Diablo 3 RoS: PTR Character Copy

The option to copy your existing Diablo III characters from your live account to the PTR will be available and can be done directly through the PTR client. However, only one region per account can be copied at a time. So, if you choose to copy characters from your account in a different region, any previously copied PTR characters will be lost.

Step 1: Log into PTR client and create a level 1 character. After you're done, return to the main character screen.

Step 2: Click on the "PTR Copy" button located in the upper right-hand corner. (The PTR Copy button will not appear in-game until you have created a new level 1 character.)

Step 3: Select your region.

Step 4: Click "Copy." This will copy all characters on your account from the selected region.

Step 5: You will be disconnected from the PTR client.

Step 6: Log back in. Your copied characters will be available for play.

Please note that you can only copy characters from one gameplay region at a time. If you choose to copy characters from a different region, any previously copied PTR characters will be lost.

In addition, you can only copy characters over to your PTR account once every 72 hours. Attempting to copy characters before this cooldown is up will result in an error.

How To Find The Murlocket Amulet Guide

The Murlocket is a unique amulet that is an easter egg of sorts. The amulet spawns a Murloc when equipped, which is a popular monster from World of Warcraft. Although the amulet and the Murloc it summons have no real practical use, it is a fun item for collectors or those whom simply enjoy having a cute little pet to follow them around.

This guide for patch 1.0.8, I will update patch notes if it still working.
But now, it working , let find your Murlocket Amulet and summon your murloc

Aside from the low drop rate of the Amulet, it is a rather easy item to farm. All you have to do is head over to the Sewers of Caldeum in Act 2 and find the unique monster - Moontooth DreadShark.

• Moontooth can only be found in the Sewers of Caldeum.
• He is not a guaranteed spawn and the amulet will not always drop either. This means you will have to run through this area few times until you find the amulet.
• He always spawns in similar areas that have destructible debris in a corner. If you have found the right one he will appear and emerge from the rubble.
• Monster Power and Difficulty level do not affect the drop rate of the amulet. Play on whatever difficult you are most comfortable with.

Step by step to find your murlock amulet

Go to Sewers of Caldeum

Find the unclickable barrier

Kill Moontooth Dreadshark

Get your Amulet

5. Summon your murloc

TIP 1: Make your runs on lower mps, magic find has nothing to do with the drop rate.
TIP 2: Moontooth is a rare spawn elite, don't expect to see him everytime.
TIP 3: The amulet is a blue drop, not yellow or orange.

Video (finding Moontooth but no drop..)



Unfortunately the Murloc will not help you fight in battle.

Wizard Blizzard XP Farming Guide

Blizzard XP farming wizard to hit around 115 M XP/hr (Got around 38.5 M in 20 min of continuous play). This build and route will not net you any demonic essences and probably low loot too so if those are your goals this is not the right build.

Checkout Build Calculator

Very similar to the normal blizzard build that’s been circulating around but with 1 major change. Frost nova with deep freeze takes the place of spectral blades because we’ll be skipping elites. Frost nova provides some protection for you against tougher mobs and best of all gives you 15% CrC to generate more CM procs and more APoC procs.

As for the passives I ran astral presence since the density of crater 2 isn’t always as good as shown in the video. For the less dense runs the extra AP regen and ability to store more AP after encountering a mob (you tend to overfill you AP on the scorpion swarms) to increase the consistency of the run. If I had max AP on 2 items and more CrC I would probably go for GC (if I had enough EHP) or blur (if I was lacking EHP).

Build in Action

Very similar to normal blizzard except you’ll be skipping elites. Crater 2 runs work best for wizards since KD2 doors and pathing is too annoying.

Here’s a peak 160M run as an example of it in action. It also includes the gear and my AH tab to show you what I paid for it at the end. Note that in that video I forgot to actually equip my scoundrel which is why he died instantly so I actually missed out on another 3% CrC and 12% XP bonus.

There’s a bit of a learning curve to using frost nova properly, but you shouldn’t have too much of an issue keeping the buff up most of the time whenever you actually have mobs to hit.

