Just wondering if some of you "prepare" for the patch tomorrow?
If so what do you do ?
What do you expect from the market to change?
I bought some Brimstones, cheap legs, some gems, but still unsecure if it really worths it, so I may regret not buying more, but wont regret buying, as it will be useful for crafting anyway.
I usually don't believe in making too much money on a patch day. Even though it's two days until patch in EU, I don't have time due to a full-day event at work tomorrow :-( But if I had the time, I would buy lots of cold spells support stuff (cold damage buff items, Ray of Frost, Blizzard stuff, and so on). I have the feeling that 1.07 could mark the return of the frost wizards. I could also be wrong, so maybe it's a good sign that I don't have time ;-)
Oh, and as I pointed out in another thread, I think Leoric's and other +XP stuff will be pretty damn useless after the patch. Definitely not worth 30m anymore.
I've been preparing for the patch by hardly playing at all for the last few weeks, because I plan to farm like maniac as soon as 1.07 goes like. It's all about pacing yourself
Of course (once again) I should have also prepared by exploiting the market shifts that happened when the patch notes were announced (like buying up cheap socketed Calamities)... but I'm lousy at the AH minigame.

Quote from Blizzard »
Patch 1.0.7 is currently scheduled to release tomorrow in all regions
Oh, I just briefly glanced over that but didn't realize that they patch all regions on the same day. Thought we would get it over maintenance on Wednesday. Nice!
Anyways, doesn't make a difference for me ;-) Can't play before Wed night.
I already got a near perfect wizard SoJ (11% instead of 12% Magic Missile bonus). I racked up about 70 Brimstones from farming and about 1,000 Iridescent Tears, 700 Exquisite Essences and 1,000 Tomes of Secrets. I have 12 Radiant Star Topazes (including what's equipped), 3 Radiant Star Emeralds and 3 Radiant Star Amethysts ready for their upgrades into Marquise, along with a few hundred million gold reserved for those upgrades. I also sold off my life steal weapon upon realizing I don't need a life steal weapon to deal with Reflect, etc. on MP10 with Archon.
I'm prepared for what I want done as soon as possible, and that's making two of those new super Emeralds, one for my Witch Doctor carving knife, and one for my Wizard/Barb echoing fury. I have 4 radiant extra emeralds and the 40 million Gold .
I dont have enough materials for crafting anything so my next two day will consist of farming yellow and legy if possible as many as i can to salvage them all !
You know that pokemon thing? Catch them all ! Now it will be Salvage them ALL !!

The season is underway. Don't know if I'll make it through.
I sold off my 29% Leoric's because running a DPS ring at a higher MP just makes more sense after the changes to exp rates and Demonic Essence drop rates.
I marked all my current auctions down to blowout prices. Hopefully some good drops will come when I'm farming recipes and Demonic's tomorrow.
I bought a crap load ton of stuff but not just to try and flip but for crafting my own goodies. If the price of it skyrockets then yeah, I'll sell but if not then I will use it all to craft my own stuff.

Wise ElderIf you have any complains you can direct them towards the staff. Not in random topics.
Ha. Bagstone.

I've run out of room on my first page it's so full of gems/iridescent tears, brimstones and essences. So I think I'm set.
Don't tell me what's fun!

Wise ElderThat's how I prepare for most things, because I'm a winner and such.
Can't fuckin wait. This patch is a HUGE step forward. Still a ways to go but things are moving along quite nicely.
