So my GR and overall char progress lately has been grinding to a halt because of lack of gold. I can farm about 10M/hour…but that’s nothing when my Furnace or SK rolls are 5mil each (Yeah, I’m that lucky). Plus rolling rings/amulets for sockets has been taking a toll on my gold stash. While I’m struggling with gold I see people boosting around with billions lately, some other just in the hundreds of millions, but still…
The secret to this seems to be this elusive gem: Boon of the Loot Hoarder. I looked around, searched info, started to farm the 4 maps posts here and there would say have the biggest chances at having a goblin.
I spent hours chasing those bastards. I don’t know how many I killed, but I went from having 3M gold to 39M gold. I got no portal all this time. If I would have made T6 runs (I can clear a T6 rift in under 6 minutes solo) I could have made close to 60-70M.
One of my friends got his gem in the first days of 2.1. He didn’t even understood what the gem does until I told him yesterday. He went into a T6 rift, cleared it in about 10 minutes and came out with 17 mil gold. He made about 60M gold in half an hour. I can make at most 10M/hour. I wasted 4 or 5 hours chasing goblins all over the lore and got about 35 mil out of it….
Today I have 300 forgotten souls, I have 5000+ blue and gold mats and I have 5 mil coins…I can’t roll my weapon, I can’t roll my gear, I can’t make gems to just play a different class to change the flavor. I understand RNG and this is not the first game I’m playing. But this gold limiting is just retarded and makes me sad and discouraged beyond belief and I’m actually contemplating quitting this game entirely.
Yes, the gold disparity is too large right now. You either have no gold at all (no gem) or billions (gem). Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed anymore... unless they introduce a new currency. Gold essentially has become an infinite resource for many players.
Also, your friend can make much more gold than that... you can make up to a billion per hour if you farm Ruins of Corvus with full GF gear.
Just equip some GF gear and use the boon of the hoarder, then go to act 5 "Ruins of corvus" clear that area (actually it's two similar maps, from the wp- one to the east and one jsut head north). The little scarabs that claimb the walls and stuff, kill those and you willget lots of gold. I believe people said you can get to like 100m an hour? Give that a try.
GF gear: Goldskin, amulet with secondary gf roll (70-90% iirc), topaz in helm, goldwrap (also for toughness if you need it), Avarice band ring is nice for the pickup radius but you don't really need it for this run... And any other gear slot with GF as a secondary roll (i.e Raven's wing bow for dh has 70%+ gf).
Good luck.
Edit: oh, misread op... If you do T6 speed rifts you should get a good gold per hour ratio imo.. .Keep doing that untill you get the gem. Every once in a while go kill some goblins untill you get the portal... Don't go specifically goblin farming, it's crap imo.
Which is fine. If you want something, you farm for it. He wants gold, so now he has to farm goblins untill he gets a vault. Easy peasy. He's just sad that he didn't get one yet. The very first thing I did after hitting 70 and getting enough gear to easily kill 2x T1 goblins, was spend my entire first day in seasons farming them (because they had the double spawn), so that I wouldn't have to care about gold later on.

Goblins which are killed within a Rift do not spawn the Vault portal.
Never said they do. Worded myself in a crappy way but what i meant was that he should just farm t6 rifts and every once in a while go kill a couple of gobs... He should keep farming t6 untill he gets the boon of the hoarder, blah blah...
I got a portal in the end. but it was the troll one to the unicorn / teddy bear land. I was 5 seconds away from delete/uninstall.
I kept a record of how many goblin kills I have so far: 234. 1 portal and it was the troll one.
To be fair, that goblin looks completely different than a normal goblin. But yeh, of the two portals i've gotten, the last one was the whimseydale crap.
I got a Leoric's Crown with +83% bonus to slotted gem, with said helm and with highest gold find gem you can come up with, can make it worth it. But, hehe, i have da boon =) AND da crown....

No I'm not farming goblins in rift.
