  # **Diablo 4 Gold Guide: How to Farm, Spend & Maximize Your Wealth** 

  ## **Introduction** 
  Gold is the **lifeblood of Diablo 4’s economy**, used for everything from **rerolling affixes** to **buying gear and upgrading items**. Unlike *Diablo 2* (where gold was nearly useless), *Diablo 4* makes gold **essential for endgame progression**. 

  This guide covers the **best gold farming methods**, **smart spending strategies**, and **how to avoid wasting gold** on unnecessary upgrades. 

  
  ## **1. How Gold Works in Diablo 4** 
  Gold serves multiple purposes, including: 
  ✅ **Item Upgrades** (Blacksmith) 
  ✅ **Affix Rerolling** (Occultist) 
  ✅ **Trading with Players** (Limited but useful) 
  ✅ **Purchasing Gear from Vendors** (Early-game) 

  ### **Gold vs. Other Currencies** 
  - **Gold** = General-purpose currency. 
  - **Obols** = Used for gambling at Purveyors. 
  - **Forgotten Souls** = Endgame crafting (not gold-based). 

  
  ## **2. Best Gold Farming Methods** 
  If you’re running low, these strategies will **boost your gold income fast**. 

  ### **A. Helltide Events (Best for Gold + Materials)** 
  - **Open Helltide Chests** (especially **Mystery Chests**). 
  - **Kill elites & bosses** (drop raw gold + sellable loot). 

  ### **B. Nightmare Dungeon Speed Farming** 
  - **T30+ Dungeons** drop **high-value rares & legendaries**. 
  - **Sell unwanted gear** instead of salvaging. 

  ### **C. World Events & Legion Invasions** 
  - **Gold rewards** scale with World Tier (WT4 = most profit). 
  - **Fast completion = more gold/hour**. 

  ### **D. Selling Gear (Rares > Legendaries)** 
  - **Rare items** sell for more gold than legendaries. 
  - **Only salvage legendaries** if you need materials. 

  ### **E. Gold Farming Routes (Open World)** 
  - **Temple of Rot (Kehjistan)** – Dense elite packs. 
  - **Saraan Caldera (Fractured Peaks)** – High mob density. 

  
  ## **3. Smart Gold Spending Strategies** 
  Wasting gold early can **cripple your endgame funds**. Follow these rules: 

  ### **A. Early Game (1-50) – Save Gold!** 
  - **Only upgrade gear** you’ll use for **10+ levels**. 
  - **Avoid excessive rerolls** at the Occultist. 

  ### **B. Mid Game (WT3) – Invest in Key Upgrades** 
  - **Focus on weapons & core armor pieces**. 
  - **Reroll 1-2 affixes max** (costs escalate quickly). 

  ### **C. Endgame (WT4) – Gold Sink Warning!** 
  - **Rerolling perfect affixes** can cost **millions per attempt**. 
  - **Prioritize BiS (Best-in-Slot) items only**. 

  
  ## **4. Gold Exploits & Tricks (Patched & Current)** 

  ### **Patched Methods (No Longer Work)** 
  ❌ **Infinite vendor resets** (fixed in S1). 
  ❌ **Duping via trade glitches** (bannable offense). 

  ### **Still-Working Tricks (2024)** 
  ✔ **Bulk-selling rares** (faster than salvaging). 
  ✔ **Alt-farming** (low-level chars sell gear for quick gold). 

  
  ## **5. Gold vs. Trading Economy** 
  - **Gold is tradable**, but most high-end deals use **item swaps**. 
  - **Scam warning**: Never trust "gold doubling" services. 

  
  ## **6. Future of Gold in Diablo 4** 
  Blizzard may adjust: 
  🔹 **Gold drop rates** (nerfs/buffs). 
  🔹 **New gold sinks** (e.g., leaderboard resets). 

  
  ## **Conclusion** 
  Mastering *Diablo 4* gold means: 
  ✅ **Farming Helltides & Nightmare Dungeons efficiently**. 
  ✅ **Selling (not salvaging) marginal rares**. 
  ✅ **Spending wisely—no early-game splurging!** 
  ✅ **Avoiding scams & dupes (bans happen)**. 

  **Now go forth—may your coffers overflow!** 

  
  ### **Key Takeaways:** 
  💰 **Helltides = Best gold/hour (open Mystery Chests)** 
  💰 **WT4 Nightmare Dungeons > WT3 for farming** 
  💰 **Reroll affixes sparingly—costs snowball!** 
  💰 **Scammers lurk—trade via official systems only**
