Using Gold​

On EarthPol your gold is tracked automatically. You can store it in your inventory or Ender Chest, and it will be added to your gold balance. When you make a purchase, the cost is automatically deducted from that balance. Make sure you have gold in your inventory or Ender Chest when shopping, or the transaction will not go through. Managing where you keep your gold is important and should be a high priority for all players.