Gearing

This is where it differs from the standard blizzard build the most.

General Idea: Don’t worry too much about sheet DPS. Get a hard hitting spear or mace. Stack Int, CrC, ChD and %Elemental. Don’t waste money on IAS unless it’s free. Generally speaking EHP will be more of a limiting factor than DPS since we plan on scaling the damage of blizzard up a lot.

I have 53k sheet with scoundrel. Buffed I’m 91k with 1.2 APS which means my weapon dmg is 76k. 9 s Blizzard will deal 765% dmg and is multiplied by 20% for cold blooded and 29% from frostburns. The total damage from blizzard is 900k or 1035k to demons over 9 sec. Of course mobs won’t always stand in your blizzard the full 9 sec so to determine your max MP you need to cast it on some blood clan dudes and see if they die or not.

I could actually kill stuff on MP6 but the problem was getting enough EHP to match that! I managed to get to 350k within this budget and dropped down to MP5, but I would actually prefer going a bit more since I have to be extremely attentive with this EHP. If you want to play a bit more comfortably I would suggest maybe spending a bit more and hitting 450k+ EHP.

Here are my following gearing choices:

• Shoulders: I went for EHP rares on this piece, getting All res, High Vit, High life% with a bit of int.
• Gloves: Frostburns. Dirt cheap for what they do. If you’re patient you can find 6/30 ones for ~50k. I ended up getting 5/29 for that price.
• Rings: One is going to be your hellfire ring. The other is probably going to be one that provides CrC, ChD and some All res or armor. CrC because we need more procs, ChD since it’s one of our best damage scalers (with the 15% buffed CrC) and defense because we want EHP.
• Weapon: This piece is pretty important and investing a lot of gold into it pays great dividends. Make sure you get a slow black damage mace or spear. The base damage scales great with the % elemental we’re going for. You also want to get as much ChD as well on here. I wouldn’t search for int, but for me this one just happened to have it. I found that going skorn is not worth it. You need the APoC, CrC, blizzard duration and tele reduction on oculus. LoK is a GREAT way to get life return since LoH and LS are both expensive.
• Helm: I went balanced for this piece. Ideally you’d want max AP, APoC, CrC and a socket. APoC is mandatory here. Max AP is great because the density in Crater 2 isn’t always that consistent. Without max AP you only have enough AP for 4 teleports and 1 wormhole. Max AP gives you enough AP to cast your frost nova as well, but I went for astral presence at this budget level to make up for my lack of Max AP and lower CrC. After getting those stats get more defense.
• Chest: Tyreals all the way. The bonus vs demons is nice but we’re mainly going for the MS boost. You want to get as much EHP as you can after that.
• Belt: I also go defensive on this piece. I originally went Innas but felt that the extra DPS wasn’t worth it since hitting the EHP requirements was too hard.
• Pants: Definitely go defensive here. Tons of vit since pants roll up to 300. Try to get All res and armor too.
• Boots: I went for Zunis here. Try not to be noob like me and get yourself an 8% one (d’oh!). All res is too expensive here so I went for armor instead. In retrospect getting ice climbers is a better choice because I still want more EHP and can sacrifice a bit of damage.
• Amulet: Tals is great. We don’t need to get anything other than 6% and high Int/Vit. All res or armor is also needed to help boost EHP Bracers: Another EHP item (seeing a trend here?), but with the caveat that we want 4.5+ CrC.
• Oculus: Not an EHP piece! You want to get pretty good avg damage. Elite dmg means nothing here. Blizzard duration of 2-3 is needed. Teleport reduction of 3+ is needed. It always rolls APoC so yay!

Why not SoJ? Yes it has up to 2 blizzard duration, but 1 sec is only an 11% increase and 2 is 22% increase in DPS if you have a 3 oculus and by 9 seconds a lot of mobs start moving out of your blizzards AoE already. It also has 6% elemental, but we can easily make up for that with other stats. Most importantly it doesn’t provide EHP!

