My last two legendaries, 2 days apart, have both been Logan's claws. fml
I'm about to hit Act 3 (Inferno) and the only thing left to do is to kill Belial
I want to farm Act 1 but when I try to change quests it tells me all my saved progress will be overwritten
It doesn't mean my overall progress, right? I could still go to the last quest of Act 2 afterwards?

I just did that recently too, which feels so weird to say since this is a loot game... a loot game where you never find your own equipment. I sold the one I found for a bit over a million and bought an even better weapon for 100,000.
There has to be a lot of bots and they remain uncaught. I looted a Goldskin yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they go for 1.7M at minimum.
That was my original thinking, but no information, no data mined patch information like with 1.0.4 makes me think maybe it won't happen after all. Who knows.
Maybe the 8 hours downtime is so Blizz can play Borderlands 2.

So I'm getting trolled hard by Diablo today.
I jumped on this morning for 30 min before work. I got a legandary!!! It's BRACERS. I'm thinking Laccuni but no. It's the other ones with knockback. Only they were a bad roll with no RES and STR.
Then I get home for lunch and jump on again. Within 5 min another legendary! This time it's an AMMY!! Then I find it's a mara's kaleidoscope. What a worthless piece of crap that thing is. It's the "fixed" version too.
O well ... two brimstones.

Weird I do act 1 in its entirety and get a legendary every time. I do it all though takes me about three to four hours. Stop doing just a section n hoping for legendaries they come from hours of straight gaming.

That's not necessarily true. I almost always do a complete Act 3 run and many, many times have I made it all the way to the end with no legendary. Sometimes several runs in a row (and that's with 300+ MF). And on three occasions I've found two or more legendaries before getting out of the Keep Depths.

Yeah ... expecting a legendary after three runs seems pretty unrealistic. Depending on the run though. If he's doing Warden to butcher runs, it's too small really.
Prior to level 60 I saw two legendary items 0-60. So if you think on a "per act" basis, that's 2 legendary items in 12 complete acts. I completed everything. Every chest and barrel etc etc. So I guess if you're doing full act clears for a run you can think about getting a legendary item in 1 out of every 6 complete act clears at best and probably closer to 1 for every 8 - 12 full act clears. That was without NV and paragon though. With NV and paragon I'm at about 170 MF. When I was farming act II I was running like 250 MF. Essentially tripling my odds. I feel confident in saying I get one legendary in every 3-4 full act clears now.
Though a full act III clear isn't a short run at all. 2-3 hours at least for me if I include all the dungeons and time spent vendoring stuff.

I see. I think the first 250 hrs are slow then it picks up I get pretty lucky but perhaps those runs you get two or three equal out. Since 104 patch it seems near 50/50 I'll get a legendary drop if I play a whole run of any act I can't get past ghom but I have had good luck in act 3 so far. Maybe it's all luck and there's no pattern but I've been steadily getting lucky then.

This seems normal though. You get them in bunches and then go dry for a while. I think 1 legendary in 3 full act runs seems about right. (pending your MF is almost 200% or higher)
I haven't played this in a while due to GW2, but just saw some of the prospective 1.05 changes.
Finally, I can stop using Energy Armor!
Anyone know if the Storm Chaser rune for energy twister was ever hotfixed? I would want to play that build again as it was a lot of fun, but with ice armor or storm armor.

I'm so out of touch with this game lately. Still can't summon the willpower to go on. I play only about an hour a day, if that. I guess I'll give it another week or 2 to see if the desire comes back. If not then I hang it up.

