Best way to accumulate wealth and which build

Hey all, I'm an old school returning player, managed to get myself to a perfect (or so ) hammerdin, but as I played it in the old days I kinda got bored of it, now i did a switch to a singer barb to reduce the amount of gear change i need to do and enable horking, still not sure about what I think about it, what do you find is the best way to accumulate Wealth and with which build?
Would love your input on how to best accumulate Wealth, with which build and also how many hours a day/week you put it.

I've added a link here to the cash count thread, I'm curious to see how much Wealth everyone have, how they have made it, and with how many hours of work

Having some luck with item rolls can make you pretty rich. I once rolled a 15ed MP Enigma with 775 defense and sold it for 24 Jah.

But the real deal is consistent trading for me. For over 2 years I bought Hels for Ists and sold them for Jahs. About 7 Ist per 32 Hel, sold in bulk for a Jah which was 11-12 Ist back then. I did this at least 150 times and made over 60 Jah with it.

Then there are the extremely rare but very lucrative deals. Once I bought a 6-40 Ceremonial Javelin for just 10 Jah and sold it for 30 Jah. That was pre-RotW, of course.

Gold find barb. People without Gold find farm trav since drops can be very good there. Add massive amounts of Gold to the mix and you can gamble stuff for even more d2 Wealth. You're double-dipping, and the rewards are sweet.

IMO rings are the best thing to gamble. Almost everyone needs at least one gg rare ring, yet nobody's ever trading them. Whether it's physical damage or caster based, any good set of rolls will have value. There's also a high demand for dual leech rings, and physical damage rings with fcr. So there are many valuable combos.

Amulets are a poor bet, physical damage dealers are usually going to want highlord's and casters will usually want a 2/15+ craft. Plus you need to be level 95+ to guarantee that every rare amulet you gamble can have +2 class skills. At best the nice ones you gamble will be seen as a placeholder until a 2/15+ craft, so people won't trade much for them.

Circlets and coronets are much more expensive, and no matter how godly, a zon / barb circ isn't gonna have much demand / value. For the classes that do use circs, they almost invariably must have 20fcr to offer something that Shako doesn't. Even then, a plain 2/20 isn't worth much. The really good ones have 2os, which for some reason doesn't seem to roll very often.

I'm SP offline, haven't been on the realms in many years. I've heard there are no trading games now, which is sad. I remember there was never anyone trading rare rings in trade games. I'd join, put my rings in the window, and just wait. Sometimes 5 minutes would pass, and usually "How much for <ring name>?" or at a minimum, "Dang those are nice!" It was pretty neat being the guy with the cool stuff no one else had. Business was quite good.
