Seal of Gold

Seal of Gold

Ancient
At the start of your turn, spend 5 Gold to gain .

At the start of every one of your turns, if you have at least 5 Gold, it spends 5 Gold and gives you 1 Energy. It skips the turn if you are under 5. The drain is per turn, not per fight, so a 10-turn boss costs 50 Gold and a run of long fights can cost several hundred. Ancient, offered by Ancients.

When to take Seal of Gold

Take it when you are rich or plan to be, since the Energy matters more than shopping you might skip. Best paired with income relics or a big Gold windfall.
