Eh...i pay real money for big things, such as a character card, guild shop, or skill reset.. but i just pay normal gold for things like under 10 gcoins... pretty much 1g is 1 penny.. 1gcoin is 10g.. 10 shouts (5gcoins) is 50g.. so yeah. theres not a lot of things that are under 10gcoins though.. all i can think of at the moment is Stage skip card, and Shouts... but yeah.. dont pay real money for shouts -_- you could only if you get a ton.. kinda hard to get a ton of shouts with gold x.x... 100 shouts of athority x.x
