Uses
Each town contains a vendor and gambler that can trade the player items for gold.
Item acquisition
Gold can drop anywhere.
Dropped items have a chance to be converted to gold. This is inversely correlated with the item's rarity; normal items are significantly more likely to drop as gold than higher rarity items.[1] Only up to 50% of a Unique monster's drops can be gold.[2]
