Gold

“

▶️ Now that's how you make gold. — Alchemist

”

Gold is the currency used to buy items or instantly revive your hero. Gold can be earned from killing heroes, creeps, or buildings.

Reliable & unreliable gold

A player's gold is split into two categories:

• Reliable gold - Any bounty you get from hero kills, Roshan, couriers, Hand of Midas, Track gold and global gold from towers is added to your reliable gold pool.
• Unreliable gold - Everything else (starting gold, periodic gold, creep kills, neutrals, etc).

The only other difference between the two is how each one is spent:

• Dying only takes away gold from your unreliable gold pool.
• Buying items uses up your unreliable gold first before using your reliable gold.
• Buyback uses reliable gold first.

Hovering your mouse over the amount of total gold shown in the HUD shows your reliable and unreliable gold totals.

The purpose of separating gold into these two categories is to encourage ganking and tower pushes, which give reliable gold, rather than passive farming, which grants unreliable gold.

Acquiring gold

Starting gold

Every hero starts with 600 gold and a Town Portal Scroll at the beginning of the game. If the player randoms, they get a Faerie Fire in addition to the Enchanted Mango. None of these free items can be sold.

Periodic gold

Each player's courier passively grants the player gold over time. While their courier is alive, the player gains 1 unreliable gold every 0.7 seconds (starting from 0:00 on the game clock), which results in 85 gold every minute.

The following abilities passively grant gold as well, independent from the courier

• Philosopher's Stone
  
  Gold Per Minute: 75
  

Some heroes also have talents that grant them a second source of periodic gold income. These talents are independent from the courier and always provide gold.

The following heroes have periodic gold talents. The shown value represents the extra gold the hero gets per minute from the talent alone.

Bounty Rune

Main Article: Bounty Rune

Activating a Bounty Rune grants the player and their team unreliable gold depending on the length of the game, starting at 40 gold, and growing by 36 per minute, increasing in 1.6666666666667 second intervals.

Abilities

A few items and abilities are able to directly grant gold to the player in different ways.

Hero kills

Hero kills grant reliable gold to the killer. Bonus gold is awarded for stopping kill streaks. The first hero that is killed in a match gives a bonus 150 reliable gold to the killer; this is called "First Blood".

When a hero dies to enemy creeps or an enemy tower and has not been damaged by any enemy heroes in the last 30 seconds (regardless of distance between heroes), the kill gold is split among all enemy heroes. When a hero dies to enemy creeps or an enemy tower and is assisted by only one enemy, that enemy is credited with the kill. When there are multiple enemies within 1300 range, the gold is split equally amongst all heroes that assisted.

Every time a hero kills an enemy hero, the killer is awarded reliable gold using the following formula:

110 + streak value + (killed hero level × 8)

Streak Length	Streak Value
Zero, one, or two kills in a row	0
Killing Spree (3 kills in a row)	60
Dominating (4 kills in a row)	120
Mega Kill (5 kills in a row)	180
Unstoppable! (6 kills in a row)	240
Wicked Sick (7 kills in a row)	300
Monster Kill!!! (8 kills in a row)	360
Godlike! (9 kills in a row)	420
Beyond Godlike! (10 or more kills in a row!)	480

The following deaths do not stop kill streaks or count as First Blood:

• Deaths where the killing blow is dealt by neutral creeps, including Roshan.
• Deaths where the killing blow is dealt by the dying hero's team.
• Deaths where the killing blow is dealt by an enemy tower or lane creep, if no enemy heroes damaged them in the last 30 seconds.
• Deaths which trigger Reincarnation.

Assists (AoE gold)

Allied heroes within 1300 radius of a killed enemy, including the killer, receive experience and reliable gold if they assisted in the kill. To qualify for an assist, the allied hero either has to be within the given radius of the dying enemy hero, or have damaged or debuffed the enemy hero. Note that the assist counter on the scoreboard only counts assists if the player dealt damage or applied a debuff to the victim, or if they applied a buff to the killer, but gold and experience are awarded independently of the "assist" counter.

The amount of assist gold received depends on the number of assisting heroes, and the relative net worth rank of both the victim and the killers.

