Coins

Coins are a form of currency in the Cereal Realm. Normally, coins will be encountered in one of three forms: as a coin or one coin, a five coin, or a ten coin.

Scavenging
One coins and rarely five coins can be encountered around living spaces or in the wild. While they are most common within inhabited areas such as towns, they may also be found along pathways or hidden in small crevices in forests, plains, or hills.

They can normally be picked up without causing a conflict and can be obtained with little effort, making them the safest way to gather coins.

Quests
The easiest way to gather coins, five coins, and other rewards in large quantities is by completing quests. While some quests may require adventurers to engage in combat, others may be simple and safe, such as delivering a package or finding a lost item. Overall, quest-givers will provide coins in much larger quantities than could be found through scavenging, making completing quests an important task for those who wish to gather money.

Combat
Another common way to gather coins in large quantities is by engaging in combat. Many enemies, such as bandits, carry coin or five coins on them, which can be scavenged from their body after defeating them. Engaging in combat is, of course, dangerous, but is normally a powerful supply of coins and other important items.

While unethical, coins can also be gathered by defeating townsfolk within towns. This is normally safer, as townsfolk are common and put up little of a fight. However, the chance of a townsperson dropping even one coin is fairly rare. It is impossible for a townsperson to drop a five coin or a ten coin upon their death.

Use in Shops
The main use for coins is the purchasing of items at shops, such as General Stores.
