I don't use Poke, but I've got a remark to make. There's a difference between the number of gold in your stats, which is a number you've already found, and the gold piles in your inventory. These gold piles, 50000 each and one pile for the remainder, are actually objects, so you can't simply add them by editing a number in memory. What you probably CAN do however, is edit the gold in a certain stack. Search for the number of gold pieces in one particular stack, for example 12345, and you can change that stack to 50000, but you can't add extra stacks. I haven't tested this, but if there's a way to make multiple stacks in your inventory of only 1 gp each (or another low number that can be easily searched for in memory) then you can raise each stack to 50000. You'll have to find adresses for each stack though. I also think that the number in the stats that you found, is actually a sum of the totals in your inventory. In other words if even 1 gp is added or subtracted in your inventory, the number in the stats would reset itself to the total number in the inventory. In other words the value of the gold in stats depends on the value of each stack in the inventory. Maybe the better way is to look for ONE stack, and lock that value permanently to 50000. This way you can buy whatever you want and it won't lower. If you want more you'll have to lock more stacks. All of this is naturally pure guesswork on my side, so just take from my advice what actually works and ignore the rest as the musings of someone who really, really ought to get some sleep

No I'd suggest you just play the game. There's a spell, I think of the divine school, 'Gift Of The Heavens' that gives random treasure, so by then you'll be able to literally fill the screen with gold. Just play the game and regularly sell stuff to merchants and you'll be rich in no time. If there's one message about this game on the forums, it's that gold is very easy to get.
