Diablo 4: New Lead In Search For Secret Cow Level! - An Interesting Encounter

Hi, My Diablo fans! Today I’m going to tell you an interesting encounter about Secret Cow Level.

Diablo 4

Background

The search for the secret cow level has gone pretty cold last week, so there hasn't been many new facts come to light. We know the items are in the game, but we still cannot figure out how to get them.

However there has been an interesting encounter discovered that, could be part of the puzzle maybe. That's what I want to show you in this article here today. Just to throw it out there as well, it apparently took Diablo 3 players about four weeks or so to discover Whimsyshire, which also involved collecting a bunch of items to get to the secret level. And we are approaching the four week mark for Diablo 4. So keep that in mind, it's definitely possible that it's in the game, we just didn't see it before.

An Interesting Encounter

First I'm back at Fountain, in Ked Bardu where our search first started and I just want to review something really quick before we move on to the new material. So Oxen God of the East, it wants you to present a worthy offering, cleanse in these waters and then you may gain their Blessing.

Diablo 4 Oxen

Old Tablet says, spill their blood to be deemed worthy. So we've got spilling blood worthy, and it said that one who presents a worthy offering cleansing these waters may gain their Blessing.

Diablo 4 Old Tablet

So where the spilling blood worthy, remember that stuff. So our hunt for America's most wanted brings us to Jirandai, it's in southern dry steps, there's Ked Bardu, so it's south of that down here. We're in town right over here, and we're looking for this little sign here.

Diablo 4 Jirandai

Travelers beware of deadly threats to be found nearby, powerful legends tell of a savage warrior whose bloodlust was so ferocious it terrified even cannibal tribes. It's a rosar spirit, still haunts desolation's reach searching for a worthy challenge. So there's a worthy challenge again and bloodthirst, if you're lucky enough to win, you'll be rewarded with a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and some Legendary items.

But we'll head over to Zerosar, and I'll show you what's going on. Will no one challenge me, so if you guys just saw that it screams out loud well no one challenged me. There are very few NPCs in the game who yell at you, so this guy is looking for a worthy challenge, it will make you feel chills just sitting here, its nickname is "Spiller of Blood".

Is That A Coincidence?

Remember the crumbling stone, that's in Fountain at Ked Bardu, literally says spill their blood to be deemed worthy. And this guy's nickname is Spiller of Blood, and it wants a worthy challenge that it literally yells out into the world, when you get near it. Is that a clue or a coincidence? I don't have a definite conclusion, but it seems likely that they are using the exact same terms, which makes one wonder.

Let's fight this and just see what happens. So it doesn't not really any threat, I mean I'm on World Tier one just because I don't want to die to some, butit's not a threat in World Tier four whatever you just kill it. So it dropped some gravestone pale dust that I picked up, it drops some Diablo 4 Items, and it always drops this Blood Spiller's Helm. That's useful what's that say Blood Spiller's hell.

Diablo 4 Blood Spiller's Helm

Key part, there is nothing better in life, and to stand alone, painted red, atop a hill made from the bodies of your enemies. So it drops and it's one of those rare guys that drops a unique item. But this guy has so many coincidences with it, that we seem to think we're on to something.

Some Questions

So there's a couple things that could be happening here, do we need to wear something unique? Or find a unique item to be in and then fight it? To be deemed worthy? Maybe it'll turn into an unexpected fight, maybe it'll drop something, do we need to use its Helmet? Blood Spiller's Helmet is here, do we need to wear it to kill something?

We've tried cleansing this, we've tried fighting it with all kinds of different things. Do we need to follow the instructions on the helmet? It said there is nothing better in life than standing alone on a hill made of enemy corpses? Is there a hill like that somewhere? is there a certain pile of bodies you could you have to stand on? I'm sure players have many ways to interpret this stuff, but that's what makes it interesting.

Diablo 4 Secret Cow Level

Something I Have Done

I tried taunting it, like getting close to it and taunting. While using every different emote, I've tried just face tanking it, and using different emotes, I wore some of the other items, that you can confined. But they don't seem to do anything it could very well just be a dead end. But I don't mind doing it, it's also a fun way to pass the time, now it's easy to get to level 100.

So that's where we're at right now, it's just a small little interesting side thing with a lot of words, that match with Fountains statues are saying, it kind of fits together with I mean, go look at what happened with Whimsyshire. How they discovered that secret level and all the different pieces that you needed for, We'll most likely need to do something more complex in Diablo 4, and that's certainly part of it.

