Some Questions and Answers

I’ve been playing with some new players lately and I wanted to throw some basic questions out there and answer them in case someone has similar questions and find same through a search engine. These are real questions I’ve had people ask me in the game.

Sell Your Gold – Inflation is Serious Business

The other day a reader wrote a comment asking if it would be smarter to invest gold in the first few days into your artisan. It might be, but let’s take a realistic look at what’s going to happen to the real-money value of gold in the first week of Diablo 3.

Can You Really Make Money in Diablo 3?

Today a friend of mine asked me: “do you think D3′s “sell shit for real money” system will actually be worth investing in?” Now, let me be clear, this guy had no idea what I’ve been up to the last 6 months. As far as he knows I’m still playing World of Warcraft and collecting […]

Does Real-Money Really Matter?

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, […]

Making Gold on Day 1

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 […]
