How to: Secret Cow Level in Diablo 3

If I had a penny for every e-mail, instant message and text message with people asking me: “how do I get to the secret cow level” I’d be… well I wouldn’t be rich, but I’d have some pennies. In Diablo 2 the cow level was used by some players to gather gems and to just have fun. In Diablo 3 we don’t have much information yet how to get to the cow level but we’re pretty damn certain it exists. » Read more…

Don’t Combine Gems

If you haven’t noticed already the prices of gems have already crashed. They are more valuable in their low-quality form than their high quality form, and anyone who is combining gems is losing money big time. » Read more…

Best Class in Diablo 3

Now that Diablo 3 has been live for about 12 hours we have a better idea of how the classes break down past level 20. Even though the servers have only stayed up about 8-9 hours most semi-hardcore players are sitting at level 20-25 and they might even begin to reroll. If you haven’t picked your class yet you might enjoy these considerations: » Read more…

Making Gold with Chipped Gems

As promised, here is a tested and proven way to make gold right now in game. This gold will turn into real money when Blizzard gets their shit together and enables the RMAH. The markets are young and people don’t really know what’s going on. Here is how it works: » Read more…

Error 37 – The servers are busy at this time

If you participated in the “launch event” I’m sure you’re already familiar with Error 37. As I write this very few people are able to create a character and the game has been “live” for over an hour. Blizzard’s servers simply were not able to handle the 12:01 PDT launch time and I can’t imagine it getting much better over the next 24 hours. While there are certainly a massive number of people trying to login now, there will be even more people throughout the day who sit down and try to enjoy their copy of Diablo III.

How to Level Jewelcrafting

There are only 4 full days left before the release and one of the big questions you should be asking yourself are: what are you going to do with your gold, are you going to level jewelcrafting, are you going to level blacksmithing or are you going to gear up your character? Previously we talked about how we should sell our gold asap for real-money. This is no longer an option since the RMAH will not be available for at least a week after launch. I suspect the market will still be pretty crazy the day the RMAH goes live, and if it actually works properly selling your gold will still be a great option, but I wouldn’t count on it. We’re going to want to invest in our characters for the first week until the RMAH goes live and I think Jewelcrafting might be a worthy candidate for doing so. » Read more…

What’s the Best Class in Diablo 3?

Which Class?A friend of mine asked me for the inside scoop tonight, “what’s the best class?” or “which class should I play?” I guess after playing the beta for 6 months I should have an idea? Right? Well, no. Blizzard’s goal has always been to balance the classes and provide for a unique play style for each one. Even though people know this, they still want to know which one is the best. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good answer for these poeple. But here are some ideas that might help you decide which class to play. » Read more…
