Gold Rush and the Big Sale
Two world events: a Gold Rush makes one map's monsters golden, and the Big Sale puts every shop on sale.

When they happen
The day has three world events. Each day, one of the Shooting Star, the Wanted poster and the Jackpot Thief sits out, and a Gold Rush or the Big Sale takes its place (they take turns, a day each). CASINO announces each one in chat when it starts, and the Events window shows it.
Gold Rush
For 15 minutes, one map strikes gold. Every monster that comes back there has a 3% chance of coming back golden, and when it starts, 3 to 5 of the monsters already there turn golden at once. A golden monster drops 10 times the loot of a plain one: tickets and items alike. A Raptor's golden twin, the Golden Raptor, shows up 10 times as often too.
It happens on one of The Gloam, The Lantern Mire, The Boneyard, Cloudreach, The Golden Sands, The Thunderhead, The Trailer Park, The Boardwalk, The Primeval Valley, The Frozen Reach, never the Yard. Bosses and event monsters never turn golden. The Events window's Take me there gets you to the map's edge.
The Big Sale
For 10 minutes, every shop in the world is 30% off, on top of your VIP discount: the Prize Counter, the Store, the bar, Ronde, the outfit stalls, the snack cart, Vance, Brother Tithe, Charon, Yahsmeena, the cape sellers, the gem bag's slots, ability lessons, the Carnival's stalls, the Gem Sorter and every dungeon's ante. Prices show the sale while it runs.
Not on sale: the Store's 2X potions and the War Horn, bets, tinkering, travel, the Exchange and buy-backs.
