Is that confirmed about the +XP being the same (as in applying for paragon too)? I saw it rumored but not confirmed

+XP items will work towards paragon levels but the fact that you can only get +24 per item slot and you would be giving up good level 60 for it... it's worthless. You are getting about 3k for a Inferno monster kill so +exp items would be worthless.
But ruby gems with 31% extra exp? Heck yes. |

True, that is a significant boost and also gives a good reason for the Ruby's to be used again. They might even buff level 60's to have +xp also, you never know with blizzard :-) |

I'm pretty stoked about the Paragon system. One of my biggest issues w/ the game is that I would farm for hours and hours with nothing to show for it. Although getting Paragon Lv100 will take an extremely long time, at least I can continue to make progress with my character despite not getting any worthwhile drops. My only problem is that school is starting soon and I doubt I can handle a full course load + work (part time in retail; holiday season coming up) and still maintain a good number of hours into Diablo. :(

I was very bad and just purchased a bunch of Helm of Commands, Storm Crows, and rare helms with empty socket + MF% affixes...Game on!
I'll post some for quick sale for everyone as soon as I look through everything and keep the one's I want. |

I'm betting that the empty socket for XP plus MF will give them some leverage...

IMHO--->
What Blizz needs to do is make an EXP builder like the cow lvl from D2. Whimsyshire sure as poop isn't that answer. Grinding in regular maps is not going to do the job. They are going to have people trolling more so than they do now (on their Forums, not here) -OR- They can introduce some of the EPIC end game content that everyone has been clamoring for since the game was released. |

Jay Wilson hinted that MF% on gear may be phased out in the future. If they were to introduce items with EXP% to replace the MF% affix, that may go a long way to bridge the gap. Imagine having an EXP set of gear with +100% to EXP (or more). The prospect makes me salivate... |

I hope someone does an analysis as to which enemies garner the most XP when killed.

Should we just start the "Favorite Error 37 meme" thread right now or wait until this afternoon/tonight? |

Okay so it's confirmed about the +XP affecting Paragon
This is from the Jay Wilson interview; One question a lot of players are asking is about + experience gems, will this be working with the Paragon system? |

Did anyone else notice that the official patch notes only state MF as being capped at 300%? This literally means gold find can be like 700% at paragon level 100... Blizzard sure loves those botters.

that particular nerf really annoys me, even though I am only between 150% and 225% (depending on gear) so far.
somebody did the maths on this thread and a 50% MF nerf is no big deal on probabilities, but it is still a nerf nonetheless. how about the people who have 425% MF gear now? I don't see why you can't have the remaining 50% MF on your gear. a gem alone gives you 30% MF in a helm, and it's not like you'll need that socket for +Exp anymore once you're level 100. |

Not true With the Paragon system in place, we’re capping Magic Find and Gold Find to 300% (before Nephalem Valor). [Source] under section … What Was That About Magic Find On Items? |

They sure are inconsistent. The actual patch notes do only mention magic find though.
Magic Find will now cap at 300% (Nephalem Valor bonuses will still stack beyond this cap) Patch Notes |

Nothing new for Blizzard being inconsistent ;-) Guess they just forgot to add it into the Patch notes |
