Currency

Sockscraft 2 features currency as a means to facilitate trade and rewards on the server. They have no strictly assigned value, but some currencies are valued more than others- a gold obol is thought of as less valuable than a stygian obol or a SoxBux. They can be used to purchase goods or as payment for services.

SoxBux
SoxBux are the primary mode of currency between players on Sockscraft 2. They cannot be crafted, and they are awarded through various means such as Jump City towers, Dungeons, Bosses, Fishing Contests, and Bug Catching. They are also said to be at the core of Luminous Obols, but cannot be used to craft them. Players may trade them between each other, at the Supporter's Sanctuary, or at town shops. SoxBux are diamonds with a Power I enchantment, with the description "Exchangeable for Awesome Goods".





Obols
Obols are the secondary mode of currency between players on Sockscraft 2. They are primarily player crafted, though some mobs (such as the Mimic) can drop them upon defeat. They may also be obtained through server mechanics, such as Botany.

There are four craftable tiers of obols; Gold, Emerald, Diamond, and Stygian. There is also one uncraftable tier; the prized Luminous Obol. These are obtainable through mysterious means, though one confirmed method is through the Wishing Willow.

Bells
Bells are trinkets awarded to players for every month they subscribe to SocksBX. Each player is given one Bell per month on the 13th of each month. Bells are used to purchase cosmetic items, such as Titles, Ephemeras, or Cosmetics. They resemble a small golden bell, not unlike one you might see on Socks's hat!





Bug Tokens
Bug Tokens are tokens handed out when feeding ★ or ★★ bugs to Yumma. They are awarded at random, and can be used to purchase goods from the Token Vendor. They resemble a green medallion with a cyan snail on them, and have the description "A slimy coin used as currency. Can be traded with the Bug Token Vendor."

Valor Tokens
Valor Tokens are tokens awarded to players who participate in World Bosses or are present on the server when they are being fought. More Valor Tokens are awarded to players who fight, but all players receive at least one if they are online. They resemble a golden shield with a large ruby inlaid in the center. They have the description "Awarded for being present upon completion of a World Boss Event. Redeemable at various World Boss Arenas."





Trivia
The texture for obols was originally a retextured sunflower, with the petals being copper-colored and the inside reflecting the material it was made out of. Polyhex later contributed the new texture.

Volk in Laundry Town's Tinker's Workshop mentions in Simple Recipes Vol. 1 that obols are both "the main currency that [her] benefactor deals in, and [her] ticket out of this place". While it is not known who her benefactor is, it may indicate that obols will have a greater significance later.
