Money Trough

The Money Trough is a reusable item that temporarily summons a flying pet-like version of the Piggy Bank. It is dropped by the Drippler and the Blood Zombie at a 1/200 (0.5%) chance in normal mode, or 1/100 (1%) chance in Expert Mode.

The Money Trough enables players to access their Piggy Bank contents without having to place the Piggy Bank or any furniture for it to rest on. The floating Piggy Bank despawns after 3 minutes, but can be re-summoned repeatedly at no cost. Re-summoning it while it is already spawned will simply replace it and refresh the 3-minute countdown. The Flying Piggy Bank does not follow the player like pets or minions would, rather hovering stationary at the point summoned.

Tips

 * This is an early way to have an extended inventory.
 * A useful item for expert mode players who lose 75% of their coins upon death, the Money Trough allows players to deposit their coins at will, regardless of their location.

Trivia

 * The fact it's a flying pig is a joke on the expression "when pigs fly", a figure of speech used to humorously describe something that is impossible or very nearly.
 * When using or leaving the Money Trough, it emits an "oink", sometimes with slightly differing tones.
