What the Terms Say
The honesty point first: no VALOFE terms clause naming third-party Gold sales was verified in the record checked, so none is quoted here. The operative rules are the game’s own trading rules, documented for the earlier service and not re-verified for the relaunch: weapons, armor, seal stones, currency (gold, silver, copper), sealed familiars, potions, materials and recipes trade between players, and Ellun — the shop-related currency — trades only when purchased from the NX Plus tab or otherwise marked tradable. Whether those exact rules carry into the VALOFE service is unverified, and any seller claiming otherwise is claiming what our check could not confirm.
That uncertainty is the guide’s throughline: a relaunched game inherits its predecessor’s market listings faster than its predecessor’s rules. Buy nothing on the assumption that an old-service listing, price or delivery method automatically applies to a VALOFE character.
The Official Routes
The official route is the game itself: VALOFE’s global official service, live since October 22, 2026 across Japan, North America, Europe and a late-added South American server, with character pre-creation from October 16. Inside it, gold moves the ordinary MMO way — player trading and the Auction House, whose managers sit in Hakanas Crossing, Kellwoods in Hakanas Highlands and Fort Baellas in the Sea of Hakanas, with sellers setting their own price and paying a listing fee. What play earns toward the same progress is in our Gold farming guide.
The outside route is the legacy-name market, and it must be described as what it is: listings under the name Riders of Icarus, naming old EU and US servers such as Velzeroth and Baellas from the previous service. Search results show category pages for Riders of Icarus accounts and power-leveling and pages describing Icarus Online gold, but no live G2G or PlayerAuctions listing page for this game’s gold or items was found in search, and no live listing was read at our check. Until a seller names a VALOFE global-service server in its offer, treat relaunch coverage as unconfirmed — the game page carries the same warning, and this guide repeats it because it is the decision that matters.
What Can Go Wrong
- Wrong service, lost gold. A listing built for the previous service’s servers cannot credit a VALOFE character it does not name. The server in the offer is the whole check: no VALOFE server named, no purchase.
- Legacy prices are not relaunch prices. Any price quoted from an old-service listing describes an economy that ended when the previous service did. The relaunch economy — its gold supply, its Ellun rules, its Auction fees — is unverified in our check, so no price comparison against it is meaningful yet.
- Accounts and boosting are login handovers. Where account or power-leveling pages exist under the legacy name, their delivery is access to your account by construction. The relaunch adds a second risk: an account built on the wrong service is not your VALOFE character at all.
- Thin evidence everywhere. Search-result category pages are not read listings. Nothing in this guide rests on a listing page our check opened and read for the relaunch, and any seller’s claim to the contrary should be met with the same standard: show the server.
Red Flags to Avoid
- A listing that says “Icarus Online” but names only old-service servers, or no server at all.
- Gold prices quoted without a server, a delivery method and a stock figure — all three are checkable, and their absence is the tell.
- Any “VALOFE official” seller claim: VALOFE publishes no authorized reseller list that our check found, so official-ness cannot be verified from a badge.
- Deals moved into chat and paid outside the marketplace or shop order system.
Buying Checklist
- Confirm the server twice: your VALOFE global-service server and the server named in the offer — they must match, in writing, on the listing.
- Confirm the delivery method (in-game trade, Auction House, or account access) and refuse any method that needs your password where the listing does not say so plainly.
- Read a live listing before paying: price, stock and delivery for the relaunch service, not a legacy-name page.
- Start small on an unverified shelf, confirm the credit in game, and keep the order record.
The Safe Alternatives
The safest route is the game’s own economy: gold earned by dungeons, gathering and fishing, and gear and familiars traded through the Auction House — our Gold farming guide walks the documented methods, with the relaunch caveat stated on each. Buying makes sense only once a listing names your VALOFE server and can be read live. See the Icarus Online page for the reviewed market shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Icarus Online the same game as Riders of Icarus?
Yes, in lineage: Riders of Icarus was the game’s former global service name, and VALOFE relaunched it as Icarus Online with a global official service on October 22, 2026, covering Japan, North America, Europe and a late-added South American server. Vendor listings still use the Riders of Icarus name, which is why this guide warns about server coverage. Do not confuse it with Icarus M, VALOFE’s separate mobile game.
Do vendor listings cover the new VALOFE servers?
That could not be verified at our check. The listings found name old EU and US servers from the previous service, and no live G2G or PlayerAuctions listing page for this game’s gold or items was found in search. Until a seller names a VALOFE global-service server in its offer, treat relaunch coverage as unconfirmed and confirm the server before you pay.
Can you trade Gold in Icarus Online?
In game, yes, as documented for the earlier service: gold, silver and copper trade between players, alongside weapons, armor, seal stones, sealed familiars, potions, materials and recipes, through player trading and the Auction House (managers in Hakanas Crossing, Kellwoods and Fort Baellas). Whether those exact rules carry into the VALOFE service is unverified. Ellun trades only when purchased from the NX Plus tab or otherwise marked tradable, under the old rule.
What should you check before paying for Icarus Online Gold?
The server, twice: your VALOFE global-service server and the server named in the offer must match, in writing, on the listing. Then the delivery method and a live listing for the relaunch service — price, stock and delivery read live, not a legacy-name page. No price is quoted in this guide because none was verified for the relaunch.
