Arcadia has three things you collect: money, Arcadia Coins and claim blocks, plus Aether Crystals for the Rune Forge.
Money
New players start with $2,500. Money is earned mostly by selling what you mine, farm and hunt to the server shop (/shop, /sell), and also from jobs, quests, events, crates and other rewards. You spend it in the shop, on /upgrades, in gamemodes and in the auction house.

Arcadia Coins
Coins are earned by playing (or bought on the website store) and spent in the coin shop. See Arcadia Coins and the coin shop for every way to earn them and what they buy.
Sending money and coins
A new account needs 1 hour of active play before it can use /pay, /coins pay or /claimblocks pay, list or buy in the auction house, transfer a claim, place a bounty or turn virtual crate keys into items.
Claim blocks and Aether Crystals
Claim blocks pay for land: one claim block per block of land. New players get 1,200; see Claims for how to earn more. Aether Crystals are earned only by fighting (mob arena waves, world bosses and elite monsters) and are spent in the Rune Forge (/runes).
