Shop/Purchasing

First, here are two terminologies that are important, and different from each other.

• DMM Money is the monetary amount you have on your DMM account. This cannot be used to purchase in-game items yet
• DMM Points is the currency to which you buy in-game items. Thus, you will need to convert DMM Money into DMM Points later on
