[]

Silver Coins can be earned through various methods. Some of the most common sources include:

Selling items to NPCs.
Completing tasks.
Selling kidnapped players to NPCs.
Participating in school activities, such as School Spying.
Defeating the bosses in Forbidden Instances.
Defeating the boss in Heart of the Devil.

Taels[]

Taels ( ) is an unbound currency that can be used for trade between players. Taels can also be used for the following purposes:

To purchase exclusive NPC items not available with Silver Coins.
To refine equipment, adding permanent stat boosts.
To reroll the damage and stat boosts on equipment.
To put a bounty on the player who killed you.
To bribe the Warden NPC in order to get out of jail.
To purchase temporary bank slots.
To send messages in the global chat channel.
To apply Artifact effects on Meridians.
To instantly complete tasks.
To use Practice Martial Arts.

Taels can be bought with real world currency or earned from in-game activities.

Buying from Snail Games[]

Taels can be purchased with real money from the Snail Games official website at a rate of $3 for 100 Liang, using a credit card or PayPal. Players can open the website from the in-game Cash Shop interface:

Cash Shop (hotkey Y) → Online Top-Up → Purchase Currency

Occasionally, the developers activate the Silver Rebate Event, which grants players bonus Taels with every Tael purchase made during the event period.

There is a purchase limit in place to prevent inflation. If the Tael purchase option is unavailable, players can try again later, as it may become available. This limit can be permanently removed by contacting Snail Support via email (support@snailgamesusa.com) and requesting that the restriction be lifted from their account, allowing unlimited Tael purchases.

Earning Taels from Activities[]

Taels can be earned through certain in-game activities, but all of these methods require an active VIP Subscription. Free-to-play players can only obtain Taels by selling items to other players. The in-game methods available to VIP players are listed below:

Kidnapping: Players can earn up to 12 Liang 500 Wen when selling a kidnapped player. This must be done during specific server times, as the availability of Taels is time-limited to prevent economic inflation.
Offline jobs: If a player remains offline for over 24 hours, their character may automatically begin working at a nearby facility. This generates Silver Coins — and Taels if the player has VIP status — based on the duration of the job.
Martial Arts Blessing: Players who accumulate at least 140 Daily Activity points are automatically entered into the daily Martial Arts Blessing lottery. This can be won once per week, with a grand prize of 200 Liang.
Martial Arts Celebration Gift Card: Players can use this item at a specific server time for a chance to win up to 150 Liang.

Selling Taels[]

Players are prohibited from selling Taels in exchange for real money. Although some individuals may advertise Tael sales in-game, such practices violate the terms of service. This rule is enforced to safeguard the game company's revenue. While Game Masters do not constantly monitor in-game chat, enforcement actions are taken when these activities begin to significantly impact the company's income. Players engaging in such transactions risk facing account bans.

Gold[]

Gold ( ) is a premium, bound currency that can only be acquired through real-money purchases. Gold can be used to purchase the VIP Subscription and items from the Cash Shop. The Cash Shop items include cosmetic items, Mounts, Annotation Books, and sometimes Pets.

Buying from Snail Games[]

Top-Up — Gold purchase options on the official website.

Gold can be purchased with real money from the Snail Games official website at a rate of $3 for 10 Gold, using a credit card or PayPal. Players can open the website from the in-game Cash Shop interface:

Cash Shop (hotkey Y) → Online Top-Up → Purchase Points

Occasionally, especially during major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, the developers activate the Gold Rebate Event, which grants players bonus Gold with every Gold purchase made during the event period. Previously, Gold could also be purchased through Amazon, but this option is no longer available.

Bank Notes[]

Bank Notes ( ) is a bound currency that can only be purchased with Gold. Functionally, they are similar to Taels; however, Bank Notes are bound to the player's account and have more limited usage options. Bank Notes can be used for the following purposes:

To send messages in the global chat channel.
To apply Artifact effects on Meridians.
To instantly complete tasks.
To use Practice Martial Arts.

Purchase with Gold[]

Players can purchase Bank Notes at a rate of 1 Gold per 10 Liang Bank Notes. This conversion can be performed via one of the buttons in the player's backpack.
