Basically the biggest issue with the economy in the game at this time is the lack of coin "sinks", these are ingame events or devices that remove coins from the game. At this time the only coin "sinks" are Leveling your skills, repair costs and mold/mat fees at the mysterious merchant. Coins come into the game from several directions Quests, Oracles, Grinding.

At this time the ingoing coins well and truely outstrip the outgoing coins this causes issues with a steady increase in coins appearing on the server leading to inflation of all items costs. There are several options to address this the main one is to increase the number and type of coin sinks this will give an option to reduce the amount of coins on the servers and stabilise the economy.

Options to add coins sinks to the game

1. Events like Jones Event or the Aniversary one use ingame coins only (this prevents gold skyrocketing and also pulls alot of coins out of the game during these events). This would work with the prices being around 60-80k for the jones event (no dolls option) and the PW boutique agent selling the aniversary packs at 300-400k (with no cash shop option for this either) the lack of a cash shop option for these will cause ingame coins to flood out of the system during these events lowering the cost of all items afterwards.

2. Demon/Sage skills after level 89, the pages which are available for this event could be purchasable through an npc at 200k per page which with 50 pages needed for a skill would cost 10 million coins thus pulling a large amount of coins out of the system easily.

3. The other choice is adding certain types of consumables which are normally cash shop only to NPC's within the game such as Silver HP/MP charms this however might reduce the sale of gold for the company so would be a last resort as the other 2 dont actually effect gold sales and actually may encourage more sales due to cash shoppers wanting coins for the skills/events.
