Ahhhh! Get my gun! It’s a money making scheme! I recently read a discussion at DiabloFans and it sounded really familiar to a few I’ve seen elsewhere. The general attitude is that making real money or even talking about making real money in Diablo 3 is taboo. You’re a social misfit if you mention making […]

Black Mushrooms, Liquid Rainbows and Gibbering Gemstones
If you haven’t realized already, I’ve been distracted by a little thing called Mists of Pandaria. It turns out they released the beta a bit prematurely in an attempt to entertain soon to be Diablo 3 players like myself before Diablo 3 comes out. It worked. As I bring my attention back to Diablo 3 […]
Using your Stash – Cost to Upgrade
The Diablo 3 stash system is similar to an Artisan because you share it on all of your account’s characters. You throw items in there and they are accessible when you load up the auction house and in game from other players. You also upgrade the stash through various levels to expand its capacity. This […]
Will “Chinese Farmers” Ruin Diablo 3?
One of the big questions I’ve seen pop up on forums all over is whether or not farmers will ruin Diablo 3. The fear is well founded, people are often afraid of what they don’t understand and this definitely applies here. But first, keep in mind that when I say ‘farmer’ in this article I […]

Witch Doctor Farming Build
The Witch Doctor is an interesting class. It doesn’t match any existing stereotypical class role. It comes closest to the necromancer but is still significantly different. Because of this, and because the beta only allows us to get to level 13 this is the best I could come up for a Witch Doctor Farming Build. […]
Gem Combine Prices – Patch 15
The gold sinks in Jewelcrafting just got a whole lot more ridiculous. Thanks to commenter Eagle32 and DiabloNut I’ve got my hands on Patch 15′s gem crafting prices. If you remember my gem calculator (it’s now updated!) from last month the cost of combining each tier of gems (3 Chipped -> 1 Flawed) always cost […]
ALERT: Blizzard Cancels Diablo 3 Release
Early this morning Blizzard made a press release announcing that they will not be releasing Diablo 3 on May 15th. In this unprecedented, shocking and completely unexpected announcement, Blizzard cited staff drama among programmers, art directors and management alike along with systemic issues with the auction house and legal implications of their real-money auction house.
