A 900% Increase? I Tried the Gold Glyph Myself

In Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, you'll naturally run low on gold as you repeatedly temper and masterwork your gear. Players use various methods to farm gold, such as selling Legendary Glyphs or repeatedly running the Gold Vault dungeon. As gold has become increasingly important, the 'Gold Find +900%' glyph has become a hot topic among the community.

The 'Gold Find +900%' (hereafter 'Gold Increase') option, which appears with a low probability on Legendary Glyphs, is a class-agnostic affix that can drop on Torment difficulty or lower, or be obtained through crafting on Torment tiers. To activate the effect, you must equip it alongside a 'Skilled Technique' set amulet. I’d like to share how to obtain this glyph and my personal experience using it.

How to Obtain the Gold Increase Glyph and Amulet

To obtain the Gold Increase glyph, you must collect as many Legendary Glyphs as possible and use the 'Convert 3 to 1' function in Horadric Cube. Since this requires giving up the easiest way to get gold—selling Legendary Glyphs—I recommend attempting this only after you've reached higher Torment tiers where farming Legendary Glyphs is more efficient.

The 'Skilled Technique' set amulet required to activate the Gold Increase option does not appear through crafting on Torment difficulty or higher. However, the acquisition method is the same: collect any three set amulets and use the 'Convert 3 to 1' function in the Horadric Cube on Torment difficulty or lower to receive a random class-agnostic set amulet. This is how you can obtain the Skilled Technique set amulet.

How efficient is the Gold Glyph in practice?

The Gold Increase option is phrased in a counter-intuitive way, stating it increases the 'probability' of finding gold by 900% rather than the amount itself. I tested this by running Nightmare Dungeons with the Gold Vault affix on Torment 10 difficulty to compare the results.

While there was significant variance per run, I confirmed a more than threefold difference before and after equipping the Gold Increase glyph. Clearing a Gold Vault dungeon without the glyph yielded about 150 million to 200 million gold per run (excluding bonus rewards), while after equipping the glyph, I averaged between 600 million and 700 million gold. Please take these figures as a rough estimate, as results can vary based on dungeon affixes and other factors.

Furthermore, the Gold Increase option applies to all additional rewards, such as the Butcher or War Spoils obtained via War Planning points, leading to a noticeable boost in gold income once you have the glyph. The highest amount I earned in a single run was around 1.3 billion gold, and I expect it could exceed 2 billion if you encounter a Treasure Goblin, the Butcher, and events in the same run.

However, the drop rate for both the Gold Increase glyph and the Skilled Technique set amulet is extremely low. Since gold is required in massive quantities for gear crafting, and these items are hard to come by, they are often traded at high prices among players. It can also be frustrating that you have to stop selling Legendary Glyphs—the easiest early-game gold source—to pursue this setup.

Additionally, because you must equip the Skilled Technique set amulet, you lose the benefits of your class-specific set amulet, which results in a drop in power. I recommend attempting to craft the Gold Increase glyph only when your character is strong enough to clear Torment 10 Nightmare Dungeons comfortably without your class set amulet.