If you've seen any piles of bodies any unique places with lots of blood, maybe you need to come get this Helmet. Maybe if you stand on bodies, maybe someone else will come fight you or something, we don't know. It's kind of fun to investigate these things.

Diablo 4: How To Improve Your Gear? I Have Some Crazy Crafting Tricks!

Hi Diablo fans! Today I'm going to share with you some tips that can improve your gear.

Diablo 4

Background

Leveling up a new Rogue, I decided to try a Flurry plus Rapid Fire combo. We had this incident here where, I found a potential upgrade for my Gloves, which usually is supposed to have something like a core skill ranks.

Diablo 4 Gloves

In that case two of them Flurry and Rapid Fire, and then stuff like Crit chance attack speeds. These are usually the top stats you have. And I'm gonna show you how I made this kind of Gloves into something actually really good, that I'm probably gonna wear for many levels. You can also choose some other Gear, which can be purchased with Diablo 4 Gold.

Breakpoints And Critical Strike Chance

You see here right now this Glove is nothing really special, it has one revival fire has been a soft Crit and has a little bit of attack speed, so nothing really great. And I decided to try my luck to try to roll the intelligence to Flurry, so that I have the top four stats on my Glove, and you see that this is item power 612.

A few weeks ago I talked about Blacksmith upgrades and Diablo 4 Items power breakpoints, and there is one at 625. And if you upgrade this pair of Gloves to 625, it will re-enroll all the ranges of all the stats in the next here.

Some Examples

For example, Critical Strike Chance right now has four percent it goes from three to six, and this is like a rather low roll so it's like almost a minimum. But this can be completely random it can actually go to maximum, when you reach that 625 threshold, so instead of this four percent it could roll to six plus it goes to the next tier, so there's a bigger range so that will be like probably up to seven percent Crits, and then you also get the extra power from the Blacksmith upgrades.

So there's multiple things happening at the same time, and the same applies to all of those ranges, so for example the attack speed right now you see is also kind of mediocre, and again this could either roll down or it's going to roll up. It gets completely randomized there's no system to it.

A Pretty Hilarious Incident

Then I use some other trick to really make this a special item for me, but you're gonna see it in a second first things.

I try to roll off the interior to try and get Flurry, and they actually had a really funny outcome here. So jumping forward you can see here I managed to roll two times Penetrating Shot once with one rank and once or two ranks.

Diablo 4 Rapid Fire

So that's a pretty hilarious incident, I'm not even sure why this is even possible because it seems very strange to me this must be something particular to Gloves and those skill rolls. Maybe it can happen with other skill rolls on other items, but for the most part, it's kind of hard to roll certain skill. And hilariously enough on the second roll I actually managed to get Flurry and it also holds one and two Flurries.

A Real Mechanic

So there's like the insane RNG, but it doesn't really matter which one I choose, because it is a real mechanic that I just explained. So at 625 I could pick one Flurry or I could pick two Flurries, it doesn't matter because it gets re-randomized again at that 625 threshold. So then I went to the Blacksmith to upgrade it and you're gonna see it as an action here, so I did two upgrades at 622 and then the third one you can actually see the preview.

Diablo 4 625 threshold

Here it will show you those re-randomized values. And you see here we actually got one of those special cases, where you can get a minus from upgrading your item because of this re-randomization process. So this Critical Strike Chance went to minimums is very unfortunate, but it could have also been the maximum or anywhere in between basically.

You see the attack speed actually went up, so quite significantly from this one upgrade 2.9 percent. This is because it rolls to the next tier of stats and it actually rolled to desertly decent. And also Rapid Fire that previously was one is forced to be two now.

And so is the Flurry so no matter what I would have chosen on the previous outcome it wouldn't matter here. Because in this item power range from 625 to 724, in this item bar breakpoint, there is only two there cannot be any other ranks. But now comes another problem with this item, you see here I can only have four upgrades, and this is because this is a normal Legendary and not a sacred or Ancestral Legendary.

Diablo 4 Ancestral Legendary

So I cannot actually get this two to three ranks and this is actually what I try to accomplish here, and I realized this in that moment I was like. But there is a way around that and that is with Imprinting so you see here I have a sacred Legendary Aspect, and Magnus utility aspect that I tried to put in my Glove, I saved this one up for a next upgrade.

