Syntax:  gold

The 'gold' command is a quick-reference command, which will report how much
gold you currently have available on hand.  To see your total gold including
bank account balance, use 'worth'. 

If you are interested in figuring out how to give gold to a mob or another
player, check out 'help give': give <amount> coins <player>.

Gold drops from monsters generally increase as their/your level increases.
However, here are a few suggestions for quickly increasing your gold:

* The academy ('help academy') training includes a voucher which should
  bring a decent selling price if auctioned.

* If you kill a mob that is too low level for you, the amount of gold you 
  get will be reduced.  The optimum level for gold is mobs that are evenly
  matched or slightly weaker than you.  Thief mobs (which cut apart your
  purse) will always return all gold stolen from you, regardless of their
  level compared to yours.

* Roughly once an hour, the mud runs a routine that will add gold to all
  monsters in the game.  This means that you will get more gold per kill in
  less-used areas and by seeking out monsters killed less frequently.

* Campaigns, quests, and goals are a good way to start getting gold during
  the earlier levels.

* If you have been lucky and gotten some trivia points while killing
  monsters, you can convert them to tokens and sell them to other players 
  for a hefty sum. (See 'help tpspend').
