Posted by Meldora 0 comments

Blizzard announced it will be adjusting the required gold and requires Pages to level Blacksmithing. If you’re considering power leveling your Blacksmith tomorrow, you have been warned. It currently costs about 645,000 gold to level your Blacksmith, which is probably quite a bit more than the average player earns from level 1 to 60. That […]

Launch is about 8 hours away, hopefully you’re sleeping getting a good rest before the servers open up and the Skeleton King gets pummeled by over a million first-time players. Here’s a list of mental notes I have sitting at my side that I think will be beneficial

Leveling Blacksmithing

Posted by Meldora 0 comments

Blacksmithing has gone through a wide array of changes since I started playing the beta last year. It started out among 2 other artisans, the mystic and the jeweler. The mystic was removed and that left only Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting. Jewelcrafting isn’t really a crafting profession, since it really just offers the ability to combine […]

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 […]

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

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 […]

I realize it’s still the beta, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity to take a look around and take note of what’s going on. Thursday Blizzard released patch 14. Among the changes included tweaks to the cost of vendor items, sell value of items, drop rate of gold, cost to craft at Blacksmith […]

Patch 14 – Changes to Artisans & Farming

Posted by Meldora 0 comments

Today, Blizzard has been working on pushing out their latest patch, Patch 14. From the patch notes, nothing really jumps out. Players seem most excited about the addition of hardcore mode along with a two-fold increase in damage from monsters. Maybe it will be possible to die in the beta now? Unless the game is […]

Posted by Meldora 0 comments

Expansions and patches in World of Warcraft are the absolute best time to make gold. Coming into the update we typically have all the information we need, which glyphs are being added, which raids, which bosses, what will go up in demand and so on. Making gold during the days and weeks after the patch […]
