In Slay the Spire 2, Gold is the lifeblood of your run. With Mega Crit introducing a massively expanded pool of Colorless Cards and powerful new class-specific Relics for the Necrobinder and Regent in Early Access, the Merchant’s shop has never been more tempting.
Whether you are trying to remove basic Strikes from your deck or hoarding cash to buy a game-winning item, running out of Gold in Act 2 can spell disaster.
If you want to stop leaving powerful items behind, XMODhub has put together the ultimate guide on how to farm gold efficiently, understand the new Co-Op economy, and maximize your wealth in the Spire.

1. Quick Answer: Best Ways to Farm Gold
If you are staring at the Act 1 map and need to plan your route for maximum wealth, follow these core principles to optimize your income:
- Hunt Elites: Elite encounters (the horned skull icons) drop significantly more gold (roughly 30-40 Gold) than standard hallway fights, plus a guaranteed Relic.
- Prioritize Normal Combats: Standard enemy encounters always drop cash. Event rooms (?) are RNG and might yield zero gold.
- Draft “Hand of Greed”: Look for this colorless attack card. Delivering a fatal blow to an enemy with this card grants a massive bonus payout.
- Kill Looters Quickly: If you encounter the mask-wearing thieves, kill them before they escape, or they will permanently run away with your stolen gold.
- Avoid Ectoplasm: Never take the Ectoplasm Boss Relic. It grants +1 Energy but permanently stops you from gaining any more Gold for the rest of the run.
2. Neow’s Blessing: Should You Take the Starting Gold?
At the very start of every run, Neow (the giant whale) offers you a choice. Often, one of these options is gaining 100 Gold (or 250 Gold at the cost of a Curse/Max HP).
Is it worth it? Taking the 100 Gold is one of the safest and most consistent starts in Slay the Spire 2. It allows you to confidently path towards an early Merchant in Act 1 to remove a basic Strike or buy a crucial potion for your first Elite fight. We highly recommend this for beginners learning the new classes.

3. The Elite Hunting Strategy
The most consistent way to build wealth in Slay the Spire 2 is to play aggressively.
Standard hallway fights generally drop between 10 to 20 Gold. Elite fights drop roughly 30 to 40 Gold and a Relic. If you plan a map route that hits 2 or 3 Elites per Act, your wallet will swell rapidly.
However, this is high-risk, high-reward. You must ensure your deck has enough burst damage or scaling block to survive these brutal encounters without burning through all your potions or HP.
4. How Gold Works in 4-Player Co-Op
A massive question for the Early Access launch is: Do you share gold in Slay the Spire 2 multiplayer?

To maintain individual deckbuilding strategy, Gold is NOT universally pooled in Co-Op mode. Each player maintains their own wallet based on the enemies they defeat and the paths they vote to take.
When your team visits the Merchant, you cannot simply click a button to transfer 50 Gold to the Defect player so they can buy a relic. You must communicate constantly. If your Silent player is 10 Gold short of a game-winning Catalyst card, the team might need to vote to take a riskier combat path next to ensure everyone’s economy scales properly.

5. Best Gold-Boosting Relics to Watch For
Your economy will skyrocket if you manage to secure specific returning classic Relics early in your run. Keep an eye out for these wealth-generating items:
| Relic Name | Economy Effect |
|---|---|
| Golden Idol | Often found in an Act 1 Event room. It increases all Gold gained from enemies by 25%. |
| Old Coin | A rare Relic that immediately grants a massive flat payout of 300 Gold upon pickup. |
| Maw Bank | Adds 12 Gold to your total every time you climb a floor, but it permanently breaks the moment you spend money at the Merchant. Hold onto it as long as possible! |
| The Courier / Smiling Mask | While these don’t generate Gold, they effectively increase your wealth by applying massive discounts to the Merchant’s shop and card removal services. |
6. Beating the Looters (Getting Stolen Gold Back)
In Act 2, you will likely encounter the infamous Looters (Muggers). These enemies will attack you and steal your Gold on every turn. After a few turns, they will buff their defense and attempt to flee the battle.
How to get your gold back: You must kill the Looter before they successfully escape. If you defeat them, you will recover every single piece of Gold they stole during the fight, plus their standard combat drop. Focus all of your burst damage on them immediately!

7. The Ultimate Shortcut: XMODhub Infinite Gold
Let’s be completely honest: sometimes the RNG in roguelikes is just brutal. You might play perfectly, path aggressively, and still fall 5 Gold short of buying the exact card you need to complete your Necrobinder infinite loop.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the higher Ascension difficulty reduce Gold drops?
A: Yes. As you climb the higher Ascension levels, the game introduces modifiers that make the economy much tighter, including making the Merchant’s prices more expensive and reducing the amount of Gold you start with.
Q: Should I spend Gold to remove cards or buy Relics?
A: For beginner and intermediate players, Card Removal is usually the best investment. Paying the Merchant to remove basic Strikes and Defends from your deck increases your chances of drawing your most powerful, synergistic cards. Only buy a Relic if it perfectly completes your current build.
9. Conclusion
Mastering the economy in Slay the Spire 2 requires strategic map routing, aggressive Elite hunting, and a deep understanding of the new Co-Op mechanics. Always plan your path to hit the Merchant only after you have accumulated a healthy sum of Gold, and don’t be afraid to skip tempting event rooms for guaranteed combat payouts.
