SOCK2 is a competition that will take a while to complete, and the way to win this competition is currently unknown. In the meantime, one can spend time earning points, gold, and experience!

Points represent ones "health" in the game; falling to zero points results in having "KO'd" status (and vice versa). Points are earned by correctly answering questions during the game, but they may also be replenished with spells like Cure and items like Healing Herbs. Points can be lost from being attacked by another player or monster or through status ailments like Curse. Points can be spent on Point Benchmarks and occasionally-more-tangible Sock Prizes.

Gold is earned from some questions and from felling monsters. Gold can be used to purchase items and equipment. Being KO'd results in a loss of half the gold currently carried.

Experience is earned from some questions and from felling monsters. It is immediately spent to level-up when possible, and it can also be spent to use certain abilities. Like gold, it is halved when a player is KO'd.
