# Gold Economics

Gold in Eternal Odyssey is sourced from various activities and encounters throughout the game. Understanding how to effectively gather and manage gold is essential for progressing and upgrading your character. Here are the primary sources of gold in the game:

* **Looting Humanoid Monsters:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Gold can be looted from humanoid enemies such as elves, dwarves, outlaws, undead, and similar creatures.</mark>
* **Completing Quests:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Many quests, such as those in the Desert or the Paradox Tower, reward players with gold upon completion.</mark>
* **Selling Creature Products:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Players can obtain creature products from loot or through the</mark> [<mark style="color:yellow;">Skinning</mark>](/game-mechanics/skinning.md) <mark style="color:yellow;">System and sell these items for gold.</mark>

#### **Non-Humanoid Monsters**

It is important to note that **all non-humanoid monsters in the game do not drop gold**. This is not a bug, but a well-established characteristic of Eternal Odyssey's gameplay. Instead of expecting gold drops from non-humanoid monsters, players should focus on:

* **Skinning Monster Corpses:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Non-humanoid monsters can be skinned to gain creature products.</mark>
* **Selling Creature Products to Grizzly Adams:** <mark style="color:yellow;">The creature products obtained from skinning can be sold to Grizzly Adams for gold.</mark>
* **Selling Creature Products to other players:** <mark style="color:yellow;">The creature products can be sold to other players for upgrading purposes. More info in</mark> [Item Upgrade](/item-upgrade.md)

Understanding this distinction helps players optimize their gold-earning strategies and ensures they are not confused by the lack of gold drops from certain types of monsters.
