Anyone make a goldfind barb guide?

[Thyiad1]

Hey thanks for that guide link. I've got a couple of Gf'ers and was never happy with the singer type but going to NM never occurred to me. :grin:

:thumbsup: This I will add to my bookmarks.

buut why just not use a hammerdin or mf sorc and on ur way in mf runs pick up gold that way... and then gamble with that gold.. thats what i do and i within 1 day can easily get from 0- max gold... so why not just use a mf char and not waste time making a new one just for gold??

Cus, we want to have goldfind barbs, they rock, and sometimes they find more then gold mind you....

Cool that copy pasted guide is awesome, as well as the jsp ones. I think I got it down pat now =] And yes, I've mfed before, and frankly finding a stormshield after a days running isn't something I enjoy, and I wanna try running for gold exclusively now, and do it as efficiently as possible, as opposed to -while I MF-

Has anyone made a GF barb using a beast for merc killing by the way? Just a thought, though giving up 450 GF from a crystal sword is a big loss. Thanks again!

You don't need beast. Just give merc a big stick like botd ^^

I'm building up my gf barb at the moment. The aptly named "scrounger".
MY reasoning for taking a barb for gold find is because with the Find Item skill you get more gold per run than a sorc or lamerdin

The gear is set in stone. Changeing it changes the Goldfinder.
The gear is intended for PURE, 100% Goldfind.

Helmet: 100% Goldfind Crown of Thieves, socketed with a Lem Rune = 150% GF
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
Armor: Wealth (Lem + Ko + Tir) Light Plate = 300%Gf
Gloves: Chance Guard Chain Gloves = 200%Gf
Boots: Rare Greaves = 80%Gf
Belt: Rare or Goldwrap = 80%Gf
Ring 1: Dwarf Star = 100%Gf
Ring 2: Dwarf Star = 100%Gf
Ammy: Rare/Magic = 80%Gf
Inventory:
Gheed's Fortune Grand Charm (160/xx/15) = 160%Gf
x9 Grand Charms of Greed = 360%Gf
x10 Small Charms of Greed = 100%Gf

Mercenary (It is important you don't get a holy freeze merc).

Helmet: 100% Goldfind Crown of Thieves, socketed with a Lem Rune = 150%Gf
Armor: Wealth (Lem + Ko + Tir). Merc has higher Str. Type is your call.= 300%Gf
Weapon: Bonehew Ogre Axe with x2 Lem Runes = 150%Gf
^Bonehew prevents monster heal and give merc high damage.

Your total Goldfind is am amazing 3,210.

thats the normal stuff but to get the max of 3990% you need to add a few more items to your list.

[sirwhere]

My gambles include

circlet +3 light skills, 20% fast cast
amulet +3 light skills, 10% fast cast
amulet +3 nec summon, 35% mf
ring 10% fast cast, 20 str, 5 dex, 111 AR, PR 20%, LR 8%

3 dual leech rings

This after about 20 hours goldfinding (not straight, of course.. lol).

i need some help with merc's gear for gf barb. I want merc to do all the killing. Probably gonna use might merc.

for my barb-
im thinking of using 2x lemed 6os pbs or 2x 50s lemmed rune master.
armor-wealth
helm- crown of theif-lemmed
glove-chancies
rings-dwarfs
boots-not sure

 

[TheSatan]

2x Runemasters doesnt sound too bad, good idea actually, although you'd miss a bit of GF, it would be pretty minor since your killing speed would go up. For boots the best possible GF ones come from rares, but its usually much easier to get a pair of Infernostrides (40-70% Extra Gold).

I remember making a GF barb back in the day, killing a council and it dropping 50K+ and then horking up another 50K+, it was great.
