The currency that you can buy from merchants with, are souls. You obtain them in the very same way as described in chapter 3, which concerns leveling up. The most important thing is that each one of the merchants has a limited amount of certain wares (with the exception of e.g. the Basic arrows, you can buy as many of these as you want). After they are depleted, they will not be restored in that merchant's stock.
