Ghor's Tome is an item introduced in the Hidden Realms Update.

When the holder kills an enemy, there is a 4% (+4% per stack) chance for that enemy to drop a gold nugget. Picking up the gold nugget awards the player with gold equal to the value of one Small Chest.

Notes[]

  • The gold from nuggets is awarded to all players.
  • Unlike the on-kill drops from the Bandolier BandolierBgUncommonBandolierBandolier

    Killing an enemy spawns a healing orb that heals for 8 plus an additional 2% (+2% per stack) of maximum health.
    , gold nuggets do not always gravitate towards the player as they approach.
    • Gold nuggets also never despawn, unlike the ammo boxes and healing orbs.
  • The infinitely respawning, destructible rocks in Sky Meadow can drop treasures.
  • The chance to drop a gold nugget is affected by Luck.
  • The effective stacking limit is 25, for a 100% chance to drop gold.
  • If a Monster activates its own Ghor's Tome you will not be able to collect it, and even if the monster collects it, you will not get more money from killing it.

Tips[]

  • This item is significantly less helpful if the SacrificeArtifact of Sacrifice is active, as almost all uses for gold are no longer present.

Shipping Details:

Ancient secrets... transmutation... homunculi... alchemy. Nothing more than nonsense - pursuits of rightly intentioned but grossly misled minds. Or so I thought. This item's... unexpected physical properties are reason enough to stay my immediate dismissal.

Strange fortune led this book to me, and stranger knowledge still fills the pages. Chilling, even. It concludes, in chapter eight, that even iron can become gold - but only through a ritual of intense bloodletting, a thought disturbing enough without considering the bountiful riches that accompanied the estate.

The takeaway, above all else, seems to be that you cannot get something from nothing; even the very paper of the tome turned to ash as I tried to make photocopies. Whatever was on the first two pages is lost forever. I need transcriptions of the rest by hand, and I know you take pride in your precision. 

And more importantly, Kosta, I trust you. Don't do anything that would draw attention to yourself. I will try to find the other volumes. This is knowledge too dangerous to lose.
