If you are searching for big floating silver coins, you might look here.
Silver Coins are an item used as a universal currency for the trading system. You can use these coins primarily to buy and sell items from traders, and to hire units to fight or farm for you.
All traders and captains hold a silver coin in one hand, but the coin is not dropped if they are killed.
Obtaining coins
Coins can be obtained in a number of ways:
- Crafting: The simplest way to get silver coins is simply to make them yourself. Mine silver ore from the ground, smelt it into ingots, craft the ingots into nuggets and then into silver coins. This method produces only 2.25 coins per silver ore, so you might have to mine for some time to amass the wealth you desire.
- Trading: Of course, you can also earn coins from trading. Selling items to any of the traders or travelling merchants in Middle-earth will earn you coins - however, you may need a certain alignment level to trade with a certain trader. Different traders also buy different items, which can be seen in their inventory screen.
- Looting: Chests in many structures have a chance to contain some number of silver coins.
- Killing: Several humanoid NPCs also have a chance to drop coins as a semi-rare drop along with their usual drops. The amount can vary. The NPC's that drop the most silver coins are Bandits (between 12 and 28), so heading to a biome where bandits are frequent can be a good way to make money -- provided that you see the bandits before they take your stuff!
- Questing: Completing a Mini-Quest will almost always reward you with some coins, in addition to the alignment reward.
If you mange to obtain 1000 Silver Coins in a single trade, you'll earn yourself the Achievement "Filthy Rich".
