from a single farming route. Episode 3 of Goldlocked Hardcore has
everything.

with a 30 gold target, one life, and no room for mistakes.

🔒 GOLDLOCKED HARDCORE — THE RULES

→ No Auction House flipping — all gold must come from farming
→ Gold toll starts at 10g and increases by 10g per zone unlocked
