Gold efficiency is based upon the core items that give AD, AP or any other stat.

For example, gold efficiency for AD is based upon the Long Sword.. which gives 10 AD for the price of 400 gold. The rest of the items have a certain gold efficiency ratio based upon this item. BF Sword is equivalent to 4 1/2 Long swords, which is 1800 gold.. but has a price of 1550, so it is gold efficient.. because you get the same AD as 4 1/2 Long Swords, but for less money. So because Spirit of the Elder Lizard provides 45 AD, it has the gold efficiency of 1800.

AP would be the Amplifying Tome, and so on.
