While not as popular as [[Magic Find]], gold find can still be quite valuable. Just like Magic Find, Gold Find boosts the amount of gold dropped by monsters and objects of all types. Unlike MF, GF suffers no [[Magic Find Diminishing Returnsfind diminishing returns|diminishing returns]], and since gold drops much more often than items, the quantities of gold obtained with high %GF can be very impressive.
The downside is that gold isn't that useful in the [[End Game]] of Diablo II. Most repairs aren't very expensive and there are seldom any items worth buying, which leaves [[gambling]] as the only real [[gold sink]]. Gambling can be rewarding, but it takes a long time and has very low odds to produce any quality Elite gear, plus it can't provide any [[runes]] or items useful for [[runewords]], which is why most players place "obtaining gold" fairly low on their to-do list.
