[Suggestion] New Citrine Amulet: Grind Gold for Gambling, Crafting & Trading

For Patch 0.4.0, I urge GGG to add a new common amulet that grants a modest boost to gold find. During campaign, this would give players the ability to grind for more gold to support the big 3: Gambling, Crafting and Trading. Citrine was chosen as it's known as the "Merchant Stone."

Citrine Amulet
Rarity: Common
Requires: Level 15
Implicit Modifier: (15-25)% Increased Quantity of Gold Dropped by Slain Enemies

Gold find would also help SSF characters buy upgrades at the vendor or help cover the cost of respecs as a new player. In the end, Gold find is a fun mechanic in D2 and should be brought over to PoE2.

Hopefully Jonathan and company will consider for Patch 0.4.0.

I see many people complain that the gold cost for trading is very high and creates too much friction, yet does not support adding gold find to the game? Doesn't make sense to me.

The friction is the point. This was GGG's way of allowing us to have Currency Exchange and Asynchronous Trade. If you want more gold, engage in content that rewards more of it. There's even a unique map you can find called Castaway that literally gives hundreds of thousands of gold per run.

Also, what are people doing that gold is such an issue for them? I'm sitting on 5 million right now.

Yes, but that is endgame. I'm talking more about when you are playing through the campaign and could use more gold, a GF amulet would be a nice addition to grind for gold.

The problem with that, then, is that it would be busted in endgame.

The only way I see this working is that it can only be found in act 1, meaning it'll always have terrible stat scaling, but I don't see GGG ever adding items that exist for one part of the game.

I think we're overreacting. This GF amulet I'm proposing is a weaker version to the one found in D2 and worked perfectly fine there. It's not really all that powerful to be honest, just a nice QoL feature.

IMHO Gambling in this game is a huge mistake. It weakens every other system when users are just hoarding gold to gamble and the fact that its worthwhile shows how badly crafting is broken.

What specifically is wrong with gambling? Gambling is a great mechanic in D2, can be a great mechanic in PoE2 as well. May just need some tuning is all.

I so sick of the gold find stat, I don't wanna see it anymore, at least they removed the gold shrine...it was really bad, if you want more gold just sell everything you take.
