Your current location's currency is listed in the top right corner of the screen.

Currency items are weightless tokens of exchange that define the value of all the other items. When trading with NPCs, the price of every item placed in the barter window is expressed in currency units, and any purchase above 50,000 units requires pure currency to execute.

In FOnline 3, no single universal currency exists. Instead, the money accepted in a given location depends on the faction currently in control. Each of the five lore factions mints its own currency, which is the only legal tender in locations under that faction's control.

Most major locations offer a unique type of service that can only be purchased with the ruling faction's currency. Players who seek these services must thus spend that faction's currency, reducing the amount that remains in circulation.

Caps remain in the game as a faction‑independent key currency. They are accepted only in the few remaining neutral locations and are therefore not very valuable for purchasing goods. Their main usefulness is in providing a stable baseline for tracking the relative value of the five faction currencies.

At any given time, the five lore faction currencies are worth 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 caps respectively, with higher values assigned to currencies that players hold in smaller total quantities: the least‑held currency is worth 25 caps, and the most‑held is worth 9 caps, with the others falling in between.

Currencies

FOnline has six main currencies: five for locations controled by one of the five lore factions and one for unaffiliated areas.

Las Vegas (40:32) has its own currency: Golden Dollars. GM Auctions occasionally introduce one more: Brahmin Dung.

Players may occasionally encounter additional currency-like items, such as Pre War Money or Kokoweef Mine Scrip but those are purely collectible items.
