This article is for reference purpose

The features described in this article are already implemented in the game. The article should describe how a certain aspect of the game currently works. You may of course edit this article to improve the description of the circumstances. Your opinions or improvement suggestions about the described aspects themself are of course appreciated, too. But please put these on the discussion page of this article to keep facts and fiction separated.

Because TMW is smaller and more personal than many other MMORPGs, the structure of the economy is slightly different. There is a player market for monster drops as well as for items that cannot be obtained in the game.

As an aid for player to player transactions there are two bots in The Manaworld that provide as a chain element between trading partners, these are ManaMarket and AuctionBot. To get money independent from other players it is possible to sell monster drops to NPC shops that are scattered over all Continents. Any shop will buy everything at a fixed price!
Most of the items in the ManaWorld come to a use as you progress or later in the game, which means that only those items that are worth a good amount of Goldpieces and reasonably easy to hunt or obtain should be sold to NPCs.

Profitable to sell to shops

Item	Monster	Selling Price (GP)
Root	Log Head	200
Miner Hat	Red Slime	400
Boots	Red Slime, Quest	500
Dagger	Bat, Fire Goblin, Red Slime	500
Fancy Hat	Red Scorpion, Snake, Quest	800
Miner Gloves	Red Slime	1,000
Leather Shirt	Black Scorpion	1,000
Ruby or Topaz Powder	Quest	500
Coin Bag	Spider, Bandit, Giant Maggot, Pink Flower, Green Slime	500

Some monster drops only occur rarely but are very useful, those usually sell for a good price to other players.

Rarely Dropped Items with Good Sell Value to Players

Item	Monster	Selling Price (GP)
Jeans Shorts	Cave Snake	7,000 - 10,000
Infantry Helmet	Spider	4,000 - 9,000
Leather Gloves	Mountain Snake, Fallen	5000 - 12,000
Warlord Helmet	Fallen	90,000 - 150,000
Warlord Plate	Fallen	150,000 - 250,000
Four-Leaf Clover	Clover Patch	100,000 - 200,000

There are also a lot of Monster drops that are needed to fulfill the requirements of quests in the game. Those items should not be sold to NPC shops, you can save them up for your own game progress or to sell them to a player that needs them. Furthermore there are some items that are vital to survive this game as a mage, it is always a good idea to hunt for these.

Monster Drops that are Profitable to Trade with other Players

Magic Ingredients	Ashes, Hard Spikes, Iron Powders, Roots, Dark Crystal, Snake Egg, Iron Ore, Maggot Slime, Bug Leg, Life Stone

Rare items

There is a tiny economy growing around items that are no longer obtainable in the game. Some players specialized in buying and selling unobtainable items to make a living. For details see Rare Items.

Jack'O drops

These items are dropped from one of the most powerful monster in game, Jack'O. They are not rare drops but are difficult to be obtained due to the difficulty to kill this monster. These items can be bought or sold at around 3,000 GP.