WOTLK Classic: What Should We Prepare for Phase 3 Crafted Gear

In many games, a new tier of content often means new crafting recipes. When Phase Three is released for the Crusader class in this game, it will come with new patterns for blacksmithing, tailoring, and leatherworking. These patterns are specific to those three professions and are not available for other professions like enchanting or alchemy.

It's a good idea to prepare for the new content by stocking up on crafting materials or even making a profit by selling them on the auction house. By doing so, players can take advantage of these new patterns and craft valuable items that can help them progress in the game for more unique rewards and WOTLK Classic Gold.

The new recipes for crafting in the game include chest and braces that are very useful for players. To craft these items, you will need tight and still bars, as well as Crusader orbs.

These orbs are similar to Rune orbs from a previous phase but can now be found in Trial of the Crusader instead. You can also spend the new emblems on them, but it's not recommended unless you are hoping to make a profit on the auction house. The same applies for leatherworking, where Arctic fur and Crusader orbs are needed, and tailoring also has new patterns available.

WOTLK Classic: What Should We Prepare for Phase 3 Crafted Gear

The type of armor that you need to craft will depend on the role of your character, whether it is geared towards DPS, healing, or tanking. For example, for tanks, you may need to use a combination of typical crafting materials like tight and still bars, as well as Crusader orbs.

However, there may also be some unusual materials that you need to prepare for. It's important to check the specific requirements for each piece of armor that you want to make and start stocking up on the necessary materials.

In the game, certain armor pieces like the Breastplate of the White Knight and Saronite Sword Breakers are highly sought after due to their excellent stats. The braces, for example, have bonuses to hit, defense, and dodging, while the breastplate offers defense, dodge, and parry stats as well as multiple sockets.

To craft the braces, you'll need eight Titan steel bars and four Crusader orbs along with a stack of twenty saronite bars. As for the chest, it's a bit trickier as it requires 12 Titan steel bars and eight eternal lifeswitch, so you'll need to prepare accordingly by stockpiling the necessary materials.

To craft certain armor pieces in the game, like the Breastplate of the White Knight and Saronite Sword Breakers, you'll need to gather specific materials. For the breastplate, this includes 12 Titan steel bars and eight eternal lifeswitch, while the braces require eight Titan steel bars, four Crusader orbs, and twenty saronite bars.

Additionally, for some items, like the breastplate, you'll also need two Majestic zircons, which are Epic gems that will become available in phase three of the game. To prepare for this, you can stock up on Titanium to prospect for the gems or simply save up emblems or honor to purchase the gems directly. However, you'll still need the craft recipes to create these items.

In the game, crafting armor pieces like the Sunforge Braces and Sunforge Breastplate require a bit of luck as you'll need the crafting recipe. These items are especially beneficial for Holy Paladins, with the braces providing bonuses to haste, mana, spell power, and a yellow socket, which is useful if you haven't been able to obtain Binding of Winter Gale from Hodir 25 Hard Mode. Be aware that Crusader orbs are also required to craft these items.

In the game, you can obtain everything you need to craft the Sunforger Braces and Sunforger Breastplate. To craft the braces, you'll need 12 eternal life, eight titan steel bars, and four Crusader orbs. For the chest, you'll need 20 eternal life, ten titan steel bars, and four Crusader orbs.

These items are good for Plate DPS and have bonuses to crit and armor penetration, making them desirable for Frost DKs and Warriors. However, crafting the chest also requires four Deadly Saronite Spurs, which are created through blacksmithing using two crystallized air and seven saronite bars. It's a good idea to start stockpiling these materials now, along with the required titan steel and Crusader orbs.

In the game, crafting the Sunforger Braces and Sunforger Breastplate is not too difficult, but can require some preparation. These items can be reliably sold on the Auction House, especially the braces which only require one Vengeance Binding to craft (along with 12 saronite bars and one Eternal Fire).

The chest and braces, along with the other Sunforger armor pieces, also require enchanting materials like Nerubian chitin or Abyss crystals, which can get expensive. The chest requires four Crusader orbs, Arctic fur, and ten eternal life, but does not require Abyss crystals. Consider stockpiling materials to craft and enchant these sought-after items, as they can fetch high prices in the game's economy.

