Currency Conversion Guide
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:05 pm
House deeds are the preferred currency for big-gold transactions in UOSA. They weigh little, can be bought and sold to the NPC for full value, can't be stolen from the backpack and (if kept in the backpack of a blue player) stay with the ghost instead of dropping with the corpse. This means they're safe to carry around.
Gold, by comparison, can be stolen from your backpack and looted from your corpse. And you can only easily carry 15,000 to 18,000 gold before resorting to carry-on-cursor tricks.
House deeds come in 7 monetary denominations:
Small: 43,800
Large Brick: 144,500
Patio: 152,800
L-Shape: 192400
Tower: 433,200
Keep: 665,200
Castle: 1,022,800
Unfortunately, these oddball numbers make the conversion rate from gold to deeds difficult. So, I put together a pair of currency conversion charts to help you figure out how many and which deeds you need to match how much gold, just under 100,000 possible conversions in all.
Under 2 million gold
Up to 10 million gold

I didn't run much past 10mil. By then you have entirely too much gold and should give me some of it.
