Review of Diablo 3 Billionaire guide

Is Diablo 3 billionaire worth it? I review it

The market for guides to Diablo 3 is huge and it can be a jungle. So I decided to take the plunge for you and check out one of the most talked about guides so far: The Diablo 3 billionaire

What's in the guide?

The guide is pretty much access to a member's only area which is constantly updated. There are guides for everything, while some of it is a bit lackluster, but what is good, is really good. The guides can be split up in three sections: -Leveling -Farming guides -AH strategies

D3 Billionaire - the leveling part

This is the weakest part of the guide. It is very basic stuff about what the different skills do, what are the good stats for your class and an overview of the interface and runthroughs of the different quests and boss fights. A lot of time hasn't been spent here, and thank god for that. Diablo 3 isn't known for its difficulty at the lower levels. It is pretty much a rail road hack and slash action RPG, so most of the time you can usually only run one way. So a guide to the "story" is pretty much useless. So the leveling in Diablo 3 bilionaire is only of use to the absolute beginners. The boss fight videos are pretty kewl, once you hit Inferno. Here skill might actually make a difference, so it is good to know how to progress against a boss. I give this 4/10

MF and GF farming sections

Now we get to the more meaty parts of the site. Here you have your standard farming runs with good written guides and maps. While the routes aren't that innovative, it is very good to have all of them in one place. One thing that is really good in the farming parts of the Diablo 3 billionaire guide, is that the different farming runs have a difficulty attached to them. This makes for a quick sorting of which run to do today. This section isn't anything new, if you have followed the farming scene for a while. But again, it is very nice to have all of the different sections in one place, so you save time. I give this part of the D3 billioniare site 7 out of 10.

The AH strategies section of the D3 Billionare site

This is where the majority of the time on the site has been spent. There are a lot of strategies both on the RMAH and the gold AH. The great thing about this section of the site, is that the strategies start right at the bottom of the ladder, so you can slowly build up your fortune. There are strats for fortunes ranging from 100k to several millions and all of them are solid. If you are interested in boosting your AH presence and starting to dominate the AH, then you might be interested in getting the guide. Again, you might be able to figure out these strategies eventually, but spending the 40 bucks on this guide, will save you much wasted time on the AH, so if you are the least interested in optimizing your online time, then it is money well spent. If you are interested to know more about this guide, check out Diablo 3 farmings Diablo 3 billionaire review. He does a great job of giving a very detailed and honest review of the guide. So if you have a doubts about spending money on the Diablo 3 billionaire guide, then check out his site.

Demonbuddy and the rest of the botting scene in D3

Botting in D3-Demonbuddy and friends

Demonbuddy and the other bots in Diablo 3 are a PITA, that can’t be eradicated. Running bots is incredibly easy, takes little once it is up and the rewards can be huge, especially with gold selling in the RMAH a reality. But what to do if you are interested? Just how hard is it to bot?

Demonbuddy – The pack leader

Diablo 3 farming wrote a piece on bots, including Demonbuddy. I got my attention drawn to this piece of software by Diablo 3 farming, who did an article on Demonbuddy . The company that makes demon buddy, also wrote the very successful honor buddy bot in WOW and now they have released their version of a bot for Diablo 3. Like with any recently acquired tool, there is a learning curve, although easily done. Setting it up can be easily done, and although stability has been an issue, they are working on it, but overall it’s a pretty sweet piece of kit. Demonbuddybot doesn’t tamper with the code, it’s much harder to get busted by Warden.

Immortal Bot – the hardcore bot

Immortal bot is the dark sheep of the bots. This bot alters the game in a very intrusive fashion, so to get the most out of it you must have it running all the time until you get banned, which is going to happen. The biggest benefit to having an injecting bot, is that it can read the whole map before it is revealed, it sees mobs off the screen, and it can bypass the 10 second log out! Farming something like Dank Cellar, going 10 seconds faster of a 30 second run makes a huge difference in the overall gold per hour.

Autoit, the easy option for fast botting in Diablo 3

AutoIT is used to automate mouse moves and keyboard clicks on the PC and can also be used for Diablo 3. Downloading a program like MacroGamer enables you to easily set up a quick script for farming static areas like chest spawns. Like DemonBuddy it doesn't inject, but rather copies and replays keystrokes, so it is very unlikely to get you banned.

Closing thoughts - Demonbuddy takes the prize

Taking a quick look at the bots on the market, Demon Buddy comes out ahead. It has a great interface, easy to bot Diablo 3 with and the support and community is pretty great.