MLB The Show 23: 3 AL Central Players Should Be Added to Diamond Dynasty Mode

It's been a while since I was able to continue my roster of diamond players. But what else can you expect after San Diego Studios dropped their MLB The Show 23 Tech Test? Right now, I can only leave my PlayStation and come back to this list by turning off my power.

In my opinion, I'm a sucker for Diamond Dynasty mode on MLB The Show. I really want to figure it out on how to improve the strength my online dynasty team with past, present, and future cards, or I won't be able to sleep at night. That being said, there are plenty of great cards to add to MLB The Show 23 to make your gaming experience even better this year. If you want to obtain those awesome cards, you can get them with MLB The Show 23 Stubs to help you build your team and enhance your gaming experience.

With several solid cards already present in MLB The Show 23, the American League Central Division is a bit tricky to deal with. However, we will never back down. There are 3 past AL Central players. In my opinion, they should be added to this year's Diamond Dynasty mode.

Albert Belle, Cleveland Guardians

MLB The Show 23 Albert Belle

Throughout his 12-year career in the major leagues, Albert Belle was a total tank. If you don't believe it, just ask Fernando Vina. In more than 1,500 games he has played in, he has hit 381 home runs with 389 doubles, a .933 OPS, a .295 batting average, and 1,239 RBIs. His career is relatively short, but there are many achievements, including winning 5 Silver Sluggers, finishing in the top 10 of MVP voting 5 times and making 5 All-Star teams.

The best and most impressive aspect of Albert Belle's career was his eight-year tenure in Cleveland. In Cleveland, he hit 242 home runs with 751 RBIs as a righty slugger. In 1995, he hit 50 home runs, 52 doubles, 121 runs, 126 RBIs, and a .317/.401/.690 slash line. In the seven years from 1992 to 1999, he averaged 39 doubles, 40 home runs, 125 RBIs, a.969 OPS and a .302 batting average per season.

This matter is actually very simple. For Albert Belle, a Signature Series diamond card or Face of the Franchise will be an excellent match. If you can give him the connection and the strongest power, you can face him in online matches throughout the season.

Jermaine Dye, Chicago White Sox

MLB The Show 23 Jermaine Dye

For Jermaine Dye's career, you might often overlook it. However, it actually leaves a deep impression. He had a total of 1,779 hits in more than 1,700 matches he has played. Among them, 1,072 RBIs, 363 doubles, 325 home runs and an .826 OPS were included. Through unremitting efforts, he won many honors for himself, including a Gold Glove Award, Silver Slugger and two All-Star appearances. His four years with the Chicago White Sox, from 2005 to 2009, were his best years.

Jermaine Dye began his tenure in the White Sox with an impressive campaign. In 145 games he played in, he hit .274 with 29 doubles, 31 home runs, 86 RBIs and an .846 OPS. And, in 2005, he helped the White Sox win the World Series. Then, he ushered in the best season of his career. With 27 doubles, 44 home runs and 120 RBIs, he slashed .315/.385/.622 a lot. At the end of the season, he had a top-five finish for AL MVP. And this isn't his first All-Star appearance, but his second All-Star appearance. And he also won a Silver Slugger Award.

By the end of the year, he won't necessarily be in your endgame lineup. However, I think there should be a card for him in Diamond Dynasty. And, he's a really good fit for a 2006 All-Star Series card.

Johan Santana, Minnesota Twins

MLB The Show 23 Johan Santana

As a Minnesota Twins legend, Johan Santana should have a Diamond Dynasty card in history. Otherwise, I really cannot accept this reality.

In 2000, Johan Santana's major league career officially began, although his first two seasons were not very stable at the beginning. However, two years later, in 2002, the Venezuelan native began to show you his full potential, and it was out of control. From 2002 to 2007, he had a 2.92 ERA as a lefty, along with 1.026 WHIP, 3.11 FIP, 9.8 K/9, a 154 ERA+, 294 walks, 1,289 strikeouts and 90 wins in 166 starts (1,179 IP).

In the three years from 2004 to 2007, Johan Santana followed the Minnesota Twins and has made 3 All-Star appearances, and also won a Gold Glove Award and two Cy Young Awards, and finished the top ten of the AL MVP voting twice. With the New York Mets, he finished his career. Then, he made another All-Star team. In 2012, he threw the team's first no-hitter.

If you're a New York Mets fan, you'll argue with other fans for the Johan Santana diamond card in MLB The Show 23, and that's obvious. However, this card must have a Signature Series version of Twins. Either way, Johan Santana will be your pitcher for the last game in the Diamond Dynasty rotation.

