Very useful to purchase for fast leveling.

Note: When active, Doubler also increases the minimum stamina necessary to attack.
Example: for a 20 Stamina attack, 2x Doubler = 40 Stamina to attack, 3x Doubler = 60 Stamina to attack, 4x Doubler = 80 Stamina to attack.

Doubler should not be used while item hunting, as it reduces the amount of stamina you have to search.
Doubler works well in conjunction with Conserve.

One should note that doubler doesn't only allow you to burn your stamina faster, it also significanlty reduce the relative loss of stamina due to travelling.

Example, suppose you oneshot all your opponents, you find 4 mobs on each square (average), you always spend only 1 stamina to move and you want to burn 800 of your stamina. Each square will cost you an average of 4 stamina to fight and 1 stamina to move. So, of the 800 stamina spent, 160 will be spent on travelling and 640 on fighting. Now, do the same with a doubler *3: each square will cost you an average of 12 stamina to fight and 1 stamina to move. So of the 800 stamina spent, about 738 will be spent on fighting and only 62 on travelling. That's a 15.3% increase in both XP gain and gold gain.

Here is a recapitulation of the increased XP and gold depending on the number of mobs found per square on average (this depends on how many players are roaming the same map you are) assuming you oneshot 98% of the monsters and 2shot the others:

Doubler 3:

• 2mobs/square: +28.1% (average XP and gold / stamina including travels)
• 4mobs/square: +15.1%
• 8mobs/square: +7.8%

Doubler 4:

• 2mobs/square: +32.8% (average XP and gold / stamina including travels)
• 4mobs/square: +17.3%
• 8mobs/square: +8.9%
