Diablo 3 Item Affixes For Farming Characters

Diablo III Item Affixes For Farmers

Diablo III has a ton of affixes for all of the items within the game.  The term "affixes" covers both the prefixes and suffixes that may appear on an item when it is created within the Diablo 3 game.  Items are assigned random affixes when they are created in game, either as drops off of monsters, from crafting, or when they are available for purchase from the local merchants.  Knowing what Diablo 3 item affixes to look out for to not only use yourself, but also to snatch up and sell to others, will be a big benefit. 

Let's take a look at some of the top Diablo 3 item affixes that are going to help out farming characters.  Farming characters (or Farmers for short) are characters that focus on acquiring gold or items to sell for a profit, be it on the Gold Auction House (GAH) or the Real Money Auction House (RMAH).  The basic function of a farming character, whether farming solo or as part of a group farming team, is to maximize the ability to quickly collect resources from within the game.
Here are the 4 most beneficial affix sets within the Diablo 3 Item Affixes options.  Not only will items with these affixes be optimal for your own farming characters, but items with these Diablo 3 affixes will also be good items to sell on the in game auction houses of Diablo III. 

Top 4 Diablo 3 Item Affixes For Farming

1. Magic Find
2. Gold Find
3. Gold Pick-Up Radius
4. Movement Speed Boost

Farming for profit is all about finding items and gold as efficiently as possible.  The top 4 Diablo 3 Item Affixes for farmers all play into that notion of getting items and gold as quickly as you can, but also work on increasing the quality or quantity of the drops in game.  Let's look a little deeper at each of the top 4 item affixes for farming characters.

Magic Find - Magic find bonuses give a % increase to your chances to find magic items.  Increasing your magic find percentage is one of the best things you can do to have a better chance at getting magic items from creature kills.  When you combine gear that gives a bonus to magic find with a multiple player game, you can benefit from both better loot tables and better chances to get those items to drop. 

Examples of some of the Diablo 3 item affixes for magic find are:

• Karma
• Luck
• Worthy
• Resplendant
• Glimmer
• Glittering
• Dazzle
• Scouting
• Seeking
• Ransacking
• Pillaging

Gold Find - Gold find is another great item affix to add onto any farming character's gear.  Gold find will add an extra % of gold to the total gold dropped from monsters within Diablo 3.  This can be a major benefit to farming gold because every single monster you kill will drop a flat extra percentage of gold each and every time.  If you are farming kills for gold drops, then this is a must have on your farmer's gear.

Examples of some of the Diablo 3 item affixes for gold find are:

• Lucky
• Glittering
• Prosperous
• Golden

Gold Pick-Up Radius - The gold pick-up radius bonus item affixes are also nice additions for farming characters.  In Diablo 3 you do not have to manualy loot the gold off of the ground.  You can just run over the pile of gold and it will be looted for you.  The basic radius for picking up gold is rather small and without a gold radius boost, you have to run just right over the piles of gold to loot them.  With an increase to your gold pick-up radius, you only have to get close to the gold pile and you will collect it.  The larger your radius, the farther away you can loot from, which increases your speed and efficiency for farming.

Examples of some of the Diablo 3 item affixes for gold pick-up radius boosts are:

• Gathering
• Greedy
• Miserly
• Avaricious

Movement Speed Boosts - The final of the Diablo 3 Item Affixes that are ideal for farming characters is the set of affixes that increase your character's movement speed.  Increasing your movement speed is beneficial in more ways than you may initial think.  Not only will you be able to more quickly move throughout the wilderness and dungeon areas in Diablo 3, but having an increased movement speed can be a life saver.  Being able to outrun the monsters chasing you can save your character from death.  Getting killed is one of the major setbacks to any efficient and speedy farming run.  So an increased character movement speed will not onl help you progress through the games levels faster, but could save you from the long run back to where you were should you die.

Examples of some of the Diablo 3 item affixes for movement speed increases are:

• Rapid
• Stride
• Jaunt
• Leap
• Flash
• Quick
• Nimble
• Bounding
• Swift
• Fleet

A combination of all 4 of these Diablo 3 Item Affixes for farming characters will be ideal for creating a quick and efficient farming character to earn you profits on the Diablo 3 dual auction houses.  Look out for items with these affixes on the auction house, the vendors, and as monster loot so you can use some of the gear yourself or toss it on the auction house to make a quick profit.
