Pirate invasion drop and expanded coin attraction
Plundered from invading buccaneers during Hardmode, the Gold Ring improves currency collection across large battlefields and cavern farms. Common pirate minions have a 0.2% chance to drop the ring, while the Pirate Captain holds a 0.8% rate and the Flying Dutchman yields a 6.67% drop chance. Equipping it expands the player's coin pickup radius from 3 tiles up to 21 tiles in every direction, establishing a large 42-tile collection zone.
Mob farm efficiency and Coin Ring synthesis
This expanded radius pulls coins through solid blocks, retrieving currency from automated traps and lava pits safely. It prevents coins from despawning or burning in lava during Underworld mining and invasion farming. The ring combines with a Lucky Coin at a Tinkerer's Workshop to craft the Coin Ring. Warding adds 4 defense during mob farming sessions, while Menacing increases minion damage in automated arenas to eliminate invaders faster.
Trivia
- Submerging a Gold Ring in Shimmer transmutes it into a Discount Card.
- The pickup radius expansion applies strictly to coins and does not attract hearts, stars, or dropped items.
