When farming for Gold and valuable components of Diablo 2 Resurrected, there is nothing more important than Gold Find (x% Extra Gold from Monsters), also called "GF", and Magic Find (x% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items), also called "MF". Generally speaking, the greater you have of every Stat, the greater. For both Stats, there are a variety of specialized builds.
Mechanics
Gold Find and Magic Find are summed up in the Mercenary and also the Character whenever the Mercenary deals the ultimate blow to some monster. This includes kills carried out by Thorns, Iron Maiden, and Spirit of Barbs.
When the Character deals the killing blow to monsters, just the Magic Find directly equipped onto it counts for that drop calculation.
The Stats don't apply to kills produced by monsters impacted by Mind Blast, Conversion, Confusion, or Attract.
They also don't affect monsters that die to Iron Maiden while attacking a Bone Wall, or Bone Prison.

Extra Gold from Monsters (Gold Find)
Increases the Gold value dropped by a portion based on the determined drop value:
E.g. The game determines a drop of 100 Gold. The Character has 100% Extra Gold from Monsters, so 200 Gold is dropped instead.
Better Chance to Find Magic Items (Magic Find)
Increases the opportunity for an item to decrease in a higher Quality (Magic, Rare, Set, Unique) rather than a Base Item. It also means that the opportunity of finding lower Quality items is reduced.
