Personally? Not really. I recommend having a char that can kill dclone but that’s not a likely occurrence or even really necessary. You can always pay someone to kill it for you. And barb is not as fast at dclone as other builds like sin or pally.

Even if you were only botting so the sheer boredom of trav runs wasn’t a concern, it would still be better to run pally or sorc. I just can’t think of a reason you would ever make a trav barb unless you enjoyed mindless repetitive gameplay or there is one specific magic item you need to gamble that nobody else would ever keep.

Right now, im looking for a really budget build so I can give it a try and see if I enjoy it. Looking for the best balance between GF and clear speed. As this is 75% about HRs to me. The gold is just a big upside.


Fair enough. My perspective is it's not as worth it until the barb is built similar to what I suggested. The barb tele's as fast as a sorc. Horks fast as shit. Runs WAY faster than the other classes (especially if sorc doesn't wear enigma).

Well the idea that a sorc would be a better option for doing this is a large reason why I made this post, in order to hear opinions about whether its worth investing into vs investing into another char. Still hoping for some more opinions.


Javazon running cows would be a better grind than a low gf/mf barb trying to milk 0.08 hrs per hour in trav

I'm not the most knowledgeable but I did build a gf/hork barb for goldfinding travs and it's already returned my entire investment with just high runes..

Everyone's experience is different. I actually do enjoy endlessly running travs because the 1minute average run timer is perfect for my attention span. Literally can do it for hours. They are also not too expensive to start.

Run travs, collect gold, items, runes, charms, gems, gamble, profit

Could also sell the gold and make unid packs for more profit


I followed Exokek's guide.

Thanks for the reply! My end goal is to have one or two end game MF chars that compliment each other well. My favorite things to farm are high runes, jewelry, charms and such. Which trav is perfect for. My concern is the clear speed of a barb compared to something else. As if something else clears a fair bit faster, then find item isnt the most worth. Trav farming seems nice to me. I also like the idea of a light sorc as I hate feeling limited as to where I farm because of immunites. I really want those one or two characters that I can invest into and that compliment each other well. Just need to determine what those two are.

At this point, I think im going to give it a try if I can find a cheap setup. I dont want to invest too much into it, until I see if I enjoy it and feel its one of those two chars for me. Still would love to hear some more opinions about this though! Thanks Indo.

Point is you can put on more mf/gf than a sorc on while you hork corpses, you're going to find items more than 50% of the time (depends on item find lvl) in player 1, completely unaffected by no drop chance. I'd also advise to visit eldtrich and shenk. My investment was completly returned, the barb made me even rich :D
You need a really fat, hard hitting weapon either on yourself or your merc otherwise you're wasting time.

Yes, at least aside from quest bugged boss runs, I too believe travincal gold find barb is the best roi build. It may take some experience to optimalize, but when you do, you build items and such quickly. Leveling a character to the optimum level in order to gamble properly is important too. You can even sell gold for fg if you want.
