Characters can earn gold in one of three ways:
- Adventures
- Quests
- Employment
To match the intended gold level for the listed experience level, adventures give out roughly 750 gold worth of loot per session per player. This may come in the form of gold, items, etc.
Quests give out small gold rewards, based on the individual quests, but usually somewhere between 50 and 100 gold per completed quest.
Employment is weekly income that characters gain from their “day job”. For details, see Income
