Right now, the general thrust of living in Pax Dei’s world is merely survival. Sure, you can thrive and build a big ol’ town or home base, but for those who measure success by monetary power, there’s nothing to work towards. At least there isn’t until the survival MMO’s next major update, which is planning to introduce a deeper in-game economy.
The lifeblood of this new economic trade system will be the currency of gold, which will initially be earned as NPC loot. Another major piece of the puzzle will be the ability to build market stalls that players can use to showcase crafted items, resources, or other goods, while shoppers will be able to search and filter for the things they’re looking for while at a stall.
As with other buildings, multiple players can work together to effectively form a market square and showcase their wares to others, and stall owners can place restrictions on who can place sell orders if they wish.
While gold is primarily a driver for the upcoming economy, the currency can also be used to purchase a resource known as grace, which in turn can be used to perform small non-combat spells like enhancement of crafting and gathering or fast travel to a specific area. Grace can also be earned by logging into the game, but apparently miracles can be earned a bit faster by flinging coin around. Ponder that one for a bit while you wait for this update to land at some unspecified point in the future.
