Crown of the Obsidians

Template:Infobox Item There are two forms of currency in-game:

• Gold Coins - the main in-game currency. It is accepted by Vendors and used for most purchases.
• Crowns of the Obsidians (also called COTOs)

So, Crowns of the Obsidians are one type of coin that is used for currency in-game. COTOs are remnants of the Obsidian Empire.

Uses for COTOs

COTOs are used in-game in the following ways:

• Major Repairs on equip-able gear.
• In-game Currency - COTOs are a form of in-game currency that can be used for specific transactions, such as
  • Purchases done by trading directly with another player (whereas purchases from a Player Vendor require Gold).
  • Purchases of certain in-game digital assets (e.g. items in the Crown Shop, deed upgrades, additional Player Dungeon points, etc.)
  • Payment of lot taxes.

Where to Obtain COTOs

COTOS can be obtained by the following means:

• Occasionally found as loot on defeated foes or as loot from Resource Nodes.
• Purchased from other players or from Player Vendors.
• Purchased from the in-game Crown Shop.
• Purchased from the Add-On Store on the Shroud of the Avatar website (https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=9085).
• In off line mode, some NPC Merchant Vendors sell Crowns of the Obsidians.

Offline Play

Some NPC vendors sell Crowns of the Obsidians in offline mode.

Digital Purchase Uses 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. Lore Crowns of the Obsidians: These very rare coins left over from the age of the Obsidians can be found occasionally on higher level creatures. In later releases, they can be redeemed with trainers, the oracle, and other locations for blessings. Blessings of the Obsidians: Collect the incredibly rare Crowns of the Obsidians so that the Obsidian Alchemists in Ardoris, Owl's Head, and Soltown will sell you potions that grant powerful blessings. 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. Trivia When first introduced, COTOs had a value of Template:Gold, but no other use. When their use in repairing gear was introduced, their value was reduced to Template:Gold, 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 Template:Gold. Physical Crowns of the Obsidians can be purchased from 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. 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.
