Gold nuggets are the rarest of all eleven minerals. They can be found by foraging at uncolonized islands, or on rare occasions, can be plundered from brigands or barbarians (who in turn plundered it from player pirate ships).

Note: Gold nuggets do not appear under the Forageables section of the trading interface but can be found under Minerals.

Historical Note

  • Gold formerly existed as ore, but as of Ice release 2008-08-11, each unit of ore was turned into 10 nuggets. All recipes and trophy requirements were adjusted by 10. This change was made partly to resolve the issue of gold ore being too expensive to sell dockside [1], while allowing gold to be found more often while foraging.
