# Zeny Sinks

Here's where all that farmed Zeny actually goes — stats, gear, and raw refining ore.

## Stat Trainer

Buy stat points directly with Zeny instead of grinding for them.

| Stat type                                     | NPC                             | Cost per point | Cap |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------- | --- |
| Basic (STR/AGI/VIT/INT/DEX/LUK)               | Stat Trainer — prontera 146,169 | 200,000 Zeny   | 255 |
| Trait (POW/STA/WIS/SPL/CON/CRT, 4th job only) | Stat Trainer — prontera 146,169 | 500,000 Zeny   | 110 |

You're only charged for points that actually land — if a stat is capped, or you try to buy trait points before 4th job, no Zeny is taken. Full walkthrough: [Stat Trainer](/wiki/gear-refining-and-items/stat-trainer.md).

## Equipment Mall

Fourteen vending machines on the Prontera field (around prontera 203,175) sell nearly every piece of class gear and card in the game, straight for Zeny.

| Tier                        | Price                                 |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Standard gear               | Same as the vanilla in-game NPC price |
| Slotted / special-case gear | Flat 200,000 Zeny                     |
| Non-MVP cards               | Flat 200,000 Zeny                     |
| MVP cards                   | Flat 1,000,000 Zeny                   |

## Ore Merchant

Buys plain refining ore for Zeny, no farming required.

| NPC          | Location      | Item     | Price       |
| ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| Ore Merchant | prt\_in 55,61 | Oridecon | 30,000 Zeny |
| Ore Merchant | prt\_in 55,61 | Elunium  | 30,000 Zeny |

## Tool Dealer

Sells everyday consumables at standard price so you never have to hunt them down: Red/Orange/Yellow/White/Green Potions, Fly Wing, Butterfly Wing, Magnifier, Concentration/Awakening/Berserk Potion, Yggdrasil Leaf, Yellow Gemstone, Star Crumb, Empty Bottle, and Arrows.

| NPC         | Location         |
| ----------- | ---------------- |
| Tool Dealer | prontera 146,163 |

## Ore Alchemist

Right next to the Ore Merchant, the Ore Alchemist upgrades plain ore into higher-tier refining material through a barter (ore-for-ore, no extra Zeny) — but since the ore itself is bought with Zeny, this is where that Zeny keeps working after the first purchase.

| NPC           | Location      | Trade in                | Get                     |
| ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Ore Alchemist | prt\_in 55,58 | 5x Oridecon or Elunium  | 1x Enriched (same type) |
| Ore Alchemist | prt\_in 55,58 | 10x Oridecon or Elunium | 1x HD (same type)       |
| Ore Alchemist | prt\_in 55,58 | 2x Enriched             | 1x HD (same type)       |

Enriched ore boosts refine success chance; HD ore won't break the item on a failed +7 and above refine. See [Refining Guide](/wiki/gear-refining-and-items/refining-guide.md) for how these fit into the full refine process.
