The Calm Before the Storm

Posted by Meldora 0 comments

Today marks the last day of the Diablo 3 beta, a 6 month long journey from a basic unfinished version of Diablo 3 to today’s near-complete masterpiece. We’ve seen artisans removed, the entire skill system change and the Skeleton King die at least 1,000 times. We’ve learned about the new RMAH, its fee potential structures […]

Earlier this morning ended the open beta. What Blizzard refereed to as a stress test. Although, based on the numbers only about 4x the normal number of players played in the beta. After all this, what did we learn?

Big Surprises for World of Warcraft Players in Diablo 3

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

I don’t have data that shows how many soon to be Diablo 3 players used to be World of Warcraft junkies, but I bet there are a lot. World of Warcraft could easily be considered the MMORPG of the decade, second only to the original EverQuest which was popular before many of the present WoW […]

Money Making Schemes in Diablo 3

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

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 […]

Yesterday I updated and shared the latest version of my gem calculator. It helps visualize and calculate how much gold goes into combining gems. It takes into account the new costs of each combination (which goes up each tier) as well as the estimated value of the new reagents (Pages and Tomes). What we learned […]

Wizard AoE Build

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

This Wizard AoE build is built for high damage and high AoE ability. It’s somewhat of a derivation of my previous Wizard Farming Build where I focused on travel speed, arcane regeneration and AoE. This time, I focused mostly on AoE and passed on the teleportation. This makes this build more suitable for farming or […]

Farming Den of the Fallen

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

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 […]

Wizard Farming Build

It’s time to take a really close look at the Wizard class and see if we can come up the best Wizard Farming Build. Last week I shared a Demon Hunter Farming Build, I’ll try to hit each class before release. Let me know if you have any builds you’d like to share!

How to Get +2,324% Gold Find (Revised)

Posted by Meldora 9 comments

Last week I wrote an article about how to get +541% Gold Find and it wasn’t long before people were commenting and sending me e-mails telling me I had it all wrong. What I tried to do was add up the maximum amounts of Gold Find for each item slot to speculate as to what […]
