Instant Billions in 1.08 (Tomes of Jewelcrafting)

In late March, decided to buy 1 million tomes @ 400-500g/ea on a hunch they were too low and that patch rollouts increase the price of everything.

The price went up. : )

Cancelled a batch of 100k tomes to display the sale.

This is all for naught as a server rollback is imminent

There is a gold dupe going on right now.

We'll see about a server rollback. I wouldn't call it "imminent" without a blue post.

The reason the prices on gems and crafting supplies went through the roof is due to the gold dupe. One doesn't care how much things cost when gold is free... I did sell all my gems and crafting supplies before it was really crazy, but it will probably be for naught. I did gain a couple levels on my HC WD that I would hate to lose in a rollback...

Also sold all my tomes and gems and raked in about 400mil. Ill be okay if thats all lost in a rollback. But my first legendary drop today was an IK chest that was half decent. Gutted if I lose that.

I sold about 45 gems on the ah for 1.7 Bil... makes me sad - I sold them for 45 mil each then they went up to 75 so Im happy they will be rolling the servers back.
I thought it was the price from the HC auction house was overriding the normal AH but I guess someone has to try to break the game any chance they get. They know its going to be rolled back. So why do it? jerks

The longer they leave it the more unlikely there will be a rollback. Terrible day in D3 history.

My windfall has a lot less meaning considering what happened. Very disappointing.
I'm in the "pro-rollback" camp despite having made billions fairly. The market will be in shambles for the forseeable future.

Man, I really despise streamers. A sad day for D3, indeed.

Streamers weren't/aren't the problem. If it weren't for them the duping wouldn't have been so wildly known.

What's surprising is that it took so long for one of these dupes to be made public, everyone knows they've existed but the info was publicly available on how to do it yourself right after the patch.

This dupe was not possible before this patch.

Of course but there have been plenty of others, notably the gem dupe that caused radiants to drop to sub 10M I think end 2012.

I really don't think there was other than the account rollbacks. I try and keep my ear to the ground and stay in all private "hacking" forums just to know the good and bad news going on. Back when gems could stack to 30 you were able to dupe 6,300 gems in a single go counting only your stash.

This was done a lot, and I mean a lot. It was very easy back in the day to have Blizzard reset your account if you were "hacked" and people took advantage of this in mass. It was quite a silly situation and I have no idea why Blizzard took so long to make items account bound after a rollback. Allowing players to dupe over 50,000 of the best gems in a single week.... through the help of Blizzard? Very very stupid.

To be the best of my knowledge this is the first actual ingame dupe, it also makes a lot of sense of why it works. Not that excuses the fact the bug slipped by Blizzard.

I think they actually don't make the gems BoA, only the items, unfortunately.
