Gold

Game term

How much Gold you have. Gold is the currency within the Spire.

Gold is the run's currency, shown in the top bar. Every character starts with 99.

It comes from combat, each encounter has a gold range, Elites and bosses pay the full range, some normal fights pay a proportion of it, from treasure chests, events and relics.
Spent at the Merchant on cards, relics, potions and card removal, plus the events that ask for it.
Ascension 3 (Poverty) cuts enemy and chest gold by 25% and Ascension 6 (Inflation) raises the Merchant's removal price.
Gold does not carry between runs, and in multiplayer each player keeps their own pouch.
