Part 1) Finding Xenogears-Economy Page:
First, lets find the Xenogears-Economy feature. Go to the top left and click "more" then fourth down you should see "Xenogears-Economy" click that.
Part 2) Gold, what is it used for? and how can I get some?:
Gold is a form of currency found on Xenogears-Fansite. With this currency you can buy shop items, collect rare items, invest, trade, and sell with your fellow members. Items can be used in a variety of ways. (more on this in a bit)
Gold can mainly by just posting on the forum... However, the real money is in topic creation, if you create a topic that is popular you obtain Gold for each and every reply by a made, even if it's made by another member. But everything you post and review get you more Gold. So be active.
Part 3) Learning the Tabs:
My Portfolio: An overview of everything you own, here you can view and use all of your items and look at various investments.
Glance view just gives you a quick look at your total worth in Xenogears-Economy.
My Shop Items: Here you can use, sell, trade items to other members (warning: there is a fee involved with every transaction you make with another member)
To use/sell/trade an item, click on 'MY PORTFOLIO' then click on the right click 'My Shop Items'. Here you will see a list of your current items:
From here just click on the item you wish to use/trade/sell and you will be presented with a list of options. Pick one! 'My Banking' and 'My Stocks' work in identical fashion...
Global Economy: This tab needs very little explanation, here you can view the entire value of the forums economy, as well as view members items, and recent activity.
Part 4) Investments:
Bank Accounts, banks are where you can put away gold for a later but noticeable gain. The deposit fee (Hammer's Bank) is 1% and the withdraw fee is 3% making. Meaning if you deposit 100g, only a single gold will be charged, however if you withdraw that fee will be three gold...
The interest on 'Hammer's Savings Account' is over 2% each 30 days... Meaning in order for you to make money you would have to keep an open account for at-least 90 days. Else you lose money.
Stocks: Currently there is a User Group Based Stock works by Members being active on the forum, except instead of a single member being the main driving force being the stock's share value, an entire user group and it's activity with regards. In this case the group is Members a pretty safe investment unless they join a faction.
To find out how much time you have for the next adjustment period click on "Global Portfolio" then click on the "Settings" tab on the right hand side and then scroll down. Faction stocks work the same way. The forum calculates how active a group was, then increases or decreases the rate.
Part 5) ITEMS:
Items do a variety of things... I won't go into detail on every single item but I can tell you how to find an item description. First click on the 'shop' tab, then pick a store you wish to shop at. From there you will see a list of items, hover over the item, you will notice to the right of that item there is an arrow click that:
This will describe the item in detail to you, as well as give you an option to buy said item. This works for investments as well, giving the user a detailed description on what the investment can do for the user.
***
Well I hope this information cleared things up a bit, I will update it as I add more features. I look forward to adding a huge batch of items as well as other things to the ever growing Xenogears-Economy.