FIFA 23: How To Build An Excellent Team With Celtic Players

As one of the most popular sports computer games, FIFA is loved by many gamers around the world. Recently, a football simulation game called FIFA 23 was released. In this game, there are more than 19,000 players from 700 teams, and they will play in more than 100 stadiums.

As one of the oldest and most popular football clubs in the world, the Celtics has led the Scottish Premiership for decades. Today I'm going to discuss how to build an excellent dream team in FIFA 23 without investing in Celtic players.

FIFA 23 Celtic Players

How to Build a Great Team

First, if you want to build an excellent team, you need to focus on their characteristics, not their rating. On the pitch, thanks to their performances, such players can help their partners more on the pitch than other players who are rated higher and have the same energy.

For this, we can take the defender Presnel Kimpembe as an example. In FIFA 22, despite his rating of 83, he is in great demand among connoisseurs of the simulator. The reason why he is so popular is because of his high speed, which allows him to catch up to the opponent's attacker very quickly. In FIFA 23, there are actually many cards. If you only look at it from the rating, then it is difficult for them to be regarded as stars. However, they tend to be very effective on the field.

How To Get A New Player

If you want to solve this problem, it's actually very easy to do. The fastest way to get them is to use FUT 23 Coins. If so, then you have to use your coins in FIFA to make an excellent team.

Now, I'll introduce you to several ways to build an excellent team. Such a team also allows you to easily beat the competition without affecting your budget.

Tasks In Ultimate Team

If you complete certain tasks in Ultimate Team, you'll regularly receive some special rewards including player cards and coins. Let's take a specific task as an example: when you play as a German Bundesliga player, you need to provide a certain number of assists or score a few goals with long-range shots.

However, in many cases, even if you complete this specific task, you may not necessarily get the highest rated player. Don't worry about that, though, as tasks of this type tend to be short-sighted: through the Squad Building Challenge, you can replace unwanted players with useful ones.

In my opinion, doing this kind of task is actually a bit like playing online poker or other gambling games. Because after you complete this kind of task, you will be very happy to enjoy special rewards in the future and get some high-rated players. But that joy can only be compared to the joy of winning at a slot machine or poker table.

Squad Battles

In this mode, if you have enough coins, you can get suitable top players. To do this, you need to play the game with other teams, which are managed by built-in AI and real people. To balance the chances, you can choose an opponent that corresponds to your squad's level. If you get nervous playing games against real players, this is a great option for you.

Squad Building Challenge

In the special SBC mode, you can get those high-rated players by completing quests to collect squads with certain conditions. For example, this could be the mandatory presence of four English football players and a team rating not below the required rating.

As long as the task is more complex, the reward will be better for you, and it will appear on one or more than one player card. If something requires you to complete a series of tasks of increasing difficulty each time, then this reward may be the most valuable.

However, this method also has a disadvantage, that is, you need to spend a lot of time and effort to get this valuable reward. However, if you already have a lot of players, but they are difficult to sell. You don't have to worry about that as SBC guarantees you to exchange them for a more popular card.

For the first time, this new mode has appeared in the newly released FIFA 23 simulator. In fact, its task is very simple, that is, you have to complete the corresponding requirements in the prepared game situation. For example, assisting a pass or scoring a goal from a cross, then you can earn stars which allow you to get another set of players.

Dream Team With Celtics Players

Next I'll show you the highest rated Celtic players and information you can use to build your dream team in FIFA 23.

Players, Rating And Features

  • Aaron Mooy – 76 – An excellent game of small pass
  • Callum McGregor – 77 – Dribbling and high speed
  • Cameron Carter - Vickers – 74 – Good selection and high speed
  • Carl Starfelt – 73 – Good physical condition and fierce play
  • David Turnbull – 75 – Passing accuracy and ball possession
  • James Forrest – 73 – and Fast acceleration and high speed
  • Joe Hart – 76 – Good reaction
  • Jota – 76 – Acceleration and high speed
  • Kyogo Furuhashi – 75 – Fast acceleration and high speed
  • Liel Abada – 73 – Fast acceleration and high speed

Since the establishment of the team, Celtics has won 21 League Cup, 40 Scottish Cup and 52 league titles. In addition to these championships, the team also won the European Cup.