Assisting Heroes	Gold Awarded per Hero (NW = Net Worth)
1 Hero	( 126 + 4.5 * VictimLevel + ComebackFactor * ( VictimNetWorth * 0.026 + 70 ) / 1 ) * NetWorthPoorFactor * NetWorthRankingFactor
2 Heroes	( 63 + 3.6 * VictimLevel + ComebackFactor * ( VictimNetWorth * 0.026 + 70 ) / 2 ) * NetWorthPoorFactor * NetWorthRankingFactor
3 Heroes	( 31.5 + 2.7 * VictimLevel + ComebackFactor * ( VictimNetWorth * 0.026 + 70 ) / 3 ) * NetWorthPoorFactor * NetWorthRankingFactor
4 Heroes	( 22.5 + 1.8 * VictimLevel + ComebackFactor * ( VictimNetWorth * 0.026 + 70 ) / 4 ) * NetWorthPoorFactor * NetWorthRankingFactor
5 Heroes	( 18 + 0.9 * VictimLevel + ComebackFactor * ( VictimNetWorth * 0.026 + 70 ) / 5 ) * NetWorthPoorFactor * NetWorthRankingFactor

• ComebackFactor is 1 only if the killing team's net wroth is at least 1000 gold below the net worth of the victim's team, otherwise, the ComebackFactor is 0.
• NetWorthPoorFactor is a multiplier based on the victim's net worth rank within their team. Richer victims give more gold to their killers.
  • For 1/2/3/4/5 from richest to poorest: 1.2/1.05/0.9/0.75/0.6
• NetWorthRankingFactor is a multiplier based on the killers' net worth ranks within their team. Poorer killers get a bigger share of the gold when the amount is split between multiple assisters.
  • For 1/2/3/4/5 from poorest to richest:
    • 1 (1 killer)
    • 1.6 / 0.4 (2 killers)
    • 1.6 / 1 / 0.4 (3 killers)
    • 1.6 / 1.2 / 0.8 / 0.4 (4 killers)
    • 1.6 / 1.3 / 1 / 0.7 / 0.4 (5 killers)

Buildings

Main Article: Buildings

When an enemy tower is destroyed, reliable gold is awarded to each player on your team. The player that got the last hit on the building is credited with destroying it and receives some bonus unreliable gold. If a tower gets denied, both teams get half its team gold bounty. If no player gets the last hit and the tower instead dies to lane creeps, no player gets the extra bonus gold.

Building	Bounty	Total Bounty Awarded	Deny Bounty
Tier 1 Tower	to each player – to killing player	–	to each player
Tier 2 Tower	to each player – to killing player	–	to each player
Tier 3 Tower	to each player – to killing player	–	to each player

Selling

Main Article: Item selling

Items can be sold while their carrier is in the range of any shop for 50% of the price they were bought for. They can only be sold by units controlled by the item's owner, unless the item is completely shareable, which makes it sellable by any member of the owner's team, granting them gold instead.

Spending (or losing) gold

Picking a hero

All players start off with 800 gold. Picking or randoming a hero in any mode costs you 200 gold, leaving you with 600 gold. You lose two gold per second if you have not picked a hero after the selection timer runs out in All Pick.

Items

The main purpose of gold is to purchase items. The player with the most gold is able to buy the most powerful items, and therefore has a very strong hero. The items each player buys depend on their role in the team and many other factors. Items can be sold back to the shop for half the price, unless they are sold within ten seconds of being bought and their active ability has not yet been used (e.g. Bottle or Arcane Boots), in which case they are sold back for the full price.

Item	Cost
Abyssal Blade	6250
Aeon Disk	3000
Aether Lens	2275
Aghanim's Blessing	5800
Aghanim's Scepter	4200
Aghanim's Shard	1400
Arcane Blink	6800
Arcane Boots	1300
Armlet of Mordiggian	2500
Assault Cuirass	5125

More...

• Divine Rapier and Gem of True Sight cannot be sold.
• Certain heroes cannot sell their Aghanim's Scepter.
• Cheese cannot be purchased, but can be sold for 500 gold.
• Refresher Shard cannot be purchased, but can be sold for 500 gold.

Dying

Every time a hero dies, they lose Net Worth/40 unreliable gold. Dying does not take away reliable gold.

Respawn time

Main Article: Respawning

Abandoning the game

After being disconnected from the game for more than 5 minutes, all of your gold is equally divided between the remaining players on your team, including your 1.67 gold/sec passive gold gain. If 1/2/3/4 players have abandoned, the remaining players receive 2.08/2.78/4.17/8.33 gold/sec. The passive bonus gold gain is restored once you reconnect to the game, but any gold that was distributed is not reimbursed.

