Possibly.

I would love it if Magic find also effected the rate at which ilevel gear drops.

Sucks knowing (act 2 for example) has 4% chance of a ilevel 63 dropping. Then you have to factor in Magic find to assume what magic item it is. (modified if killing a champ/elite pack).

I was under the impression it did? Having 100% MF would make an iLevel 63 item drop 8% in Act 2 correct?

 

[fustercluck]

The bolded part is your issue.

It is recommended to aim for 400-500 resists for act 2 and 700-800 for act 3. And your armor is low too. You should be back in act 1 farming gold/gear so you can solo act 2, otherwise you will always require someone OP to run you through acts, because act 3 is worse than 2 and you said you couldn't do act 2.

but but...I don't have much gold :X So therefore I lose the game. I could farm inferno butcher in my sleep but I did that for a full week a while back and didn't get anything worth more than 60k.

I don't think so, as Magic Find doesn't change what 'base' items drop, but rather how those items are enchanted. So magic find would make it so that more of the IL 63 items are magic or rare, but it would not make more IL 63 items drop.

Anyone else having problems adding a Paypal account for the RMAH? I have added it and everything looks good from both ends, but when I try to use paypal in RMAH I get an error saying that I don't have a Paypal account setup yet...

I think a support ticket may be in order, unless anyone has an idea..

 

[darkxshade]

I'm starting to think there's some kind of money laundering going on with the RMAH. I hadn't used it in a while but I ran out of GAH space and my stash was filling up so I figure I put some on the RMAH. I put up 10 items that I farmed that for all intents and purposes, were trash. But I kept them because I could get slightly more on the RMAH than vendoring it. Stash and AH space being limted and all, I randomly put up 10 items for $2 min/$3 buyout. I woke up this morning and sold 2.

I remember having a problem with this myself. I think you need to enable something on your battle.net account settings. I believe when I encountered this problem I just googled the error message that came up when trying to use paypal in RMAH, and after reading a couple threads I was led to my answer. Good luck.

I like it. But selling for 3 dollars, blizz takes such a huge % of what you're getting! I am very hesitant to list anything for under $4.99. what are you getting on those 3 dollar buyouts...a buck fifty maybe? not bad I suppose, better than nothing (vendor)

Same, though i have only sold a few cheap ones and put up many more. But I think people are more apt to pay for things if cheap like that even on a virtual game, even if the items isnt amazing.

If you use paypal blizz takes 15%

If you use Bnet bucks blizz takes a flat $1.

So $3 = $2.55 of paypal and $2 of Bnet Bucks.

really? I thought with paypal blizz took the $1 and also paypal took the 15%. dont know how I missed that

 

[darkxshade]

I opt only for bnet balance since I don't wanna pay the 15% fee up front. I've already said previously that I have a day job and I'm not strapped for cash so this is just petty cash to me so I rather just get as much as I can in the form of bnet balance in the event I can use it later for other Bliz games which would mean I get an automatic 15% discount since I didn't pay the paypal fees. As a result, I'm getting $2/sale.

Can always convert to paypal at any time with the workaround should I ever decide I want to get paid with cash.

No, the Magic find roll and the Item level roll are 2 seperate rolls.

If I am not mistake the order of rolls goes:

1. Item Level
2. Magic level (white, blue, yellow, orange, or on some occasions green)
- Magic find affects this. Also Champ packs and Elites have 1 "modded" item that gets a bonus on magic find so that a 75% (5 stack) will always yield 1 rare+.
3. # of properties said item will have. (Rares can give 4 or 5 properties)
4. What are those properties (Could be X STR, Y Vit + Z Int, % GF, % MF, X All resist + Y Dex)
- There are some limitations though, such as i dont think an item may have both Health on hit and health per second.

So when rolling for a very good legendary or green item, the chances can be seen as extremely slim as the roll has to go through 4 sets. And Magic find only affects one of those sets.

Example: (Unknowing how Green items work, as in i am not sure if certain rares/monsters can only drop them) I will leave them out of the equation for now. (Act 2) [These are made up numbers and are in no way exactly what diablo 3 actually uses as rolls]


Non Champ/elite pack, 0% Magic find

Step 1: /roll 100. IF 1-47 (60- ilevel), If 48-77 (61 ilevel), If 78-96 (62 ilevel), If 97-100 (63 ilevel)
Step 2: /roll 100. IF 1-65 (White), If 66-92 (Blue), If 93-99 (Yellow), If 100 (Orange)
Step 3: /roll 2. IF 1 (X # of properties), If 2 (X + 1 # of properties)
Step 4: /roll [Some really high number]. (This determines what properties, there are many properties per piece and some properties are split amongst 2 stats. Like 40 STR and 30 VIT. When paired with a 55 VIT property the item will read "85 VIT")

Same, and since I can use this balance for Bnet, and I do not own Starcraft 2, my goal is to get enough to purchase it from their site.

The way I understand it is this that for item/equipment sales only, Bliz takes flat $1 for every item sold first and foremost. Following that, if you opted bnet balance you get what's left, if you opt for paypal, paypal takes a 15% cut.

With gold and commodities(non-items). Bliz will take a flat $1 fee *and* 15% then you get what's left with bnet balance, then if you opted paypal, you'll pay an additional 15% on top of that that goes to paypal. <--- this hasn't gone live yet and I may be wrong... it might be 15% bliz fee & 15% paypal(no $1 flat on top) I'm not in game to double check that.

For the poster above with activating paypal issues, i think you have to disable and then re-enable sms text notifications in battle.net.

All items (gear) have a $1 flat fee that goes to blizz. If you then decide to transfer to Paypal, they take %15 on top of that.

Commodities (gems, gold etc) have a %15 fee to blizz. If you then decide to transfer to Paypal, they take %15 on top of that.

Anyone having success selling lower level items on the RMAH? I bought some good stuff for my barb while I was leveling him and Im gonna throw a few up there and see what happens.

None what so ever. I'm 0 for 20 on the RMAH. Trying to sell yellow from level 15-30 but no luck

 

[lupi]

I've had decent luck lately selling good low level rares for 3-i5 times vendor.

Not really surprised. Unless you are an uber casual player level 15-30 is several hours of playing. I can see its a harder sell trying to get someone to spend real $$$ for an item that they will only have briefly.

That was a major complaint about the AH on my first character. Before I hit 60 if an item didnt have a buyout I didnt look at it because my character would outlevel the item I was bidding on over the course of 2 days.

Now once you hit 60 things change as you can't level past your items and people are more willing to spead $$$ or gold on items that will stick with them.

This is true. If they ever have arena's then twink item market will be huge.
