'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' '''Buy Back''' means that a merchant that sells items for this currency will buy back items they sell.  The amount they give you is usually much less than the purchase price.  Also, even if the item is not obtained from them (gotten off a mob corpse or raid chest), they will usually still buy it if it is the same item they sell.

== McKenzie's Special Brew ==
McKenzie's Special Brew is a currency with you can use to buy items from [[Old Man McKenzie]].  Group missions earn you 1 Brew and raid missions 2 Brew.  

The items in the chests can also be turned in to [[Old Man McKenzie]] for 1 McKenzie's Special Brew for group items, 3 Brew for raid items, if you do not wish to keep them.

* [http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=33870 A listing of the gear] [[Old Man McKenzie]] will sell you.  This is also the loot that the chests may contain.

== Loyalty Tokens (Crowns) ==
* [http://help.station.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27012/kw/Loyalist EQ Knowledge Base - Loyalists of EverQuest]
'''Loyalty Tokens (a/k/a Crowns)''' were added to the game on September 8, 2010. They are not tradeable.  

From the September 8, 2010 patch message:
{{cquote|Loyalists of EverQuest is a program for our loyal EverQuest customers. For simply continuing to subscribe to our game you will gain a special currency (crowns) every week that can be spent on items to improve your game play. There is no additional charge for the items you find on this vendor. You will not need to spend station cash, nor buy Legends of Norrath packs to gain these items. Simply continue to play our game. Seek out Alerynril the Loyal in Plane of Knowledge for the current loyalty items.

The amount of crowns you gain each week will increase for every month that you have a continued subscription to EverQuest. This increase in points per week caps out after 12 months. This is the "Velocity" you see on the welcome screen. The specific method of subscription is not important, as long as you continue to stay subscribed each month. Additionally, long term subscribers will gain an initial bonus of crowns, depending upon the duration of their subscription. For each month your subscription lapses, you will lose three months of velocity.

NOTE: Loyalty points are shared across all your characters on all servers. Choose which character gets the rewards carefully!
}}

More info from [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=168205 this thread] by Ngreth, EQ Developer on the SOE forums:

{{cquote|[Crown earning rate is] 10 per week per month subscribed, capped at 12 months.

so if you have been subscribed at least 1 year, you get 120 per week.

We do expect there to be a cap on the amount that can be accumulated as well because we want people to log in and play, not just hold an account for a year.  We figure it is healthier overall for the game if people come in and play.}}

'''Maximum amount cap'''

There are limitations to how many Crowns you can save up at once through the Loyalists system. Once your account's cap is reached, your account will not be able to earn more crowns through the loyalty system until you've spent some.

* Accounts with Gold membership: Velocity caps at 120 and Crowns cap at 5760.
* Accounts with Silver membership: Velocity caps at 60 and Crowns cap at 2880. Please note that for Silver accounts which have downgraded from Gold Membership, Velocity will be reduced to meet the Silver-level cap. Any Crowns which exceed the Silver-level cap will not be lost, although you may not gain more Crowns until you have dropped below the Crown cap for Silver membership.
* Accounts with Free membership: Velocity caps at 30 and Crowns cap at 1440.

Even when an account's Crowns are capped as far as the Loyalists system is concerned, however, you may still be able to gain additional crowns via in-game means. Some polls and special quests or events may offer loyalty points as a reward. There may also be opportunities on the Test server to gain crowns through participation in testing new content.

'''Spending crowns'''

There are two vendors who sell items for Loyalty Tokens:
* Plane of Knowledge - [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=35557 Alerynril the Loyal (Loyalists of Everquest)] 
* Sunrise Hills ([[Player housing]] zones) - [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=37441 Pagus Nonad (New Tanaan Tax Authority)]

'''Buying other alternate currency'''

The vendors sell bags of a number of other alternate currencies.  See the table above for which currencies they sell.

== Nobles ==
Nobles are an alternate currency type added in the game on September 17, 2014.  The purpose of Nobles is to enable large money transactions, where the Platinum piece is not enough.  They're intended primarily as a way for players to transfer larger amounts of money than the system can currently allow otherwise.

They cost 110,245 platinum to buy and sell back to a merchant for 100,000 platinum.  Nobles stack up to 20. They are sold by at least one guard near every starting city's banker, in the Plane of Knowledge, in the Bazaar and Barter sections of the Bazaar zone, and in gypsy and adventurer camps. All NPCs should be Findable (Ctrl-F) and will have the title "Noble Exchange" or "Parcels and Noble Exchange".

See the Daybreak EQ forum thread [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/nobles-a-new-alternate-currency-type.213610/ Nobles: A New Alternate Currency Type] for more information.
