To build a good economy, a game needs to have good ways of creating and also destroying gold.

Here are the ways of generating gold:

• kill creatures, get their gear and sell it to the NPCs for gold
• some creatures may drop gold, but there are very few of them
• buy gold with real money

Here are the ways of destroying gold:

• buying items, consumables and some materials from NPCs
• buying new skills and upgrading your profession at NPCs
• crafting items may fail which will destroy all the used materials
• enchanting and augmenting items may fail and will destroy the used items and materials
