	A PC has the option to trade in junk for gold. However, their net gain will likely be much higher if they opt to have the junk [[Junk Processing\|processed]] into crafting ingredients, in exchange for a small fee. If the PC is not a crafter, they can sell the ingredients to crafter PCs (through [[#Persistent_Merchants\|Persistent Merchants]] or in person). Similarly, a PC can convert tokens obtained from the Recycling System to crafting ingredients, or another PC.		A PC has the option to trade in junk for gold.

	Since most crafting ingredients are free and never run out, this means that gold is constantly entering the game, just as in single-player NWN. If Avlis were the same as single-player NWN in terms of how money could be spent, then many Avlis player characters (PCs) would soon become multimillionaires, with nothing to spend their money on. This is because all they would really need to buy are potions and ammunition, since your weapons, armor and other worn items never rust or wear from use.
