In this Diablo 3 Gold guide, we will be discussing about best possible ways to make gold, a lot of gold. Thanks to the new auction house system by Blizzard, gold and item farming is going to be a very important aspect of the game.

Auction House is not the only reason why people would want to farm gold. It is equally important to have massive amounts of gold with you so that you can buy some of the best gears for your character.

Since we are still in beta when I write this article, we do not have an exact guide for you with best possible ways to farm gold. However, we will share our thoughts on what could potentially become the best when it comes to farming gold.

Diablo 3 Gold Guide – Tips

1. Inferno Mode
2. Demon Hunter – Best Gold Farming Class?
3. Barbarian

Diablo 3 Gold Guide – Inferno

Getting as fast as you can to the Inferno mode will be the best thing one can do. Keep  your good items with you instead of selling them and make sure you have the best of gears in your arsenal to beat this mode.

One of the reasons Inferno mode is the best ways to generate more gold, its because of the item drops you get here. No other modes will drop items found on Inferno level. Due to the fact that its the most difficult one, the rewards you get from this mode are equally epic and thus will fetch you handsome returns.

Diablo 3 Gold Guide – Demon Hunter

I was looking at skills for various classes to figure out what class would be best when it comes to farming gold. The class, and skills, that stand apart from others is Demon Hunter’s Companion ability with alabaster rune stone ‘Ferret Companion’. This combination of talent and runestone increases your chances of getting gold from monsters by 40%. Whether or not this percentage increase works on rare items and boss drops as well, is still unknown. If it does then definitely this could make Demon Hunter one of the best farmer classes.

Diablo 3 Gold Guide – Barbarian

Barbarian also has a few good skills that could potentially make it a good farmer. The two skills I found especially intriguing from Barbarian’s skill set are Threatening Shout and Battle Rage with obsidian rune stones.

Threatening Shout with Terrify [obsidian rune stone] increases the chances of monsters dropping additional treasure by 22%.

Battle Rage with Swords of Ploughshares [obsidian rune stone] increases the chances by 20%, but only for critical hits.

Diablo 3 Gold Guide – Conclusion

Unlike Demon Hunter that just says gold, for Barbarian it clearly says additional treasure. However, it uses two skills and two rune slots which my drastically change the effectiveness of the build. Would it rather make sense to go for a build that slays more number monsters rather than one that kills lesser with additional chances of getting treasures? We do not know yet, but we will definitely do a lot of testing on this!

This Diablo 3 Gold guide will grow over time. Currently we barely know the game to write a detailed one. Crafting system will also have a major role in earning gold and items. Look forward to more updates in the Diablo 3 Gold guide section as the beta advances further towards the launch.
