I have to admit. I had some serious spending issues throughout RoS. I came into the expansion with 3.8 billion gold and I went as low as 120 million at one point (gearing 11 characters would do that).
But this gem... Boon of the Hoarder... this thing is a godsend. It drops from Greed in the elusive goblin zone, The Vault. When you socket it into jewelry, your kills have a chance to explode in gold.
You can combine the effect with Goldwrap for major lulz. Yes, it's possible to hit billions of toughness on sheet, making T6 a joke. Absolute joke.
I will not be surprised if this gets tweaked. It's been addressed once in Greater Rifts because it was game breaking. Players were utilizing the gem's effects to spawn gold in GRs, using Goldwrap to skyrocket their toughness and thereby making high level GR damage a joke,
Anyway, gem is tons of fun, makes gold farming interesting, and definitely worth the time to sit down and seek/level.
yeah, i have 2 of these gems,it's pretty sick. i only did 2 portals and once i got the gems i just equipped it while collecting trial keys, on t6 rifts it nets about 20-25m per rift without even trying to kill everything. pretty ridiculous to be honest.
I put it on my T3 Monk and did some bounties, without upgrading it, and just for a bit before playing with the wife onn our wizzsies, and I had 86 mill in no time at all.
Cannot tell you how fun it is to just steamroll through field of misery and pick up all the gold. I'll be doing all my gem upgrading this week, all of it.
I love it, mine is not up graded and I use it for normal play but in two days I went from 40 mill to 97 mill, gold has been a curse for me but now it makes the game fun even if I find no legs (which is the usual case) I hope they don't nerf it. How does gold wrap give you a lot of toughness?
Ha, that is cool to see the goldwrap in effect with such a mass amount of gold. Just did the goblin realm today and made a cool 60 mil. I'll have to start spending some more and trying this out on T6 when I get low. Seems like a blast, thanks for sharing!
Off-topic, but, I know YouTube overlay ads pull from browser history/cookies/cache for what they display, but that doesn't make it any less funny (at least to me), that the overlay ad that it showed when I watched this video was for Square's credit card reader.
Personally i got more than enough gold. I don't think i will ever farm anything that is gold related... and probably wont use boh unless maybe on a dh for normal bounties ( for the ms) but even then, not sure how efective it would be.
Killed over 600 goblins and wasted a whole day farming with nothing to show for it, diablo has turned into a "luck" based game, even competing with greater rifts, get a good rift and you face roll it, get a bad one and you lose. same with gear, everything about this game is luck and has nothing to do with skill besides dodging a few affixes.
also they make the most game breaking item super rare. the funnt part is i had been farming for 10 hours my friend hops on and finds it in 5 minutes.

Boon does not proc from pets(sentries) so, use a build without all that to get your gold. IE normal bounties with multishot/duel wielding cbows, strafe etc.
Also a side note, while this is simply fun, I do get the biggest smile, MY WIFE who rarely plays has seen this in action AND my gold stash and doesn't understand why it's so hard to get one of her own. You know, what's hers is hers, what's mine is hers..."we" played a lot yesterday and didn't get any portals sadly.
Second side note, she did some GRifts with me, we duoed wizards, and she really liked the set up.
So, for the more casual, these things seem to be crowd pleasers based on a personal sample size of "one", my wife.
Third side note, a happy wife is a happy life....I gotta get her into the vault...
Is there a guide or something on how to farm goblins? like are there spots where they always spawn and stuff like that. i played a lot since season started but didnt see the vault yet
There are no spots with guaranteed goblins (there used to be). I run in a group and split farm parts of Act III (Tower of the Damned, Cursed, Core, Rakkis, Stonefort). I got my first one soloing and two more in a group of four within half an hour. RNG is RNG, though.
A good idea is to just run Bounties since gobs show up fairly often while you're running all those different zones. Plus, you get some Caches and keys along the way, so why not?
Yeah, bounty runs are simply the way to go. Just run 'em where you need 'em and keep an eye out for the gold thieves.
My boy and I hit a portal day one, eraly on, haven't seen one since, but I sure am looking ahrder now. Used to be goblins weren't a priority as I'd get myself in some tight spots madly chasing them for what seemed not that great a drop bundle, BUT now I'm right back at it...

I know that it does not proc from sentries. What i meant was that i might use it on the dh for normal bounties when using the danneta set jsut for the extra movement speed.
I have a lvl 25 boon of the hoarder in an avarice band and it makes my key farming much more bearable. I usually make between 3-6 million gold per T6 keywarden. I only attack when I am completely surrounded (and try not to do that). The avarice band is wonderful for making sure you don't have to go to a single gold pile besides the first.

// too bad, it's turned off in GRifts, would make more fun progressing further than grlvl31 ._.
