The economy
GP & the Shop
Two currencies, kept strictly apart: gp for the game, Minutes for the optional app lock.
Two currencies, one body
Training reps pay Minutes: each exercise has its own drop chance, tuned so harder exercises pay better, and a hit banks real minutes of locked-app time. Minutes open your locked apps if you use the optional app lock, and training is the only way to earn them.
GP is game gold. It comes from monster coin drops, bounties and loot, and it buys potions and loot crates in the general store. It can never be converted into screen time, so the game economy stays a game economy.
Spending
XP potion
Dragon's Bane (crafted)
Loot crate
GPThe general store sells XP potions, the loot crate, and the odd curiosity. If you run the app lock, the store also trades your banked Minutes for open apps, one for one.
Hoarding is allowed. Nothing forces you to spend. Some players bank Minutes for the flex alone. We respect it.
