My turn! I'm not eligible at all (although my main is a Wizard, I'm at 63% uptime with him, due to playing some DH and Monk last months).

- You must main a wizard, e.g. approximately 80% of your playtime is on your wizard (80% is arbitrary, but basically most of your play time should be on a wizard).
Fail. I'm at 63% right now, due to playing some monk and DH last couple of months. But who knows ? Maybe Jaetch feels sorry for me being a low-medium wizard for months...

- You must have a fresh wizard, not a paragon 100 one crawling around Inferno.
Somewhat fail. I'm paragon 40, with some hours spent... So not fresh, but not P100 yet.

- You must have <40,000 elite kills in your total play history (I can adjust this number according to my own discretion).
- You must use this set yourself (i.e. do not give the set to your needy friend).
Ok, agreed!

- You must not sell this set for profit. I will keep track of your battletag and I will be watching you and the items via DiabloProgress and D3up. Don't mess with my generosity. When the time comes and you want to upgrade individual pieces, I will understand. Point is to use and learn from the gear set.
Ok, agreed too!
Anyway, here is my guess: 530 Millions gold coins.
Battletag: machado#1633
And, even if I don't qualify or win, this set has some very interesting ideas, and it's worth to put this on D3UP for comparison purposes. I'll see if I can do that and post a link.
@Bribous & Zero - You guys can guess, but how does it feel that even if you guess the EXACT number, you still can't win?
And just patting myself on the back; looks like I timed this giveaway perfectly with the new patch. Winner will be announced at the end of the week and my Archon video guide should also be completed by the weekend as well (no guarantees, just Soon™).
@Bribous & Zero - You guys can guess, but how does it feel that even if you guess the EXACT number, you still can't win?
No problem whatsoever! Just by creating the build on D3UP I will be able to learn something useful, like, why the inferno couldn't I reach this kind of DPS so far ?

Hehehehe, I guess you have some kind of insider information!
EDIT: You could link the build on your first post, I guess it would help people to analyse the set...
EDIT2: Like I said, I've learned a few things already from this set. I'm about 60 Critical Damage low and 24% Attack Speed below the set. If I add this stats to my char, I can get to the 250kDPS (or very near) as Archon.
Why can't I win? Is it because of the % played with her (only 35%)?
Everything else fits iirc.
Oh shoot, my mistake, I could've sworn you were EU for some odd reason. Yeah, you're definitely qualified.
And the play requirement is arbitrary, though most of the time should still be on your wizard compared to the other four classes. I guess I'll reword that part once I get home.
While my profile says that only 36% of my total time is on a Wizard, I've been pretty much only been playing my Wizard since about October, which feels in the spirit of the competition. Feel free to DQ me, I just want to guess. (Zephyron#1237)
that's a nice giveaway, but there is somthing clunky about eligibility, if you want a fresh 60 wiz, and aomeone that played 80% of is play time on a wiz, how can he have 40k elites kill I mainly played wizard yet I only have 12k on paragon 21...
so I don't know if i'm eligible i'm a paragon lvl 21 wiz with 90%+ played on wizard, (353hours closest is 59 with DH) and 12k elites kill
i'll guess 200 million?
@Adkhean - Gotta provide your battletag to participate! And I never said you had to be fresh as in paragon 0 fresh. And 40K elite kills is sort of arbitrary, but I based it on what I see amongst most active wizards.
i'm feeling so stupid right now to have missed the < signe before 40k xD figured it was impossible otherwise - -_--
well I miscalculated it says 74% of totalt playtime on wiz, but I've played like 350+hours on wiz and less then 60 on the second one (DH) Am I still eligible?
You're eligible. Just state your guess. Are you set on 200M?
Added spreadsheet of current eligible contestants, seen here, also available in the OP.
- No purchase necessary - Check - North American server - Check - One guess only, but you are free to edit your "guess" post. - coming soon
- You must main a wizard, e.g. most of your play time should be logged on your wizard compared to the other four classes. This is not for people "converting" to a wizard solely for this contest. I will judge based on profile, kills, gear and paragon level, but you can argue against me/attempt to convince me if you wish and I'll look further.
Main is a wizard if you look at play time, but I decided to Plvl my barb a few months ago when I realized it would be much quicker in cheaper gear. The thought was I could hit 80-100 on the barb then use her to MF/Gear the wiz.
- You must have a fresh wizard, not a paragon 100 one crawling around Inferno. Well I started in beta and hit 60 first week or so after launch, but he's low in the Plevels...No 100's I work alot :>
- You must have <40,000 elite kills in your total play history (I can adjust this number according to my own discretion).
Kinda sad, again played since beta but less than 15k..
- You must be an active wizard and not a loser This one is tough.. as I only use for cm for Ubers anymore since everyone else out-paced me in gear doing Plvling and scorp runs. I'd like to play the wiz again if the farming is as efficient as the barbs and other classes have been.
- You must use this set yourself (i.e. do not give the set to your needy friend). No problem.
- You must not sell this set for profit. I will keep track of your battletag and I will be watching you and the items via DiabloProgress and D3up. Don't mess with my generosity.

- No purchase necessary, You're sure you don't need my bank account pin to transfer that fortune you inherited from Nigeria?
- North American server Aekys#1669 Can't link url yet
- One guess only, but you are free to edit your "guess" post. (715,123,456 gold) I have no idea to be honest and i can't use the ah to do my homework. Will edit if it get back up before contest expire.
- You must main a wizard, e.g. approximately 80% of your playtime is on your wizard (80% is arbitrary, but basically most of your play time should be on a wizard). My wizard is my main at 287 hours. My Dh follows behind at 193 hours but i haven't played with it in ages. It was my first toon and is retired.
- You must have a fresh wizard, not a paragon 100 one crawling around Inferno. At paragon 68. Painfully grinded at mp0 in a3 for many months.
- You must have <40,000 elite kills in your total play history (I can adjust this number according to my own discretion). 28,800 elites kills. I honestly don't know how many of those belongs to my DH.
- You must be active in the wizard community. If not in the past, it's not too late to start now. I tend to lurk on these forums to look at news and build/videos people post. I don't like to post unless i have something interesting to add or a question to ask that i couldn't look up the answer on my own (unless asking for opinions)
- You must use this set yourself (i.e. do not give the set to your needy friend). I intend to use this gift for myself if i become the chosen one!
- You must not sell this set for profit. I will keep track of your battletag and I will be watching you and the items via DiabloProgress and D3up. Don't mess with my generosity. When the time comes and you want to upgrade individual pieces, I will understand. Point is to use and learn from the gear set. Alredy decided that any pieces i would change or upgrade I would be giving them back to you to help you build another set or build a give away set of my own
While I dont need all the gear, some of pieces are upgrade to my current set. Such as pants, boots, ring, weapon and especially gloves (I couldn't get a decent craft, even though I crafted 150+ pairs of gloves).
Just in the off chance you decide to change the restrictions of having your mage as the most played character on your account I thought I would post up my bid. Having this set up would make me change to my mage without hesitation. I think you were able to get your entire set up gems and all for 204,680,911 gold. Thx for your time/consideration
aww I rerolled mage in 1.7 so my playtime isnt up there. my monk is even devoid of most gear. (gave away half his gear in a stream giveaway with a friend)

Can I post my guess here, Jaetch? Or do we have to put it on the official forums?