So what’s the message here? Get a good offensive weapon, offhand and frostburn. After that get EHP, APoC and CrC. In terms of EHP the one thing that I didn’t get that I wanted to was %melee and ranged reduction on chest, bracers and amulet. Those pieces are extremely cost effective at mitigation but are pretty rare.

Conclusion

With proper gearing and not worrying too much about sheet DPS, blizzard wiz can get very competitive XP/hr on a budget.

Happy farming!

Diablo 3 Leveling Guide

If you're looking for a great free Diablo 3 Leveling Guide you've come to the right place! With all Diablo games leveling is extremely straight forward. There is a main quest you will follow pretty much to the letter and that is really all that's required of you to level as quickly as possible. Now of course this doesn't stop people from looking for leveling guides and even in some cases buying one. I am however, with the creation of my Diablo 3 Leveling Guide, hopefully preventing you from spending money on any of these commonly fake and misleading leveling guides.

           Let me start off by saying that there is absolutely no reason you should ever invest in a leveling guide for Diablo 3. Even if the person fluffed up each quest in Diablo 3 there isn't even enough information you can have in a guide that would warrant paying money for. If you'd like to pay money for a Diablo 3 Leveling Guide then click the Donate button at the top of the page and donate to me for my leveling guide! Now since Diablo 3 is so straight forward and you reading a guide explaining each quest would actually cause you to waste time and level slower; I am going to mostly give you tips and recommendations on what to do and when to level faster.

           Leveling fast in Diablo 3 is all about killing a lot of monsters and building up a lot of combos. You get combos in Diablo 3 for many different things such as Massacre combos for killing a large amount of mobs in succession; Mighty Blow combos for killing a large amount of mobs with a single blow (channeled abilities work here); Destruction Bonus' for destroying a large amount of crates or some terrain type of items and also using terrain elements to kill a group of mobs, such as dropping a chandelier onto a pack of zombies feasting on a corpse.

           Completing these combos will give an increase in XP which is rather minor but does add up if you keep racking up the combos. Probably the biggest thing in the entire game to help you level faster though is by collecting "Adventuring" items. These items increase the amount of XP that each mob gives to you. Increasing your total amount of XP per mob will give you a significant long term boost in your total experience. A full set of Adventuring gear could actually double the amount of experience you earn per mob that you kill!

           The Adventuring items are only worth going crazy on until about level 15 - 20. Once you reach Act 3 you will want to focus on improving your character rather than leveling faster. So, for the first two acts you will want to make sure you have adventuring gear in every slot and you clear every cave and kill every monster. If you do this you will go into act 3 at level 25 - 27. Those are the few obvious things that come to mind but there are many more little things that you can do or find that will increase your speed of leveling.
And now, here is my Diablo 3 Leveling Guide.

           Before I go into any specifics here let me start of by saying what you will need to make this guide work very well. First you're going to need a friend that you can join so that you can skip over some of the more annoying quests in the game and get right to grinding. If you don't have a friend you can join you can always try asking in general if anyone will let you join them to skip over things but chances are you're going to be talking to some really annoying kids in general so I personally wouldn't bother.

           Another thing you are going to need is patience and the ability to farm the same thing over and over again. Blizzard has been nerfing every single good leveling method as they come up, any quest that is worth repeating gets nerfed less than a week later. This guide isn't going to cheat and use these methods because I personally don't like doing things like that and also I want to make a leveling guide that will forever be effective. So, if you have both of these things you should be A-ok for getting started.

Too lazy to read everything I just typed above? Fear not my illiterate friend! Here is a commentated video just for you!

Levels 1 - 10 (2 - 2.5 Hours)
This part is extremely easy. Really all you are going to be doing is all of Act 1. It may seem pretty lame but there really isn't much you can do to cheat your way past this. You could always have a friend run you through the Heart of Sin Act 3 questline as you stay back and leech XP but not everyone is going to have a friend that will bend over backwards for them. And even if you do, let's face it, it's rude to force someone to do something so boring as that. So let's avoid it.

