Gold Farm Question?

[Piggott95]

so when im faming gold i normally buy a 50% booster and throw my lvl70+ pink/blue extra gold% on, after applying the booster i get around 1400% extra gold in my details tab which gets me around 70-80k gold on Darkhold Citadel per run, so for anyone one whos gone balls to the wall with gold farming gear, how much gold are you getting per citadel run in your min maxed farming gear, i just want to know if its worth crafting a full legendary gold farming set or if its kind of a waste of materials. if the 50% booster is too complicated to work out because i know most of you will probably run 200% boosters, what do you get on a none boosted run, i get around 40-50k without a booster applied, thanks.

I have 3860% with a 200% booster so 1287% unboosted. But rarity of gear doesn't play any role. Item level is what counts. Every level has a range. The top is around 69% for a lvl77 max item, be it common or legendary. But lvl77 can also be just 64%

3860% with a 200% booster is 1220% unboosted because it’s Extra Gold: 1220% EG means a factor of 13.20 on gold, tripled by the booster to 39.6, which is 3860% Extra Gold.
The max on a level 77 is 70.25% EG

Crafting Legendary gold farming set is a waste, it's way cheaper to get high level gear on Uncommon or Rare, and high levels beget high attribute values. You'll get a lot of Legendary pieces with Extra-Gold in trials, that will gradually improve your set.

The other side of the coin is that you need enough firepower to finish a level as fast as possible. What you can get in one run is less important than how many runs per booster you can do. Ideally one run in DC should be 15-20 seconds max to get the most of it. If it takes longer, then running Severed Mountain will give you more gold per booster, even if you have less gold per run compared to DC.

yeah no way im doing it in 15-20 seconds, iv got a full lvl 71-72 gold farming set but maybe its movement speed holding me back because enemies arnt really an issue, just one or 2 shots to kill groups with scatter shot

i think iv been running it wrong iv been going to every chest and killing every enemie but i just saw a video of someone just running straight to the end so i did the same and use snipe after killing the boss and i get like 3-5k less each run without a booster so yeah i can do it in about 15-20 seconds XD

For what it's worth, coffee, enchanted pants/boots, Velocinite equipped, and any ability giving Movement Speed are the farmer best friends. Glad you could adjust your strategy.

My farming toon stats for citadel..
Movement speed. 32 from equipment, coffee and champion bonus
Gold bonus from champion stat is 50%
Gold bonus with 200% boost give me about 4300% boost,
Total AB bonus is 50%
(Cool down of frost nova and isolate is about 4.33 secs,
Ability bonus
Feet footed lv 10
Vitality LV 10
Mage armour LV 10


Gold bonuses jewelry 130% on each item
Gear apox LV 77 green normal 55 to 66 %( except for boots)
Class gear ELR chest, Forbidden knowledge staff, EL off hand
Trinket to reduse equipment needed , for the shatter, thermal shock and cosmic ripple effects, all green, equipment
Second trinket anything or epic fire lilly,

Follower is Maggie or non for normal story mode

I find followers can disrupt the run tbh.

Method
Just run st8 to the end and cast frost nova on the mobs just before you go up the ramp to the end and i to deal with the end mobs and any following you and run to the chest, then back th end circle (to start the collection) then the other 2 chests,
Also you can cast a spell with about 7sec cool down right at the beging to clear the way halfway thru the run with cosmic ripple

Using this method I find I get to end in about 12 seconds ISH and then I don't wait till all the gold from the chest is collected I try to end the run at 20 sec leaving any uncollected good, this way I can get about 3 runs a min with about 1000k to 1040k gold per run or about 30000k per min.
Waiting to collect all the gold from then took about 30 sec and usually still only netted about 20000 k per min.

My ANB silver toon with 50% champion GB and 50% ms bonus and 130 AR bonus from CP, 200% gold boost, coffee and meal plus green equipment and crafted jewellery (approx 120 to 130 % each
Give her 28 ms and total gold bonus about 3000% and each run takes about 30 sec ATM with about 10000k per run

Again this is just thru my own personal experience and experiment and there are probably other players who exceed this.

Hope this helps.
