I love pickup radius. It makes farming just so much easier. Now I can see what I'm getting for it!

Found this on another site so can't take /c/redit.

I love that picture. Also recall that in terms of area, the relationship is quadratic. Area of a circle = pi*r^2. If you're a Thing of the Deep WD with 20 yard radius, you have 1256 square yards of pickup area. Add only a single additional 5 yard radius item (25% more radius) to get up to a 25 yard pickup radius and you're at a 1963 square yard pickup area, an increase of 56% area. Add two 6 yard radius items up to 32 yards and you're at 3216 square yard pick area (60% more radius for 150% more pick up area). For every yard you have, you'll get even more from the next yard.

I wish I could say I was following you there.. but I wasn't.

More is good, I got that :D

Sorry about that. Got excited. Here's the math at 20 yds Pickup Radius or more for Pickup Area.

PU Radius / PU Area / % Increase over 20 yds
20 / 1260 / 100%
25 / 1960 / 156%
30 / 2830 / 225%
35 / 3850 / 306%
40 / 5030 / 399%

The 5 yards you equip to go from 20 to 25 yards gets you 700 more square yards of Pickup Area around you. The 5 yards you equip to go from 35 to 40 yards gets you 1220 more square yards of Pickup Area.

More is good. Yes.

there is 3 yards Pickup Radius by default in 1.07...

i really don't get those people that bitch and whine about having to get pickup radius in your gear.

Well you could bitch a little pre 1.0.7. I remember my DH had none and most of the time I'd run around in circles trying to pick up gold piles. It was bloody annoying!

Stopped farming with DH though, WD all the way with the sexy 20 pick up radius from ToTD!

Awesome. Now I have a feel of distance in yards. I was wondering what does it mean when it says my arcane orb affects enemies in 10 yard radius.

I found that pic, when I was proposing an option in the menu to be able to turn on/off a representation of our pick-up radius.

That is one useful picture. Must have taken quite a bit of time to get it done.

Totally know how you felt--I've had zero pickup radius on my DH since the game came out. I finally picked up a pair of gloves last week that included 7-yard pickup radius. Woo-hoo!! :)

The fact that certain pieces of armor don't have PuR is a deal breaker for me, sure they make me better, but they are not efficient to when it comes down to picking up the gold, and once you get 50ish paragon, gold piles matter, since I have seen ranging from 500 gold to 3,000 gold. If you pick up 40 gold piles averaging around 1,2k you already have 50k gold per run, considering it takes somewhere around 6-10 minutes depending on the length of the run, you make about 300 to 500k per hour.

PuR is huge for me when farming, it also helps with my 3 favourite WD passives: Grave Injustice,
Gruesome Feast & Circle of Life.

My PUR of 51 is up to the entrance in the picture.

So, you could debate that according to this graphical outlay, our characters are between 8 and 10 yards tall?

Fair to say, is it?

I should write a guide about this... although I need to research the topic more.
