Price Checking Guide

Dexterity adds dodge, strength adds 'armour', Int adds resistance, Vit adds health.

Is that confirmed that Armour is essentially all res and etc? I'd be more than happy to add it in if that were the case, it's just it is the first I have heard of it that's all Makes sense, somewhat.

Edit: Just read on a random post elsewhere for 'research' for an argument here on another thread and yes, Strength does somewhat seem to be equal to Armour. I'll consider sticking that in as a desirable mod.

Well it's...

ehp = hp * (1 + armor / (50 * mlvl)) * (1 + resistance / (5 * mlvl))

... so what is more effective depends on the other stat.

That answers the question of how much of a D3 noob I still am

Not everyone knows that I think you can find out by highlighting the stats in the extended stats page, might be wrong though. I thought it came up in tutorial tooltips? One of the two!

Thank you pmpch, I'll add it in.

Any thoughts about current prices /PC's for services such as:
leveling
boss killing/rushinsg
whimsyshire runs

Thanks

America's Wise:

Whimsy depends if there is a Pinata, is it a chest run, are you clearing it, etc. Can be 300+ for a full clear (meaning you both get the elites) but obviously this is pretty rare as clearing it for more than 1 person is just tedious. Chest runs can be 50-80k+ with/without Pinatas.

Levelling services change all the time, but it can be 15kish per hell run or 8k per nm run if we're talking Belial.

Boss killing can vary, usually in ETF these services are offered free if offered at all, but can be different depending on the bosses. Probably Belial Inferno fetches 50kish.

I'm not so experienced in service selling as it's seldom done here on the boards in ETF atleast.

Getting an account-power level will cost millions.

I'll input all of this into the guide at somepoint. Thanks!

Armor, as I understand it, works out to be 1/10th of All Res. So a +200 armor attribute = +20 All Res

How about Crit Chance on helms as a stat? So far it isn't listed.

I'm confused as to how you use the AH to check prices. The listed bids are not necessarily bids, but may only be the minimum bid set by the seller. Once an item is sold, you can't see what it sold for, right? So how is the auction house useful in finding out values?

Am I just supposed to try to set a price that seems similar to what's listed? But if that's the case, there's no reason to believe that anyone is actually paying those amounts.

I just check to see if anyone has bid on the item. If they have then you know it will sell for the current bid at least. Unless you're bidding on the item there is no way, to my knowledge, of knowing what it sold for.
