Digital Purchase

Template:DigitalStore Template:DigitalStoreTable Template:DigitalStoreTable Template:DigitalStoreTable Template:DigitalStoreTable

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.[1]

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.[2]

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.[3]

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.[4]
  • 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.
