Farming In Diablo 3
Making gold and real life cash in Diablo 3 is going to very heavily geared towards grinding out killing the same creatures over and over and over again. We call this Farming. We will be creating games, jumping into dungeons, and farming the creatures within these dungeons in hopes of great gear drops that we can sell on the in game auction houses of Diablo 3. Collecting the gold and junk items that are dropped by the various creatures in Diablo 3, will also be a viable option for Diablo 3 profits. Since Blizzard is going to be allowing the sale of gold as a commodity on the auction house, this is just as important. Although options for flipping items on the Diablo 3 auction houses will exist, the majority of players are going to making their cash from farming gold and items.
Diablo 3 Farming: Solo Or Team?
The big question that is yet to be determined is whether it will be more profitable to farm dungeons and creatures as a team or as a solo player. In the past Diablo games, adding more players into the dungeon increased the power of the creatures and minions contained within the dungeons. Along with this extra damage and survivability, came increased gold drops and better item loot tables. If this holds true in Diablo 3, then multi-player farming teams will be the way to go.
Some questions to get answered before completely making a decision on teaming versus solo farming are:
- Are creatures going to have better loot tables in multi-player dungeons like before?
- Will looted Diablo 3 gold be split among the players in the dungeon or close to the gold source?
- Will there be a random roll to determine who gets the items that are dropped or will it go to the first player to run up and drop it like in Diablo 2?
Regardless of the answers to these important Diablo 3 questions, there will exist gold farming cartels. We just don't know yet if those cartels are going to be more profitable than adventuring and farming as a solo player.
Are you planning on implementing a 3 or 4 man farming team or are you going to tackle Diablo 3 solo?
