Currency

Currency in DC Universe Online refers to tokens and cash used to obtain various items and equipment when trading with certain Vendors and Kiosks. There are several different forms of in-game currency, some can be obtained from defeating opponents and completing quests, while others can be earned through conversion with real world money. While the majority are available throughout the game, others still are only available and usable during certain Events or can be found and used only through the obtainment of certain downloadable content.

Cash
Cash is the most prevalent form of currency in DC Universe Online. Represented by gold dollar symbol icons, Cash can be earned for completing PvE missions, destroying objects or defeating enemies, players can also sell unwanted items to vendors for cash. Cash is the primary form of currency and is featured in the majority of trades with Vendors and Kiosks; used to purchase equipment, consumables, equipment repairs, and the Trait Reset (or Re-spec) service. It is currently the only Currency able to be traded or mailed between players.

Escrow
Escrow is cash that exceeds a player's current Access Level status. Once the player meets and exceeds their limit, as dictated by their Access Level, all money they earn that exceeds the limit will be placed in an "Escrow Account" until they upgrade their Access Level and thusly increase their currency limit.


 * Free Access, any amount exceeding $1,500 will be placed in Escrow.
 * Premium Access, any amount exceeding $2,000 will be placed in Escrow.
 * Legendary Access, currency amount is unlimited and Escrow is no longer aplicable.
