1) What this system is

The economy covers gold flow, shops, buyback, auction trading, bank storage, pet purchases, and the now much larger profession/material market.

2) Who should use it

• Players trying to fund gear progression.
• Crafters selling inputs/outputs.
• Traders using auction listings and claims.

3) Core rules (exact mechanics)

Main systems:

• Currency wallet (gold)
• Shop buy/sell with configurable multipliers
• Buyback queue
• Auction House listings and claims delivery
• Bank tabs/storage
• Pet shop purchases

Current defaults from config code:

• Shop sell multiplier baseline: 0.66
• Auction default listing duration: 12h
• Auction allowed durations: 12h, 24h, 48h
• Auction default max listings: 3 (tiered permissions can raise this)
• Bank default tabs: 1, max tabs: 8
• Pet shop entries currently priced at 250000 gold each

4) Progression path

1. Early game: quest + basic resource sales.
2. Mid game: profession output loops + targeted shop flips.
3. Late game: auction-driven item trading and claims management.
4. Long-term: pet unlocks, stash building, liquidity for class upgrades, and permanent progression materials.

5) Rewards and breakpoints

• Reliable gold starts with repeatable quest/profession loops.
• Auction becomes stronger once you can post consistently valuable items.
• Bank expansion and better inventory discipline increase run efficiency.
• Professions matter more now because essences, bars, gems, hides, forageables, food, potions, and jewelry all feed the economy.

6) Common mistakes

• Overspending on convenience purchases too early.
• Listing weak items on auction and locking slots/time.
• Selling crafting bottleneck items before checking future recipe demand.
• Treating profession drops like vendor trash when many of them are now part of current progression loops.
