Like Diablo 2, an important goal in Diablo 3 is to gather various drops, better and more powerful gears. Getting a sharp and perfect axe makes players’ characters and gameplay different from before. After killing the monsters, players gather stick, wand, and runes. Now, besides drops, players can build their own armory. They can change old and outdated gears into gold. It is fun to get boxes and drops of enemies. Blizzard hopes players pay attention to gears, so they develop the crafting system. Each crafter is different in personality and desire to the burning hell. Players have to win their service before crafters are willing to explore with players. Each crafter has his strong points, strengthening and forging their gears. Blacksmith can create arms and armors. Mystic can make scrolls, potion, rune and amulets. Jewelers can remove the jewels from a hole and reuse them.

Experience and upgrading

Crafters can lvl up through gears that players provide. Appearances change after upgrade and more ingredients appear. Players need to find book leaves from monsters and book shelves. Every five book leaves consist one book. With gold experience of crafters is improved. When experience is full, crafters will upgrade and their appearances change.

Materials and salvage

In order to provide necessary materials to crafters, players can decompose the materials. Salvage in Diablo 3 is convenient. At the beginning players get salvage and decompose materials. Usually most items can be decomposed. When your packet is full, decomposition is a good way to make room and recycle the gears. Advanced items can decompose more valuable and rare materials.

Random attributes

Crafters can help players craft items. Crafted items are unusual, will not drop anywhere. Like other items in Diablo series, they are random. For example, if players wanna blacksmith to craft a wristblade of DEX, dmg addition of arms is visible on the screen. The attribute of your arms is known only after payment. Crafted items upgrade as attributes change. Quality of items improves as your crafter improve. Crafters need gold and materials to train their skills, improving forging skill, adding facility. It is up to you whether crafters learn all or specialize in something.
