Gold has become one of the most important currencies in the current Path of Exile, influencing everything from sending mappers and shipments to purchasing powerful PoE items through the market system. Whether you want to prepare for high-tier content, upgrade your character quickly, or simply avoid hours of repetitive farming, having a reliable way to generate gold is essential.
In this guide, we’ll break down the three strongest gold-making methods—from efficient self-farm setups to the fastest premium option—along with practical tips that can significantly boost your overall gold income.
Method 1: Harbinger + Beyond + Mirror of Delirium (Best Self-Farming Method)
For players starting a new league or looking to farm gold without spending Divines, this setup is one of the most reliable and profitable options available. By stacking Harbingers, Beyond, and Mirror of Delirium inside high-tier maps, you create extremely dense encounters that translate into some of the highest gold returns achievable through pure self-farming.
Why This Works
Harbingers spawn large waves of monsters. When combined with:
● Beyond
● Mirror of Delirium
● High-tier maps (T16.5 or T17 only)
The result is enormous monster density, and more monsters means significantly more gold.
Do NOT run this in regular T16 maps. Only T16.5 (gray-bordered) or T17 maps provide the gold drop level needed for this strategy to shine.
How to Set Up
Use the POE Planner setup recommended in the original guide:
● Allocate Harbinger wheels
● Add Beyond passives
● Add Delirium passives
● Boost rare monster quantity
● Use rusted/polished scarabs if available
This strategy works best with a moderately strong build—especially one with good AoE and fast clear speed—because the value comes from clearing massive monster packs quickly. When done correctly, you’ll generate a steady flow of rare enemies and consistently high gold amounts without spending Divines on any services. Combined with the general gold-boosting tips at the end of this article, it becomes the strongest zero-investment method for most players.
Method 2: Tormented Spirits + Rogue Exiles (High Risk, High Reward)
Players who enjoy challenging content and have strong builds can use this setup to achieve excellent gold returns.
Atlas Tree Setup
● Allocate all Rogue Exile nodes
● Allocate all Tormented Spirit nodes
● Allocate quantity and explicit modifier nodes
● Use these scarabs:
▶ Titanic Scarab – makes uniques harder but increases rarity & quantity
▶ Tormented Scarab ×3 – up to 3 spirits can possess a rare monster
▶ Regular Tormented Scarab in the final slot
This method floods the map with possessed rare monsters, generating massive loot piles and consistently high gold drops. The abundance of explicit modifiers significantly boosts the value of each encounter, and the strategy synergizes extremely well with fast, clear-speed builds.
But this method isn't easy. Titanic Scarabs greatly increase monster strength, and many builds will be one-shot unless well geared. For this reason, wealthy players often skip this method and purchase Gold Service instead.
Method 3: Gold Service (Fastest and Most Efficient)
If you want gold instantly, nothing beats a Gold Service run. Each session provides over 2 million gold in under 10 minutes, dramatically outperforming any self-farming method.
Gold Service is widely used because it’s extremely fast, offers a guaranteed amount, and avoids hours of grind. Always buy through TFT Discord, never in-game trade channels. TFT regulates prices, bans scammers, and ensures providers deliver. Rates are typically around 7 Divines for 2M gold, depending on the league.
Using the service is simple: search “gold” on TFT, choose a provider in your region, whisper to them, join the party, verify the IGN, and follow the leader. You won’t need to attack—just stay near the aurabot while the carrier clears two maps to reach the guaranteed gold amount.
It's expensive because carriers use multiple Gilded Old-Flames, each costing over 2 Divines, and they burn through more than 10 per session. Still, if you're short on time or need gold immediately, this is the fastest, safest, and most effective option.
Extra Tips to Boost Your Gold Income
1. Use a Gold Flask
Gold flasks have:
● Implicit: Increased Item Rarity
● Explicit: Up to 25% increased effect
With Mageblood, this becomes even stronger. Without Mageblood, use “used when charges reach full.”
2. Look for Gear With “Increased Gold Dropped”
This league includes items such as special boots with:
● “Increased quantity of gold dropped by slain enemies”
Even a small amount adds up quickly in high-density maps.
3. Use King’s March + Bismuth Ore
In Atlas setups focused on gold:
● King’s March can generate various ores
● Bismuth Ore provides a global gold drop buff when activated
● It visually turns the map slightly white, making it easy to spot
This stacks beautifully with Harbinger and Rogue Exile setups.