By now you should probably know Act 1. Our main goal is to get through it as quickly as possible until we reach the Halls of Agony, the final dungeon of Act 1. The Halls of Agony is part of The Imprisoned Angel questline. After you clear this questline and unlock Act 2 you will want to go back and grind this location until you reach level 20 - 23. I will get more into this on the next part of the guide.

To speed up the first 15 levels you will want to stack Adventuring Gear in almost every slot. Just search for it on the Auction House and don't pay more than 1500 per piece. Also be sure to look for some nice core stats for your class (Aka whatever your main stat is and Vitality). Also once you get closer to level 15 search the Auction House for Socketed Gems/Amulet as well as any gear with sockets. You are able to put Flawless Square Gems in level 10 gear which will make you nearly invincible at these lower levels.
Keeping all of these things in mind you will be level 10 in no time.

Levels 10 - 20 (2 -2.5hrs)
The Imprisoned Angel

This is the next range of levels we're going to be plowing through. What we are going to be doing for this level range is focusing on running through the Halls of Agony and killing the Warden/Butcher over and over again. Each run should take 30 minutes and net you a full level. Depending on your class and weapon/how fast you kill the runs might be quicker. After you kill The Butcher before to continue into the room where the cultists are holding Tyreal. Talking to Tyreal will complete another quest which will reward you with even more experience than the quest involving killing The Butcher.

This is the easiest part of leveling up and you'll breeze through it in no time. After you reach level 20 you will be switching quests to The Heart of Sin quest which is a quest during Act 3. This is where having a friend that you can join comes in handy.

If you do not have a friend you can join you're going to be stuck leveling the old fashion way and you shouldn't worry about going back through old content and grinding it out. Focus on doing each quest of the game as you go. If you do have a friend you can join, continue reading.

Video Guide of these levels (you can use this instead if you don't feel like reading)
Levels 23 - 25 (30 minutes)

For this level range you are going to be doing the Heart of Sin questline in Arreat Crater. It may be a bit hard for you to do but with good gear (all rares, socketed with Flawless Square Gems) you should be able to handle it fairly well. If not continue grinding Act 2 until you reach level 25 at which point you will unlock Nightmare.

Level 25

For this level you need to kill Diablo. Have a friend do it for you or pay someone in general to do it. Unlocking Nightmare will speed up your leveling process quite a bit.

Before moving into Nightmare you will want to upgrade every single piece of gear that you have. Also at this time you can probably afford to buy a Legendary weapon which will greatly improve your character's abilities. If you are unable to afford gear for yourself at this level continue to grind Arreat Crater until you are level 30. You'll have some gold which you should invest into a better weapon.

NOTE: When running "Heart of Sin" you will want to select the first part of the quest, logically the "Begin Quest" option. This will allow you to port to Arreat Crater level 1. Here is where you will find the easiest mobs that offer you the most experience with each and every kill. If you don't mind constantly reseting the game after you clear Arreat Crater level 1 reset the game and run it again. Never go further as the XP/hr isn't as good past this level of the dungeon (until you reach the Arreat Crater again later).

Levels 25 - 30 (1h 30min)

When you first unlock Nightmare you will want to quest up to the "Reign of the Black King" quest. Doing all of the quests leading up to this one will get you to 27 or 28 with about an hours worth of work.

After you kill the Skeleton King you will want to keep reseting your quest and running through the Cathedral up to the Skeleton King. These are called Nightmare Cathedral runs. Depending on what your gear looks like you should be able to do a Cathedral run in about 20 - 30 minutes. Each run will net you a pretty good amount of experience. If you want to speed up the process have a friend kill everything for you. Also after you kill the Skeleton King be sure to go into the Desolation Chamber and talk to Tyreal. That will complete another quest and award you with more experience.

Levels 30 - 35 (2hrs)
Another easy set of levels here. What you're going to be doing is farming Halls of Agony (The Imprisoned Angel quest) until you reach level 35. You should remember how to do this from last time so there isn't much new information that needs to be said here. If you have a friend that is willing to powerlevel you and you have the Nightmarish Staff of Herding do Pony Runs instead. They net you 1 full level of experience every 10 minutes.

