Seems excessive? Honestly I wasn't seeing it go above 10-20 mil. Am I missing something?

Has anyone managed to get the Tomb of Sardar to spawn in Daghlur Oasis? It's the last dungeon I need for the achievement, and I've reloaded the map over 40 times with no spawn. The guide I'm using is here:
There's always 2 of these little dead end areas jutting up to the north on the west edge of the map in every layout of Daghlur oasis, so what I've been doing is checking both of these areas and then reloading.
If anyone else has found it, is this similar to where you found it, or was it somewhere random like in the middle of the map?

I've only had that tomb spawn once and yeah, it was right where it is on that map.
somebody sold a 250 million weapon earlier in the thread, so that's the go-to amount now for anything good
edit: I see the sardar tomb pretty frequently. make sure you're pressing the lever to drain the water, or else it won't display an entrance

All I had to do was post about it and then got it on my first run after I posted. Glad I decided to ask, i never would have found it otherwise!

Didn't get the meme, thanks.
I think that's the Tomb of Khan Dakab, which is my favorite side dungeon for farming purposes. 3 elites + 1 group outside and the chest at the end gives 2-3 rares frequently.

I just found it today. I remember thinking it was odd I hadn't seen that cave spawn in all my prior play time. I spawned that map a lot looking for the liquid rainbow cave too

Has anyone got either the event or the merchant in the Highlands Passage doing Butcher runs since the 1.0.3 patch? I've probably done a good 15 Butcher runs since the patch, as well as leveled two characters through there twice on Normal and Nightmare (four times total), but I haven't seen either even a single time.

Twice ... It spawns much less

Yeah I was surprised when I found it after many runs. Weird that it's basically an exact clone of the other tomb with it's own audio log.
Enjoy the legendary treasure of Sardar cpp! (aka two tomes of secrets and a couple of hundred gold)

Actually both tombs require you to pull a lever. The Tomb of Khan Dakab is 2 levers in a lowered area, the Tomb of Sardar is one lever on little dirt mound.

And most importantly, an achievement
Last one I need now is The Veiled Treasure.
Ugh, 3/10 on Ancient Device and I know this is not going to be kind to me.
Edit: Actually, if anyone wants to do some Ancient Device farming (not for treasure, but just to get all the possible outcomes), hit me up at Lamp#1105. Goes faster in a group.

There's a thing in Desolate Sands called Ancient Device. It doesn't spawn often, but when it does you pull a lever and get one of 10 possible otucomes. There's an achievement for getting all 10 outcomes. So that's basically all i mean. It's boring and if you don't care about achievements it's probably not worth your time
A few of the outcomes are actually decent (resp. chest, a dungeon with a pig inside that drops a lot of good loot, etc) but for the most part you don't get much out of it.

oh cool. well not tonight. tomorrow maybe. good luck , sounds like you need it lol
I gave up on Diablo III long before the Inferno changes when I hit a brick wall in Act 2 and didn't have the means to buy myself past that wall, or the desire to exploit flaws in the game's design, e.g. reloading one segment of Act 1 30 times a minute in the hope of spawning a Goblin.
Having seen the recent changes I decided to come back and just did an entire run through of Inferno Act 1 from start to finish. Got a few small upgrades, but also have the items below that don't suit my Wizard. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with the latest gear trends and Blizzard has kindly removed things like IAS searching on Quivers, and for my Shield, the value box doesn't go past 999 Armor, so if anyone can help me out and tell me if the stuff is worth a damn it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Surely this guy's shield should be worth something? It hits a couple of points in the selling guidelines - it's iLVL 63 and it has 18% magic find?

