Economy System

Learn how CrestGems work, how to earn them, and how the player-driven economy functions.

Quick Summary: CrestMC features a player-driven economy using 💎 CrestGems for trading and 💸 Money for banking. Earn gems by leveling up, participating in events, or selling items at the /shop.

What are CrestGems?

CrestGems (💎) are the primary currency of CrestMC. Used for special trades, items in our Gem Shop, and leveling up your experience. Unlike money, gems are physical-like entities tied to your progress.

How to Earn Gems

  • Leveling Up — You automatically earn gems while leveling up! Kill mobs or other players to gain XP. When you hit a new level, gems are deposited to your account. This is the main way to grow your wealth in our Economy.
  • Events & Tournaments — Participate in server Events and PvP tournaments to win large gem prizes.
  • Voting — Vote for the server on listing sites! Every vote gives you a chance to win gems.
  • Server Store — If you need them fast, you can always buy gems from our Official Store.
  • Admin Shop — Sell resources like wood and stone at /shop for basic income.

QuickShops

QuickShops are player-owned chest shops. They use gems for trading items between players. To create one, simply right-click a chest while holding an item and follow the prompts. These form the backbone of our player-driven Economy.

Gems vs Money

Remember: Gems are for gameplay and trading. For banking and interest, check out CrestBank which handles your currency balance and banking needs. You can trade between the two systems at the /bank.
