So even though my Diablo III days are mostly over, it did have a nice surprise for me when I clicked through to preorder Mists of Pandaria. Turns out, you can use your Battle.net Balance to pay (or partially pay) for the expansion. Theoretically, with a bit of grinding, you could completely fund your purchase through nothing but DIII play.

As you can see from the screenshot, I've got a ways to go with that, personally. What about you? Any plans on ramping up the time in Sanctuary to fund your continued Azerothian adventures?

Gold is king

As in WoW, the primary resource that makes the world go 'round is gold. There's no silver or copper here, though; it's gold all the way down, and lots of it. If you're still in the WoW mindset of "Gee, a couple of thousand gold is a lot of money," then you'll want to recalibrate. You can expect to have several thousand gold by the end of the first Act. Your primary source for gold will be drops. Monsters, chests, objects -- most everything drops gold, and the amount increases as you progress through the game.
