How to farm Gold Dust and Gold Nuggets in Towers of Aghasba
Gold Dust can be found in many places in Towers of Aghasba, and thankfully, it’s not a rare resource. You can find an excellent spot to farm it on the map below, while you’re still on Amani Island for the early hours of this game. You can find it in two ways - by smashing Boulders/Iron Boulders with a pickaxe, or farming coal.
Coal will require a shovel though, but it does give you a good amount of Gold Dust, as well as Coal itself. You’ll find plenty of nodes to farm Coal throughout that southeastern portion of the map.
Later in the game, once you’re in other regions, you can find Gold Dust from mining other types of rocks, including Ruin Debris and Limestone Boulders. You can also farm it from Glory Mounds, but only if you have an Iron Shovel.
Gold Nuggets, on the other hand, come from the Gold Merchant in Towers of Aghasba. Once Midhaven has hit Tier 1, this merchant will show up. Don’t worry, this will unlock as you progress through the main story quests of this game. You can trade 100 Scraps for a Gold Nugget or 20 Scraps for a Gold Dust. Additionally, you can take five Gold Dust and trade it for a Gold Nugget.
Gold Dust in particular is incredibly useful throughout your adventure. Whether you’re buying masks with it, trading it to villagers, or even using it to help fix structures, you’ll have plenty of reasons to farm it. Thankfully, you can start acquiring it incredibly early.
