The Fortune Shrine is an obvious boost to farming in Diablo 3 as you will get a 2 minute buff that increases the amount of gold you will find from all sources by 25% and the Fortune Shrine also increases your Magic Find skill by 25%. This 25% buff is additive and not multiplicative, so if you have 150% magic find, the new total would be 175% with the Fortune Shrine buff. It is not an extra 25 percent of your current magic find level.
The Frenzied Shrine also grants another great buff for farming in Diablo 3. A 25% increased attack speed may even be the better buff between the Frenzied and Fortune Shrines. While the +25% Magic Find and Gold Find increase is a nice buff, you probably will get better results from the 25% increased attack speed. Getting a 25% attack speed buff, greatly increases your ability to quickly kill creatures and will help you rack up far more kills during the 2 minute duration of the buff. this one is great against the Treasure Goblin Clan as well, and greatly increases the odds that you can kill them before they jump through their safety portal.

Shrine Buffs In Diablo 3 For Farming
While wandering through the dungeons and wilderness areas of Diablo 3, you will encounter 4 types of shrines. Each of the shrines in Diablo 3 offer a specific character buff that lasts for only two minutes, so you want to use each of the shrines wisely. There are a total of 4 different shrines that can spawn anywhere in the game. Of the 4 shrines there are 2 that give the better benefits to farming characters in Diablo 3.
The 4 Diablo 3 Shrines and Effects
- Blessed Shrine - Damage taken is reduced by 25% for 2 minutes.
- Enlightened Shrine - Gives a 25% bonus to experience for 2 minutes. NOTE: The Enlightened shrine stops spawning in games where all players and followers are maximum level.
- Fortune Shrine - Adds an extra 25% Magic Find and Gold Find for 2 minutes.
- Frenzied Shrine - Increases attack speed by 25% for 2 minutes.
The Best Shrine Buffs For Farming
Of the 4 various types of shrines in Diablo 3, two of them provide the best benefits for farming gold and items: the Fortune Shrine and the Frenzied Shrine. The Enlightened Shrine is great for leveling characters, but provides no benefit for a Diablo 3 farming character. Similarly, the Blessed Shrine will help reduce your damage taken and help you stay alive, but has no direct effect on your killing speed or the items that your creature kills will drop. The 2 clear winners here for farming characters are the Fortune Shrine and the Frenzied Shrines.The Fortune Shrine is an obvious boost to farming in Diablo 3 as you will get a 2 minute buff that increases the amount of gold you will find from all sources by 25% and the Fortune Shrine also increases your Magic Find skill by 25%.

It is not an extra 25 percent of your current magic find level.
The Frenzied Shrine also grants another great buff for farming in Diablo 3. A 25% increased attack speed may even be the better buff between the Frenzied and Fortune Shrines.

Tips For Better Shrine Buff Use
- The Shrines in Diablo 3 work during both solo and cooperative play sessions. Be sure to notify your party members in co-op, when you find a shrine, because each character that is near the shrine will receive the buff. Don't waste a shrine on just yourself in a co-op group.
- Don't waste time looting until your buff is gone. If you are looting during the buff's short 2 minute duration, then you aren't using the buff wisely. Go back and loot everything once the duration of the shrine's buff expires. Of course, if you have Demon Hunter ferrets, they will loot the gold for you.
- You don't have to get the buff as soon as you find the shrine. Wait until you find an area that is jam packed full of creatures, then grab the shrine's buff and get to killing. The more creatures that are packed closer together, means more kills while under the duration of the buff.
- If using the experience shrine buff or the magic / gold find buff, weaken all of the creatures with a AoE ability first. Once most creatures are near death, then grab the shrine buff and finish them off. This allows you to quickly gain the benefits from a large group of nearly dead creatures and increases the overall number of possible kills while under the buff's effects.
- Don't waste the buffs on boss kills. Most of the boss battles take a while to complete and odds are the buff will be gone long before the boss dies. Worse yet, when your character dies, the buff is also removed. So don't waste the shrine effects in areas where you are having trouble staying alive, unless it is the damage reduction shrine, which may just be the bonus damage prevention you need to get over the hump.
