Imbued with Greed Energy

— In-Game Description

Greed Imbuements are one of the Imbuements used to mutate Lost Zones. Greed-imbued zones typically have gold piles scattered throughout, which can be picked up at the cost of gaining a Greedy debuff that increases all damage taken, as well as occasionally spawning Gold Mites. Spectra outcrops will also reward a small amount of gold. Greed Imbuements can found from Events, Lost Zones, or can be crafted at an Echo Matrix with 10Cragged Spectra and 50.

It is arguably more likely there will be an encounter with the Loot Goblin, while the Phoenix Eggs mutator potentially increases the odds of encountering the Altar of the Phoenix.

Greed (Greed)

Piles of gold are scattered throughout the area, and can be touched for a small sum of Gold. However, each pile adds one stack of Greed, increasing all damage taken. Gold Mites may spawn after each pick-up. Breaking Spectra outcrops also rewards some Gold.

Golden Cache (Greed/Shadow)

Enemies are Gloomtouched. Throughout the area are indestructible gold mounds reinforced with Gloom crystals. These crystals can only be destroyed by the death explosion of Gloomtouched enemies, which will release the gold within.

Gold Blooms (Greed/Flora)

Enemies are venomous, inflicting Toxic Poison. The piles of gold throughout the zone each surround a poisonous plant that creates toxic slime. At random intervals, the plants will launch gold projectiles towards players, dealing minor damage and applying one stack of Greed. Picking up the gold pile will remove the plant and slime, but will also add one stack of Greed and will occasionally spawn Gold Mites.

Phoenix Eggs (Greed/Solar)

Enemies are imbued with burning properties, inflicting Solar Ignition. On death, non-boss enemies leave behind a golden egg that can be destroyed, which applies one stack of Minor Greed to the destroyer. When the Heatwave occurs, the eggs will ignite and revive the enemy and imbues them with the Midas effect. The revival effect can only happen once per enemy.

Golden Bombs (Greed/Chaos)

At random intervals, 1 - 3 Trickster Chests will spawn around players, which will detonate after a delay. For players, the explosion will deal damage and apply one stack of Greed. For enemies, a Midas effect will be applied.

Midas (Greed/Greed)

Enemies are affected by a Midas effect, giving them a Resilience bar. This includes enemies that normally do not have Resilience. Breaking their guard will apply one stack of Minor Greed to players, slightly increasing damage taken and lasting for 90 seconds.

Power From Profit (Greed Imbuement Boon)

Every stack of negative Greed also grants a stack of positive Greed, slightly increasing damage and movement speed. Minor Greed stacks do not grant any buffs. As this boon relies on Greed stacks, this will have no effect on mutators without the Greed debuff.
