You need to have at least 400 gold to be able to use Potion Petition, but the actual cost varies. Gozag won't gift effects that are useless for your species.

 Other than that, Gozag also offers strong "general" buffs. Gold distraction is an easy ability to underestimate: it reduces the damage you take against groups, and offers many opportunities to stab. Call Merchant allows you to get gear and items - especially good for [[book]]s, where 8+ valuable books will generate per shop. Don't go overboard; Call Merchant gets very expensive quickly, and there's no guarantee that anything is actually useful.
-These traits make Gozag an amazing god for [[Ziggurat]]s. Gold distraction has an exaggerated effect in them, and the sheer amount of gold means that you can permanently buff yourself ([[haste]] in particular), even for [[mummies]] or [[lich form]] players.

-[[Necromancy]]-focused characters should stray away, as gold corpses are unsuitable for raising the dead.

The [[Elven_Halls#Elf:2_-_The_Hall_of_Blades|Hall of Blades]]' weapons are also relegated to just gold.

 Gozag is a very strong god, if you use its abilities early and often. The god offers Potion Petition, a fairly cheap and extremely powerful ability, and Bribe Branch, an even stronger ability that can completely destroy dangerous floors.
-*Potion Petition is unreliable - you might not get a useful set of effects, and there's always a chance for all three sets to have [[berserk]] when you don't want to. However, the average power is quite good for the price; for example, it can grant [[haste]], [[invisibility]], and [[potion of heal wounds|heal wounds]] ''at the same time''. Most potions aren't immediate escape options, but many can help a situation greatly.
+*Potion Petition is unreliable - you might not get a useful set of effects, and there's always a chance for all three sets to have [[berserk]] when you don't want to. However, the average power is quite good for the price, and the ability to grant multiple effects like [[haste]], [[invisibility]], and [[potion of heal wounds|heal wounds]] ''at the same time'' is strong. Most potions aren't immediate escape options, but many can help a situation greatly.
 *Few things simplify the [[Realm of Zot]] like an allied [[orb of fire]], and Bribe Branch does just that. It can also make other "troublesome" floors, such as rune vaults, easier. Other than the bribe running out, the one weakness is that it won't work against monsters you've already seen. If your bribery fund begins to run low, you can put an extra 3000 gold towards it by using the ability again.
