a good tip that will speed up your runs:

instead of casting your warcries at the wp, cast them once you go into the durance and back, it allows you to run straight there and not lose any time from it. also you should find item while they are dying and not save it till the end. i'm curious as to how well a hell gf barb would work, because i'm missing a few gf here and there and my merc's wealth but for the most part i'm only averaging maybe 250k a run max, and they're 50 second runs at best

Very cool guide, though I have this 2 stupid doubts for a long time:

With all that amount of gold you earn, do you use that gf baba for the gambles or do you use the highest level character you have?

I'm asking this because I always thought that the % of getting nice gambled items, such as rares or uniques, was depending on your character level. And btw, is it better to gamble in Normal Mode rather then Hell Mode?


*PS. - If this isn't the right place for this "doubts" please pm the right forum to do it.


Thank you for your support,

"Weapon 1: A 6socketed Crystal Sword with 6Lem Runes in each. = 450%Gf
Weapon 2: A 6socketed Crystal Sword with 6Lem Runes in each. = 450%Gf"

For those of you who aren't so ADD that you can only handle 44 second long games, I suggest after NM trav,you boost your take by running through the Kurasts. Not only are there fewer monsters per square yard, there's over 1000 skeletons, logs, corpses, chests, baskets, stashes and urns. My gf barb has around 2600% gf and gets, on average, 10k gold for every kicked open stash. If it's locked, well, add in the chance for double drops, and I regularly get 3 piles of 10k-32k per chest.

Last few runs I did, my Trav haul was similar to the one posted, and I suppose that's fine if you like making new games every 2 minutes. Me, I've always done trav + at least one Kurast. I usually clear over 2 million with Trav + 1 1/2 kurasts. With good FRW, it takes 5-7 minutes tops. You just walk side to side to cover the level. Don't even worry about the chests in the buildings. There'll be plenty falling right in your path. NM Trav + Kurast run and find item-ing the occasional monster pack and a lvl 92 can max their gold in less than 10 mins.

Also, bonehew's bone spear seems to shatter about 1 in 4 corpses (for me anyway). I couldn't find any other sources of cold damage, so that's what it looks like. Tomb reaver also reanimates 10%, which doesn't help. Perhaps a 6os high ed% pike with variable lems would work better. Dunno.

Rrrright.

A Few Uses for Gold
aka an impromptu list by kel.
------------------------

1. Use gold from GF barb to keep your chars monied, so they can resurrect mercs. If you chaos regularly and lose a merc every time, chances are after resurrect and repairs, you won't come out ahead.
2. USe gold from gf barb to pay for repairs, merc resurrect and other needs during marathon uber Trist runs.
3. Use gold from gf barb to buy crafting supplies from noobs
4. Use gold from gf barb to gamble ammys, rings and circlets and...

Yeah, gold is totally pointless...
