Run Gold in Diablo 3

Run Gold in Diablo 3

1. Steps of HC Inferno Run Gold with 10MP

A. Select Trailing the Coven of Inferno ACT1 8-1. Select Monster Power level 10.

B. Talk to Leah and then teleport to Wortham Chapel Cellar. Farm the whole Wortham until you reach Wortham Bluffs.

C. After you farm the last corpse, go back to town. Leave the game and then log in the game to farm again.

D. During the farming, you have chance to meet Rodger the Alchemist on the bridge of Wortham Bluffs selling half-price potions.

2. Select Skills and Equips

A. Skills:

Any skill with increasing movement speed stats is ok.

B. Equips:

a. increase movement speed: recommendation: all the ones with +12 movement speed that you can afford.

b. increase pickup range: this is easy.

c. increase gold find: this has to be tested by players, as a previous blue post seems to mention that GF and MF equips don’t work on environments any more.

PS: after patch 1.05 and before patch 1.05a, I did some tests (do the farming 10 times each with 250 GF and 550 GF), the result is the earning of 550 GF is almost twice of that of 250 GF. I don’t know whether it’s because I farm too few or GF still works on environments.

PS2: Inferno 10MP, +250 Gold Find, equips, Paragon level, Follower’s GF can help you reach GF 550.

3. Earning

A. My test character: with movement speed 23, pickup range 29, GF 550, Spirit Walk, Horrify whenever available, I have to spend 108 seconds for one farm. I earn 10,000 gold per farm. Thus I can farm 300,000 gold for 1 hour.

B. This is probably the most you can get.

Post of the developer:

i was trying to start a career in coding with this. the project taught me how to code my first lines and the progress has been very reassuring for how i look at myself and how it never seems too late to make a change in plans. i thought there was a place for me at home as a coder, being able to secure a future for my daughter. ive had to quit sdtudying medicine because of the illness and my daughter was the only reason why i worked the flesh off my bones instead of seeking stationary treatment in a clinic. i have not eaten or slept for days in a row (last sleep this morning 4h, before that 68h awake), only leaving the computer when either my bladder was forcing me to or my eyes kept falling shut. I usually introduced sleep after sitting at the pc for 2h of this state in which im half asleep but occasionally waiting up to try new ways of seeing through the blurry mess that my infected eyes presented to me. ive had to undo whole days of coding because of the failing thought processes. im ranting sorry guys, im at wits end. im just praying they dont A take my pc or B send me to jail. I really didnt think Blizzard would ever go this far.

See, i was gonna bring structure to the whole thing, but you gotta realize ive not been receiving any practical help and its the first coding project ive ever had. and ive been losing my mind as i have stressed so many times now. 3 days of the week were always limited to daddy-daughter time. ive only let that slide twice (two single days) in the past 3 yrs 3month. once when she was on vacation with her mum and once when i had the psy. break two weeks ago. the only one who showed support 100% of the time was my mod (later admin) Markus, very solid guy in case anyone is seeking someone like that. He was neither using the bot, nor asking for anything in return, just showing support throughout every single day, despite not knowing me before the project. even when i had my major psychotic break he never started judging. i really appreciate that. unfortunately he cant code and isnt very experienced with forum administration, just saying so "i received no practical help" wont seem like an offense to him if he reads this.

Shock News: Blizzard Wanted a Diablo for Gameboy?

Fmulder points us to this week’s Shacknews piece previewing David Craddock’s upcoming Blizzard North book drops the interesting and slightly horrifying fact that Blizzard North briefly considered developing a Diablo project for the Gameboy. Quote:

 “Following Diablo 2′s release, Blizzard North split into two teams … kind of,” Craddock said. “One team immediately started in on D2’s expansion set, Lord of Destruction. The other team went into spitball mode, kicking around ideas for a new IP. But several other developers ventured into groups of two or three and put together proposals for smaller projects. One of those was given the working title Diablo Junior, a game tentatively planned for the Game Boy Color and/or the Game Boy Advance, depending on market share and other business-y factors.

 “Diablo Junior was intended as a single-player-only prequel to the original game. Taking a page from Pokémon’s book, the team wanted to release three cartridges, each packing a different hero in the warrior-rogue-sorcerer vein as well as items that players would have to trade for in order to collect. Heroes started in a unique town before heading into dungeons and wilderness zones. Diablo Junior was ultimately put out to pasture (absent of cow levels, I’m sure) because of the steep production costs associated with developing handheld games.”

The preview also mentions post-LoD plans for a second D2 expansion which would have focused on adding multiplayer features, including Guild Halls. Those were long-planned and were actually playable pre-release; we saw a functional version during our visit to Blizzard North in 2000, but they were never developed fully enough to implement into Diablo II. Nor Diablo III, at least not so far.

Please Treat the Duel Wield 2-Handed Weapons Bug Rationally

More and more Diablo 3 players start to make use of the duel wield two-handed weapons bug.

(Can equip 2 two-handed weapons at the same time and have both weapons’ stats which

increase the DPS greatly)

However, since Blizzard can check your character profile easily, once they start to block accounts,

those who make use of the bug will definitely be punished.

Even if you were not found out by Blizzard, you must have to spend a lot of money on the extra

300% crit damage. Will you invest thousands of money in a bug which may be fixed any time?
