1-gold and 2-gold monsters

[MauGibrin]

Hello everyone,

 

I have searched the forums for an answer, but couldn't find it anywhere. Sometimes I defeat a monster and I get 1 gold, sometimes I defeat a monster and get 2 gold. Are these quantities random? Or are there 1-gold and 2-gold monsters?

 

Also, on the quest mode, different banes give different XP amounts when defeated. Is there a general rule for these differences or each amount was individually defined by the devs?

 

Thank you very much!

I think all values are defined by the devs, with each bane in a group of difficulty.

I bet it's determined by the bane's tier (basic, AD1, AD2, etc.).

I haven't noticed a single determining factor. Others say it is based off tier, but that is not true. If you encounter a horde barrier then skeletons or zombies will give 1-3 gold for different characters, and those values change each game. I'm sure there is some algorithm to calculate it, but we don't know what variables it is using.

I'm willing to bet that there's some probability involved where [NumberOfGold] is 1 or 2, but likelier to be 2 if a higher tier, or the bane possess Elite or Veteran traits.  If I come across a better answer, I'll be sure to let you know. [ok, i'm pretty sure that this is the best answer you'll get.]

I remember some old rpg games where you roll a dice for gold in the monster pocket... so everything is possible in effect

There is a small but tight randomization in our gold rewards for defeating banes.
