Commentary

Gold is delicious, and this is the most delicious gold mutation there is, because it is a multiplier to every bit of gold you ever get, regardless of the source. Normal reptile, gold, boss, gold boss, leech, midas swarm, emerald strand, whatever. It is not a huge % gain per level but it is still worth every drop you can put into it. That said, if you are wanting to raise one specific aspect of the game - example being the output of your Leech, then it might be cheaper to invest in the other mutations that specifically impact that source, as they will generally give you a bigger boost for less DNA - but do not neglect this one.
