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 […]

Barbarian Farming Build

The Barbarian brings the typical melee destruction, leaping into combat, cleaving, stomping, causing earthquakes and the likes. As you have seen in my other class farming builds, here is what I think promises to be a kickass way to farm with the Barbarian. The idea for this build is that it’s suitable for rapid completion […]

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. […]

Wizard AoE Build

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

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!

Demon Hunter Farming Build

It’s time to sit down and take a look at the various skills and runes available to help us farm in the live version. You can literally sit for hours looking at the Battle.net Skill Calculator, tinkering with Skill Runes and different active and passive skill combinations. What’s the best Demon Hunter farming build? I […]

Farming Subtle Essence (Again)

Yes, I know. I’ve already given you 2-3 ways to farm Subtle Essence. This is yet another strategy from DonReader and once again sits among the best and fastest ways to farm Subtle Essene (or any essence for that matter). At some point I’m going to have to compare all these methods careful to determine […]

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 […]

How Does +Gold Find Work?

I wanted to find out exactly how +Gold Find and +Magic Find work. Their tooltips say that they increase the amount of gold or magic items you will find by a certain percent. If you have 100% +Gold Find does that mean that gold is twice as likely to drop from something or are you […]
