Currency

Currency is a recurring feature in the Final Fantasy series. Aside from the popular Gil, which has seen an appearance in every Final Fantasy game and is the currency most often used, there are also several other alternative forms of currency which can appear in specific areas or regions in Final Fantasy games, used either for a specific purpose, or as that region's currency.

GP
in Final Fantasy VII, GP is used as a form of currency in the Gold Saucer. GP is most often won through games in the Wonder Square, or races in the Chocobo Square. It can also be bought from a man who sometimes appears at the entrance to the Gold Saucer, at an exchange rate of 100 Gil to 1 GP. GP can be used to play certain games, rest at the Inn in the Ghost Square, fight battles at the Battle Square, and can also be exchanged for prizes with a woman in the Wonder Square. Item exchange rates are as follows:

* Only one available.

BP
BP is obtained through winning fights in the Battle Square in Final Fantasy VII. Fights cost 10 GP to participate, and players are awarded BP based on the amount and difficulty of handicaps received, and the number and difficulty of opponents defeated. The items that can be exchanged for BP are shown below:

Conquest Points
Conquest Points are earned through defeating opponents in areas subject to Conquest while under the Signet status. The formula for calculating CP earned is as follows: $$(EXP/10) * Regional Modifier $$ Regional Modifier is 1 if the area is under your nation's control, or 1.5 if under another nation's or Beastmen control. Conquest Points can be exchanged for a variety of rewards, depending on what Nation you serve and your Rank within them.

Imperial Currency
Imperial Currency is a form of currency used in Aht Urhgan in order to buy certain goods and services. While most areas take gil as readily as imperial currency, imperial currency is required for certain things, such as passing into the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins or creating Blue Mage armor. Imperial Standing can be traded for Imperial Currency, at a rate of 20 for a Bronze Piece, 100 for a Silver Piece, 200 for a Mythril Piece, and 1,000 for a Gold Piece.

Imperial Standing
Imperial Standing is earned by defeating enemies in Final Fantasy XI Treasures of Aht Urhgan areas. The rate of earned experience is $$(EXP/10)$$ with certain conditions, such as the Astral Candescence present in Al Zahbi, boosting the rate of Imperial Standing earned. Imperial Standing can be exchanged for things such as maps of Near Eastern areas and equipment of Aht Urhgan.

Cruor
Cruor is the currency used in Abyssean areas, as a substitute for gil. Cruor is more than an ornamental currency, as it is used to power objects like the Veridical Conflux. It is earned by defeating monsters in the region, and also as a reward from some chests and some quests.
