Artisan Changes Patch 1.0.3

Blizzard announced it will be adjusting the required gold and requires Pages to level Blacksmithing. If you’re considering power leveling your Blacksmith tomorrow, you have been warned. It currently costs about 645,000 gold to level your Blacksmith, which is probably quite a bit more than the average player earns from level 1 to 60. That […]

How to Make Gold with Jewelcrafting

Is it possible to make gold with your Jeweler? Yes, but right now a lot of players are just giving their money away when combining the wrong gems. If you haven’t already, you need to level your jeweler. You can read my jewelcrafting leveling guide to see how much it will cost you and how […]

Leveling Blacksmithing

Blacksmithing has gone through a wide array of changes since I started playing the beta last year. It started out among 2 other artisans, the mystic and the jeweler. The mystic was removed and that left only Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting. Jewelcrafting isn’t really a crafting profession, since it really just offers the ability to combine […]

Gem Combine Prices – Patch 15

The gold sinks in Jewelcrafting just got a whole lot more ridiculous. Thanks to commenter Eagle32 and DiabloNut I’ve got my hands on Patch 15′s gem crafting prices. If you remember my gem calculator (it’s now updated!) from last month the cost of combining each tier of gems (3 Chipped -> 1 Flawed) always cost […]

39,858,050 Gold, and what it means to You!

Yesterday I shared with everyone my gem calculator which helps determine the values of gems on the auction house along with the cost of combining gems into higher tiered gems. One of the things that immediately threw me off was the massive amount it costs just to combine gems. At first sight, 50 gold to […]

Buying and Selling Gems

Buying and selling gems will be among the first ways to make gold I will evaluate. As most people know there are 14 different tiers of gems, each being combined in 3s to make 1 of the next quality tier. Each type of gems starts with ‘chipped’ and works its way up to “radiant star” […]

Sweeping Changes to Stats and Artisan Leveling

After last week’s announcement, among other things, that they were removing the Mystic Artisan (I never saw her anyways) and removing the Nephelum Cube today we’re met with Patch 10. What’s in Patch 10? More sweeping changes. We’re sitting at about 1 month after the latest projected release date and we’re still talking about what […]

Usings Diablo 3 Gems

In Diablo 3 you will be able to visit your Jeweler and add sockets to gear. In these sockets and also at your Jeweler you will be able to insert powerful gems that will permanently add properties to the gear. Unlike in other Blizzard MMOs, you will be able to sell or trade the gem’ed […]

Diablo 3 Enhancements (Enchants)

In Diablo 3 every character you play will have access to your Mystic, which will give you the abilities to identify mysterious items and to enhance your equipment. You’ll level your Mystic from an apprentice to exalted and eventually be able to unlock all the enhancements in Diablo. Let’s take a look at what these […]
