Gold is one of the rarer materials in Dark and Darker. Just like in the real world, it shapes the economy, so obtaining Gold Ingot can benefit you in more ways than just crafting.
This Gold Farming Method BREAKS THE ECONOMY in Dark and Darker!
Of course, most Dark and Darker players looking for gold will go out into the world and try to find notes to extract it. Well, the reality is that Gold Ore nodes are quite hard to find. In fact, most players use specific encounters where there are guaranteed Gold node spawns to farm this material.
To get Gold Ingot in Dark and Darker, you need three Gold Ore. You can interact with the Armorer and Weaponsmith merchants to exchange your three Gold Ores for one Gold Ingot.
Gold Ingot is a requirement in many high-tier crafting recipes, especially any armor and jewelry you want. You can also craft powerful gear with a dash of gold, leveling up your Dark and Darker character. Given its heavy use in the crafting scene, Gold Ingot also doubles as currency for players. Even if you don’t need it when it comes to crafting, you can still get Gold Ingot as a storehouse of value.
