Currency
In Elsword, multiple types of currency exist in Elrios that players can use to conduct transactions.
ED
ED is the main currency of Elrios. It can be obtained in various ways such as defeating enemies in dungeons/hunting fields within your level range, selling items to an NPC, completing quests, or directly obtained from another player via trading or the Market.
ED is primarily used as a fee for a majority of features, such as crafting, enhancing equipment, socketing equipment, and many more.
ED can be found in dungeons/hunting fields in four types of mediums: Bronze ED coin, Silver ED coin, Gold ED coin, and Gold ED Bars. The type of medium that will appear from defeated monsters is dependent on their level and the type of monster they are (e.g. Field Bosses will drop Gold ED Bars while regular bosses drop Gold ED coins).
