# Gold Room

<figure><img src="https://847572216-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FkkjSckGMD67AfsA2mMhS%2Fuploads%2Fi3NmboH7f6xyiG03E8lC%2F19.png?alt=media&amp;token=5b0ac0c1-fa2a-4a91-a51c-b6454f1715d9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Gold Room** is the perfect spot for players, especially newcomers, to farm **Gold**, which can later be exchanged for **Zeny**.

## Gold Room Guide

Hunt **Golden Birds** and **Guardians** for **Gold Points (GP)**. Trade GP for **Gold**, climb the weekly kill ladder, and spend **Gold Cards** in the Gold Shop.

Talk to **Gold Room Manager** in **Prontera** (`prontera 162, 142`).

### How to enter

1. Talk to **Gold Room Manager**.

3. Type the 7-digit confirmation code the NPC shows you.
4. Use a **free entry** (first 5 per character) or pay **250,000 zeny**.

You warp to `ordeal_3-2`. Use the **Exit** NPC in the center, or the outer portals, to leave.

* Inventory has **60 items or fewer**
* You are **not overweight** (under 50%)
* You have a free pass left, **or** 250,000 zeny

{% hint style="warning" %}
Entering strips **disguise / fake name** and ends **Sacrifice**, **Enchant Deadly Poison**, and **Auto Spell**.
{% endhint %}

***

### Gold Points

Every qualifying kill awards **Gold Points**. They are stored on your **account**.

|               |                                              |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily cap** | 15,000 GP per **account** and per **device** |
| **Reset**     | 00:00 server time                            |
| **Exchange**  | 1 GP = 1 **Gold**                            |
| **Check cap** | `@goldcap`                                   |

The Manager shows today's account total, today's device total, and your lifetime GP bank. Hitting **either** daily cap stops further GP and **warps you out**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Death in Gold Room costs 25% of your stored Gold Points.** VIP accounts do not lose GP on death. Daily progress is not refunded.
{% endhint %}

***

### Gold Pool

Golden Bird GP is **not a flat amount**. Each real Golden Bird kill rolls the **Gold Pool**: a weighted 1–5 GP result.

Your **item drop bonus** against that monster slowly shifts the pool toward higher rolls. Higher drop bonus does not add a flat GP amount — it makes **4** and **5** more likely and **1** less likely.

Check your bonus with:

```
@droprate Golden Bird
```

The pool uses your **total drop bonus** (items, VIP, titles, consumables, and so on). Bonus above **200%** does not improve the Gold Pool any further.

#### Base weights (0% drop bonus)

| GP    | Weight | Chance |
| ----- | ------ | ------ |
| **1** | 90     | 34.6%  |
| **2** | 70     | 26.9%  |
| **3** | 60     | 23.1%  |
| **4** | 30     | 11.5%  |
| **5** | 10     | 3.8%   |

Average at 0% bonus: **about 2.23 GP** per Golden Bird.

#### How drop bonus shifts the pool

As bonus `D` rises toward the **200** cap:

* Weight of **1** falls (never below 10)
* Weights of **2, 3, 4, 5** rise

| Drop bonus     | Chance of 1 | Chance of 2 | Chance of 3 | Chance of 4 | Chance of 5 | Avg GP   | Avg in Hot Time |
| -------------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | -------- | --------------- |
| 0%             | 34.6%       | 26.9%       | 23.1%       | 11.5%       | 3.8%        | 2.23     | 4.46            |
| 50%            | 22.1%       | 25.7%       | 24.2%       | 16.2%       | 11.8%       | 2.70     | 5.40            |
| 100%           | 14.3%       | 25.0%       | 25.0%       | 19.0%       | 16.7%       | 2.99     | 5.98            |
| 150%           | 9.0%        | 24.4%       | 25.5%       | 21.0%       | 20.0%       | 3.19     | 6.37            |
| **200% (cap)** | **5.2%**    | **24.1%**   | **25.9%**   | **22.4%**   | **22.4%**   | **3.33** | **6.66**        |

{% hint style="success" %}
Drop bonus is the main way to farm more GP per bird. Stack class / race / item drop gear, VIP, and titles, then confirm with `@droprate Golden Bird`. Past 200% the Gold Pool stops improving.
{% endhint %}

#### Hot Time

During Hot Time the bird roll is **doubled**, then capped at **10**:

| Pool roll | Hot Time GP |
| --------- | ----------- |
| 1         | 2           |
| 2         | 4           |
| 3         | 6           |
| 4         | 8           |
| 5         | 10          |

**Current schedule:** Saturday and Sunday only.

| Window  | Server time       |
| ------- | ----------------- |
| Morning | 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM |
| Evening | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM |

The map shows a Hot Time effect while it is active. Extra GP still counts toward the **15,000 daily cap**.

