LOL, no not even 12 mill. I would peg it around 4-6 tops. There isn't any one thing that stands out enough that anyone searching it will find easily, for one.

For those that do like an all encompassing ring like that (which is pretty good), put it in as about 2 mill opening bid, 7 million buyout (or leave that open) and see what happens. Even then you might not get any bids, but who knows.

23? not a chance, I don't believe.

My two cents.

Just a thread about some DH farming 350K+ an hour in NM.

If you are low on cash, you might want to check it out, even though some of the speed tactics would be useless for some classes, the reasoning and location are probably still solid.

edit: Forgot the link!

I ran into a bit of a wall with my 60 DH in Act 3 Inferno post-patch...

I've been playing a zerker now, and I love it. I just steamrolled right through Normal and about to start Nightmare. I even got the achievement for completing Act 4 in under an hour (which, I'm sure, is a pretty common one to get).

So 350k gold an hour, gold seems to be at what, $2-3 per million (at least according to the spam invites I get)? Seems better to buy it

I gave it a try and it did work quite well but as Photon points out, if you can get 1 Million gold for $3 it doesn't really make sense to spend 3 hours trying to make that same million.

I refuse to buy gold etc from random people on the internet.

We will see when the RMAH supports gold, and then I will probably consider it.

Didn't know NV kicked in at 60 even at Hell, wow does that ever make a difference. Every elite pack dropped at least one if not two yellow, and quite often good ones, and when I killed Asmodan with 5NV man the screen was filled, I had to make two trips to vendor it all and there were 2-3 items that really made me think about wearing them.

You got an offer for that? holy hell... Someone's on crack.

I wouldn't pay that!!! Heck, I just got over the 10 mill mark myself tonight, and that ring wouldn't be on my radar to improve my rig.

Good on you though! Take the money and run!

gotta remember a lot of kiddies using their moms CC to buy gold. Its 2 bucks a million on some sites. Hell even, I have bought a few million just to top off to buy a plan to craft.

Think of the reasoning being not wanting to farm gold, for 2-3 bucks a million, it isnt that much. Suddenly adding 5-10 million isnt totally out of wack.

edit: it hasn't been mentioned here, but selling unidentified items is way out of control. Just made almost 500k from selling 2 level 63 items, hat and pants. I regret not doing it earlier, but I felt like I was ripping people off. I decided that if I sold the ones I didnt need, I could buy the items I did need and it would be a wash.

It has acually died down a bit in the past few days, but I have seen level 63 Hellion Bows go for 1.4million.

Need to do it in trade channel, so it isnt as painless as AH, but level 63 items sell pretty quick. Just do auctions in chat for them.

Just an update on this: I got Soul today for a few bucks with the RMAH proceeds of other sales, so I just need Gaze and/or Mark to fill out my set.

What's driving up the price of the Unstoppable Traps over the Gallant Vices?

7.5 Crit hit chance >> 30% crit damage on the AH.

To compare, disregarding the MF, similar gloves were on for about 500k (clearly based on the crit chance). Similar gloves without the crit chance (but similar MF) were also about 500, so I made a guess that MF might add 200k to the price. It might actually add a lot more, especially given the chances expected to how MF works

Few reasons (just guessing):
  • Most people have a good amount of crit damage gear, like I have about +300% and my gear isn't really that good. You can have up to 200% per weapon, and if you dual wield that is up to 400%. Add in +30-40% in a few other pieces and I could see having +5-600% easily in the range that people might be looking at those gloves. Crits impact on DPS is (crit chance) x (crit damage) so if you have above 400% crit damage gear, the crit chance gear is clearly better.
  • It makes your damage less 'spikey', which means you can predict better how long it will take you to kill mobs, which impacts how fast you can move through areas
  • DH are very popular (and can farm easily), and as such are driving item sales. One of the best DH passive skills is Sharpshooter, which raises your crit chance every second until you hit a mob. If your crit chance is above about 30-40%, then having this skill is kind of pointless, so it frees up a passive skill to take something else that would bump your dps 10-20% or give you a good movement bonus
  • 7.5% is a pretty good roll, so somewhat uncommon. If it was lower like 3-4, I doubt it would be worth anywhere close to that.
