I have a buddy who's an expert on quivers. Let me give him a call and we can see what we have here.

Well, this quiver is only +19% attack speed instead of a nice, round +20% attack speed. Plus it doesn't have any intellect or all-resistance, a trait desirable on so many items in my shop.

I can offer you 50k and that's the best I can do.

Hahaha I see what you did there.

Just to recap.

Client side AH functions to insta-cancel your auctions, and duping discovered on the same day!


Coincidence?



P.S. Wasn't online required supposed to prevent these issues?

The crafting thing isn't duping. You just get all of your mats back if you craft something and aren't happy with the results.

Is there an explanation/formula for determining dps?

I don't understand what +25 damage on a ring does at all.

Yeah, something is wrong with ring drops.

I'm looking for:
attack speed 12+%
Vitality 100+
Intelligence 100+
< 500K gold


Something remotely in that ball park gets snatched immediately.

There's tons of shit level 30-55 rings being sold for 400k with attack speed.

Did Blizzard nerf rings or something?


LOOOOOOOOOOL, yeah, good luck getting to the buyout button in time for a ring like that dude.

This is almost worse, if they get their gold back as well. Roll and roll until you get something worth millions. Repeat until you've got hundreds of millions of gold.

I suppose it isn't pure duping. But still one hell of exploit.


Also indicative that even looting/crafting is client side until an update is sent out to the sever. Sloppy.
 
For some reason price checks and Gaf do not work. Post Legendary-> trollpost

The problem with level 60 legendaries is that when people are putting down money for level 60 items, they're looking for THE item for that slot. At the moment, legendaries can't compare with nicely rolled rares so why buy them? I'd understand as maybe a stop-gap but then they'd have to be priced reasonably. I personally wouldn't bother with a quiver with less than +10 discipline.

I'd suggest searching the AH for a max buyout of say 1M and seeing what goes for that much. If yours is similar or better, bump it up otherwise just bump it up a little for that legendary tax

You'll never find anything with those stats for less than 500k...

Why?

You can get set armor pieces with really good stats at 500k

Why are rings that are barely better than shit vendors sell selling at 400k on the AH?

Is there a wiki that shows where rings drop? Because I'd rather do it myself than spend days getting gold to get that ring on the AH.

There are legendaries that are legitimately better than anything you can really roll on a rare/magic item.

They go for a ton.

Granted, most legendaries are junk.

Can you get set pieces with 100+ in two excellent stats and 12% attack speed at 500k? Probably not, the ring described here trumps nearly any set piece, so its worth more.

Dont compare some middling 50 in 3 stats and some attack speed green item to a 100+ two stat ring with 12% attack speed man, they arent comparable.

That is true... That %6 dmg mod could be so good though, if it was the right skill.

True.

I'd do some truly, truly regrettable things for a nice Stormshield

Mine dropped from Act II Inferno! I recommend you look there if you're hoping for a stroke of luck.
(This is only reasonable because my friend farmed the same spot - Goblins at the time - and found his there the next day!)
 
Just went into the Keep Depths Lv 1 and found the lava bridge that usually has a resplendent chest on it with a wagon in the center. Now the wagon is off to the side and there is a regular chest, not a resplendent chest.

In over 200 runs of the keep I have *never* seen this layout before.

Is anyone getting the regular chest to spawn? FWIW, I wasn't actually doing a chest run here, just passing through

It got nerfed completely. Resplendent doesn't spawn there anymore.

Wow, why won't you inspect those?

I just don't bother until my stash is full and most of it was awful anyway. The amulet was nice though.
...

So you guys saying this thing I gave to my enchantress is worth more than 500k?

I would sell it, but I think I value her 4.5k DMG more than that :p

All I can say is, your Enchantress is spoiled... haha. I feel like you should save it, both for chantress or for your future Wizard.

Yeah it isn't duping but it might as well be. It's about a million times worse than the auction cancel thing, though that is pretty dumb. It's like going to a casino and playing for free until you win. Makes me wonder how long people have been exploiting this on the down low.

In related news, I just saw a video of an auction house bot automatically buying underpriced gear. There's a youtube vid of it around, but not sure if I can link it here.

I've got a crazy amount of rare rings/ammys/follower items I don't sell because pricing them is a nightmare.

Man, auction house auto-cancel and unlimited crafting?

Rough weekend for Blizz. So much for that server side security.

Maybe. Depends on if they're selling. But yeah, a ring like that would be priced at 500-800k on the AH right now.

I'm not even sure if I want attack speed+% because I found a spell damage formula that doesn't include it. Seems I just want lots of INT and weapon dps.

For your viewing pleasure.


Also a chinese/korean link out there showing someone crafting the same glove recipe over and over again until they get what they want. If they don't the host leaves the game and the player logs back in...with all their money and mats back.

Because again, the best way to process loot/crafting is client side. Right?

Apparently Asia has been doing this for weeks, and is now just breaking out stateside.

The reason is because Blizzard forgot to put rare jewelry in Nightmare and Hell.

You'll get some in Normal and you'll get some in Inferno, you won't get enough to meet demand. You get people hitting 60, still wearing junk from their Normal run, and all of them want new jewelry. Large demand, little supply.

Rings(or anything else non-quest related) don't drop in specific areas.

This seems to fit what I'm seeing. I'm still wearing rings for level 50 and 54 that I got going through normal-hell on my wizard, which was just a few days ago.

So to get rings:
1. Go to late Act 4 Nightmare
2. Wear 2000 damage to attacker
3. Wear 200 MF
4. Run through as mobs die on contact, and pick up anything yellow, brown, or green.

I may try this tomorrow.

You're almost better off trying the vendors.

My 60 DH is currently rocking 2 blue ring with 15%IAS and +60 Dex. Bought from a vendor. :|

So i just started inferno with my wizard. Thought things were alright against normal mobs... then i met my first undead elite with his minions in a small abandoned cellar...shit is unkillable for me in such a small place and it takes 2 hits for me to die, so i say fuck it and ignore the cellar.

Then a little further, i meet another elite with invincible minions and regenerative health who runs 100x faster than me with the same ridiculous power. Oh my god, how am i supposed to kill these things when all the upgrades on the AH are like 1-5 freaking millions gold and i'm barely at 300k? Ugh. Guess im just going to farm Act IV Hell until i can find something i can sell for 3 millions. Yay.
 

Yoshichan

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yeah... once you "get" Diablo (on inferno), he starts becoming ez. Time to farm him, I guess...?

derp.

Thanks to a blunder (hit train twice) I can now craft Radiant Gem's for anyone in NA that is interested. No charge, just bring the mats (generally 3 of a lower gem, plus 3-5 tomes, and 30-80k depending).

(Could be fake)

But with crafting exploit it is possible. Rollback is a possibility.

If it makes you feel any better, it'll be this all over again once you get to Act II. :D

Crafting 20m gold items for free? I could see how someone could amass that much money.

Apparently this was patched in the US and EU already, but it still live on the servers in other places. At least we should be safe from humongous rollbacks. It was patched here before people found out about it apparently.

Wait, you can craft items worth 20 million gold? I haven't been bothering with crafting much because items on the AH are better, but I guess maybe I should, I have a whole bunch of materials saved up.