MLB The Show 23: Diamond Dynasty Will Add Some New Features

Spring training is just around the corner. The MLB players gradually returned to their old ways, and baseball seemed to gradually return to its former popular state. Just over a month later, MLB The Show 23 will be released on March 28. We're very happy about that, because we can get back on the baseball diamond.

For now, we already know that this year's cover athlete will be Jazz Chisholm Jr. At the same time, we also know that new features have been added to the game this year. When it comes to new features, I think you need to know that this year's MLB The Show 23 is getting some new changes to the popular Diamond Dynasty game mode. And, these new changes are all we know from the cover athlete himself Jazz Chisholm Jr.

MLB The Show 23 Diamond Dynasty

If you don't know much about the Diamond Dynasty game mode, but want to create your ultimate dream baseball team in this mode, you can use the player cards you have collected to help you create. In fact, Diamond Dynasty is very similar to Madden Ultimate Team in Madden and Hockey Ultimate Team in NHL. Their goal is the same, and they all require you to do your best to create the best baseball team and compete fiercely with teams from all over the world. Next, I will introduce you to the new features added in Diamond Dynasty game mode in MLB The Show 23:

Get 99 Overall Players On The First Day

For some of the new features already revealed to you on Twitter, Diamond Dynasty from MLB The Show 23 will be included. Currently, the biggest new feature among the new features that have been announced is that you can get 99 overall players on the first day you play. The reason for this modification is that you tend to spend a lot of time getting those players, but a better version of that player will be released in a few weeks. This new feature successfully solves that problem, and you can't get a better version of the 99 overall card. If you've got 99 overall players, you don't have to worry about better versions of the card coming out in the future.

Sets And Seasons

This time, San Diego Studio will also add some other things to the game, namely Sets and Seasons. If a new card enters Diamond Dynasty, it will have a Set attached to it. Additionally, seasons run every 6-8 weeks. In each season, its Diamond Dynasty mode is specific, such as Conquest and Ranked. This requires you to create a squad with players acquired this season. However, if you have a very strong team, the players on that team cannot continue to dominate on the same team. So, you can only build a new squad with the players you acquired in that season, which makes Ranked and Conquest of each season very competitive. Well, if you want to be the best, you need to work hard every season. However, there is one more thing you need to know, and that is not every game mode in Diamond Dynasty is like this, in other Diamond Dynasty modes you can use players as you like.

Captaincy

In addition, there is a new feature called Captaincy. With a Captain, he can make your dream baseball team grow from strength to strength. For this, the first thing you need to do is add the available Captain Series players to your team, and then designate them as Captains. If the Captain Tier requirements you fulfill as a Captain, you'll be able to give your crew stat boosts. If you like creating synergy in your team, then this feature is for you. When you use it correctly, the stat boosts you get from this feature will give you advantages over many other teams you face. In my opinion, this feature is really interesting and will definitely change the creation way of Diamond Dynasty teams in MLB The Show 23.

It will be interesting to see the feedback when these new features make their way into Diamond Dynasty. If the feedback is mostly good, there's a good chance some new features will remain in future franchises. On the contrary, if there is a lot of negative feedback, then we can wait and see what San Diego Studio does after this year and see if they will make any changes to the game mode. If the studio does not change it this year, it's possible that it will be changed in the next year's MLB The Show video game. Either way, we're excited about these new changes, and we're sure you are too. Let us look forward to their performance in the official game!

What You Should Know About Guild Traders In Elder Scrolls Online? - 2023 Beginners Guide

Today, we're going to talk about Elder Scrolls Online guild traders. I'll be going over what a guild trader is, where to find them, how to price your items, how to use a trader, and which traders will get you the most sales. By the end of this articlr, you'll be well on your way to building that hoard of gold you've always wanted. Let's jump right in.

Guild Trader Intro

Most of you probably already know what a guild trader is, but for all you new players out there, or for anyone who just hasn't had much experience with trading in ESO, essentially, guild traders are places where you can list your items for sale or buy items that other players have listed.

ESO Guild Traders

When you list an item on a guild trader, you're charged a small listing fee. Then, after your item sells, the guild that owns the trader takes a modest cut off the top, and the remaining gold is mailed to you. The guild's cut is then put toward the next week's bid to keep the trader, which can often be upwards of a million ESO Gold.

