patch 1.0.4 in a nutshell

[TehVoyager]

Hey there. the purpose of this thread is to quickly highlight changes in this patch in regards to what we do here at this site, hopefully reducing the number of question threads that arise. off we go!

• Fixed a bug that allowed players to see properties of unidentified items.

It would appear that the Unid tool is now obsolete, and the Unid market may start up again, eventually. i personally doubt it will ever be at the level it was before the unid bug.

• Sarkoth <Hoarder of Treasure> has had his loot quality and health adjusted slightly
• Quill Fiends in the Dank Cellar will now drop less additional gold (but will still drop more than other Quill Fiends) and should now properly turn hostile when confronted by a player

Sarkoth Botting may have recieved its final "nail in the coffin". depends on the new drop rates.

• The lone Champion Shaman in the Demonic Trebuchet is no longer considered a Champion
• The treasure goblin spawn has been removed from the Road to Alcarnus
• Reduced the chance of a skeletal Rare pack to spawn in the Cemetery of the Forsaken from 50% to 20%
• Decreased the chance for multiple Sigil rooms in the Gardens of Hope (Tier 2) to spawn at once

Self Explanitory nerfs.

• The first and third levels of Leoric’s Dungeon now have a total of five Uniques that can be spawned

TBH im not certian if this is a buff or a nerf. my gut reaction says its a nerf however, as i remember hitting about 4 champ packs per floor, and now it would appear to be 5 total between the two.

• Destructible objects now have a chance to drop items again

Could this mean a return of Crypts farming? more research necessessary.

• When a player cancels out of a Trade window, any items that are under the player's cursor will also be cancelled
• A two-second delay will now occur when clicking "Accept" in a Trade window if either player makes any changes to their offering

Hopefully, this is an end to trade scamming.



Unlisted change:

• Captain Hale's Supply Chest no longer drops gold

omg, really? REALLY???

K done reading patch notes. until servers come up and we start seeing bug reports on the official forums and such that's as much as we got.

I'd appreciate if some folks could update with new approximate levels on the sarkoth farm, and check if crypts farming is possible again.

They killed black market gold sales

[TehVoyager]

I dont think so. just because .25c is the baseline, doesnt mean its going to hit the baseline

besides, botters and gold sellers can still sell THROUGH the rmah.

additionally, im sure they will find something else to sell just as effectively.

I saw the price per mill for $1 lower than blackmarket gold price.

Exactly, it means no black market for gold as they will just sell it through the RMAH. Unless they sell the gold even cheaper through black market trades

Items.

*]The treasure goblin spawn has been removed from the Road to Alcarnus

Ancient Path goblin is removed aswell. Actually no mobs spawning between Ancient Path waypoint and Desolate Sands checkpoint now.

well Sarkoth/Dank Cellar is not utterly worthless..... tried to run him and resulted in about 200GPH (before hitting limit) so where are we gonna farm now ?