Here's the route I use when I run act I with my DH:
- from the Northern Highlands waypoint, I go directly to the left (east) to check if the watchtower is there, if not, I just load a new game (the watchtower is a very small dungeon usually filled with elites)
- if there's a watchtower, I don't enter it yet, and go north up the stairs to Leoric's hunting grounds, and then inside the manor (there's always a pack of elites in front of the manor, often one inside too)
- I use the waypoint in the manor to go to the festering woods, to clear the two small dungeons there (2 more packs of elites guaranteed) and I look around the woods too. There are usually 2 packs outside too.
- then I go to the Cemetery, and explore the three crypts
- finally, I go back to the northern highlands to clear the watchtower
- if I'm in the mood I clear the halls of agony and the Butcher too
I think it's a pretty straightforward route, no huge maps to waste your time
New IGN article on 1.0.5:

Important parts:
And pvp delayed until 2013? Question is: expansion or free content?

Why wasn't all this stuff in the retail game......so many changes lol
Definitely, they'll probably release pvp before an expansion anyway. Well, at least I think so, but not too sure with the way their schedules have been going.
A couple of notes, there can be another elite in Leoric's Manner in one of the siderooms so be sure to check both, and be sure to check all of Leoric's Courtyard as you'll sometimes get 2 elite packs.

That IGN article is interesting. That inferno machine sounds great assuming it isn't ridiculously difficult to obtain.

Well, I guess that solves that...
Went for the moon with the first listing, 90 bid with 120 buyout, and it sold. So, yea, that's awesome. I actually have a substantial sum of gold to work with now. Time to upgrade.
Awww yeah, spent most of my money (11 million) to get this bow, was a good upgrade that took me from about 90k Damage to 102k (both without Steady Aim or Sharpshooter), and only wound up being a small HP hit for me:
Then right after this I got my first jeweler plan ever; was just the first Amethyst upgrade, but hey. People were not kidding about them being hard to spot, I didn't even realize I had picked it up. If I didn't pick up all blues still for vendoring I probably would have totally missed it.

remember uber diablo? I actually bothered to use the IRC chats to find the games that had him, and farmed 6 or 7 charms before i got tired of it.
:lol That stock broker image from a while back is so accurate.
That aside, I found a surprisingly decent low level amulet that looks like it might sell for a lot. I think I'd actually enjoy being the AH trading monkey while someone else 'generates' items for me...

Why do you do that? I thought the item was already predetermined upon dropping and it didn't matter which toon did the IDing. Am I wrong about that?
No, he IDs all his 63 rares in one go is what he means.
I really should set up an AHK script to ID all my items in inventory so it can do it semi-autonomously in between runs.
Uhh wouldn't it have taken you less time to right click on it in your inventory upon pickup than to type up this post?
Sure, but as I stated, I'd rather fill up my stash before ID'ing. Two 63s away from full stash anyway... Will find out in a bit.

I figured once I said that I was ensuring you a 100+ mil buyout. Congrats!
If the DPS is low, the Int and Crit Damage are pretty much ignored since people just give those to their Templar merc for that tiny bit of extra MF. On the other hand I could see a Wiz/WD trying that out as an MF swap weapon so you could account for those stats in that case.

that's quite the good legendary. The huge MF boost along with the damage to elites bonus should be good. As well as the high int. Someone would pay a ton for it no doubt. The DPS isn't so low that it goes into ignore territory.I got another legendary!
Damage is terrible but at least it got extra Int and crit damage. I put it up for 5m bid / 25m buyout, but it's probably not worth that much.
fwiw I had a ton of trouble selling a 900 dps with socket 170 int Sunkeeper when they first came out. I think the weapon is overlooked a lot, but who knows. Ended up rmah'ing it for $50.
Certainly better than some of the legendaries that drop, even with less dps than that one rolled. At least it has a purpose rather than trash.
That trouble certainly paid off though.
Thank you Diablo 3 for rewarding my farming with these "gifts"
At least I'm getting even trashy legendaries fairly often so all my investment into MF (233%, 300%+ with 5 NV stacks) seems to be paying off somewhat!
EDIT: It would be nice to get something that I could sell for good money on the AH though. I just bought the complete set of Jewel recipes for Topaz, crafted up a star Topaz and a star Ruby and ran out of money. I'm sitting at about 500K right now and that's not enough to get me above the 28-29K DPS I'm at right now. Still, progress!
