Gold Find (Classic)

Barb Gold Finder equipment (around 500% GF and 300% MF) without character (account), which we sell separately.
This gear guide is for Diablo 2 Classic. You can convert your character to Lord of Destruction (LoD) but there are better unique items and runewords available in the expansion.
We recommend bringing alt Enchantress Sorc (using second D2) to get around 2000 fire damage on each attack and 300% Attack Rating.

GF gear will provide rare items from gambling but unique/set will also drop. It's an excellent alternative to popular MF Sorc/Pala item finders.
You will farm Hell or Nightmare Travincal Council in Act 3 (Item Find on corpses), then use gold for gambling. Luck is based on character level so you want to be at least level 85.

Vendors with gamble option are:
Act 1: Gheed
Act 2: Elzix
Act 3: Alkor
Act 4: Jamella

You may request different items, as long as they are priced similarly.
