# Pirate Gold and Marks Pirate Gold (PGLD) and Marks (MARK) are the two currencies used in Pirate Nation. These currencies allow players to level up their Pirates and craft items. Players will only use one at any given time, depending on their Trading Lock status. Players that have Trading Locked: * Receive MARKs from quests * MARKs are locked to your wallet * PGLD can be freely converted into MARKs * MARKs can not be converted into PGLD Players that have Trading Unlocked: * Receive PGLD from quests * PGLD can be sent out of your wallet * PGLD can not be converted into MARKs * At the moment of unlock, all MARKs convert to PGLD automatically --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
