Any decent, res-less barb armour
Just want a bit of strength and vit, most of my slots have like 50 of each
Weapons are cheap as chips now, managed to grab 2 axes with 400ish LoH with sockets for 200k all up. I'm killing things by just sprinting around them lol
Can't wait until I've got 90k dps so inferno feels like this
never gonna happen

Change your build....cause that's basically what all Inferno Barbies do now. Else, you'll get sick of it when you reach 60...LOL

While I don't think he'll get anywhere near $135 you can't go by a straight conversion either. I've sold items for $10-20 that wouldn't fetch anywhere near their price in gold on the gold ah.

Updated Battletag list (there was one PM I had sitting in inbox for a week.) Still haven't updated the OP. Yes, I'm bad. No, it's not that important, but it'd still be nice for it to be current.
I'll get around to it...eventually.

Don't feel bad, I haven't received any PMs for the Battletag list either.

I think I end(ed) up getting most of them since I was the OP, even though there were multiple names listed to contact for that.
I don't even know how to price this. I just threw it up for like 10 mil opening bid, and 500 million buyout (for shits and giggles).
Had that been on EU it'd be between 500k-1million.

I've never played on EU. Is there a disparity between the economies? Or do these types of amulets drop often?

that's probably worth a lot I think. did you check what 40% MF and GF amulets are going for right now?

I should just sell all the gear on my alts to get better shit for my barb, blizzard is giving no incentive to play more than 1 character right now
LOL
Just saw your ammy on the AH

In the EU economy people simply don't buy items for huge amounts of money. Don't know if this is because all the rich kids play in the US region or because Europeans are more sensible when it comes to spending their cash on imaginary pixels.
Either way, overall the region has less players than US, less players generating huge amounts of income (and less bots maybe?), while item influx is still on par with the US (it seems). Which all leads to prices crashing since the established players either don't want to spend $$$$$$ or don't need the item upgrades. Coupled with less new/poor players willing/able to spend real life money to upgrade their stuff.
Inflation in the US region is something like 10 times the amount that's in the EU region, both GAH and RMAH wise. I have no visibility on the UK £ RMAH though, nor the Russian, but I imagine those are even worse since they're segragated from the main Euro RMAH.

I've gotten four legendaries with 1 post patch. I sold one for 22,000 gold and salvaged the rest of them.

Here's my Act 3 route.
Paragon
Get a helm and socket the best ruby you can afford for quicker leveling.
Route:
I load up the Kill Azmodan quest which gets you every WP.
1)WP to Rakkis Crossing
- Move forward and check for Underbridge. This dungeon area has a guaranteed champ pack and I often find a goblin in here
-TP to town once done
2)WP to Rakkis Crossing again
- Make your way back along the bridge. Check the bridge store. If you see someone crawling out, there is a champ inside, otherwise it's a vendor.
- Check for a random event along the bridge by a staircase that will spawn another champ pack as you complete the mini-quest.
- TP to town once you reach end of bridge
3)WP to Keep 1
-Clear area
- TP to town once done
4)WP to Keep 1 again
- Take stairs by WP down to Keep 2
- Clear area
- TP to town once done
5)WP to Keep 3
- Clear area
- TP to town
6)WP to Arreat Crater Level 1
- Clear down towards each level
- If you get to a dead end, TP to town, then take WP to the Tower level that comes directly after each Crater. Then go back up the stairs and work your way backwards through Crater areas you haven't done
7)Kill Azmodan
I know some people don't care for the Keeps area perhaps so you can cut that out if it's not working well as there are plenty of elites from Arreat Crater onwards.
One thing I do now that saves time is I'll try to choose the wrong path when going through the craters. Once I hit the dead end, I TP to town and take either of the first level 1 Tower WPs. Head up the stairs and you can then connect the two ends of the crater clearing in reverse. Saves tons of time rather than trying to backtrack.
Just clear everything. With 75% bonus xp you want to kill as many mobs as possible to maximize the xp gain. If there's a particular dungeon you don't like, skip it, but otherwise clear everything. Smaller runs just hurt you in the long run in terms of xp gain and rare yields.
Also, the faster you get to 5x the more xp you gain for killing the same number of enemies. So go straight to the keep level 3. Small level that guarantees you 2-4 packs.
What do you guys think the next step for my character to focus on upgrading? I'm at the point where everything's gonna be expensive so I have to pick and choose.

