Revision - gold ingot - Starsand Island Wiki

Gold Ingots are a high-tier treasure-chest crafting material in Windrose, used at the Jewellery Table for the most advanced accessories. Like Silver Ingots, Gold Ingots are sold by the Tortuga Goods Seller (30 Piastre each), but most players accumulate them faster through treasure chests, defeated Blackbeard transports, dungeon bosses, and major buried treasure rewards. Gold Ingots are significantly rarer than Silver Ingots and represent the late-game accessory material.

Strategy

Chest and boss drops are the cheapest way to stockpile Gold Ingots, but the Tortuga Goods Seller does stock them at 30 Piastre each for emergency top-ups
Boss kills are the most reliable Gold Ingot source; clearing each named boss provides 1 to 3 Gold Ingots
Late-game Cursed Swamps Ancient Ruins consistently contain Gold; map their locations on each procedural island
Blackbeard Treasure Maps in their multi-stage chains often end with Gold Ingot rewards

Lore

Gold has historically been the prestige currency of European maritime empires. Windrose keeps Gold Ingots available for purchase at a steep Piastre price, but the bulk of a player's supply still comes from looting the dead, digging the earth, or taking the holds of Blackbeard's transports. Even with the Tortuga trader's steady-but-costly supply, Gold Ingots remain a prestige-coded material in Windrose's alternate-history Caribbean.

Where to Buy

Camp Chest Farming and Furnace Smelting

Gold Ingots also appear in camp chests scattered across the first and second biomes. The spawn is random per chest, so results vary, but clearing a full camp loop on a single island can occasionally yield multi-ingot caches from one container. Second-biome camps trend higher on average than first-biome camps because of their later-game loot table weighting.

Gold Ingot is not smeltable at any Windrose furnace. The material is loot-only: chest drops from camps, named bosses, buried treasure, and vendor purchases at the Tortuga Goods Seller are the complete supply list.
