I got some very sweet equipment upgrades from WoRG a few days ago, and results have been predictably nice. I got a Teleport amulet with 79% GF and +3 warcries among other stuff, which bumped hork% from 51 to 53 (compared to using an amulet with no skills), which is kinda neat since horking is insane for GFbarbs (900% extra GF = larger gold piles, and a guaranteed 3 drops from each hork = more gold piles). I also got a nice +14str +114% GF classic rare belt, so my GF total has increased by a lot since the last reported runs. I'm back to using 1.07 War Traveler over the 111% rares I got, mostly because I like the FRW.Code:| forum name | character | best run | runs | run average |build |GF on kill|GF on hork| |-------------|----------------|------------|------|-------------|--------|----------|----------| |Fabian | TravBarb | 19.402.902 | ? | - |WW |1761 |2661 | |Fabian | AxeGoldie | 16.481.925 | 14 | 14.114.161 |WW |1619 |2519 | |Fabian | WWGoldie | 13.878.412 | 25 | 11.262.666 |WW |1458 |2358 | |Jaedhann | Giebgold | 13.738.272 | many | not sure |WW | | | |zerth | ScroogeMcDuckII| 12.946.785 | 7 | 11.132.742 |Warcry |2351 |2244 | |zaphodbrx | Hrothgar | 11,132,719 | 1 | 11,132,719 |WW | | | |maareek | GibCouncilGrief| 10.332.795 | 12 | 8.199.068 |WW |1461 |2225 | |Corrupted | Majestic | 8.902.754 | 2 | 8.587.480 |WW | | | |dune | GoldFinger | 8,862,493 | 31 | not sure |Warcry | | | |Fabian | WWGoldBarb | 8.708.749 | 1 | 8.708.749 |WW | | | |zerth | GoldMine | 8.618.899 | 1 | 8.618.899 |WW | | | |Fabian | GoldBarb | 8.087.365 | 1 | 8.087.365 |Warcry | | | |poops | IgorHorkov | 7.696.746 | 10 | 5.669.806 |WW |1062 |1836 | |AJK | CashCow | 7.648.062 | 8 | 6.728.016 |Frenzy | | | |Cyrax | LeapOfFaith | 6.483.353 | 6 | 5.331.682 |Leap | | | |LHTB | Fasces | 5.133.963 | 1 | 5.133.963 |Frenzy | | | |skiff | hfa | 1.835.539 | 1 | 1.830.000 |Telesorc| | | |purplelocust | Orfebre | 1.857.304 | 1 | 1.857.304 |Leap | | | |skiff | Tixi | 1.341.402 | 4 | 1.224.440 |Trapasin| | | |SnickerSnack | Cortez | 0 | 0 | 0 |Warcry | | | |maxicek | Count_Brass | 0 | 0 | 0 |Frenzy | | | |-------------|----------------|------------|------|-------------|--------|----------|----------|
After I got that stuff I decided to do a respec, so I opened my handy WW Barb Excel spreadsheet and started figuring out which combination of str/dex gave the highest damage per second. After quite a bit of tinkering I figured out that you wanted as much Strength as possible, but also that AR from equipment was more valuable than +max damage type stuff. So, out went my worst Sharp of Greed type charms, and in went a few Steel of Greed. It did hurt a lot to cut a literally perfect LC:
..but it meant both an increase in DPS and an increase in GF, so it was tough to ignore. A few other nice ones also got the axe:Code:Serrated Large Charm of Greed Large Charm Required Level: 42 Fingerprint: 0x6697c0d8 Item Level: 94 Version: Expansion +12 to Maximum Damage 22% Extra Gold from Monsters
Oh well. End result is I now get 618 GF from my charms, which is 2 below the maximum possible. A 10/64/39 and a 123/39 are bringing the numbers downCode:Sharp Grand Charm of Greed Grand Charm Required Level: 21 Fingerprint: 0x2d64653a Item Level: 81 Version: Expansion 1.10+ +10 to Maximum Damage +62 to Attack Rating 38% Extra Gold from Monsters Shimmering Small Charm of Greed Small Charm Required Level: 25 Fingerprint: 0x5eae07ec Item Level: 85 Version: Expansion 1.10+ All Resistances +5 10% Extra Gold from Monsters Sharp Large Charm of Greed Large Charm Required Level: 21 Fingerprint: 0x413f3728 Item Level: 88 Version: Expansion 1.10+ +5 to Maximum Damage +25 to Attack Rating 22% Extra Gold from Monsters Sharp Grand Charm of Greed Grand Charm Required Level: 21 Fingerprint: 0x54960fa4 Item Level: 85 Version: Expansion 1.10+ +9 to Maximum Damage +67 to Attack Rating 39% Extra Gold from Monsters
Yesterday I did two runs before the respec, and two runs after the respec. Unfortunately I only saved the results in a text file, which I didn't save when going to bed, but it was mostly in the 17-18.3M range. 18.3xx was definitely a new record anyway, I remember that much. Overall I wasn't super happy with these runs, I think they all included one or two deaths (the record run had one death and one aborted run), which is why I wasn't too bothered with updating the thread. I can do better.
Well, today I did one run, and I didn't die. It didn't go great (two runs where barely any gold piles dropped, below 200k each time), but at this point I'm not sure what I can do except hoping to get lucky. There's quite a bit of variance when hoping to get a perfect 30 minute block. This character gets a 45-50 second run which fills the inventory (910k) maybe 1/25 times, so the upper ceiling is maybe ~32M or soMore realistically, I'd like to break the 20M barrier, which I think can definitely happen with some luck. Today I got 18.4M gold in one try, I'll keep trying for a while. The only equipment upgrade I think I might do at this point is Cham'ing my CoT, my guess is it would probably be worth it, but it's tough to test out. Plus losing GF sucks anyway, so I dunno.
Hopefully next time I'll have a better result to report.

Edit: Did another run. Went really really well overall, up until the ~27 minute mark when I died and then had to abort another run. With a decent ending, this would have been pretty hard to beat probably. That said, I think the character is so good now that this kind of result might be closer to average than I'm used to at the moment.

. Did get a Gul rune out of it too ( and the 5/5 facet ) , which was nice.