#### Guardians are not on the Gold Pool

**Guardians** always grant **5 GP** ( **10 GP** during Hot Time ). They do not roll 1–5.

***

### Monsters

About **550** Golden Birds and **10** Guardians spawn. Another **20** lookalike Golden Birds are **fakes**.

| Monster              | HP        | GP                                    | Notes                                       |
| -------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Golden Bird**      | 81,250    | Gold Pool **1–5** (Hot Time **2–10**) | Main farm. Counts for weekly ladder.        |
| **Fake Golden Bird** | 1,000,000 | **None**                              | Same name and look. No GP from the Manager. |
| **Guardian**         | 3,500,000 | **5** (Hot Time **10**)               | Very strong. Rare **Guardian Card** drop.   |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Not every "Golden Bird" pays GP. Fakes hit much harder and have far more HP. If a bird is not awarding points, you likely hit a fake — move on.
{% endhint %}

***

### Extra drops

These are **in addition to** Gold Points.

| Drop                             | Source                  | Chance                  | Auto Pilot                 |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Aegis Gold Plate I** or **II** | Golden Bird or Guardian | 10% (50/50 which plate) | **No** — manual kills only |
| **Gold Card** (account bound)    | Golden Bird             | 0.01% (1 in 10,000)     | Yes                        |
| **Guardian Card**                | Guardian                | Very rare               | Yes (normal drop)          |

Aegis plates are heavy. **Gold Miner** NPCs around the map buy **Plate I** and **Plate II** at half NPC price, but only if you sell **at least 2 of the same plate** at once. Selling locks you for **5 seconds**.

Gold Cards are **account bound**. Use them at the Gold Shop.

***

### Exchange Points

At **Gold Room Manager** → **Exchange Points**:

* Spend any amount of GP you currently have
* **1 Gold Point = 1 Gold**
* You cannot hold more than **30,000 Gold** in inventory from this exchange

Clear weight before exchanging.

***

### Weekly Top 10

The ladder ranks **Golden Bird kills this week**, not GP.

View it from the Manager. It **resets every Sunday at 00:00** server time. Top 10 characters can **Claim Reward** later for **account-bound Gold Cards**:

| Rank | Gold Cards |
| ---- | ---------- |
| 1    | 15         |
| 2    | 10         |
| 3    | 8          |
| 4–6  | 3          |
| 7–10 | 2          |

Unclaimed ranks stay on the character until you pick them up. You must have weight for the cards.

***

### Auto Pilot

Gold Room has its **own** Auto Pilot bank (`#AC_DURATION_GR`), separate from normal `@ap`.

| Command      | What it does                                            |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@ap gr`     | Spend a Gold Room Autopilot Ticket to bank time         |
| `@ap on`     | Start Auto Pilot (uses the Gold Room bank while inside) |
| `@ap off`    | Stop Auto Pilot                                         |
| `@ap status` | Check remaining time                                    |

Maximum banked Gold Room AP: **12 hours**.

#### Free ticket (1 hour)

**Get Free Autopilot Ticket** from the Manager.

* **Gold Room Autopilot Ticket \[1h]**
* Character bound
* Once per **account** and per **device** every **24 hours**
* You cannot claim if you already hold a free ticket
* You cannot claim if you still have more than **5 minutes** of Gold Room AP banked

Use `@ap gr` **inside Gold Room** to add the time, then `@ap on` to hunt.

#### Shop ticket (3 hours)

**Buy Autopilot Ticket** from the Manager.

|       |                                                            |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Item  | **Gold Room Autopilot Ticket \[3h]**                       |
| Cost  | **3 Daily Quest Points** + **12 Vote Points**              |
| Limit | Once per **account** and per **device** every **24 hours** |

Then `@ap gr` inside Gold Room to bank it.

{% hint style="info" %}
Auto Pilot kills **do** earn Gold Pool GP and can find Gold Cards. They **do not** drop Aegis Gold Plates.
{% endhint %}

***

### Gold Shop

**Gold Shop** on the Manager spends **Gold Cards**. Rewards are **bound**.

| Item                            | Gold Cards | Effect                                                         |
| ------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Dragon Helm Gold**            | 75         | ASPD +10%, all stats +5, +20% damage vs Golden Bird / Guardian |
| **RWC 2008 Dragon Helm Silver** | 50         | ASPD +10%, all stats +3, +15% damage vs Golden Bird / Guardian |
| **RWC 2008 Dragon Helm Copper** | 35         | ASPD +10%, all stats +1, +10% damage vs Golden Bird / Guardian |
| **Guardian Card**               | 25         | Accessory card: +10% damage vs Golden Bird / Guardian          |

Dragon Helms are the Gold Room farming hats. They do **not** increase the Gold Pool by themselves unless they also add drop bonus — they raise **kill speed**.

| Center Basilica                  | Safe zone around the spawn           |

Outer rooms have portals back to the center. The **Exit** NPC at the fountain shows your daily GP and total bank before you leave.

### Related quests

Gold Room kills also feed other systems:

* **Gold Digger** title: 30,000 Golden Birds, 200 fake Golden Birds, 100 Guardians (must be unlocked first)
* **Six Path** step 3: 1,000 Golden Birds and 100 Guardians

***

### Tips

{% hint style="success" %}
**Farm during weekend Hot Time** if you can. The Gold Pool doubles (capped at 10), so the same birds fill the daily cap faster.

**Raise drop bonus to 200%** for the Gold Pool, then add kill speed (Dragon Helm, Guardian Card) to clear birds faster.

**Do not sit on a huge GP bank** unless you are VIP. One death deletes 25% of stored points. Exchange often.

**Stay under 50% weight** so Aegis plates can drop, and keep inventory at 60 or below so you can re-enter.

**Leave party before talking to the Manager.** Homunculus must rest.

**Use the free 1h ticket every day**, then the 3h shop ticket if you have Daily Quest and Vote points.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Restriction:** Daily Points are bound to the Gepard Client, meaning only one client per machine is allowed to access the Gold Room for farming.
