Tip: How to Save Your Gold When Dying in Diablo 2: Resurrected

Recommended Posts

As you get deeper and deeper into the D2R difficulties you'll be needing a lot of gold, whether it's to gamble for some great items or, let's face it, much more likely for repairs. The original game actually predicted we'd be smart-asses and store our gold in the stash, so you actually lose stashed gold on death as well, but with D2R there's a place you can put the gold where it won't be removed!

And it's also the stash. Ok that was a little anti-climactic for my tastes but still - you can store gold in the SHARED stashes and the game will not remove it upon death!

Yes yes, I'm poor, no need to rub it in. But, with the 2.5 million gold limit on each stash tab, it shouldn't be too hard to gather up some coin to go and throw it at Gheed! Hopefully this was a helpful tip and will prevent too much gold loss in the future.

Little bit more on how the death toll actually works:

Quote

If you are killed, your character will lose a percentage of the total gold both carried and stored in the Stash. This percentage is equal to your character’s level but will not exceed 20%. After this ‘death penalty’ is deducted, the remaining gold your character was carrying falls to the ground in a pile. If the penalty exceeds the amount of gold you were carrying, the remainder of the penalty is deducted from your Stash.

So even if your shared stashes end up capped out, its still better to deposit carried gold in the main stash just in case you die in a really bad spot, or unintentionally leave your current game.

There is another way to preserve your gold as well, though a bit riskier. Any gold dropped on the ground in camp isn't carried or in your stash, and won't be touched by the death toll. However it runs the risk of being lost to disconnect or thievery from an unsavory party member.

      Blizzard have detailed everything about the sixth ladder season of D2:R, with the new addition coming on the 22nd! We have regional launch times, the different modes, and an explanation on what happens to shared stash items for seasonal character after it ends, so let's take a look.
      Season 6 (Source)
      The lords of Hell await your return, traveler.
      Countless demons have met their timely demise at the end of your weapon, yet their onslaught doesn’t relent. Sanctuary needs its savior! Return on February 22 to wreak havoc among the Burning Hells’ ranks in Ladder Season 6!
      Ladder Season 6
      Our previous Ladder Seasons for Diablo II: Resurrected have showed just how adept adventurers were at saving Sanctuary, racing to be the first to cement their names on the Leaderboard, while striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic adversaries in the process.
      Ladder Season 6 will usher in a fresh opportunity for brave adventurers to race to Level 99 and amass powerful loot along the way.
      Ladder Season 6 Launch Timing:
      North America February 22, 05:00 p.m. PST
      Europe February 22, 02:00 p.m. CET
      Asia February 23, 10:00 a.m. KST
      As with previous seasons, Ladder Season 6 will feature different modes:
      Version Description Pre-Expansion Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.

      Once Ladder Season 5 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 4 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 6 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 5. When Ladder Season 6 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 6 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
      May your Ladder race be filled with fiends to eviscerate and bountiful loot.

      From December 12 through January 3, the 22 Nights of Terror holiday event will be available in Diablo II: Resurrected.
      (Source)
      The air stirs with whimsey, perhaps even magic, adventurer.
      However subtle, a joyous invocation permeates Sanctuary, casting a ray of holiday celebration upon its inhabitants. . . or is this demonic trickery? This magic from beyond is not cause for a ceasefire in the unremitting conflict between demon and mortal, but its nuances can still be felt, disturbances are surely lurking about. Seeing this holiday miracle through to the end relies on you—sleigh your way through 22 Nights of Terror during the Diablo II: Resurrected holiday event.
      Experience Daily Demonic Trickery
      The magic constantly shifts day by day but remains pervasive in nature—even Sanctuary’s most esteemed scribes are unable to predict what abnormalities the future might hold.
      From December 12, 11:00 a.m.–January 3, 11:00 a.m. PST the fabric of Sanctuary will be altered every 24 hours, revealing a new gameplay modifier via the in-game Message of the Day that will last for the next 24 hours. The 22 Nights of Terror holiday event can be enjoyed in all online game modes except for Classic Diablo II.
      Powerful loot, a dash of terror, and a new surprise to experience each day awaits you in Sanctuary this holiday season. Go forth in glory!
      Happy holidays!
