Diablo – How to donate gold in Diablo 3

Diablo III's regions affect a number of things in game:

• Your selected region affects which server farm you connect to. The Americas region's servers are located in the USA, Europe's are (obviously) in Europe, and Asia's servers are in Korea. Australian and NZ players will be assigned to the The Americas region by default, and hence the USA server farm. There are no South-East Asian (Singapore) servers for Diablo III.

• The Real Money Auction House (RMAH) is region locked - the only RMAHs you have access to are those for the region your Country of Residence resides in. However, you may still have access to multiple RMAHs, as RMAHs are also divided by currency. This page lists the RMAHs you can have access to depending upon your Country of Residence. To use Australia as the example, the USD RMAH will have more items because of the US's larger player population, but the AUD RMAH will not have any currency conversion fees (source). These currency-based RMAHs are separate, i.e. an item on the USD RMAH will not appear on any other currency's RMAH, even those in the same region.

• The Gold Auction House is not locked within a region, but is region-specific, i.e. the European Gold Auction House cannot be accessed to provide items for characters in the Americas region.

• Players and items cannot be transferred across regions. Any item you buy on a RMAH or Gold Auction house cannot be transferred to a character in a different region.

Note that which version of the game you buy does not affect which region you're assigned to at all, i.e. buying a UK version of the game and playing in the USA or Australia will not mandate or even default to the Europe region. The default region selection is based off your Country of Residence in your Battle.Net account's settings.

As of patch 1.0.4 the maximum gold find is now capped at 300%. The only exception is Nephalem Valor which can bring the total Gold Find to 375%.

Pre patch information:

According to datamining sites (example) the relevant item affixes are:

• Amulet: Prosperous: Chance to Find Gold Increases by 41-50%
• Ring/Armor/Offhand: Prosperous: Chance to Find Gold Increases by 21-25%

So, here is a try at the most possible gold find.

• Amulet slot: 50%
• All other slots except weapon: 11 * 25% = 275% (head, shoulders, torso, wrists, hands, waist, legs, feet, 2x rings, offhand)
• Helmet gem slot: 31% (Radiant Star Emerald)
• Follower amulet slot: 50% * 20% follower bonus ratio = 10%
• Follower ring and offhand slots: 3 * 25% * 20% follower bonus ratio = 15%
• Nephalem Valor: 75%
• Shrine of Fortune: 25%
• Demon Hunter Ferret Companion: 10%

Total: 491%

There may be some legendaries with increased gold find, so more than this may be possible. However this is not at all realistic, because 1) it would take ages to find perfect "Prosperous" items for all these slots, and 2) your gear would likely be decidedly suboptimal for your class if all you sought was Prosperous items.

Overall, to maximize profit, I think you would do better optimizing for your class's DPS stats, and adding in as much gold find and magic find as you can without hurting your kill rate or survivability.
