The '''Gold bar''', also known as the '''gold nugget''', is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a valuable solid gold bullion that can be sold for a high amount of gold coins and can also be used for [[alchemy]] and item crafting.

There are a total of three gold nuggets that can be acquired normally in the game. One is received from [[Princess Minnie]] in exchange for 52 [[mini medal]]s. Two more can be found in the [[Godbird's Eyrie]] in both the World of Darkness and the World of Light. It can also be dropped rarely by [[Democrobot]]s.

* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, two more gold nuggets were added—one in the [[Altar of Wroth]] and another in [[Memories Lane]]. They can also be found rarely in rank 4 blue treasure chests.

The gold nugget can be sold for 5,000 gold, but it can also be used for a few recipes for the [[Alchemy Pot]]:
