Q:

Some consumables give the vague bonus of “40% increased gold from monsters,” I’m not sure if that means 40% more gold when it drops, or gold drops 40% more of the time, or both. Does anyone know?

Like … if Mob drops 1s, it would drop 1s 40c

Unfortunately, it’s very rare for monsters to actually drop gold. Most drop copper or silver instead, and clearly the +40% doesn’t apply to that.

(But seriously, referring to all money as ‘gold’, when gold is also a specific monetary unit, is a little weird.)
