Goblin points may be used for several things, including purchasing unfinished weapons, earning a Wildlands character a teacher for any skill, if the Campaign Committee approves it, or other things. The cost in Goblin Points is equal to 5 times the build point cost of the skill. Some skills cannot be learned this way.
In addition, there will be a limit to the number of Goblin Points a player may use for the purchase of materials or goods at any one event. These limits are designed to prevent players with a lot of Goblin Points from flooding the game with a lot of in-game items or bringing in very powerful items with no in game justification. A player may purchase unfinished goods at a higher rate than raw materials. These items require a craftsman to convert the unfinished item into a useable item. A player may purchase finished goods at a higher Goblin Point cost than unfinished items. Goblin Points may be used to gain Committee approval to change the physical representation of an in-game item that has not been owned by another character player, like certain weapon characteristics. They may be used to earn Committee approval for character backgrounds that might otherwise not be allowed.
Goblin points may NOT be used for the following things in Wildlands:
Players cannot use Goblin Points to purchase extra blankets for their characters. Players can not trade Goblin Points for in-play money or for items with in-play monetary value, such as jewelry. Players may not “buy back” character deaths with Goblin Points; characters interested in this should investigate the possibilities in-play.
Spending Goblin Points Players can also fill out Goblin Point sheets for Goblin Point expenditures that earn them in-game items. A more detailed explanation of the ways in which players may spend Goblin Points can be found in Chapter Nine: Volunteers & Non-Player Characters (NPCs) of the rulebook.
A player may purchase up to 200 Goblin Points of overall items per event. If a character has an appropriate crafting skill, this limit is increased to 300 Goblin Points, though the extra Goblin Points may only be spent within the characters realm of crafting, and in the realm of Finished Goods.
Raw Materials
Players may purchase raw materials for many of the crafting skills. This allows players to make in-game items and reduce the amount of money they must spend to do so. The player receives tags to represent these raw materials, but she must find a skilled craftsman to create the items she desires. Raw materials replace the silver needed to create in game items, but other needed materials, such as True Elements, cannot be gained in this way. One Goblin Point can be traded for 1 silver worth of raw materials. Raw materials obtained this way can only be used at a forge and only to craft items; they cannot take the place of money in any other way (such as earning a character Inspiration at a juncture). A player must select the type of raw material he wishes to obtain when making the purchase, dictating what craft skill will make use of the materials. There is a limit to the amount of materials that may be used in the creation of any one item. For example, 20 silver worth of tinkering materials cannot be used to make potions. In game, the materials are slightly flawed and have slight impurities, making them fine for lesser items, but able to contribute only slightly to the creation of more powerful things. The maximum amount of raw material that can be spent on any one item is given below:|

You may use your Goblin Points to purchase Unfinished Goods. Unfinished Goods are items that are normally crafted at a juncture and will have in-game tags. These goods lack the final spark of magic that allows them to be useful immediately. Imagine the case of a sword. A person could make the basic sword metal item, but unless handled by a properly equipped and skilled smith, the sword would not have a suitably sharp edge, would not be tempered (and so would break easily) and so forth.
Unfinished Goods must be finished in-game prior to their usage. A character with the appropriate production skill must take the good to a juncture, along with a formula appropriate to the item type. This character must spend 1 Production Point to finish the item to its base duration. This will also cost 1 silver piece per good. Finishing an item requires the presence of a formula, but it does not diminish the effectiveness of the formula. In other words, it does not expend a use of the formula. Unfinished Goods themselves have only a one-event expiration, so they must be finished during the event in which they are purchased, or they crumble to worthlessness. Purchasing Unfinished Goods may only be done at event check-in.
In the chart below, there is a spending limit of 100 Goblin Points per category. Not all items are available for purchase as Unfinished Goods.You may use your Goblin Points to purchase Finished Goods. Finished Goods are items that are normally crafted at a juncture and will have in-game tags. Unlike Unfinished Goods, these items have valid tags and are ready to use. They all have standard base durations. In the case of Alchemy, Potions, and Weapons, the base duration is two events.
In the chart below, there is a spending limit of 100 Goblin Points per category. Some items are listed as costing above this 100 point limit. Those items may only be purchased by someone with the appropriate crafting skill. Not all items are available for purchase as Finished Goods.|

Event Coupons may be purchased with Goblin Points to reduce the cost of attending a Wildlands West event. An Event Coupon costs 100 Goblin Points, and yields a $20.00 discount towards event admission. A maximum of one Event Coupon may be used per event, for a maximum discount of $20.00 per person per event. Event Coupons are not transferable to another person.
Rumors
Players may also use Goblin Points to purchase a Rumor that their character has overheard between events. It costs 30 Goblin Points for a Rumor and only one Rumor may be purchased per event. The player will be given a random Rumor to read at check-in and they must read it and return the Rumor to the person doing check-in. This represents simply overhearing the information. If the player’s character has the read/write skill, they may copy the Rumor down before returning the rumor slip. Rumors may be about just about anything, current events, ancient history, locations of treasure, hints about individuals that may be coming to the town, etc. Please note that Rumors are exactly that. No guarantee is offered as to their veracity.