Levels 35 - 45 (3hr 25/30min)
For this level range you will want to farm The Black Soulstone quest during Act 2. It may be a bit difficult for you but farming this quest will net you the best experience you can possibly get. If you're struggling with anything and have a lot of gold to spend check the Auction House for a legendary weapon for your character. This will make a night and day difference when it comes to leveling up through D3. And a mediocre legendary shouldn't cost you more than 75k.

Once again, if you have a friend that is willing to powerlevel you and you have the Staff of Herding I strongly recommend you do Nightmare Pony Runs. This will net you better experience than anything else. If you have a friend willing you powerlevel you but no Staff of Herding then you should run Act 3 Arreat Crater (Heart of Sin questline) instead.

Levels 45 - 50 (4hrs)
For this level range you will want to focus on the Heart of Sin questline during Act 3. It rewards you with a lot of experience and is very easy to do. If you are struggling here you can do the Act 3 Siege of Bastion's Keep questline instead. Once again, if you have a friend willing and the Staff of Herding Pony Runs will offer you the best experience.

NOTE: When running "Heart of Sin" you will want to select the first part of the quest, logically the "Begin Quest" option. This will allow you to port to Arreat Crater level 1. Here is where you will find the easiest mobs that offer you the most experience with each and every kill. If you don't mind constantly reseting the game after you clear Arreat Crater level 1 reset the game and run it again. Never go further as the XP/hr isn't as good past this level of the dungeon (until you reach the Arreat Crater again later).
Levels 50 - 55 (3hrs)

Get a Diablo Nightmare kill and focus on running Halls of Agony. The Elite/Champ packs will be hard at level 50 but nothing you can't handle if you upgrade all of your gear when you unlock Hell. Start stacking resistances, with 200 All Resist and a decent amount of HP you'll be fine.
If you have a friend and a Hellish Staff of Herding a Pony Run will net you 3/4 of a level worth of experience for 10 minutes of work. I powerleveled a friend from 50 to 60 in just two hours by doing non-stop pony runs. Keep this in mind!

Levels 55 - 60 (4.5hrs)
Depending on how good your gear is and what you can handle you will want to do either the Zoltun Kulle Blacksoulstone Questline or Arreat Crater Heart of Sin questline. Both of these will reward you with great experience for these levels. I would mention Pony Runs again but I think you get the point with how good they are. Another good alternative if you get bored of these locations is the Siegebreaker quest during Act 3. Select the "Begin Quest" part and run it, kill the Siegebreaker then do the first floor of the Heart of Sin quest and then reset the game. That's the best path using that quest.

NOTE: When running "Heart of Sin" you will want to select the first part of the quest, logically the "Begin Quest" option. This will allow you to port to Arreat Crater level 1. Here is where you will find the easiest mobs that offer you the most experience with each and every kill. If you don't mind constantly reseting the game after you clear Arreat Crater level 1 reset the game and run it again. Never go further as the XP/hr isn't as good past this level of the dungeon (until you reach the Arreat Crater again later).
Diablo 3 Leveling Tips

- Perform as many Combos as possible. In Diablo 3 you get bonus experience for killing a large amount of mobs in succession, killing a large amount of mobs with a single ability (can be a channeled one) and also using terrain to kill mobs (there are certain things you can click to say drop a Chandelier onto a pack of mobs)

- Use a lot of "Adventuring" items. This is a type of item that grants you additional experience for each kill.

- When using a Teleporter if you're unsure of what location is closest to your current quest just look for a chalice next to the name of the Waypoint.

- If you are low on health grab the red globes that drop from the mobs you kill, they will restore some of your health!

- Picking up "Lore" elements usually rewards you with XP (I.E Back of the Slaughtered Calf Inn grab Leah's Journal for 120 xp)

- When you first start out stock up on "Adventurer's Gear" as it will boost your total XP earned with each fight
