Aerlore Coin & the Coin Merchants

How to earn Aerlore Coins (drops, bosses, dungeons, quests, achievements) and what Waforu and Ruoboru sell for them.

Aerlore Coins are a currency you earn by playing. Veterans: it's the old Red Chip, renamed and given new uses. Coins are bound to your character, so they can't be traded or sold to NPCs.

Earning coins

SourceCoins
MonstersSmall chance from every kill: 4% from weak monsters, 6% from normal ones, 15% from captains (1-2 coins). Bosses, mid-bosses and giants drop 3-20. Higher-level monsters give more, and the chance is reduced at low levels (x0.6 for monster levels 1-29, x0.8 for 30-59)
World bosses (Clockworks, Meteonyker, Rangda)30-50 for everyone who did at least 1% of the damage
Dungeon bosses15 to 70 per clear depending on the dungeon. Full amount on your first clear of the day, half after that
Quests150+ quests give coins, roughly 1,200 or more for one character (the mid and late game quests, the milestone quests and the Coral Island chain)
Achievements & daily rewardsHonour Chests (10 each), login days 7, 14, 21 and 28, plus some daily tasks

Coins from monsters are rolled for each party member in range, so partying doesn't cost you coins.

Level gap: you get full coins from monsters at your level, above it, or up to 4 levels below. At 5-7 levels below you get half, and at 8+ below you get none.

Weekly soft cap: after 500 coins from monster drops in a week (per account, resetting Monday 00:00 UTC), the chance of a coin drop falls to 25%. The cap only reduces the chance of a coin drop. It covers normal monsters, bosses, mid-bosses and giants. World bosses (Clockworks, Meteonyker, Rangda), dungeon clears, quests, achievements and daily rewards aren't capped.

Coins are also used for extra dungeon entries after your 2 free ones each day (10 / 20 / 40 / 80).
