Enabling total net worth display in chat is popular among traders, collectors, and high-level grinders who want recognition for their progress. The following sections explain how it works, where it shows up, and how to manage privacy.
| Display Mode | Visibility | Channels Used | Update Frequency |

| Net Worth + Combat Level | Public | Global and Party Chat | On every message |

How Total Net Worth Display Works
This feature calculates your grand total of coins, items, and valuables, then sends that number to chat when you speak. It uses real-time price checks and respects your selected display mode.
Combat level is often included to give context about your character power. You can choose between showing just net worth or adding extra stats like bank tabs or total assets.
Configuring Chat Wealth Broadcasting
Adjust your settings through the chat tab in the game client or web client interface. Options include choosing global versus private channels and deciding whether combat level appears alongside your net worth.
Step-by-Step Setup
Open your chat preferences, locate the wealth display section, select your preferred format, and save. Test the setting by speaking in a safe area to verify the output looks correct.
Privacy and Audience Control
You can limit who sees your total net worth by switching to Friends Only mode in party or private chat. Public channels expose your wealth to everyone, so consider your risk of targeted scams or theft when broadcasting openly.
Integration With Other Stats
Some players combine net worth with average prices, recent transactions, or gear score for a fuller economic snapshot. Use formatting options to keep messages concise while still providing useful context to trading partners.
Best Practices for Displaying Wealth
- Use Friends Only mode when discussing high-value trades.
- Avoid broadcasting rare item lists alongside net worth in public.
- Check price updates regularly, since market values affect your displayed total.
- Test your chat format in a safe area before joining busy worlds.
- Combine net worth with combat level only if it helps your trading credibility.
FAQ
Reader questions
Will enabling total net worth in chat expose my bank PIN or private details?
No, only your calculated net worth and optionally combat level or asset counts appear. No passwords, PINs, or sensitive account data are shared.
Can other players see my total net worth if I am in a private chat channel?
Yes, if the channel is set to Friends Only or public party chat, your broadcasted net worth will be visible to those with access to that chat.
Does showing total net worth in chat affect my in-game security?
It can increase risk if you broadcast in open global chat, making you a target for social engineering or theft. Use friends-only mode or private channels for safer sharing.
How often is my net worth updated in chat after I change my inventory?
Your net worth recalculates on every message you send in chat, so changes in inventory or market prices appear as soon as you type next.
