Hi folks, there're lots of discussions about active or passive gold find barbs for gambling etc or gold find paladins. I thought instead of theory crafting, how about a real challenge?
You don't have to disclose your build and gear, but you can of course!
State your build in general (doesn't have to be a barb by the way) and make a video of your fastest way to 10 million gold.

Rules:
1. You have to show at the start all four stashes are empty and your char doesn't carry any gold on itself.
2. Start of the run has to be in act 3 next to the WP. Afterwards, you can start or go wherever you like. The count starts when you take the WP to travincial.
3. You can sell rares or use any trick to get to those like curses, bugged merc etc. to get 10millions faster. Everything is allowed

The run is ladder only in hc or sc ladder because ladder monsters have got 33% more life than nonladder ones. Times are incomparable otherwise!

Easiest way to capture a video on a windows platform is the command Windows Button + G. Easiest platform to upload to is youtube but you can use any software or platform to record and upload your application run for the best time. See it also as failsafe in case Blizzard bans you, you can always show them with the video that you weren't boting

Just sold the #1 Gold find Barb in NL 2 days ago... and now This... shit..... Gl Boys

Well, wouldn't have helped, the challenge is ladder only. I was tired of all of the Tuesday, best base for infinity or how I can improve my perfect hammerdin threads That's a real challenge where you have to think, optimize and multitask.
P.S.: Any other prize contributers are welcome. I was thinking about the second and third place to encourage more people to participate.

feels like nonladder would have more people to try..

In nonladder, you've got fully optimized builds full of wc 40eg gcs. At that point, allowing single player hero editor would also make sense. The way it is, even newcomers can gear up and contribute in ladder. I am also sure, most of the veterans have got a gf char in softcore or hardcore ladder. The other thing is, monsters really have more life in ladder. That burst damage in eth ariocs you use in nonladder for example might not be enough to pop a council member in ladder as fast as in nonladder.

although it's more fair on ladder, less accumulation of gfg gf gear.

still, this already feels like a situation where the wealthy gets wealthier

/e also HC player are at a distinct disadvantage i think. less able to take risks, etc

eh, had a 13 minute run recently but didn't record, sold all my goldfind stuff
RIP sanity

gl with tournament, looks fun

If this is on, I'll contribute 500 fg

Should do this at the start of ladder, you’d have a lot more entries and 2 brackets for baby core and hard core.

Arguably, you can afford much more with 1k fg now than at the start of ladder.

500fg then for the 2nd place.
