[Suggestion] Gold Find Jewelry – Reimagining Gold Grinding for PoE2
|
For the next Content Patch 0.4.0, I’d like to propose a feature that blends nostalgia with strategic depth: Gold Find Jewelry, modeled after the classic D2 mechanic. This change would have a synergy with gold sinks such as vendors, trading and gambling as these systems use gold, GF gear becomes a tactical choice as you sacrifice combat power for gold grinding.
💰 Why Gold Find Jewelry? Gold Find gear in D2 wasn’t just a novelty—it created an entire subculture of farming, trading, and build optimization. Rings and amulets with +% Gold Find added a layer of economic strategy that rewarded players for investing in non-combat efficiency. In PoE2, this opens up exciting possibilities and encourage niche builds focused on gold generation. 🔄 How It Could Work in PoE2 Affix Pool Expansion — Introduce Gold Find as a suffix on rings and amulets. Tiered values (e.g., 5–50%) could scale with item level and rarity. 🧠 Strategic Depth, Not Power Creep This isn’t about power — it’s about player agency. Gold Find gear would be a tradeoff: less DPS, more economic return. It invites players to make meaningful choices about how they engage with loot. 🕰️ Nod to ARPG Nostalgia D2’s Gold Find mechanics created memorable farming loops — Travincal runs, gold-stacked mercs, and the thrill of seeing large gold piles. PoE2 has the systems in place to modernize this mechanic. 🔄 Optional, Not Mandatory Gold Find Jewelry wouldn’t be meta-defining—it would be opt-in flavor for players who enjoy economy playstyles, vendor flipping, or gold-based wealth.

I play and will always play SSF so i'm not very aware of trade price regarding gold.
If it get higher with time or if somehow at some point it replace orb as currencies (witsh i higly doubt could happen) maybe it would have a use. Atm i dont know if it would be very usefull. There is already the special runes and essence for it and i dont think many people use them. I'm not too fan of flipping in game economy personaly, i think it kinda ruin the economy more than anything. But with or without a ring it'll happen anyway. Now overall i wouldnt be against the idea also, just not sure thoose rings would have much success. But why not. Just adding new items that wont have much use usaly is a waste of time for the devs or another item people would discard in the item drop pool. Overall i like variety anyway. Even as SSF i try to stack gold for the gamba box =) SSF player
