used for buying and selling items from and to [NPC] shops and other players.

Limitation

The technical limit is for both the client and server up to 2,147,483,647
Zeny, which is typically capped at 1,000,000,000. The cap can be changed
inside {{git|src/common/mmo.h}} by adjusting the macro MAX_ZENY to a desired
value below the technical limit. The source must be recompiled after this
change. If a value is specified which surpasses the technical limit, the
server will not compile.

Penalty

Along with EXP death penalties, a Zeny penalty may be set in
{{git|conf/battle/exp.conf}} which reduced the amount of Zeny the player holds
upon death:

// When a player dies (to another player), how much zeny should we penalize them with?
// NOTE: It is a percentage of their zeny, so 100 = 1%
zeny_penalty: 0

[Mapflag]s can be set on certain maps to disable the zeny penalty in
{{git|conf/mapflag/nopenalty.txt}}

Vending

The amount of Zeny that can be set to an item when vending is soft-limited to
1,000,000,000 and can be overridden by the setting vending_max_value in
{{git|conf/battle/items.conf}} and [Hexing] the client to correct the
client-side warnings.

If the seller obtains more Zeny through vending than MAX_ZENY the surplus
Zeny is discarded. To avoid this, the setting vending_over_max in
{{git|conf/battle/items.conf}} can be set to no , which causes the deal to
fail if it would result in more Zeny than the seller is able to hold.

Scripting

The name Zeny is recognized by the script engine as a [parameter]
constant, which affects the amount of Zeny of the RID#Usage player. It can be both read and written.

[Set] Zeny,Zeny+120;  // gives the player 120z
[Mes] "Your current balance is "+Zeny+"z.";
[Set] Zeny,0;  // takes all Zeny from the player
