Introduction & Balance

All users come into the server the same way you came into the real world: with $0.00 in your bank account. Not to fret, you can start earning in-game currency as soon as you join. But before you start earning all that money, you’ll need to learn how to check the balance of your bank account:

• /balance [player] displays the amount of in-game-currency the player currently has.

• /balancetop displays the server’s wealthiest users in order.

Worth & Selling to the Server

When you’re ready to start earning some cold, hard cash, you can start by selling items and blocks from your inventory. Almost every in-game item can be sold to the server, each with their own worth. As a general rule of thumb, the rarer the item is, the more valuable it is. In addition to this, bigger stacks of items sell for more (…duh).

Determining an item’s worth

Before you sell your most prized posessions to the server, you’ll probably want to know just how much you’ll get for it. There are two ways of determining just how much money the server will grant you for selling your items:

• /worth calculates the worth of the item stack in your hand.

• /worth <item> [amount] calculates the worth of the item stack specified.

Selling to the server

When you’re ready to start selling some items, you can use the commands below to sell items from your inventory in exchange for in-game currency:

• /sell <item> [amount] will sell all (or a specified amount) of a specified item in your inventory.

• /sell hand [amount] will sell all (or a specified amount) of the item you are currently holding.

Buying from the Sevrer

Public Market Waypoints

Now that you’ve successfully become filthy-rich by selling your soul to Hollywood, it’s time to spend some of that worthless digital currency! There are several ways to spend your money, perhaps the easiest of which is buying items from the server. When you’re ready to visit the server’s in-game market, you can teleport to the warp waypoints Shop and Town.

• /warp <name> teleports your player to a server waypoint.

• /warps displays which server-wide waypoints you can currently teleport to.

• /warp Shop teleports your player to the server’s general market.

• /warp Town teleports your player to the server’s roleplay-items market.

Using the Server’s Sign Shops

If you’re buying items from the server’s super-advanced, high-tech sign shops, you can buy and sell items in bulk and as many times as your little heart desires. When using server-owned sign shops, they will look similar to the one pictured below:

Figure 1

The figure above shows an example of a Server Shop that is selling one (1) Diamond for $50 and buying one (1) diamond for $25. When using sign shops, USE ITEM (default: Right-Click) purchases items and ATTACK (default: Left-Click) sells items.

1. The first line indicates that it is, infact, a Server Shop
2. The second line on each sign-shop shows the amount of items you are buying/selling at once.
3. The third line on each sign-shop shows the buy & sell prices of the items in question. In the figure above, the shop is selling one (1) item for $50 and will buy them from your player at a rate of $25 each.
4. The fourth and final line on each sign-shop shows the item being marketed. In this example, the item being marketed is a Diamond.

Payment & Currency Tokens

In the economy of many popular Minecraft servers, there exist a payment command to easily send money from one player’s account to another. Halara has disabled this command (lol get pwned). In order to get around this, in-game currency must be transferred into Currency Tokens (we’ll talk about how in just a bit!) Just like Apple with the headphone jack, Halara is passionate about making changes to encourage you to spend money. So- let’s get spending… with currency tokens!

Using Currency Tokens

Just like the real world, Halara makes use of “physical” currency in the form of currency tokens. These are used for several reasons, including payment to other users and npc shops. Just like children, not all currency tokens are created equally. Although they are similar in appearance, the description of each token indicates it’s worth if transferred to virtual currency. There are a set number of values that a token item may be worth, and they are as follows:

Gold Tokens

• $1 Token
• $5 Token
• $10 Token
• $20 Token
• $50 Token
• $100 Token
• $500 Token

Blue Tokens

• $1,000 Token
• $5,000 Token
• $10,000 Token
• $20,000 Token
• $50,000 Token
• $100,000 Token
• $500,000 Token

Green Tokens

• $1,000,000 Token
• $5,000,000 Token
• $10,000,000 Token
• $50,000,000 Token
• $100,000,000 Token
• $500,000,000 Token

Pink Tokens

• $1,000,000,000 Token

Converting to/from Currency Tokens

Currency token items can be converted to/from digital currency with the following commands:

• /withdraw <amount> extracts the specified amount from your bank account into currency tokens.

  • Creating currency token items will drop the items at the user’s feet.
  • The amount specified is granted in the minimum number of tokens possible.

• /deposit converts all currency token items from your inventory into digital currency.
