Age of Conan (AoC) is a barbaric fantasy-themed MMORPG developed by Funcom. The game brings players to experience live violent from the Hyborian Age, a fantasy setting created by Robert E. Howard.

There is a civilized system of commerce and currency. Players in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures bargain for goods and services using pieces of AOC gold, silver, As players struggle to become the legend of the Hyborian Age, the wealth in gold is not a factor to be neglected.

Players spend AoC gold as a median of trade to purchase their desired pieces of weapons and equipment or necessary hunting supplies. They can earn AoC gold through various options from fulfilling NPC or perhaps other player requests to hunting a careless adventurer for valuables. With some good amount of Age of Conan gold as a starting fund players can pick up a trade skill and combine useless raw materials into something other players want to pay for. They then, sell these products directly to other players in exchange of AoC gold or place them on the tradeposts and wait until they are sold.

Age of Conan players are always in need of gold to purchase better pieces of equipment. Most people who can afford spending their time in game can try and earn gold by themselves while the rest seek to buy AoC gold over the internet.