Terrible block.
Okay, so what's the minimum block chance to sell shields at?
Air Zombie Meat
Member
You want at least 20% really.
mine is 17 and i want higher. probably 20% is what i'd be looking for. i'd also vendor anything below 20% lol
cpp_is_king
Member
Depends. I'd keep a 17 if it had great strength, vit, and all resist. Definitely if it had 5+ crit chance.
the 60 all resist and socket is all 'im keeping it for. i dont think it has anything else worth it

How much do you guys think a cold resist monk would want to pay for these? seems like not a wasted roll in the whole lot, with some high rolls as well.
Also does this source have high damage? I know nothing of sources so I'm flying blind here, but from looking at AH it seems like a lot. with decent int and magic find, could be worth something I'm guessing.

If it has really good stats you can still sell it to people who don't know better. You feel a bit guilty after but whatever. :lol
Oh...I must have forgotten then. The Tomb of Sardar is so rare that I think I've only seen it maybe twice.
Dex can only roll up to 200 on shoulders. Those are probably worth a couple mil, maybe more to a cold monk.

True, but anything with main stat of 250+ as well as VIT and All Res is always like 30m+. At least in my experience.

Just checked and it looks like anywhere from 5-8 million, honestly. There are a few lower end ones at 2 million or so, but they lack both the armor and the dual resist. Honestly those are pretty godly for a cold resist monk.

so hmmmmm found this....
and am confused..
minimum 50 million, probably closer to 100
Probably more. My shoulder is 502 armor, 82 str, 80 dex, 149 vit, 47 physical resist (which I stack) and I've been trying to find an upgrade. Anything that has all resist and overall same dex + vit will cost about 3M at least. And even then I'll lose some armor.
When you get in shit of that stratosphere, do extra things merely complement, or add almost double the value.
Say it had strength instead of int, if that 50 million was legit, would that boost it to 75 million in your eyes? I know, I know, crazy, but I figure when you have weapons like that, even little extras are given an even greater premium?

Enjoy your $100+so hmmmmm found this....

exactly
i'm pretty sure thats what the 15% is but you only lose it if the item sells. which is fine.
someone will buy it for a lot. there are not that many 1200 dps 1h'ers available.

Thanks for all of the advice guys, they are a friends who is pretty poor right now so him hearing even a couple mil is going to be great when I tell him that they could be worth possibly even 8. As for the source which is mine, I didn't know about people wanting 204 average damage, that is very helpful too. Love this thread
i can probably get at least 100mil, just waiting until someone buys one of my other items or expires before i can put it up
Kind of funny this is the only stuff I've been selling lately.
I think people get to Inferno with rings/ammy's they got at like level 50, and then suddenly want upgrades.
Yeah, anything with dex, vit, all res and another res sells for pretty decent, especially on pieces like shoulders and bracers. Those seem to be the hardest for me to upgrade, personally. And you can get away with pricing them a little high sometimes. We're kind of at the mercy of whatever secondary resist we picked, and sorting through everything is such a pain in the ass. It's hard to directly compare things, and even if there's another piece there priced better if it has the wrong resist it can't even be considered. I feel like I've probably overpaid for a few of my pieces, but they're such perfect itemization (like that should is) that I can't really complain. I know when looking my eyes kind of glaze over while trying to find "lightning" (or if I searched for all res, lightning res, and dex instead of all res, vit and dex I try and find the vit ones) that I can't pay attention to pricing on any of the other ones. In other words if there is nothing else in that range with cold resist at the time, then your friend will probably get very lucky.
What if they added a fee just by posting it in AH.
Even if it sells or not you'll be paying it.
Because if they do it on one of the AHs they'd have to do it on both (because a lot of people would just move to whichever didn't have the immediate listing fee. And then, why in the world would they want to put a disincentive on selling on the RMAH? I guess they could do things like that on the GAH to push people to the RMAH, but I think that'd be so terribly transparent that people would throw fits (and rightfully so)

It's pretty insane that the AH didn't start out with more filters, and even more crazy that they haven't patched that yet. Searching for anything with more than 3 useful stats is a pain. It could definitely end up helping my friend though if it cant be compared easily with other cold dual res shoulders.
