[[Crowns of the Obsidians]] can be used to purchase items in the [[Crown Shop]].

Crowns of the Obsidians can be combined with any item at the appropriate crafting station to restore that item's maximum durability. Each additional repair will reduce the amount restored.

Additionally, Crowns of the Obsidians can be used to pay rent on a weekly basis for player lots.

:'''''Obsidian Crown Merchants:''' These Merchants only accept the incredibly rare Crowns of the Obsidians (COTOs). COTOs can be found on just about anything that provides loot (monsters, ore nodes, etc) but appear more frequently the higher the difficulty of the target. For now, Obsidian Crown Merchants only sell the Potions of the Obsidians we introduced in Release 29, but we will be expanding their inventory over time to include various exotic and rare items. These merchants can be found in Ardoris, Brittany, Aerie, and Resolute. Please note that the fictional background for the Crowns (including a line of quests within the Obsidian laboratories of the Epitaph) has not yet been implemented, but we wanted to add a means to exchange these coins as soon as possible.''<ref>Darkstarr, [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=59062 Release 30 Instructions]</ref>

*When first introduced, COTOs had a value of {{gold|2500}}, but no other use. When their use in repairing gear was introduced, their value was reduced to {{gold|250}}, before finally being changed to no value after the Gold Crown was placed in the [[Add-On Store]]. Their usage in repair and rent is tuned toward roughly an hour of casual play, so that their value is roughly {{gold|3500}}.
*Physical [[Community:Relics by Rild/Crown of the Obsidians|Crowns of the Obsidians]] can be purchased from [[Community:Relics by Rild|Relics by Rild]]. (Website can no longer be found)
*Prior to [[Release 63]], values of CotOs were roughly $1 --> 1 CotO. In Release 63, this was changed to $1 --> 100 CotOs.<ref>DarkStarr, [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=104292 Release 63 Instructions]</ref>
*Formerly, the following other types of crowns were available. These coins were removed in [[Release 60]] in order to consolidate the currency into a single type.
:*[[Bronze Crown of the Obsidians]]
:*[[Constantan Crown of the Obsidians]]
:*[[Copper Crown of the Obsidians]]
:*[[Iron Crown of the Obsidians]]
:*[[Meteoric Iron Crown of the Obsidians]]