• Hero kills (the non-net worth portions) are worth 10% more.
• Reduced the direct hero last hit bounty by 100 and redistributed that gold into AoE gold (in ratio of 100/75/40/25/20 for 1/2/3/4/5 heroes).
  • If you are the only person contributing to a kill, you still get the same gold overall.
• AoE bonus gold is now distributed based on the relative net worth amongst the heroes involved in killing the hero by +/- 25%.
  • Example: If 3 heroes kill an enemy hero, and the extra AoE bounty would normally be 200 gold for each player, it is instead 200 + 25% for the poorest hero, 200 for the middle, and 200 - 25% for the richest.
• The amount of AoE bonus gold given is now increased/decreased by up to 20% based on the dying hero's relative rank in net worth amongst all the enemies on that team.
  • Example: If the total AoE gold would normally have been 600, if the hero dying is the lowest in net worth, the bounty is reduced by 20% giving only 480. If the dying hero is the highest, it is increased by 20%, giving 720.
• Instead of Buyback temporarily preventing unreliable gold gain, it now reduces all gold gained (including hero and AoE gold) by 60%.
  • This means that if you buy back when the enemy is pushing and you get a few kills, the amount of gold you get for that, including the net worth difference bonus, is reduced by 60%.

6.70

• Added a 4 minute cooldown to Buyback.

  • Most recent versions (since 6.55) have an extra portion of the gold/XP that is not a pure split like standard XP usually is.
  • For gold "Assist" means the number of heroes in the area besides the killer. "Level" always means the level of the dying target.

    • 4 Assist: 6 * Level (5 heroes involved in kill)
    • 5 Assist: 6 * Level (5 heroes involved in kill but no one got last hit)

6.68

• Added a new gold mechanic to the game.
  • "Reliable Gold" - Any bounty you get from hero kills or from the extra "AoE kill gold" bonus (feature from few patches ago) is added to your reliable gold pool.
  • "Unreliable Gold" - It is everything else (creep kills, neutrals, etc).
  • Dying can only take away gold from your unreliable gold pool and not from your reliable gold. Buying items uses up your unreliable gold first before using your reliable gold.
    • An example: You have 910 total gold (500 unreliable, 410 reliable). If you buy Boots of Speed, you have 410 total gold left (0 unreliable, 410 reliable). However, if you bought Chainmail, you would have 360 reliable gold left.
  • The process is seamless to the user, you do not have to do anything extra to make it work. Your total gold is still displayed in the same place. Your reliable gold is displayed in your scoreboard title.
  • This is a new experimental idea that may be adjusted and tweaked over time depending on feedback and results after it is released. As always, let me know anything you want to see in future versions.
  • Buyback uses reliable gold first. There are some other plans and ideas for Buyback adjustments in the future but I would like to see these changes stabilize first before considering further stuff. There may also be some other changes related to the AoE bounty in the future but I want to take it slow one step at a time and see how this change is reflected in games first.

6.65

• Readjusted the -bonus gold/XP system that is given in an AoE around dying heroes from being static unsplit to a dynamic split variation (numbers adjusted as well).

6.64

• Reworked buyback cost scaling.
  • It uses the following formula: 100 + Level * Level * 1.5 + Time * 15.
  • Roughly the same during the early-midgame, but scales higher as the game progresses.

6.63

• A message is now displayed when a hero buys back.

6.56

• Tweaked Sentinel and Scourge tower bounty sharing mechanism slightly.

6.55

• Changed and standardized the bounty values on all structures.
• Denied towers give 50% team gold rather than 0%.
• Global team tower bounty increases a little per tower level.
• Hero Kills now give a flat gold bounty in an area (+40, not to killer).
• Slight adjustments to gold bounty variance on Sentinel and Scourge creeps.
• Tower gold is split if Sentinel or Scourge gets the last hit.
• Changed First Blood to be given to the Assist players when creeps kill the hero rather than giving it to Sentinel or Scourge and splitting.
• When there is only 1 Assist to a Sentinel or Scourge kill, the kill is instead given to that hero. When there are multiple assists to a Sentinel or Scourge kill, the gold is split amongst those assisters rather than the entire team.

6.54

• First Blood bounty is shared with the team if Sent/Scourge gets the last hit.

6.50

• Adjusted starting gold between all game modes like ap/xl/rd/sd to be the same (all the same as xl) and for randoms to be like ar. Gold is now give at the start and income starts with the first creep wave.
• Income is now distributed in 1 gold intervals instead of in 8 gold intervals (same total gold).

6.42

• Adjusted starting gold in -rd to give you the same amount you would have when the creeps come out in regular pick game (right now it is a little less than normal).

6.39
