Gold is used irl in electronics because of its non-reactive properties, but in limited amounts because of its rarity/value <br /> |DateAnswered=2025-07-03<br /> |AnswerText=Gold does have its value in Karterian tech! It&#039;s valued in electronics (magical and otherwise) for those same properties as it is in real life. Same problems with scarcity too (even worse, over the years, as they can&#039;t exactly go out mining for it), keeping its value high. Recycling old electronics is &lt;i&gt;ingrained&lt;/i&gt; in Karterian society- though things are generally built to last. (Planned obsolescence hadn&#039;t quite had the time to fully take hold of consumer culture before arcane radiation hit, so the quality of existing goods remains relatively high where it exists.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So basically: yes, it&#039;s useful, there&#039;s trace amounts of it in a lot of things.<br /> }}</div>
