A player's misfortune proves that some of us just have the worst luck. Although it fits the bill of a cozy game, players will face more than a little danger as they expand outward in.
And nowhere will they face more danger than in the mines. Hidden away in a secluded mountain cave in a far corner of the map, the mines are, for the first year or so of a playthrough, the only place a player can fight, get hurt, or even "" — even though they'll just wake up mostly unscathed.
But there is a penalty for fainting in the mines, and Reddit user Affectionate_Way_572 recently learned just how harsh that penalty can be when they lost almost the maximum amount of money possible twice in a row after two ill-fated trips to the mine.
The first time this happened, they came close to the cap, losing 14,100 g; the second time, just two in-game days later, they lost a full 15,000 for a whopping total of 29,100 g in less than half a week.
Typically, when you drop to 0 HP in the mines, you lose 10% of your total gold, along with a few randomly selected items. However, that amount caps at 15,000 g; in other words, once you hit 150,000 g in your account, you'll always lose the maximum of 15,000, and never a cent more.
