The higher the level of the character, the more difficult the game becomes and the slower the leveling process is. We can only accelerate this by increasing the level of difficulty with additional players or increasing our farm speed. For that, we need better Diablo 2 Resurrected items to improve character. The so-called BiS items (Best in Slot) should be listed for each class guide. Often it just says which affixes are important for the respective build. Some items can be farmed in a targeted manner, others can only be obtained through luck. In this Extra Gold and Magic Find Guide, we explain how you can improve your yield and your luck in Diablo 2 Resurrected and how these two affixes work. A few important facts are summarized in advance.
- All gold and magic find bonuses on the equipment of our mercenary are added to our values. However, the mercenary must deal with the final hit on the enemy.
- Gold and Magic Find bonuses are not active when opponents defeat each other through skills such as Mind Strike (Assasin), Conversion (Paladin) and Center.
- The Magic-Find Bonus does not affect runes. So we get neither more runes nor better runes with a high Magic-Find value.
- The Magic-Find Bonus has no influence on gambling.
- The Magic Find Bonus has no influence on the result of Horadrim Cube recipes.
Extra gold in Diablo 2 Resurrected
The extra gold affix is self-explanatory. The higher this value, the more gold is left behind as loot. With 100% extra gold from monsters, you get twice as much gold. If you get 500% extra gold from monsters, you get 600 instead of 100 gold.
What is the best class to farm gold in Diablo 2 Resurrected? The best build of gold is with a barbarian, as he has a skill that allows him to find more treasure.
Barbarian: find items
With the Find Items ability, barbarians increase the chance of additional loot. At level 20 you have a 51% chance that twice as many items including gold will be left behind as loot. You will find a matching Gold Find Barbarian Build with us.
What do you need gold for in Diablo 2 Resurrected? In the end game of Diablo 2 Resurrected, gold is actually only needed for gambling. There you have the chance to get strong amulets as well as certain set items and unique items.
Where is the best place to farm gold? Councilors in the Travincal in Act III leave the most gold.
Reduce gambling costs
Since most players collect gold for gambling, we have another tip ready. Get yourself an arch with 3 bases and get the rune word cutting edge – TirTalAmn. This reduces the dealer prices by 15%, which also applies to gambling.

Mercenary equipment
The best option is a mercenary from the second act and the difficulty level Nightmare. Because only there we can hire an offensive mercenary with the aura of power. We equip this as follows:
150% extra gold – helmet: crown of thieves with 100% extra gold and a Lem rune
300% extra gold – armor: rune word prosperity – LemKoTir
Dying – VexHelElEldZodEth on a war spike
In order for the extra gold bonus from the mercenary to be added to our extra gold bonus, the latter must give the enemy the last blow. Therefore, a strong weapon is more important in this case than a weak weapon with a high extra gold bonus.
Magic Find Guide
The affix “better chance of getting magical items” does not increase the number of D2R items on PC, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch left behind. This increases the chance that items with a higher quality level will be left behind. The following quality levels are available in Diablo 2 Resurrected:
Normal -> Magical -> Rare -> Set -> Unique
Magic-Find calculation (Calculator)
The higher the quality level, the lower the MF bonus.
Magic item: Magic-Find
Rare item: Magic-Find * 600 / (Magic-Find + 600)
Set item: Magic-Find * 500 / (Magic-Find + 500)
Unique item: Magic-Find * 250 / (Magic-Find + 250)
We take Medusa’s gaze as an example. This unique shield is left behind as loot at Baal on Hell difficulty with a chance of 0.03% (1: 3375). With a Magic-Find value of 1,000%, the chance increases to 0.09%.
Magic Find equipment
Below is an overview of the items with the highest Magic-Find value. However, it does not make sense to only pay attention to this affix, as it has a so-called “removable effect”. If you reach an MF value of 1,000%, you have a 200% higher chance of receiving aunique item, you also can buy D2R items from AOEAH website. With a full set of MF equipment, however, you deal significantly less damage and take much longer to farm. The most effective is an MF value of 300% with which you still have a 136% higher chance of receiving a unique item. This 300% can be achieved, for example, with chest armor, a helmet and two rings. The remaining slots should be long for a quick farm build. Farm speed and MF value should always be in harmony.
In the following examples we have always selected an actual rune. This increases the MF bonus by 25%. For armor and helmets, however, a perfect topaz with an MF bonus of 24% is cheaper.
Weapons
180% MF bonus: weapon with 6 sockets and 6 actual runes (barbarian can carry 2 weapons)
159% MF bonus: Blade of Ali Baba with 99% at level 99 and 2 actual runes

147% MF bonus: Skullder’s wrath with 122% MF bonus at level 99 and 1 actual rune