As a matter of fact, in some of the bigger cities, like Mournhold and Wayrest, traders can even go for 20 million ESO Gold or more each week! That is one heck of a lot of corn flower, folks.

Where To Find Guild Traders?

Guild traders are pretty easy to find if you know where to look. If you're just looking for a trader to buy from, you can go to any major city and find this icon. Typically, cities will have several traders all clustered in one area. You can also find individual traders out in the wilds in pretty much any zone.

I usually try to purchase from a trader owned by one of my own guilds if possible, as it helps us win the next week's trader bid. If you're looking to list an item at your guild's trader, you can either go directly to that trader or to any city's banker. We'll use the banker method in this article, as it's generally the most convenient option.

How To Price

Before we get into how to list an item, I'll go over pricing. Figuring out what price to use when putting up your item up for sale can be a complex topic, but I have a few tips for you that will hopefully serve to simplify your price analysis.

First, you should be a member of a guild that has a price checker embedded in their Discord or Band server. Next, I'll show you how the price checker works in the DoT server. So, I'll just scroll down here to the crafting area and click on the price check channel, then I'll type forward slash price to bring up the command, then I'll type in the item I'm checking and hit enter. It's that simple.

ESO example 1

As you can see here, this motif has a median price of about 10k and an average price of just over 11k. I like to list my items somewhere in between the median and the average. I don't really have a specific reason for doing it that way, but it seems to work well and will usually result in a sale for me.

If you don't have access to a price checker on Discord, another option is Tamriel Trade Center. You just choose your region, select the device you play on, then type in your item. I've found that it's best to click the suggested text when it comes up to be sure your search goes through correctly. And here is the downside to Tamriel Trade Center. There aren't many item listings for console, and the listings that are on here are usually pretty old.

ESO example 2

As you can see, I'm searching for some items that are traded fairly often in game, and the listings are few and far between. You could choose to look at PC prices, which will usually give you a sort of ballpark price to use on console, but PC prices can often be vastly different from those on Xbox and Playstation. For these reasons, I highly recommend joining a guild that uses a pricing bot associated with your chosen game server. While there are a few other online options, I've found the Discord price checker to be the easiest and most consistent method.

If for some reason, you're having trouble with either of these methods – maybe the item you're trying to sell doesn't come up because it's a brand new drop. Then, there is one other method you can use, although it's not as cut and dry.

When I'm in this sort of situation, I simply go from trader to trader in a few major cities to see what my item is being listed for by other players. I'll then take an average of those prices to determine how I list my item. Once you've figured out the approximate value of your item, there are a few secondary strategies you can use based on how soon you want the item to sell.

For example, if you don't necessarily need ESO Gold right away, you could list your item on the higher end of the estimates to get as much for it as possible. On the other hand, if you're really scrounging for cash, you could undercut the estimates and hopefully sell quickly.

How To List An Item For Sale?

Now that we've gotten pricing out of the way, I'll show you how to list an item for sale.

First, you'll go to a banker. It does have to be a stationary banker. You can't access guild traders on portable bankers, unfortunately. Fingers crossed for ZOS to give that to us in a future update! After you talk to the banker, select the Guild Store option. Before trying to list your item, make sure you have the right guild selected by pressing Y.

ESO example 3

Next, use your right bumper to switch to the Sell tab. As you can see, I am SLACKING with only 5/30 slots filled on this trader. You really want to try to keep all of your slots filled to maximize your gold making potential.

Now, you'll want to scroll through your inventory and find the item you're planning to list. I'll go ahead and choose this Welkynar Swords motif since we already have an idea of how much it's worth. I'm going to put it up for 11k because I'm not really strapped for ESO Gold at the moment, but I still want to make sure it sells.

Here's a little bonus tip for you though – always end your prices in 99. This might be a little petty, but the house cut and the listing fee both go down by 1 gold when I do this, meaning I'll get one more gold for listing this way. One gold is obviously not going to break the bank, but over thousands or tens of thousands of transactions, it adds up!

Which Traders Will Get You The Most Sales?

So, which traders will get you the most sales? Well, those 20 mil + traders don't command that kind of gold for no reason! Traders in cities like Mournhold, Wayrest, and Elden Root are going to get you the most consistent sales, but keep in mind that the guilds that own these traders are almost invariably going to charge weekly dues in exchange for access to them.

Honestly though, I get plenty of sales without listing my items in those locations. I've found that, as long as the guild trader you're using is in a cluster with at least four or five others and is close to a wayshrine, you won't have any problem selling.

