Energy is necessary to perform any action within the game. Most actions cost 1 energy, but this will re-accumulate over time. On levelling up, energy will be completely replenished, regardless of how much the player had before levelling up.
Combat[]
When in combat, any direct hit from an enemy will cost the player 1 energy. However, in addition to coins and experience, most enemies reward players with at least 1 energy once defeated. When duelling in Ghost Town, which does not cost any energy, any fight won will yield 1 energy.
Adding Energy[]
A player's energy meter will refill over time. If left alone, 1 energy will be added every five minutes, but if a player is actively using energy as it is added, energy will be added three minutes faster for each point. Rather than coins, the Saloon gives out 1 energy as rent every 24 hours (plus the 1 energy it takes to collect it).
Additionally, energy can be collected as part of a reward for completing certain achievements. For example, the Desperado's Demise achievement rewards the player with high amounts of energy for killing x number of bandits, and the Trader Afoot achievement is similarly generous to players who purchase specified numbers of customisation items using coins.
The maximum energy a player may accumulate cannot be increased without spending real money. An additional 1 energy can be added to a player's meter by purchasing the '+1 to Max Energy' pack from the shop, but this costs 29 gold (which translates to between two and three dollars).
Energy can also be bought for gold from the shop.
