Quite right. It doesn't matter if you kill mobs that drop 3x as much gold if it's being split 6 or even 8 ways. Want gold? Find the highest and/or most mobs you can take SOLO.

Looks like I have to goto the Fissure/UW with a bad group and die before getting any worthwhile drops. :/

Hall of heroes has decent drops.

I've always found that praying to Grenth seems to help my drops.

Is this a personal thing, or has anyone else tried this?

Um you do know that you can "buy" runes to unlock for PvP. The latest trend I've seen is people getting the gold armor and selling them unid. Go figure its like un'id uniques in D2. I still want to know how people are racking in 5k in a run, I barely make enough to cloth my stupid characters in 1.5k armor with minor runes, can't even dent the cost for a sigil much less the cost of a superior rune.

5k is chump change. Just advance some more and you'll figure out places to get loot and probably naturally gain enough.

Ugh, did they nerf gold armors or something? Since the last patch I've had about 6 gold armors drop, most from level 18+ monsters, and 2 of them had no rune, and the other 4 were all minors! Even a gold armor from a Avicara boss in Mineral Springs, MINERAL SPRINGS, gave me a minor vigor...

Gold armor should not be able to give minors, majors at the least I'd say >=0

At least you get minor runes. The past 4 gold armors I've gotten came up as blanks and didn't even salvage for rare material

. As far as soloing goes I know that henchies take drops and cash so I go it alone and have been for a while. However I'm reading about people going 5k is chump change, I can get 100k in two days without even trying. And I really want to know where your farming. Please don't say Riverside, Sanctum Cay or the Gates of Kryta because I've tried it repeatedly and I'm not pulling more then 5k to 6k an hour.

And for further reference I'm not that far back in the game, I'm actually using a build very similar to JaGe and I've made my way up to the citadel and mineral springs as well as have both the elites from that area.