If you're a guild master watching this and you're not sure which trader to bid on, think about it in terms of convenience for your buyers. More people are going to visit traders that are conveniently located three or four steps away from where they load in. And the more people who visit your trader, the more sales you're going to receive.

WoTLK Classic Phase 2: How To Get Your Gearscore Up To 4200? - Less Than 10 Hours!

What is Gearscore? Simply put, Gearscore is a system tool designed by the community to help players determine their character's strength during the game. Therefore, Gearscore can actually intuitively show the numerical value of all the players' current equipment.

Now that WotLK Classic Phase 2 is here. It's time you pump up your Gearscore to get into raids without breaking a sweat. I just digged 80 on a fresh Paladin and this is an old door looking for players tomorrow. But the message says they require 4200 Gearscore. Luckily, I've mastered the Gearscore formula and I know exactly how to export it. We'll just need to use my secret methods to pump up our Gearscore over 4,200 in less than 10 hours of gameplay.

Gearscore Secrets

Diving into the code, I've unlocked the secret key to Gearscore. There's actually different multipliers per item slot. The big ticket items are the weapons, the chests, the helmets and the legs. Meanwhile, the least relevant items that are jewelry and bracers and also there's a huge rarity penalty for items that aren't Epic. That means even if we have a best blue Trinket, we need to swap it to pump up our Gearscore to make it easier to plan your upgrades.

I've made a dynamic Gearscore Calculator. So, we know the formula and the weights per item. We know our primary goal is to get Epic Items in every slot while prioritizing weapons chests and legs.

How To Get Your Gearscore Up Fast

So, what's the best way to get our Gearscore up fast? Starting with our fresh 80 Paladin. Powerfarming full Hateful and Wintergrasp gear will give us a great baseline. Wintergrasp must be your main priority and don't forget the Weekly Quest, either.

I'm also adding in Furious off-paces, PVP jewelry Trinkets and a crafted weapon from the Auction House. All that gear will easily net me over 4,100 Gearscore. The best part is that the total farming time for all this PVP gear is under 16 hours. But wait, I'll explain how we can skip pieces and have our farming time coming up with my shiny new Gearscore.

WotLK Classic Phase 2 Honor Costs

Gear Farming Tips

I'll be able to run Titan Rune Dungeons to replace PVP pieces with better PVE Epics. My biggest priority is the Daily Heroic Dungeon quest, which gives five Emblems of Conquest. Emblems of Conquest can be used to shore up weak PVP slots, like your leg or your helmet.

You also get Emblems of Valor from Heroic Dungeons and the Daily Normal Dungeon Quest. Let's save these Emblems up and use them to purchase Bind on Pick-up 213 gear. If for Valor, I recommend prioritizing slots, like your shoulder and your back.

We can also fix up slots, using raw WOTLK Classic Gold. There are amazing adopted boots and belts in the Auction House at 232 item level. There are even raid BoEs, like chest and gloves for high rollers. And plus don't forget the jewelry vendor. You can actually wear two types of 226 vendor rings for bonus Gearscore.

How To Fill In Your Weakest Slots

And now, let's quickly fill in our weakest slots with all the phase one raids. You'll actually get 25 man loot from the 10 mans, which means 213 gear and up to 226 weapons. And don't skip out on 25 mans, either. You'll get extra loot and the runs only take two hours during your World Tour. You should definitely prioritize soft reserving those 226 item level weapons.

Now is your most impactful slot. And you can't purchase them on the Auction House after your World Tour. We're looking at over 4,200 Gearscore with less than 10 hours playing.

Join Vault of Archavon Runs

I've also personally made a habit of joining Vault of Archavon Runs every week.

WotLK Classic Vault of Archavon

Emalon 10 Man drops two 13 item level gear while 25 mans dropped 232 PVE and PVP pieces. And those pieces will absolutely skyrocket your Gearscore.

Do 10 Mans First

I highly recommend doing the 10 mans first. The gear is way less competitive. Plus every new upgrade will take your Gearscore through the roof. On my Druid last week, I even got a 245 item level staff that raised my Gearscore by an insane 265.

And once you've done your 10 mans, you should be caught up and ready to join any 25-man group you see forming a trade chat. However, before that you first need to make sure you are gearing up in your Titan Rune Dungeons as efficiently as possible.
