Diablo 3 info

Launched in August 2011, Diablo 3 Professions aims to be your #1 source of Diablo 3 economy and auction house information. Information here is free. Ever wonder how people obtain 100,000 gold? 500,000? 1,000,000? There are plenty of terrible gold making guides out there. Any one knows they can farm things for money. We give advice mostly centered on crafting and playing the auction house. This takes way less time to do than farming and brings in a whole lot more gold and frees up your time to do other things. We will be bringing you news about the Diablo 3 economy, teach you about the real money auction house, create professions leveling guides, and discuss strategies on making insane amounts of gold and cash.

From data-mined information, the Blacksmith artisan can convert up to the next tier/difficulties materials at a 10:1 ratio. It will also cost 100 gold per conversion, although this might be a placeholder and subject to change. Also remember that there are 10 artisan ranks.

So for example, 10 common scraps, a normal difficulty crafting material can be converted to 1 assorted fragment, a nightmare crafting material.

What if you want a single reusable part, from hell difficulty. That means you will need 100 common scraps to get there.
What if you want a single valuable component, from inferno difficulty. That means you will need 1000 common scraps to get there.

Once you unlock all these conversions from leveling the Blacksmith artisan, if you need a certain material, it would be wise to do the math on whether to buy it as is or do a material conversion to make the one you need. A spreadsheet will help with this.

Diablo 3 will launch with 5 playable classes. As of Blizzcon 2010, all five have been revealed.

The Barbarian and Witch Doctor were shown with the game reveal, in June 2008.
The Wizard was revealed in October 2008 at Blizzcon.
The Monk was revealed in August 2009 at Blizzcon
The Demon Hunter was revealed at BlizzCon 2010, October 22-23, 2010. Prior to the official announcement, the fifth class was widely-expected to be an archer class. [1] (See details below.)
