Finding Cheap Gear on the Auction House

After repeated resets in the beta I had to level and gear up more characters than I would have liked to. I noticed one trick that helped me gear the characters up and still keep most of my gold. I didn’t get any screen shots, but I guarantee this same phenomenon will exist and so […]

Diablo 3 Final Preparation

Looking back at my days of playing and making gold in World of Warcraft there were a few very notable events that stick out in my mind. One that I remember was Patch 3.0.2. It was patch day, Tuesday, and I had saved up a bunch of herbs and I went straight to milling and […]

Diablo 3 Farming

In the beta with just 4 quests and around an hour of playtime we were able to find, test and master over a half dozen different ways to farm in Diablo 3. These methods give us more gold per hour and per minute than doing anything else in game, other than possibly playing the auction […]

Money Making Schemes in Diablo 3

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 […]

Using Crafting to Make Gold

Crafting to make gold is going to be a potential gold maker for players in Diablo 3, especially early in the game. Many players have mentioned to me that they are planning to focus on either their Jeweler or Blacksmith to see what they can make early on. We don’t have a lot to go […]

Farming Den of the Fallen

A month ago I wrote a little about farming the Den of the Fallen in the Weeping Hallow (this is in the second or third quest in the beta). I never published it because it just wasn’t a competitive way of farming subtle essence, at least not compared to the ways that others were sharing […]

May 15th – Diablo III Official Release Date

This morning Blizzard finally announced the May 15th release date for Diablo III. This gives us exactly until the servers go live. Between now and then you can prepurchase the standard edition at battle.net, download the encrypted client and then be ready as soon as the servers go live.

Should you Farm in D3?

The other day a reader commented and asked if it would even be worth it to use these farming methods or if it would just be more valuable to progress through the game normally. The importance of discovering these methods is not to reuse them exactly in the live version of Diablo 3 or even […]

Farming Manglemaw – 100+ Subtle Essence / hr + 190 gold/minute

Thanks to a follower of Diablo 3 Artisans, DonReader, I’ve got the fastest way to farm gold and magic items in the Diablo 3 beta. This one is really good. How do I know it’s the fastest? Not only does it produce over 100 Subtle Essence PER HOUR but you will also find 190 gold […]

Farming Subtle Essence – Patch 14 – Captain Daltyn

I’ve really tested 4-5 different methods to farming in the beta. There’s the crypts farming which everyone raves about for which I haven’t done a video on yet. There’s farming Captain Daltyn, Mira Eamon and Royal Crypts. The best one I found in Patch 13 was Captain Daltyn. With the Demon Hunter you can get […]
