Nightmare pages start droping and hell tomes start droping.

im in at the keep in Act III.. so any time now??

Nope...Nightmare.

The pages start dropping in A1 NM, the tomes start dropping in A1 Hell.

Higher difficulties have higher chance of dropping them, yes

ahhh... well crap. i guess i will just wait. (I refuse to buy anything from AH - i feel like its cheating and will shorten the game for me)

Has anyone got a legendary blacksmith pattern drop yet? I am curious as to what you got it off of.

Yeah I would suggest waiting until you get to inferno to mess with the AH too much. The nature of selling stuff makes the mid level items super cheap.

I don't blame Blizz like many people seem to though... it's the free market at work. If Blizz didn't do it, someone else would.

it could've been better though. they made normal mode very easy and have access to AH? overkill. makes the game less replayable, the jewel crafter and blacksmith gets ignored for the entirety of the game. but then again, whoever uses it right off the bat is only cheating themselves

This is very true.

I remember the D2 market.

When Vamp Gazes first dropped they were going for @ 100$...

Now they're like 2$, I think? Wouldn't know...I got mine in "vanilla".

That being said, the market is going to do what it's going to do...You can't exactly prevent that.

I personally, haven't used the AH at all, I just blacksmith all of my gear.
