Bowler Hat

Uncommon
Gain 25% additional Gold.

Every amount of Gold you gain is multiplied by 1.25 before it is added, so a 40-Gold fight pays 50. It applies to any Gold you gain, not just combat rewards. The merchant never sells it, and it stops being offered from the act 3 treasure chest onward (floor 41 solo, 38 in multiplayer).

When to take Bowler Hat

Take it in act 1, when two acts of Gold still lie ahead. Its 25% bonus over a run is roughly one extra relic or two removals, weak if you do not shop.
