Glint in a player's inventory in Alpha-2.

You're hovering over an item we call Glint. [It] comes in a few different rarities. It was formerly known as the monster certificates but we have rebranded them. – Chris Justo

Glint rarities in Alpha-2.

Glint (previously known as Hunting certificates and Monster certificates) is a bound currency that drops from mobs and players, and is offered as a reward for completing certain quests, events, and achievements. Glint is intended to be the primary method for generating gold in the Ashes of Creation economy.

Glint serves a very integral role in the economy within Ashes of Creation. It is a material substance that is acquired through various means, but primarily hunting different antagonists within the world; and it is the physical form of Essence within the beasts of Verra. So when you acquire this it is bound to your character, and that is a very important component of the economic systems here because glint will be used to pay for certain services, such as taxation for buildings that you have, or citizenship dues that are necessary. – Steven Sharif

• Glint is not localized to specific regions. Previously it was stated that glint was specific to an economic region.

• The rarity of glint increases with the mob's level.

• Glint occupies space within the spatial inventory system and must be transported via crates when in large quantities.

• Glint can be sold directly to commodities vendors at hunting lodges within nodes to "make some quick money".

• Glint may be traded with commodities vendors for player commodities. These commodities can then be transported to other nodes (via caravan or merchant ship) where they can be traded for gold. The gold value is based on the demand for the commodity at the destination node (over the last seven days) as well as its distance from the originating node.

• Glint will drop as stolen glint on a character's death, based on applicable death penalties. Glint taken from caravan wreckages is also classed as stolen. Stolen glint is not bound and may be redeemed for less than its original value at black market locations.

• Glint may be used to pay housing taxes and citizen dues.

• Glint can be stored within node warehouses.

• Glint is not intended as crafting materials.

• Glint is a substance that embodies the Essence of the beasts of Verra.
