Think of it as a potent advantage, similar to other temporary boosts, giving you a significant edge in combat and resource gathering. While the effect is temporary, its benefits are undeniable, making it a worthwhile pursuit.

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods. First, you can find and submerge yourself in gold-infused water scattered throughout the map. A quick dip is all it takes to activate this powerful buff.

Alternatively, if swimming isn't your style, you can mine Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars. These veins are plentiful in locations like Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary gold source. However, be warned: Kane and his crew are heavily guarding their precious supply.
