Zeny
Zeny is the currency in Ragnarok Online. When things are denoted in "Z," that usually means Zeny, as in "Selling Item X, 100,000 Z!"
Zeny Limitations
A single character is limited to holding (2^31 - 1) = 2,147,483,647 zeny at a given time. While engaged in a trade with another player, if either player attempts to add enough zeny to put the other player over this cap, the trade will automatically cancel. Additionally, a single trade is limited to 999,999,999 zeny at once.
If an item sold through the Vending skill would put the seller over the 2.1b zeny cap, the transaction does not process, and the item is not purchasable. Previously, the player buying the item lost their own zeny, gained the item, and the player vending received no zeny at all.
Most players will limit themselves to either 2.0b or 2.1b on a single character at any given time to ensure ease of transactions.
1 Billion Zeny Token
Zeny Officer in Lighthalzen can give the player 1 Billion Zeny Token in exchange for their Zeny, or redeem the token for Zeny. The Token can be used as a payment item during a single transaction between players that involves an extraordinary amount of Zeny, instead of doing multiple trades just to pay the Zeny. This makes high value transaction with another player more convenient.
- Limitations:
- Minimum level to access the NPC is 150.
- Players will not be able to exchange Tokens for Zeny if their current Zeny possession exceeds 1,000,000,000.
- Exchange limit on the server is capped at 300 per week and resets during weekly maintenance.
- 1 Billion Zeny Token can only be traded to another player and placed in Kafra Storage.

Making Zeny
- Main article: Making Zeny
As Zeny is the main currency in the game, how rich a player is or how much gear and items they can afford is reliant on how much capital they have in terms of Zeny. Zeny mostly originates from selling items to NPCs, but selling to older players who already have large amounts of Zeny is usually the main method to attain decent wealth. The basics start with selling items to NPCs and Vending. Some items that have a high value can be hunted or obtained through Quests.
