GOLD

GOLD (abbreviated as G) is the main currency used in the Underground. It is used to purchase items from Vendors, and can also be used to purchase a stay at some inns.

The player gains gold mainly by winning fights, whether that be through killing the monsters or sparing them - fleeing a fight is not considered winning and does not gain any money. Killing monsters usually awards more gold than sparing them.

Depending on the monsters fought in an encounter, winning an encounter can award anything from nothing to more than a hundred gold.

 * Selling items to the Temmie Shop
