Iron Coins are coins awarded by Sanctum. These coins can be turned in to certain NPCs for Superior (Green) armor and weapons. Prior to the 2.0 patch, these coins could only be turned in via quests that awarded players with random items. Players complained about receiving items their characters could not use and NCsoft changed those quest givers to merchants that accepted Iron Coins for their former quest rewards. These coins are used to purchase Rank 9 Elyos items. Armor ranges from 4 to 8 Iron Coins and weapons sell for 12 Iron Coins.
