Patch 14 – Changes to Artisans & Farming

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 […]

Farming Gold in Diablo 3

Over the last few weeks I shared with you a few ways to make gold by farming bosses. Shortly afterwards Blizzard told us that we wouldn’t be farming bosses… right. Next, I wanted to figure out the fastest way I could farm gold without depending on the sale of crafting items. It’s entirely possible that […]

Boss Farming in Diablo 3

Farming bosses in Diablo 2 was a favorite pass time for most players. You could make gold and get powerful gear. In World of Warcraft it’s the primary way to gear up your character. You run the same heroics over and over and over again and then the same raids each week on each character. […]

Best Farming Class

What is the fastest way to farm in Diablo 3 and what is the best class to farm with? Players are going to be asking themselves these questions once they reach level 60 and start wondering how they can make more gold. That’s why I’m asking this question now.

Farming 21,000 gold/hr with the Demon Hunter

Today I put to test Shattered Crown runs with my Demon Hunter. I originally overlooked this quest because it involved running to the north part of Tristam, entering a cellar, and killing a dozen zombies. This takes well over the 60 seconds that my farming Subtle Essence runs took. However, with the Demon Hunter’s Vault, […]

Gold Find vs. Magic Find

The epic battle between + Gold Find and +Magic Find has just begun. The likely outcome in Diablo 3 will be that players want both or either + Magic Find or + Gold Find, but which one is more important? To find out, we can take a look at how much each contributes to various […]

Farming the Skeleton King

The other day we took a look at what I think is the best way to farm Subtle Essence. Now I wanted to move on to what everyone else is doing and draw a comparison. In the beta everyone just runs the Skeleton King quest line over and over again. It’s easy and only takes […]

Best Way to Farm Subtle Essence (20,000 gold/hr)

Today I went out to find the fastest way to farm Subtle Essence and to make the most gold per hour possible in beta. I did my research and wasn’t impressed with what people were already doing. Instead, I wanted to find the quickest path to a boss to collect magic items and then repeat. […]

Blizzard Promises: “You’ll Get Your Assess Kicked”

Blizzard released a little teaser video the other day with 3 of the development team’s artists featured explaining in no uncertain terms: “You will die in inferno difficulty!” One of them emphasizes that beta players have played a tiny portion of the easiest difficulty, which he refers to as ‘Farming Level’. It’s been awhile since […]

Diablo 3 Farming – Going for Blue

Many people in the beta are trying to use their max level characters to farm the limited content available. Undeniably the best way to make gold or beta bucks in the beta is to sell rare and magic items or the materials you salvage from them. A month ago I would have told you that […]
