What Are Tech Points?
Tech Points exist as three special items: Tech Shards, Tech Ingots, and Tech Blocks. They use gold nuggets, gold ingots, and gold blocks as their appearance materials, but carry server-specific markers. Ordinary gold items cannot be used as Tech currency.
Values and Compression
- 1 Tech Shard = 1 Tech Point.
- 1 Tech Ingot = 9 Tech Points.
- 1 Tech Block = 81 Tech Points.
