    Maybe rose gold is more gold than copper and electrum is more silver than gold?
    Also, I agree that it would be fun if the dart frogs killed or poisoned you upon consumption, but there are plenty of other raw critters you can eat which would surely poison you as well.

    Consider posting in the LOC forum. That team might be able to tinker with the descriptions on these items to explain it away.

    Oi, now I will be embarrassed. You see that little slit of weird colors ranging from yellow and reds on the side by Vegeta's right shoulder?

    Well, that's my crappy background I made several years ago, at a very bad attempt to start making backgrounds.



    I use dual screens, one screen is smaller, which and when I cropped the image to only being vegeta's face I missed a small spot on the left.

    Just some thoughts on some ingame items that don't make sense.

    1) Poison dart frogs. You can eat them (raw). Why?? Realistically, doing this ought to kill you.

    2) Rose gold = more valuable than electrum. This doesn't make sense because rose gold, while having a nicer sounding name, should be LESS valuable, as it is a mix of gold and copper (peacock ore is also a kind of copper), where as electrum is a mix of gold and silver.
    I think its funny people make fun of you for pointing out a poisonous frog isn't poisonous. .

    +1'd btw.

    I thought of that, but I thought back to when we could craft electrum nuggets, and based on that, they have the same amount of gold as the rose gold. But I suppose now its easy to pretend the silver content is higher than the gold.

    Regarding rose gold, it's a matter of how much gold is present, in proportion of copper/silver. You cannot tell how "fine" the rose gold and the electrum are. Silver is roughly 50 times less valuable than gold. While copper virtually worth nothing in comparison.

    Rose Gold is typically 75% gold / 25% copper. (18K) [It's a matter of color, so it cannot vary too much or you won't obtain something "rose"]
    Electrum ranges from 40% to 90%. (With a lot of historical examples showing something close to 50%/50%) [No set rules on how much silver should be in there to be called electrum / no color requirement either]

    Do the maths, now you understand why Rose Gold can be more expensive.

    Edit: Punainen said the same while I was replying :d
