Do cube or gamble for rare Circlet?

Hi

The

Recipe: Low Quality Rare Item of Same Type is widely used to try to create good rare

Diadem (as it may roll with any affix even with iLvl 1 - because of the magic level and quality level)

You could instead dump a lot of gold on Gamble and try to get some rare

Circlet/

Coronet (as long as you have enough level to guarantee L90 affixes - L92 in the case of

Circlet and L87 in the case of

Coronet)

On paper the second option seems cheaper :

- gamble:
1

Ist = 10 MM gold = ~59 "magic/rare shots" =~ 5.9 "rare shots"
OBS:
- You have ~10% chance to gamble a rare item.
- I'm considering the gamble cost of

Coronet at L92 (~$168 gold). You can get even more "rare shots" if you gamble a

Circlet (~$119 gold) and/or if you use Edge or

Gheed's Fortune to reduce the prices. And a litle few shots with a higher level ... (as the price will increase a little...)

- Recipe:
1

Ist = 14-20

Perfect Skull = ~2.3 - 3.3 "rare shots"

As

Perfect Skull is not used for other things... shouldn't the demand for gold be higher than the demand for

Perfect Skull? Or am I missing something?
(it seems to me that is easy to buy/sell

Perfect Skull and sometimes you struggle to buy/sell gold...)

(And as far as I known as long as you have enough Level to roll all affixes that you want on a

Circlet, a

Diadem will only give you a little more defense in comparison )

Judging from the piles of gold left untouched in high level games...

yup. You got your answer there.

Unless they allowed monetization to buy pets that auto picks up gold...

Just use the infinite gold bug.

- People have GF barb
- People use gold to gamble material item for crafting
-

Perfect Skull are used to add socket to rare item
- People prefer

Diadem for the look

Extremely unwise waste of SoJ when rush to socket costs

Um.

Tell me more

The only infinite money trick I remember involves the "Holiday special effect" that cut prices by 50%. But who knows when it will happen again...

Stone of Jordan for 1-2

What do you mean by this?
You mean that to gather piles of gold efficiently you need a specific build (and maybe specific farm spots)?
This looks to me as a good explanation why

Perfect Skull are more common on trades than gold
On my personal plays (which are not focused on farm Gems or Gold and include many areas), I could gather enough

Perfect Skull to trade for

Ist many times, but only once or twice reached 10 MM to sell

I don't think this is good reason... You can upgrade the rare to Exceptional (

Tiara) and then Elite (

Diadem)

A gold find barb running

Travincal can make over half a million gold per run. Not to mention probably find some good stuff at the same time too.

Not in the case for rare items... rares can roll with up to 2 sockets (magics can have up to 4, 3 in the case of

Diadem)

no sir.. its the base not the rarity.

For rare items, it's a combination of the base, its ilvl, and the affixes. Sockets on magic/rare items come from a prefix (Mechanic's = 1-2, Artisan's = 3, Jeweler's = 4), though a prefix can never add more sockets than what the base allows. For rare items, only the Mechanic's prefix is available. Artisan's and Jeweler's are only available on magic items. Therefore, rare items can never have more than 2 sockets, regardless of the base.

Only

Mechanic's Add 1-2 Sockets

can appear on rare items

Artisan's Add 3 Socketd
Jeweler's Add 4 Sockets

Can only appear on magic items

And cube formula or

Larzuk quest will only add 1 socket to rare items.

Base just cap the max sockets (a Jeweler's

Diadem will have 3 sockets, a Mechanic's

Wand can only have 1 socket)

"Big! Big

Cleaver killing all my friends. Couldn't stop him, had to run away, couldn't save them. Trapped in a room with so many bodies...so many friends...noooooooooo!" Farnham, the drunk.

"I know more than you'd think about that grisly fiend. His little friends got a hold of me and managed to get my leg before

Griswold pulled me out of that hole.

I'll put it bluntly - kill him before he kills you and adds your corpse to his collection." - Wirt, the peg-legged boy

This is obvious intentional exploit of a bug, which Blizzard's ToS explicitly calls a cheat.

Do it at your own risk. I don't think there's actually much risk of being banned for this, but I'm not an authority on the matter so don't quote me on that.
