Multiplayer and pickups

Gold and ore pickups in multiplayer are awarded fully to all members. Note that individual bonus multipliers to gold or ore gain will cause amounts between players to differ.

• Example: when picking up 100 gold, a player with a +20% gold gain will receive 120 gold, whereas a player with no bonus gold gain will receive 100 gold.
• The same principle applies to bonuses to ore gain.

Gold pickup base values

Gold pickup base values

Note that there is only one style of ore pickup, which has a base value of 1 ore.

Stats

The player starts off at level 1. Every time the Witch Hunter levels up, stat boosts are gained.

To get stats at a given level, use the equation «X=scaling*(level-1)+level1stat»

Armor and Resistance

The player will gather armor and resistance while playing through items, character upgrades, class titles, or from temporary effects. Having a strong defense is critical the survival of the player and the completion of a run. If the player is unable to deal with the damage they are taking, the will inevitably fall.

Armor reduces the physical damage taken, resistance reduces the magical.
To calculate how much damage your armor and resistance is protecting you from, see the section below.

When the player’s armor is negative(from NG+, drinks, or both), they will take increased damage from monsters. Unlike having a high positive defense, where new points do less and less for the player, increased negative defensive stats will always increase damage taken by 2% per negative amount.

When the player picks the items they want (skipping the sarcophagus is allowed) they will be given Curse based on what items they took. the more items they pick the more curse they will get give, with Epic items being worth 51 curse, Rare 16 (2 rares are worth 51), Uncommon 4 (2 uncommmon are 11), and Common 1.

A spring can spawn on any floor but there is usually one per Act on average. Using it will fully restore you to your max health and mana as well as fill any empty potion charges you might have.
The only guaranteed spring in the game is directly before on floor 2 of the Battlements.

If you are seeking to get the Potion Gulpers then the Unlimited Springs Fountain fortune can allow you to get all of them with a single fountain, all you have to do is drain a little mana or HP and drink a potion over and over, then refill at the spring.

If you are looking to get the Replenishers achievement then this fortune will not work, as the counter only ticks up when a spring is drained, and since the fortune prevents the spring from draining it will never tick up. It is recommended to start working on this achievement early as the highest tier of this achievement, use 500 wells, will take about 83 runs on average to complete if you make it all the way to the dragon each run, and use every fountain you come across.
