Silver

Silver is an item in Outward, which serves the purpose of currency.

Description
"Universal currency of the land. Note that 100 coins have a combined weight of 1."

Usage
Silver is the only way to purchase Skills from trainers or teachers, and can also be used to purchase items from Merchants and other NPCs.

Many players prefer to hold their wealth with Gold Ingots, which weigh one tenth as much as silver for the same value (0.1 weight for 100 silver worth), allowing you to carry much more weight before becoming over-encumbered.

Trivia

 * At 10 million silver, the displayed value will start using E notation (eg. "1E+07").
 * 2,147,483,647 (2.147 billion) is the actual maximum silver per stack. See also: 2,147B (Wikipedia). This is also the limit for any other item stack.
 * Exceeding the 2.147B limit will cause what is known as an "overflow" in computer programming, meaning you will now have the negative maximum limit, or -2.147B silver.
