@Anuiran do you get to pick each time you craft?
can I craft 4 rings, each one with a different main stat?
One for DH, one for Wizard, one for Barb, etc.


Yes


dumb question... how do you pick which stat you want?

@Euggie You can pick any of the rings to craft from the Jeweler.

@Venoom it is a test realm, think of it as the Diablo 3 beta. It exists in its own little word and has no effect on anything, there is a gold auction house. However no real money auction house as the PTR is only for testing patches and all characters get wiped once testing is complete.

PTR is up!

Edit: Kinda... it's a bit glitchy

Was anyone able to get on tonight? I have not and I've been trying off and on since they said it was up.

I believe loot will be loot. You can probably trade with other players, but since you clone your current character, the odds of finding an improvement are slim to none. It really is just to help them work out all the bugs for when it really does go live.

can you do anything with your loot? like sell it on the AH?
or is it a separate AH?


It is completely separate ( somewhat you can understand that's 2 different server). That is like 1 way , you can copy your char form real server to test server but not other way around. Anything happen inside Test server is for test server only

To anyone on PTR:
If Blizz is implementing regent and tome conversion i have some questins.
First: is it possible to convert lower tomes to Tome of Secrets?
Second: are they finaly implementing a "create all" button? I'd blow my brains if i'd have to click once every two seconds to create a ToJ (as an example).

to everyone worrying about level 63 items in Act 1 and 2:
Blizzard (Jay Wilson, in an interview) said that you will get those as soon as you crank up the Monster Level to 1 or more.

the 0 level is the super easy one (easier than now) and will not give i63 items.
but all the other levels will.
(current difficulty level is ~ to level 3)

Thanks! Good info.

It will be interesting to know about those drop rates. I hope they flatten them more across Acts at higher mplvl so there's a justification to run any of the acts.

I was able to get on last night and played for a minute. Was also able to go on a little bit ago for a minute ortwo before I logged out. I wasn't able to go back on after though.

@Anuiran Since you've fought the ubers, do you think my Monk would be able to solo uber Ghom and Rakanoth? Our monks have similar stats.

Has it been determined if you can find the keys on normal Inferno or does it have to be on at least monster level 1?

Yes you can solo them on monster level 1. Also magic find dictates the drop rate of the keys.

That's a clever way of rewarding the players farming at higher Monster Power levels.

That's exactly what I'm wondering haha.

I found a stupid Stormshield in the PTR today. First legendary in ages and it has to be on the PTR...

@Anuiran: Do you know by any chance can we equip two different version of hell ring ? ( Like 1 dex and 1 vit ring on the same char since they are technically different rings

I'd bet the name is unique and stats are different. Just like echoing fury have different stats.

lol, at least you know they'll drop for you in 105! (fingers crossed)

Just so people know, and if anybody hasn't seen, you have to have full NV to be able to find the keys.
Posted by Admin DHAdmin on 9/26/12 02:46 PM #47

Just adding too @NightCrawler9's point with the official quotes.

You'll need five stacks of NV in order for the keys and the demonic organ pieces to drop.

We felt this was a reasonable requirement, otherwise players could simply farm the keys in a lower MP, then set their game to MP10 and farm bosses for guaranteed drops. With the five stack, players will at least need to be able to kill monsters in that MP level in order to benefit from the increased organ drop chance.


Currently, both the keys and the demonic organ pieces (Vengeful Eye, Devil's Fang, and Writhing Spine) have higher chances to drop in higher MP levels, all the way up to 100% in MP10.


I wish I could do MP10 at a reasonable rate... 100% drop rate would be nice.

@Anuiran if we play a co-op game together, or join the same public game, and you're MP10 while I am MP0, what happens?

You are in the MP of who ever created the game. So if you join my MP10 game but you have selected MP0, you will be in MP10.

thanks :)

how tedious is it to collect the crafting materials for the ring in a reasonable MP0 to MP4 game?
few hours? several?
