You need to get a handle on your gold taps (where's it coming from and in what volume), and then work out your gold sinks (where it goes and in what volume).

In a typical hack-n-slash, the gold comes primarily from mobiles. There may be incidental gold from quest rewards as well.

There's an array of things to spend the gold on, but I think something that's constant like armor/weapon repair and spell reagents are the right way to - as long as it's not extreme (i.e., don't destroy an item due to lack of repair, but make it less effective, or don't make spells impossible without the reagents but rather make them more powerful with reagent boosters).

The one time prestige expenditures like a room or customized equipment are ok, but eventually everyone gets these and they're no longer prestigous.
