i've been playing diablo for about 11 days now and i went from rags to riches in the first few days. i got rich because i had skill. i'm an experienced player and i know the ways around. (not gloating)
-the best way to get rich (although not the most reliable) is to get items that are either high in demand or rarely wanted. if you have items that nobody really wants and then a rich guy comes along and sees that he needs it for his low lvl dueler or whatever, he'll pay alot.
rich people tend to be impatient so don't waste their time. get to the point and try to get the trade as quick as possible.
ex. there was a game called bring wc weapons. i brought in 2 +3 wc weapons and the guy gave me an ist for them. you can buy wc weapons from NPC
these items include : socketed items(4s monarch, super 4s monarch, 4s armor, 3s armor, eth armors, 4 socket bows, 3 socket tiaras, etc. try to find what is needed and what is not. if there can be a rune word made out of it, try to keep it.
- second, collect gems and runes
i didn't collect gems because i thought they were useless but they are pretty valuable
know the prices
40 p gems = 1 pul
don't settle for less
all runes are pretty good. most runes are required for rune words and rich people will not have a bunch of els and rals stashed in their mules
collect this and sell them off at a high price when you see a guy that needs a couple.
desperation will blind a person's schemata
-don't get yourself into a position that you can get scammed in. unless you can afford it and want it to happen?
until you're rich and don't really care about getting scammed, don't ever get scammed. don't believe the people that ask for items and that say they will brb
don't trade for gheeds or anni because they can't be put into trade screen(drophack etc.
all i did was collect cheap runes and save socketed items and now im worth about 15 ists
but i bot.
anyone can use this strategy and learn
also, stay in trade channel and just learn what everything is worth
people will try to sell expensively, and offer to buy cheaply so the gross price is somewhere in between.
cow games is a great place to find items that can be used as rune words.
