Usage

When purchased from the Dark Auction, it gains a ❁ Damage and ❁ Strength bonus based on how much the winner paid for it. The maximum possible buff is +120 ❁ Damage and +120 ❁ Strength, at 50,000,000 coins paid.

The Greed ability can be deduced from the formula below, with each value being cumulative with the steps before it.

Bid Amount (coins)	❁ Damage bonus formula (x = Bid Amount)	Bonus at max	Cumulative
<1M	${\frac{x}{50\,000}}$	‭20‬	‭20‬
1M–2.5M	${\frac{x-1\,000\,000}{100\,000}}$	‭15‬	35
2.5M–7.5M	${\frac{x-2\,500\,000}{200\,000}}$	‭25‬	60
7.5M–25M	${\frac{x-7\,500\,000}{500\,000}}$	‭35‬	95
25M–50M	${\frac{x-25\,000\,000}{1\,000\,000}}$	‭25‬	120
≥50M	120

The output is added to the base damage of 150 and the base strength of 0 to produce the stats of the sword, where the base price for the Midas' Sword is 100,000 coins.
