It's worn in the amulet slot, and doesn't provide any stat bonuses, but does allow your character to carry 10,000 gold per slot (up from 5,000 in Diablo) when the amulet is equipped. This makes it possible to save more gold from one game to the next, and to purchase items that take up 6 spaces in the inventory (such as full plate mail) that cost more than 170,000 gold. (This was impossible in ''Diablo'', since the game required you to have enough free space to hold the item you were buying, even if all your gold was going to go away in the transaction.) | ||
