As it stands the "best items" are going to be basically blues until we see some major changes too the loot charge no matter how deep it may or may not be.

As it stands I don't spend my gold on jeweling, or blacksmithing. I don't buy uniques but I do sell them on the AH.

Depending on what your 'goal' with D2 is I just want to give you an over-arching idea of forseeing what you will end up with at level 60 vs what you should be spending your gold on.

Spend your gold on potions and high dps weapons, 2 hander or otherwise.

As for selling items in the AH I have found that extravagant buy out prices are tempting but using the Wizard guide to leveing I almost usually am selling exclusively yellows on the AH (not any blues currently).

As for buying and selling comodities don't spend money on upgrading things like gems unless you plan on scaling too sell ie.

Level 1 - Flawed
Level 2 - Normal
Level 3 - Flawless
Level 4 - Perfect
Level 5 - Radiant
Level 6 - Square
Level 7 - Flawless Square
Level 8 - Perfect Square
Level 9 - Radiant Square
Level 10 - Star
Level 10 - Flawless Star
Level 10 - Perfect Star
Level 10 - Radiant Star

(!empty($user->lang['QUOTE'])) ? $user->lang['QUOTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'QUOTE'))):
-Buying a normal gem from the ah costs about 50 gold more than a chipped or flawed. since there is no level requirement, no one would ever use a chipped or flawed gem
-If you want to combine chipped or flawed gems to a normal one it will cost you about 500 gold. Since the auction house offers you normal and flawless for about 400 gold there is literally no point to using this recipy. You're better of selling them to vendor or putting them on ah (where no one will buy them)
-There is no point to disenchanting items 99%. For example, if you disenchant an item on normal you get a piece of dust that sells for 14 or 15 gold on the AH. Since the blues themselves would sell themselves for 100-200 to a vendor you would waste money disenchanting items yourself.
-Crafting is useless (at least so far for me). I've spend about 35.000 gold in upgrading and crafting items themselves, but they mostly end up terrible. Again, you're better off buying something nice from the AH at half the cost with twice the stats. I realize that this might change when you get a higher level (I'm not maxed yet) but that shouldn't change the fact that it is relatively useless in lower levels.
-As is obvious by now, legendaries are relatively weak in comparison with blues and rares most of the time. It makes no sense that a legendary I would find has less benefit that the rares and blues that pop up all the time.
Basically, most of this has to do with the AH, but it still makes for an odd playing experience. Everything else about the game I like but the above points just render half of the crafting/gem/item system void.


They stack too 100.

Also you can sell comodities to the AH even when your 10/10 on the AH and want too sell stacks of master jewler or master blacksmith.

Depends on what your selling.

You can get good money for all your magic items if they have good stats. Yellows sell better on the AH even though technically they are about a bit more sketchy than blues.

Most of my farming has been between normal-nightmare Azmodan runs.

I have a friend whos a 60 so I can defer all short term questions to him but I will clarify anything if you want.

Cheers.

hi i dont understand your post?

you saying use 2 handed weapons they have more dmg?

blues have better stats?

and sell uniques..

depends what you want from the game...

yellows tend to have best stats and uniques are good for goldfind/runspeed

i would say spend you gold on uniques if they are upgrades before tehy get expensive

No I would say do not buy uniques they are utter trash the in game economics are all !@#$%^&* backwords like when classic D2 1.00 launched.

Uniques are inferior too blues and yellow items at the inferno/hell level. I am just about to max out and I can only recommend liquidating all uniques you have now as people will buy them at an inflated gold price regardless of the fact that a lower costing higher DPS item may be available.

My technique too get cheap items with high end DPS for example is too search my level requirement

50-

then add whatever stats it is I am wanting for my main (ie. int/magic find/gold find), push search, now push the sort by ascending buying button for lowest and you will see all the items with no buy out price.

Toggle until you find the first items with the lowest buyouts.

Here you will find the high DPS/ low buy out items.

I got a 200 dps 2 handed staff for 45k instead of a 170 dps unique staff for 250k.

The savings and benefits are astounding.

Some blues will roll higher stats than yellows, but yellows will usually have more magical properties all together. Most blues will have 1-3 magical properties and a socket. Yellows can have up to 6 I believe. As for DPS on weapons.... that is just calculated by the + random damage rolled on the item.

Yea that is the problem tho. You can have a legendary item with pointless stats and a blue that outclasses it easily. They dropped the ball so hard on loot. The advertised billions of loot combinations but quality over quanity was definitely not added. Why not make certain items have only certain stats.

Yea anyways what fireworks said is a great method i have been doing.

- Type in your level exactly plus or minus 3 levels.
- Look for items you want.
- Change to buyout prices
- Look for low listed items and see if you can find anything good.

The problem is the market is becoming so quickly over saturated that its getting hard to even find items your level and price range you want since they dont allow a price range search....

However nice trick moving to guides. 25 reps to you good sir.
