Collapsing Economy

Are we in a recession? Diablo 3 released a little over a week ago and the going price of Subtle Essence has already hit rock bottom at 14 gold. The only reason it hasn’t dropped below that price is because in-game vendors will create 14 gold and give it to you for your Subtle Essence, […]

Vendor Your Magic Gear!

If you haven’t noticed already, the market for trade goods has already collapsed. I wrote yesterday about how to make gold with subtle essences as their auction house value gets closer and closer to their vendor value. The vendor value of Subtle Essence is 14 gold, Shimmering Essence is 30 gold. Magic items, on the […]

Simple Auction House Manipulation – 6k gold in minutes

I’ve been doing a lot of complicated stuff on the auction house to make gold, some of it works and some of it doesn’t. But this is the most simple way I have found that works and is repeatable at just about any time of the day. On average I’m making 10,000 gold in a […]

What we Learned from the Open Beta

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?

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 […]

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 […]

Farming Subtle Essence – Patch 14 – Captain Daltyn

I’ve really tested 4-5 different methods to farming in the beta. There’s the crypts farming which everyone raves about for which I haven’t done a video on yet. There’s farming Captain Daltyn, Mira Eamon and Royal Crypts. The best one I found in Patch 13 was Captain Daltyn. With the Demon Hunter you can get […]

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 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, […]
