Farming in Reaper of Souls: Crafting, Legendary Materials, and White Items?

I want to know this too.

The lack of stash space was PURELY to force you to use the AH. "Hey I have no space i might as well sell all this crap". They are keeping the reduced stash space because they have forgot the original reasoning of the reduced stash size. Hopefully then wake up and realize the reason for their original decision!

Thanks for the linkage! Well that's going to make it a bit more of a pita for lower level crafting.

Thanks Flux for featuring my thread. I just updated it with new information about the Mystical Source. Thanks to Nobbie now we know who's our target when we want one. I'm sure no ponies were harmed during his or her "research".

We still need more info about the Frozen Blood and the names of some plans that use these materials. If anyone could us out with these then please post in my thread. Any help would be appreciated.

Vendor items \"aka whites\"? Do you mean that only whites that are found from drops can be salvaged? Would be nice to see a link to what you\'re referring to because salvaged whites play a huge part in a ton of the current crafting recipes. Because on the face of it what you\'ve posted doesn\'t make sense.

And the Flux\'s article isn\'t referring to salvaged whites, we\'re talking about specific white items being required as recipe ingredients. A white Archon belt (cannot be inferoir) being required to make a legendary belt craft, for instance.

The discussion was about crafting materials. Someone asked specifically about white items, as currently the most effective means by far of getting debris is by buying and salvaging storebought whites, a concern that's been echoed elsewhere. I said vendor items aka whites because there's little need to purchase the other items for salvage mats as generally, you find enough of those from drops (or vendors could not help you, or both).

A blue responds with this:

Yes, that isn't directly related to needing a specific white item but if you need specific white items, as well as general white items as salvage mats I suspect they will become more of a bottleneck.

Playing the beta I\'ve had to buy a ton of blues to salvage into Archon Dust. It\'s needed for crafting recipes as well as enchanting. If they make any vendor purchased item non-salvageable it\'s going to make crafting as well as enchanting quite a bit more difficult imo. Every game I start I check the vendor closest to the blacksmith for cheap blues, if she is selling something in the 5K or under range I\'ll buy a bunch of them just so I can build up my Archon Dust a little bit.

Well said, I agree and hope that Blizz dev\'s take note of the above.

From the way you talk it occurs to me you might NOT have played on the PTR. Stacks have been increased to 1000 on most crafting mats and all the pages from the going dead regular, NM, Hell modes are all converted to Tomes... Gem stacks are also increased to 1000... What was a \"full\" 3rd tab of only crafting mats from \"production\" became just over a 1/3 of a page on the PTR.
