Tips
- Selling the ore rather than the bar yields 4 more per gold bar.
- It's smart to keep digging for gold even after you have every golden item, since you will still need it for items such as Slime Crowns and 1 Second Timers.
Trivia
- In real life, gold is a very soft and malleable metal that would be very unsuitable for making tools or armor. This is parodied by the Goblin Tinkerer: "YES, gold is stronger than iron. What are they teaching these humans nowadays?"
