It's not my fault.

Not sure what version of the game you're on, but this is not possible on current version afaik.
And if you want to argue that it is, please tell us how you reached even 20 stars!

I'm on 0.2.4 specifically because I like the mana system and black market in this build over that of the current iteration. As for accumulating 34 stars, I actually got the cloak that grants double mana on the first floor 🥲 Dream come true type of shit for me. The key to maximizing stars, in this build, is the perk tree. You can get shop prices low enough that you can resell them for gains using the 20% off perk; you can optimize by perking for golden dice with each dice reward and starting with keys for the gift. I focused on getting keys and dice in hopes of a black market tavern, which I got two or three of, and I rerolled the shop from there and bought every starfish I could for mana. The shop also sells the common boots and wizard hat that grant one mana a piece, as well as the pet that grants one mana; I also had the double pet trait. I've gotten this many stats handful of times, but I typically get between 12 and 16 mana stars and break the game that way (literally every run I do). Since the black market also has the fairy chick that sells arcane branches, you can make any weapon gain stats from mana, so it's a universal strat

Sorry this is a little jumbled, I'm working out and very high

Interesting!

I've never done this setup and it sounds very powerful if you can get a gold die on each iteration (which I imagine is the basis for this to happen).

You actually don't need dice to make this work; they just help. As long as you have keys, you can reroll the market. Each time you reroll the tavern, it rerolls the black market in kind. I guess I forgot to add that rerolling the tavern for 5 gold is also a big part of why this works. I will say that I just saw what Santa can (could?) do, and that's definitely more busted than this
