※ Items with purchase limits can only be bought through Rebinia on Lema Island.
We are slowly seeking to expand on the value of Sea Coins. The coins were limited to Great Ocean content, but it will become a more universally accepted form of currency over a broader range of content.
The recent addition of a Sea Coin shop to Lema Island is part of that example. You can now purchase various items including Manos accessories with Sea Coins. Yet, since the Sea Coin value of items may vary with their respective market prices, we've applied purchase limits to lessen the impact it will have on the market economy.
