How It Works
What is Zeny Circulation?
Zeny circulation is the total amount of Zeny held by all player characters combined. This figure reflects the real-time sum of every character's zeny balance directly from the database.
Sources vs Sinks
Sources add Zeny to the economy: monster loots, NPC rewards, and quest completions. Sinks remove Zeny: NPC purchases, vending tax, refinement fees, and death penalties. Keeping sinks higher than sources prevents inflation.
Data Accuracy & No Double-Counting
All data is pulled directly from the live server database. Characters belonging to admin or service accounts are excluded. There is no caching delay — every page load reflects the current server state.
Status Determination
Economy status is determined by average Zeny per character. New Server means the economy is still building up. Stable means a healthy balance. Inflating means Zeny per capita is growing faster than expected.
Multiplier Logic
The refinement fee multiplier and vending tax are configurable. They act as economic levers — when inflation trends upward, fees can be increased to pull more Zeny out of the economy.
What is Protected?
Beginner protection means newly created characters are exempt from certain economy penalties (e.g., death zeny loss) until they reach a configurable threshold, ensuring fair progression for new players.
