  • Episode 4: 1 / 1 / 2 / 4

Christmas Event Shop[edit | edit source]

In the Christmas Event Shop, you'll find 2 returning NPCs near the bank that you can trade your Coal to. Why do they want Coal? Who knows, maybe you should ask them.

The Scavenger[edit | edit source]

The Scavenger seems incredibly interested in Coal, believeing that it has special properties and those who cast it aside as merely useless are simply imbeciles. For this, he'll give out common weapons with specials in exchange for Coal.

All weapons cost 1 Coal.
