Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Game Master Aight. How do you create/manage gold?

I'm currently sitting in game master mode, trying to figure out how to create and manage stacks of gold for a player to pick up. I've searched on the items panel, but the only thing I can find is a massive pile of gold coins that acts as a container for gold.

And when I do generate a container that has gold in it, I can't actually modify the number when I right click and select "Manage."

I did find a pretty bizarre workaround. I generate a ton of piles of gold, loot them and add the gold stacks to my inventory, delete the piles of gold, and then I can split the stack from my GM inventory...

Surely this isn't how I'm supposed to be managing and placing gold, right?

It is under the reward panel. Check the name of the player you wish to send the reward to and then select how much gold you want to give them. Probably not super helpful if your goal is to make stacks of gold in a room though.

My workaround for this is close to what you described. At the beginning of a campaign, I create piles of gold, loot it and delete the piles of gold. Then I duplicate the gold several times in my GM inventory et voilà - got more than enough gold in my inventory of which I can create small stacks by splitting it into stacks of a chosen value.

This is pretty much how I do it as well. I want my players to be able to loot containers and corpses of vanquished foes, instead of magically teleporting gold into their purses.

While this workaround works, I'm baffled that there is no actual gold coin item in the tool, however.

An idea: You can reward a player with 1Million gold just to steal it right afterwards by dragging it back in your inventory, cant you ?

Not entirely sure about that working as i dont have access to the game right now.

Well, since we know you can reward them with gold, and we know you can manipulate their inventory, then I would say yes.
