Wen and Ore: where the money comes from

Bounties, and why a busy server pays double

Demons take bounties from Muzan, Slayers from their Kasugai Crow. Each board holds up to five targets on their own timers. Playing alone, the Wen column comes in three tiers:

• 1,215 Wen

  2,700 base Exp · 2,430 Wen at the full rate

  Tengai, Obari, Datai

• 1,485 Wen

  3,300 base Exp · 2,970 Wen at the full rate

  Giyen, Gyorei, Enru, Nezura

• 1,890 Wen

  4,200 base Exp · 3,780 Wen at the full rate

  Saneri, Akazo, Gyutai

That is only half of what a bounty can pay. Open the same board in a public server and both numbers double: Giyen goes from 4,125 Exp and 1,485 Wen to 8,250 and 2,970. Since the V0.18 update, bounty rewards depend on how many players share the server: 50% alone, 75% with two and the full amount with three or more, and private servers follow it too. So farm bounties in a busy public server, or bring two friends to your private one.

A bounty kill pays twice: the bounty, then the boss’s own 450 Wen, which stays the same in any server. The (1.25x) on the Exp column is an experience boost; the Wen column carries no such mark, and an unboosted board shows the same Wen.

Trainee targets lock with Max level is 125 once you pass that level, so high-level players only see the boss rows. Which boss drops what is on the bosses page.

Coin Pouches and Ginzo

Bosses and chests drop coins, which are loot rather than Wen until you sell them. The Coin Pouch comes from World Events Chests, Ouwigahara Chests, Snow Chests at 7% and the third Sealed Cache at 20%. Since the V0.18 update a World Events Chest drops 2 to 5 of them.

Ginzo, by the shrine in Mistfall Harbor, buys them. He opens at level 45, after a small quest to fetch his jewellery box from Hidden Mist Village.

The pouch went from 750 to 1,000 in the V.12 update. The same 43 pouches fetch 750 in an old server and 1,000 in a fresh one, so a server that has not restarted may still pay the old price; if Ginzo offers 750, move to a new server. Launch-week guides quoting pouch totals used the old 750 price.

Ginzo takes gear too. Gear pays in materials such as Refinement Ore and Silk Thread, and each Mythic item returns one Mythic Refinement Ore, so 87 spare Mythic pieces make 87 ore. The 2x Wen boost reportedly does not apply to anything you sell. What else he buys, and what gear pays, is on the selling page.

Other ways to earn Wen

In hub PvP, losing still pays about a third of a win; queueing and ranks are on the Zenith and ranked page. Runo’s crate quests are on the fishing page, Zeni’s trade on the Ouwigahara page, and the level quests on the leveling page. Most quests and boss bars pay Wen at 45% of their Exp, like the bounties; PvP, the Yeti and Shiro do not.

Liv’s coin flip: all or half again

Liv flips coins under a big tree near Water Trainee Sabito, between Bamboo Grove Sanctuary and Dreamfall Hollow. He has two quests of his own: a lost penny (from level 14) and 500 pennies scattered around the tree (from level 21). The penny’s spot is on the Lucky Penny walkthrough.

The bet is always every Wen you are carrying; there is no way to pick a smaller stake. Heads pays 1.5x, so a win adds half again: one flip took 520,789 Wen to 781,183. Tails takes the lot.

The game shows no odds, so treat it as a coin toss. Half again on a win against everything on a loss is a bad trade over time. If you do flip, spend what you need first, such as a tier upgrade or refining, so less rides on the coin.

Wen per hour by method

Treat these as rough figures: the pouch price and the server bonus have both changed since.

Across methods, the order is: boss bounties plus pouch sales first, PvP when you win, and the dungeon last for Wen, though it pays in materials instead.

Where Ore comes from

• Ice Chest, Rare Chest, World Events Chest5% each
• Sealed Cache T1, T2 and T35% each
• Ouwigahara Chest, Ouwigahara Cache, Ouwigahara Deep Cache5% each
• Common Chest, Lost Chest2.5% each
• Snow Chest2%
• FishingFished up
• Quest: Restock the Infirmary (Shiori, Butterfly Estate)1 Ore
• Quest: Supply the Settlement (Shiro, level 100)1 Ore

The two Ouwigahara Cache lines are probably the free caches the dungeon gives every ten floors. The Yeti Demon, summoned with a Frozen Heart, leaves several chests including a World Events Chest and a Rare Chest, so it is two 5% rolls or more per kill; the cold it lives in is on the map page.

Fishing turns up Ore on the line too: an overnight AFK session brings in anywhere from 27 to 56. Codes sometimes add a few; the current list is on the codes page.

What Ore buys

The Robux figure in brackets is what Roblox Plus members pay. Since V0.18 the VIP 4x Luck boost lasts 45 minutes, even where the tile still says 30. Reset Evil Art went up after launch, from 2 Ore and 25 Robux to 7 Ore and 100 Robux. What each reset clears is on the resets page, and the spin packs are on the spins page.