With 5NV stack you're guaranteed 2 rares. I got my last legendary from Az.
With max MF, I average around 5

Okay, good to know they're at least able to drop legendaries.

It only took 4 months but I finally got my first big crossbow
Probably isn't worth shit now

so expensive ;_;
They DO use Daibos now (I do) but that needed dex instead of strength.Well shit. Wish monks actually used diabos right about now.

Even with the lack of dex it's probably worth something. The LOH is pretty godly and so is the Crit roll. The addition of another socket is sweet. That's an easy 220 crit dmg from that weapon.
I've still stayed away from 2H weapons because I like hitting faster.

I'm pretty sure those are perfect MF and GF rolls. That is insanely rare, but I'm not sure how valuable that will be with the paragon system and people getting their MF and GF through paragon levels. Sell it ASAP before people start to realize that and back off such gear.
I know he got permed yesterday. Did he get banned again on his new account or something?

Even with Paragon that is an insanely good amulet. the high rolls on both make it so you don't need to look for either stat so much on other gear. Even someone as cheap as me would spend several million gold for an amulet like that, and there are people way more willing to spend gold. I mean, I'm only sitting on about 1.3 million so I couldn't buy it anyways, but he should be able to make some fat cash on it. Especially since it's the weekend and more people will be looking to buy. I'd do something ridiculous like put a 10 million minimum and 100 million buyout. It's crazy what some people will spend sometimes. Better to be persistent and try to make bank on a money item like that than to give up and sell it on the cheap.
Now if only it had a socket or some resist

That amulet is amazing.

When Pyro says it, listen to him.
Also, don't sell it for 10 mil/100 mil. Pyro will buy it and flip it for 999,999,999 gold.
Another day for me with no legendaries last night. Can I borrow your luck? What paths/quests are you running? I sometimes wonder if the quest picked somehow affects the RNG. Probably not, but when you go through the drought I've gone through you start to get paranoid and think Blizzard has a hidden agenda against you.
-Pyromaniac-

Hahaha I actually would flip it if the buyout wasn't redonkulously high. Not say it isn't worth tons though.

Don't dodge the second half of my post! I'm going to cry if I don't get anything good to drop on my first 3 day weekend in forever. I'm sure whatever you do it's probably so simple/basic to you that you don't feel it's worth mentioning, but I'll take any suggestions!
Is there some kind of "debuff" where a certain amount of time has to pass when starting a game before legendaries can drop? With 250 MF I've gone up about 12-13 paragon levels just farming act 1 (mostly leoric's manor, sometimes doing the halls/butcher and the highlands area). Most of my runs take about 1 minute, then I restart and do it over again. Getting great EXP, decent gold, lots of rares, but no legendaries.
I know it's probably as simple as the RNG gods spiting me
There was a time about 3 weeks ago where I got 3 legendaries within 3 hours while running through ACT 3 of Nightmare with low MF (just doing regular quest progression). Wasted luck lol

Not that I am aware of. I was referring to his 72 hour ban for advertising an 'exploit' that turned into a perm ban for using an 'exploit'. Then their decision to revert the other perm bans to a 72 hour ban that were due to a more serious issue, in my eyes atleast.
-Pyromaniac-

I do act 3 95% of the time, and I farm act 2 the other 5% which is basically when I need a small break from act 3. I personally don't do entire act runs. I just start at the "kill azmodan" spawn point. I then go to the arreat field or wherever it is through the exit on the top right, there's always 2-4 elites to kill there. After that I go to to the arreat crater and kill the 2-3 elites that are usually always there then if I'm at 5 I'll go kill Azmodan. Then I'll go to the keep and kill the 5 give or take elites on each floor. That's where I get most of my legendaries btw, the keep and the bridge of korsikk where there are just tons of enemies to mow down quickly. After the keep I do just that, go to the bridge of korsikk and clean up the whole circle area real quick. Another 2 elites give or take plus a ton of trash mobs. Then I go to the tower of the damned and complete the 3 floors there, then the tower of the cursed and clear the bunch there.Don't dodge the second half of my post!

I hit up arreat crator level 1 and 2 at the end because I hate those areas as a demon hunter, to much shit popping out of the ground and sometimes the elites can be kind of far from each other, not worth the time. But if I'm not bored at the end I'll visit those. Then start over. Really doesn't take that long if you're able to kill quickly.
But if you strictly just want to kill elites just hit up the keep, towers, core of arreat, repeat.
