Banes World Bucks
Banes World Bucks (BW) are the shard's premium currency, used to purchase luxury and convenience items from the UO Store. BW is earned entirely through gameplay and community support — there is no requirement to spend real money.
Earning BW
There are several ways to earn BW on the shard:
Achievements
The fastest way for new players to start earning BW. Many achievements are simple exploration tasks — visiting locations around the world, most of which are accessible directly through the Moongate Portal under Favorites.
- Use
[myachievementsto see your progress and browse available achievements. - Achievements range from quick travel goals to long-term milestones, so there's always something to work toward.
Daily Quests — Huntmaster's Lodge
The Huntmaster's Lodge offers rotating daily quests that reward BW on completion. This is a reliable, repeatable source of income for active players.
- Access the Lodge through the Moongate Portal under Favorites.
- Check back daily — the quests rotate, so there's always something new.
Donations
Donations help cover the real-world costs of running the shard — hardware maintenance, power, and internet. Every contribution is greatly appreciated and goes directly toward keeping Banes World online.
How to donate:
- Visit the blue Donation Stone on Main Street.
- Complete your donation.
- You will receive an in-game popup to claim your BW immediately.
Donations are entirely optional. Everything in the store can be earned through gameplay alone.
