Notes
- One of the few items with an icon that changes depending on stack size
- If you are wondering why your Weight is higher than you expect, even after selling your loot, you might want to check how much gold you are carrying around.
- As an individual item, gold is one of the lightest items in the game that isn't actually weightless. You need to be carrying ten pieces before any weight is even reported.
- Gold can be used from the Traveller's Chest when trading. Thus, it is not necessary to carry gold in your inventory for trading purposes. This does not work for the gold cost associated with learning Wizard spells from scrolls.
