*The bot randomly picks a reply out of a few already existing ones and sends it in the channel where you've used the command. What the bot sends happens in character and that's how your character earns a small (2-5 buckles) amount of buckles (those buckles get added automatically to your coin balance).*

* **Minimum Stamina:** `10%`
  * **Raw Stamina Cost:** `5`
* **Command Cooldown:** `4h`

There are also other minor sources of income like [Fishing](https://docs.medievaldiscord.com/items/fishing) and [Foraging](https://docs.medievaldiscord.com/items/foraging).

## Paychecks

Depending on the Path or Route, your character may additionally receive a weekly paycheck. Paychecks arrive every Sunday in the **#bank** using the [`money`](https://docs.medievaldiscord.com/money#the-money-command) command. Simply press the `PAYCHECK` button and you will collect your paycheck if possible.

If for example, a Deacon has a weekly paycheck then they have to go to the **#bank** channel and press the `PAYCHECK` button to receive their income.

{% hint style="warning" %}
*Your character will **not** receive any money if they don't collect their paychecks manually. Additionally, once your paycheck is ready (i.e. once a week), you won't be eligible for the next paycheck until you collect your current one. Paychecks do **not** stack.*
