[Guide] Puzzle Ring Goblin Farming

The 1.04 Puzzle Ring has a chance to summon a Goblin when the wearer is hit. A lot of aspiring goblin farmers want to know how it works to gauge it's value. Here is what I've found by testing as well as a guide on how to use it with your MF group.
Current Function:

• The Goblin spawn has a 15 min internal cooldown
• The cooldown expires even if you aren't using the ring (So put it on, kill the goblin, and take it off for 15 min while you use a better ring)
• The cooldown is applied to the character and not the ring
• The goblin spawned will be a 1st act goblin of the game difficulty (I.E. in any act of inferno, an act 1 inferno goblin will spawn)
• The inferno goblin can drop ilvl 63 rares (I've picked up a few myself, don't know if it can drop ilvl 63 set/legendary however)

I found that the cooldown is applied to the character who was wearing the ring when the goblin spawns by wearing 1 Puzzle ring, spawning a goblin, then wearing a 2nd Puzzle Ring. With this information I present this guide for goblin farming groups.

Group Farming Guide:
Instead of all 4 players in the group using a Puzzle Ring, a group of trusted friends can swap 1 ring around to spawn 4 goblins per 15 min. This way only a single goblin spawns at a time and can be easily handled, and the initial investment is much lower. I have tested this with a friend, and can confirm that a single ring will spawn multiple goblins within the 15 min cooldown when shared among the party. Enjoy!

Have everyone in the group equip the ring once prior to starting the run. Equipping the ring seems to start the initial 15 min internal cd.

[C++] Diablo 3 OOP framework

The developer of it lost his interest to D3 for now, so he decided to release his work.
You can find source here: https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/darkd3/

Framework has next features:

-OOP memory read/write
-actor handling
-actor attributes
-scene handling (no navigation though)
-UI handling
-SNO reader
-some auction data
-started doing camera stuff

As for game interaction there are 3 options:

-Remote thread with TLS copy
-APC (uses Kernel driver and crashes wow from time to time due to synchronization issues so cannot be used actually, but if you manage to get it working perfectly - please let me know)
-DLL injection

[Guide] How to increase your DPS by 2k-10k

I've known this bug for a while, but never told anyone cos blizzard would fix it. It took them 3 patches before they realized. I'm making this public now since this bug no longer works in 1.05. Enjoy the free dps while it last

P.S. If you have a manticore this will boost your dps by at least 8k minimum

THIS ONLY WORKS FOR 2H RANGED WEAPONS
You must have the following items, anything with +% element modifer
Ex. I used Stone of Jordan and Inna's Favor, the more the merrier
Buy a PURE DPS XBOW with as HIGH DPS AS POSSIBLE (IAS DOESN'T COUNT AS DPS)
I bought a 1540 DPS Blue Xbow for 10m off the AH.

Step 1. UNEQUIP YOUR MAIN BOW(must be less PURE dps than your "pure dps" xbow)
Step 2. UNEQUIP YOUR INNA'S FAVOR, STONE OF JORDAN, ETC
Step 3. EQUIP HIGHER DPS XBOW
Step 4. EQUIP INNA'S FAVOR, STONE OF JORDAN
Step 5. REPLACE PURE DPS XBOW WITH YOUR MAIN BOW
Step 6. ????
Step 7. You'll notice a increase in your DPS depending on the dps of your Main bow.

The reason this works is because inna's favor's factor in its dps the first moment you equip it. So you can still change weapons and and keep the "+elemental dmg" of the previous weapon.

I use a 1487 dps xbow w/ Dex. So this only gives me like 2-3k dps. Not much but it's better than nothing. But for those using a 1050 dps +dbl socket + Dex manticore, you'll notice a HUGE increase in dps(8-10k)

So for those that thought using manticores would gimp your DPS via elemental dmg, you guys are terribly mistaken

ENJOY

Best way to get a lot of experience fast

* Best way - Monsterpower 10

If you got a friend that is 60:
½. High lvl creats a game in act 3 on MP 10
1. Go MP 10 Normal lvl 1-25
2. Go MP 10 Nightmare lvl 20-50
3. Go MP 10 Hell lvl 50-60
Use helm that got sock (lvl 15) then at 28 i think get cains set. and if you know one or can buy, buy the Leroic ring 20-30% more XP

That takes about 4-6hours

I've done solo lvling before 1.05 and i find exp bonus gear helps a lot.
What I usually do is (assuming you have about 1M gold)
play act 1 up to lvl 11, buy the best magic gear on ah
When you hit lvl 15 buy a socket helm and socket weapon, put ruby
I dont have it but leoric signet will help at this point too
When you hit lvl 21, I wear my Cain's Fate set (helm, pants, boots) with all the sockets
and I just upgrade everything else every 10 lvls.
When you hit lvl 41, you can also buy a ilvl 63 items that has lvl requirement reduced for 19 (not sure if 19 was the highest or 20)
I bought a 1K dps socket weapon with lvl reduce 19 long time ago so I just keep using this around when I want to l
Around this point I put amethyst gem on my weapon cause life on hit will keep you alive cause cain's fate set is lowering your stats.
Then you can 1 shot everything and hit lvl 60 around hell act 3
I guess it can be faster if you also wear leoric's signet.
I did lvl 1 to 60 in about 6 hours.

Havent done it since 1.05 so I dont know how monster power will have an affect for this way though.

What does the Blizzard Agent.exe does and what is it?

What is Agent.exe ?
Agent.exe is a new tool, created by blizzard, to help you download faster updates and patches. It offers automatic peer-to-peer (p2p) connection between everyone who is currently downloading or uploading the update or patch which you are downloading.
The file is not hazardous to your computer. You can see that by checking the VirusTotal scan.

What is Agent.exe for?
It's needed by applications such as World of Warcraft and Diablo III to properly run. It makes connections to the official blizzard update servers and also to all of the peers which it discovers. This is why, if you do a netstat, you will see connections to Verizon and such.

How do I stop Agent.exe?
To stop this process, you can simply press CTRL+ALT+DEL and navigate to the Task manager, find the Proccesses Agent.exe*32 or Agent.exe*64 and press Del to close them.

Problems with Agent.exe
I've heard several people having problems with Agent.exe while trying to play WoW on a linux based OS with WineHG (yes, you can play mist of pandaria BETA with WineHG on linux, like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and so on). The trick is that you have to start Blizzard agent manually ($WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public/Application\ Data/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.749/Agent.exe --nohttpauth) before starting installation (wine "World of Warcraft Beta Setup.exe").

Another issue which was reported is that your computer might not be able to turn off right after you have played Diablo III Beta. The reason is that the agent.exe is still running and doesn't lets you automatically close it and shut down the computer. You will have to kill the process (as mentioned above) to fix this problem.
