**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

Yeah I assume most people are like me, still have the yellow mats about 10 to 15 times more than any of the others.

Can you convert it to death's breath? Lol.

Patch 2.4 info

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/19941044/

The most important part:

More Stash Space
It’s been a long time request for players to have more room to store their treasures, and we’re pleased to announce the technology has arrived! With all the new stuff we’ve added and the loads more that are headed your way, it’s time to give you more storage for all of it.

So much room for activities!
We’re adding an additional gold-purchasable stash tab for all players with the Reaper of Souls expansion. If you’re concerned that’s not enough, don’t worry—we’re also adding a way for players to earn additional Stash tabs, up to a maximum of 10, through our Season Journey feature.
Stash space works differently for our Console players, so we’ll also be offering comparable new space on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. You’ll be able to purchase up to 350 item slots using gold.

This is pretty cool too:

New Feature: Set Dungeons
With all these updated sets comes greater power, and, with our latest feature, greater challenge. We want to give players the opportunity to learn and master their sets inside and out. To do this, we’re introducing an entirely new set of challenges in the form of Set Dungeons. Once you complete and don the full six pieces of any given class set, you’ll receive a clue to track down an ancient dungeon designed just for you and your set.

These completely static dungeons are not randomized, and it’s up to you to decide how to best utilize your powers to complete these challenges. Mastering a set dungeon comes with cosmetic rewards unique to each set, but the truly dedicated can earn even more exclusive rewards by mastering all the sets from one class or even all 24 of them!

 

[sweenish]

The re-worked items and sets will be pretty amazing, too.

I am looking forward to the stash space. And seasonal journey guaranteeing a full set for completing the first four chapters. I know some people will whine about making gearing too easy, but all a six piece does is get you into T6/7. Getting a well rolled ancient set along with all the complementary pieces is the grind, not just getting your first pieces like it was in Diablo 2.

 

[waggy]

yeah the new patch coming sounds good.

 

[PClark99]

I'm feeling kind of burnt out lately, maybe the patch will reinvigorate me.

Then again, I am taking a trip to Boston for a week or two maybe that will help.

You going off the grid? Blizzard will be calling your house.

I'm reading on battle net that there'll be a new cube recipe that allows people to use multiple upgraded gems to upgrade a single gem? If so this could be great. I have multiple level 50 gems of the same type (from season play) and it'd be great if I could fuse them somehow.

On the item conversion - yeah I got to it, but was disappointed that I still need to have a white ITEM to produce reusable parts. I have thousands and thousands more of the yellow item as another poster said.

And in general I guess I missed something this entire time. At around paragon 480 now this season - started late, and don't play that much. But even in grift 45 my exp flies up much faster than speeding T10 rifts. Did I miss something about grifts being WAY better to farm paragon WITHOUT wearing experience gear? I knew experience gear was multiplicative in their bonus effect in rifts but am too lazy to take that route - and never have people to play with really. This could be (single player, no exp gear) because I'm not stopping to pick up anything - but could anyone confirm whether or not grift is just superior exp wise, even at the same difficulty level as a rift?

Big brother is watching me. ;P

 

[lupi]

After about 3 weeks of being so buys I only managed to jump in and do a rift about every third day, finally had a couple hours to go in last night. Also finally got a fifth piece for my multishot build so i can ring the 6 piece bonus and oh my god did it feel like I doubled my DPS.

Now I just need to level the 3 gems to 30 and i'll have 7/9 chapters done.


Now that they are letting season stay separate from non, wish I could put some of my former seasonal characters and items back in.

I only heard about the cube recipe that will allow you to take an upgraded legendary gem, regular gem, and an ancient item. It'll add +5 main stat (str, int, dex, etc.) per each level of the legendary gem you have. So say it's a lvl 50 gem then you'll get 250 main stat added to the ancient item.

Here is a picture of my first stash tab with my inventory and gear. I try to keep the first tab organized.

I am not a fan of GRs.

 

[Ertaz]

I wish you could convert GR keystones to Death's breath.

 

[PClark99]

I wish we could use gold to buy any mats we needed.

Finally got a Swami for my Wiz. Still missing halo and ancient parthan defenders to give me enough defense to go higher than 40 comfortably.

Just in time for Firebird to likely be the new go-to build in 2.4. At least I have the six pieces. Don't have the meteor wand, but I do have a sparker.

This patch is going to be crazy. With the litany set, I think classic pet docs are back as well. Assuming the set doesn't get nerfed too hard.

Cannot wait for the new stash tabs. If I can just have one general tab and one per class, I'll be pretty happy.

Already nerfed down from 800% to 100% per ancient. It's still a pretty good item set though.

 

[4eigner]

I got a bunch of Uber keys. If anyone want to run some TX ubers, let me know. I have 120+ set on Seasons and 70+ on non Seasons.

 

[lupi]

if you're doing them tonight, I'd love to tag along for some on seasonal.

 

[Aristotelian]

Hey guys,

So yesterday I cleared grift 57 solo, but anything higher really pushes the lack of my damage - even in a gg grift for vyr wizard (with 200 stacks). I've converted hundreds of wands, and got a few chantodos, but not even one ancient.

To source the wands I'm using most of my reusable parts to forge them at the blacksmith (15 parts each) and then it's 50 parts to upgrade each.

For any of you in this season - what is the BEST way to farm? I've been pushing grifts and that slows down - when I rush TX10 rifts I don't tend to be able to loot much (or else the vyr stacks drop off).

I need to brute force this - I've been forging 40 wands at a time and upgrading all of them and this uses loads and loads of parts. Even with farming, there has to be a faster way. Converting takes too long in a sense because it's dependent on my finding white weapons during my farming runs - then I use all those to convert thousands of reusable parts, then I need to make the wands, etc.

This might come across as RNG whining but it's not - I just think I'm doing things the hard way. For anyone who has used the cube to upgrade a weapon and had to do HUNDREDS to do it - how did you farm the mats? I can't find any good guides for this.

An ancient chantodo is all I need to break into Grift 60+...which I also need now to upgrade gems.

If anyone at all is playing on EU servers I'm happy to play with you - ggrechbnet#2600

 

[ChairShot]

Cleared a 62 last night with almost 4mins left....

did a 63 and got pummeled into submission and after 10mins in the grift, I was only at 25%.... ragequit

 

[lupi]

All I have left for the seasonal basically comes to getting my gems up to 50 and doing the solo gr50. (also have the second conquest but imagine if you had to you could set difficulty to minimum and clear the game in 30 minutes).

Absolute inability to get anymore ancient gear, particular for the weapon, is seriously sucking though.

Seems like most others playing something else now though cause I can't remember last time I saw more than about four others on at the same time.

 

[sweenish]

I gave up my season journey.

None of my friends were doing it, and I got busy.

I'm still impressed I was able to build up a monk and at least get them T9 capable. Bounties killed me pretty hard. Such a drag trying to solo 25 bounties. A fist of az (or missing shen long) and a restraint could see me trying to finish it, but ugh.

I'm either running HC WD or DH next season, assuming they still put a HC requirement in the journey. Even being careful, HC can easily finish the first four chapters.

 

[PClark99]

gonna have to run season next time to get the stash upgrades

 

[sweenish]

A stash upgrade.

Some extra tabs will be buyable with gold out of the gate. Then you have to play the next few seasons to unlock one additional tab each until you hit the max.
