The only way I could get good loot in D:OS 1 was by buying thousands of empty potion bottles and going to a poison barrel and spending hours filling them all up one by one and selling them, then leaving my game on literally all day long so that I could check stores every hour and buy the equipment that was actually good. And that's obviously not how the game is intended to be played.
I have found no good loot in D:OS 2 so far. Also, I have no money, since you're almost guaranteed to get caught if you steal...
