==Currency==
''Main article: [[Currency]]''

The basic unit of currency in Dereth is the [[Pyreal]]. Most players prefer to use [[Trade Notes]] to save pack space. Trade notes range in denominations of 100 pyreals (I note) to 250,000 pyreals (MMD note). The [[Trade Note (250,000)|MMD]] note is the standard currency when trading with other players and using [[Trade Bot]]s.

Many [[Quests]] reward MMD notes. See [[MMD Quests]] for a list.

===Trade Currencies===
''See also: [[Currency#Trade Currencies]]''

Many forms of trade currency have come and gone as the economy (and [[Loot]] system) changes. Most of the trade currencies past and present have been treasure chest keys.

===Alternative Currencies===
''See also: [[Currency#Alternative Currencies]]''

In addition to pyreals, trade notes and trade currencies, a number of different alternate currencies have been added since the Mhoire Coin was introduced in 2007. Dropped as [[Trophies]] or obtained as rewards from many high level [[Quests]], alt. currency is used to purchase many useful, and tradeable, items from [[NPCs#Alternate Currency|alt currency vendors]].

Alternate currency itself, however, cannot be traded.

==Non-player character vendors==
''Main article: [[NPCs]]''

NPC vendors are found all over Dereth; there are Jewelers, Weaponsmiths, Armorers, Tailors, Healers and many more. Most vendors, especially in towns, can be distinguished by their [[Apron]].

In addition to their wares, most vendors sell the common denominations of [[Trade Notes]]. Each note has a 15% mark-up price but can be cashed free of charge.

===Vendor rates===
''Main article: [[Buy and Sell Rates]]''

All vendors vary in their buy and sell rates. The rates are in percentages and represent the markup they sell goods for over the item's face value. They also pay some fraction of the face value when you sell items to them.

===Secure Trade===
Secure Trade allows players to exchange items in a fair and organized manner without fear of theft. Trades can be initiated by double clicking a player or by dragging items to another player when the "Drag Item to Player Opens Trades" option has been enabled.

===The Marketplace===
''Main article: [[Marketplace]]''

====Trade bots====
''See also: [[Buff Bot]], [[Portal Bot]], [[Combat Macro]], [[Plugins]]''

Trade bots are automated player characters run by Decal scripting programs that allow them to sell their wares to other players via the Secure Trade panel. Trade Bots are most commonly found in the Marketplace. On Darktide, where tradebots would be killed if they operated in the marketplace, they instead operate safely from behind their housing barrier.

===The trade channel===
The global Trade chat channel is for advertising your items and arranging in-game trades with other players.

===Tradeskills===
[[Crafting|Tradeskills]], also known as crafting skills, are used to create items of wealth and worth for sale and trade in the world of Asheron’s Call. Trade skills are essential aspects of most quests in Asheron’s Call. Adventuring parties and allegiances in Asheron’s call usually have many people skilled in tradeskills to call upon.
