edited with correct numbers lol
I am curious if anyone else has set out to farm an arbitrary amount of gold in a season? I am talking about your gold in your inventory, not just your number farmed throughout the season. What is the most you have saved up in your inventory??? I know its useless as long as you have enough to empower rifts, but I did it as a challenge to myself for fun. Small arbitrary goals help me keep interest in the paragon grind. I am almost at my first goal of 100 billion, considering going for 1 trillion. I use a monk with approx 53k % gold find on it, basically spend all my shards on a 31 WD rolling rings and build up puzzle rings then clear them. I also use my gold find build when doing T16s.
Somewhat of a downside is that you don’t want to empower rifts so you only get 4 chances at a leg gem upgrade, but this season after your initial gems there really isnt as much need to power up a bunch of gems to augment so I figured now is the time to try it.
Really just curious if anyone else has set out for any goals like this.

100 billion or so I guess is the most I’ve had after a season. It really doesn’t serve any purpose and I’ve never gone out of my way to collect it.
Running puzzle rings in HC clan whenever someone posted they needed a carry I made over 150 billion gold one season.
Please believe me that running 120+ GR’S will wipe out 150 billion in less than 3 weeks.
Gold comes easy and is spent fast.
There is never enough unless you don’t empower GR’s.

Empowering grift 120 is 149 million. That’s over a thousand grifts empowered with 150 billion, and that’s ignoring any additional gold you would get from the grifts themselves and what you would get from farming 1000+ keys.
I certainly don’t play that much in a season, let alone in less than three weeks.

I made a gold find WD when mundunugundugudngu’s was top build. Got around 100 billion, then got bored. Hope you can hit the trillion mark!
Make sure you are using avarice and boon of the hoarder on those rifts. You can net close to a billion per rift. If you are running your gold find fast enough, use the build for split bounties too. The gold will add up as you grind bounties.
If you have extra mats, upgrade rare rings. You will get a lot of puzzles and maybe even a compass rose that doesn’t suck. Make sure you run the puzzles in 4 man group, you do get extra gold find for a full game. On top of that, a lot of the players that join usually throw in their puzzles that they have, so you get 2 or more runs for your money.

Let’s assume those GR120s take 5 minutes each. That’s slow for this season, with the OP Monk, and like molasses for groups but let’s go with that. So, 1000 runs of those would be 5000 minutes. That’s 83.333 hours which, in three weeks, equates to around 28 hours a week, or 4 hours a day. If it took an entire 3 month season, that’s 83.333 hours in 13 weeks which equates to 6.4 hours a week, or 55 minutes a day.

With normal rifts for the keys it’s about an hour a day on average. Very few seasons I’ve averaged that or more for the duration, twice in fact, let alone 30 hours a week.
321 billion and counting. Not really something that matters or interested in actually trying to farm. This is just passive and I only empower when Im in a meta group and we are not fishing. I can tell you right now there are people with close to a trillion right now.
Two things I will never do is run puzzle rings and make a gold farm set. Both of these things are extremely inefficient for farming paragon. Now if they gave us something
to actually spend the gold on that might change.
Try reading my post slowly…I stated 120+ GR’s, which means minimum 120 GR’s and anything above to GR 150.
Playing with a serious HC clan is just that… gold flies through our fingers in large amounts.
However, this season I’m taking it easy and only have 30 billion gold at this point.
Not pushing the 120+.

Yeah, which last I checked included 120:s, so up to 1006 grifts + however many you would get from the gold from the first 1006 rifts.
And 150:s cost 363 million, so at worst that’s still 400+ empowered grifts, and I sincerely doubt many empower 150:s to level gems from scratch.

Don’t understand you’re posts on this subject.
It all comes down to doing something and experiencing it or just sitting by and talking about it.
Which are you?
The clan I’m in runs 120+ GR’s around the clock.
There’s no shame in being casual.
This season I’m less than casual so I know both sides of this game.

You stated “running 120+ GR’S will wipe out 150 billion in less than 3 weeks.”
I’m saying that might be true, but it’s by no frikkin means a factual statement across the board as you presented it. If you had said “can”, sure, I wouldn’t argue, but “will”, that’s just not true at all.
Exactly where have I given the slightest hint of shame?

I am creeping up on 100 billion just with passive income from farming keys.
I have been intentionally not empowering since I don’t need augment gems. 500+ billion by the end of the season will just happen for me. No effort needed.
Though I do like seeing the number go up, no matter how useless.

I think the most I had was around 5 billion (the last time double bounties was available.) I don’t play much once I have completed the season so even that paltry amount is significant as I currently barely have 20% of that, and only because I just finished an Ancient Vault on T16 while wearing my gold junk, mainly because I wanted to get some gold to empower rifts as I like to get every legendary gem to 50, even the ones I know I won’t really use, just in case I decide to make a new character.
think I am at 125 billion atm, it stacks up fast if not doing Empowered GR… been using hoarder gem and avarice ring since day 1 
Never noticed it, perhaps that is why I only have a few billion 
But I play more to get gear than for gold, which is kinda useless to me… Dont even empower that much since I dont need the gems…
I’ve got around 15 billion on my seasonal heroes. That’s just incidental from using a Boon of the Hoarder when running rifts or bounties though and, this season, a lot less requirement for empowering GRs due to the ease with which 625 stat augments are obtained by using soul shards rather than legendary gems. Non-seasonal I think I’ve got over half a trillion.

If you have a lot of gold then you are just sitting on a big pile of levels your gems didn’t get.
