Hello all!
Just started playing a week or so ago, currently level 51 in Hell. New to Diablo series.
Is there a trick to get good weapons outside the AH? I'm trying to avoid using the AH, because I find drops more fun. My weapon has 226 dps right now, yet I'm reading about people with 600, 900 dps at my level. All of my gear comes from drops - perhaps I am lucky enough to get STR/VIT stats on many upgrades. I saw a blacksmithing plan from a vendor that sells for 1.5M gold... and I'm wondering how to get that amount of gold. Right now I have 200k, mostly from picking up gold. I salvage stuffs to craft, but I'm thinking maybe crafting isn't such a good idea (never got more than a couple of usable crafteds in 51 levels), I should vendor instead.
Also, what's up with features in-game that aren't explained in game at all? For the longest time I saw a checkbox "Enable Monster Power" and I thought it's just a little feature to amp up the difficulty for skilled players. It wasn't until I looked at forums and guides and realize it's the "MP" everyone's been talking about and it's a whole new feature disguised in one little checkbox.
