Coins of Greed (Also called Greedcoins) have been present for hundreds of years and have always signified the presence and influence of the Avarice Arken. There are many Coins of Greed present in Aloria; at least one is present in every economic sphere that uses coin-based currency and has magic present in society. Greed Coins can be created by Avarice himself or by powerful Avarice demons. Often conspirators that work with the Arken or worship him possess Greed Coins, but so many exist that it’s not unlikely for somebody to just come across one within a treasure horde, either.

Description

Coins of Greed are classified as a Accessory Artifact, meaning they cannot be wielded at the same time with other Accessory Artifacts by the same owner. Coins of Greed appear nearly identical to any coin-type currency in the area it inhabits (such as the Regalian Crown). However, they are often covered with motifs befitting the Avarice Arken, and any faces or people on the coin are replaced with the likeness of the Avarice Arken (who presently appears as a triceratops-esque Allar).

Artifact Mechanics

Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general. For more information on Artifactsparks, read the Resources Page. For Rules on Artifact ownership, see the Artifacts Page.

Collectible Artifact

Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time. Collectibles may be traded away by their owner if they are unable to use the Permanent Mechanic due to the use limitation. To summarize this Artifact's Collectible properties:

The Avarice Trinket Collectible inherits the Permanent Mechanic of Coins of Greed but can only be used by Evolist Worshippers or Avarice Arkenborn. While there are several Avarice Trinkets, each looks unique, though should be inspired by the appearance of Coins of Greed.

-==Appearance==
+==Description==
-Coins of Greed can vary greatly in appearance based on the region they’re found in. Typically, a Greed Coin will appear nearly identical to any coin-type currency in the area it inhabits and will even change its shape if it stays in a new currency system for long enough. However, what makes a Greed Coin distinct is that they are often covered with motifs befitting the Avarice Arken, and any faces or people on the coin are replaced with the likeness of the Avarice Arken. For example, a Greed Coin in Regalia will appear like a one-piece Crown, but the emperor’s profile is replaced with a profile of the Avarice Arken (who presently appears as a triceratops-esque Allar).

 ==Artifact Mechanics==
-Coins of Greed are Void Magic Artifacts. There are rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see the [[Artifact]] Page. Artifacts also provide Mechanics.
+Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general.

-====Permanent Mechanics====
+===Permanent Mechanics===
-* The holder of a Coin of Greed becomes very attuned with the concept of Avarice. Against wealthy DM NPCs, they gain a +2 bonus to persuasion rolls that does not break cap, and can additionally re-roll a failed persuasion roll once, so long as the persuasion roll is done through making a monetary bribe of some kind. Coins of Greed are an Intangible Artifact. If a Coin of Greed does not have a Spark within it for 1 week, the Artifact is destroyed.
+*
-====Artifactspark Mechanics====
+===Sparked Mechanics===
-* Choose 2 Free Packs from the following Categories: Magic Point Buy, Roguery Point Buy, Adapt Point Buy
+*
-* A coin of Greed instills a hungry, ravenous greed within the holder. Those who possess a Coin of Greed have a +2 Attack Stat, +1 Defense Stat (breaks cap up to 11/9) boost when in direct combat against somebody who possesses Divinium, Artifact Sparks, Wealth Tokens, or a Sparked Artifact.
+*
-* Those who hold the Coin of Greed can choose to summon the Avarice Arken, seeing as these coins are often seen as a token of their favor. Summoning the Arken consumes the spark within the artifact.
+===Sparked Combat Mechanics===
-====Legendary Artifactspark Mechanics====
+*
-* Choose 1 Free Pack from the following Category: Magic Point Buy
+*
-* The holder of a coin of greed, if the coin is super charged with magic, can open a temporary rift into Avarice’s Infinite Vault, an expansive but dangerous pocket dimension where Avarice lives and keeps his horde of wealth. From here, they and a small party can enter the vault (which begins a DMed event) in which they may be able to possibly steal an object of high value from the Avarice Arken, though this also risks incurring the Arken’s wrath. After this rift is closed (at the end of the event) the artifact is desparked.
+==Collectible Artifact==
-* The Legendary Artifactspark Jewelry grants the user +2 Attack Stat (breaks cap up to 11) and +2 Defense Stat (breaks cap up to 9), and sets the minimum for their Attack and Defense Dice Rolls to 2. When the user is KO’d, they can choose to instantly teleport them, and the Artifact, safely to their home. This can only be done once (and must be reported to Lore Staff). Subsequent uses of this teleport mechanic must sacrifice the Artifact’s Spark in order to teleport the user and the Artifact. The Artifact is considered de-sparked, and the Artifactspark is granted to whoever KO’d the user.
