  • Certain items with drop rates below 5% are raised to 5%.
  • Doubles the amount of money that drops from enemies.
  • Some enemies will drop items that they normally will only drop in certain biomes.

It is obtained from opening a Starter Bag or by crafting it at a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar.
