Money[]
The most common currency is Platinum, Gold and Silver. Money conversion:
PvP currency[]
Players gain Favor by participating in warfronts. PvP currency can be spent at vendors in several zones, or in capital cities at PvP faction vendors.
Crafting currency[]
Artisan Mark is a reward for completing workorders - daily quests to craft certain amount of items. The amount and goal of workorders depends on player's crafting skill level. Players can buy additional recipes for artisan marks at recipe vendors in capital cities.

Other currencies are zone based and can be of epic or rare quality. Planar goods vendors are in each zone, they sell equipment, planar focuses and essences.
