Gold is primarily used to acquire new items as they are unlocked through Blood Progression and to upgrade them.

Emeralds are more valuable and harder to obtain, but they offer broader functionality. For example, players can use emeralds to revive themselves in a region after defeat without watching ads, speed up the crafting of potions, shurikens, or other items with wait times, and purchase additional harpoons or missing resources.

## **Ways to Earn Gold and Emeralds**

There are two main ways to obtain these currencies:

1. **In-Game Bonuses**:
   * Earned as rewards from looting defeated opponents, finding stashes in [region](/game-info/game-systems/region.md), completing tasks, or earning achievements.
   * Awarded as prizes in [Altar Races](/game-info/game-systems/bazaar/game-events/event-altars-race.md) and [Leagues](/game-info/game-systems/bazaar/game-events/event-leagues.md).
2. [**Geisha’s**](/game-info/game-systems/bazaar/charatacters-and-locations/geisha.md) **Store**:
   * Purchase emeralds with real-world (fiat) currency.
   * Exchange emeralds for gold.
