Diablo III - All that Glitters Trophy/Achievement Guide and Farm Route
Tips, Tricks
EDIT: Guide is no longer up-to-date for Reaper of Souls. It still might work for PS3 version of original Diablo, but there are more efficient ways to farm in RoS on PC and on next-gen consoles when that gets released. Hello, I am one of the first people in the world to obtain this Trophy and overall Platinum in Diablo 3, and first in the world according to psnprofiles.com, and lately I am getting a lot of questions from people asking to help with this trophy, so here is my guide. Lot of people are asking me on PSN how I managed to get 5 million gold Trophy so fast and some tips to help them out, here is a guide on my route for farming. I know it's PC version, but I don't have capure card for PS3/Xbox so I just recreated my PS3 route on PC and captured fotage. I found that Alkaizer route worked best for console, since mob density in Act 3 is much higher than anywhere else. After playing around and tweeking my routes, I found that the most loot and gold come from Arreat Crater Level 2 and Keep Depths Level 2 since they have the best mob density in the console version of the game. I recomend playing this route with either WW-Rend Barb or Tempest Rush monk, since they will have insane speed boost due to their abilities and overall have excellent efficiency. Close 3rd would be Archon Wizard. My route is reverse run of "Areate Crater Level 2" and "Keep Depths 2" 1. Start fresh Act 3 checkpoint on Quest "Heart of Sin - Kill Azmodan" 2. Go to waypoint "Tower of the Cursed Level 1" 3. Now run back up the stairs, you will get Checkpoint 4. Proceed running back to "Arreat Crater Level 2" Now the farming itself starts. Just kill everything in your way, those huge packs of white mobs give insane ammount of XP and decent chance to drop loot/gold. You want to run reverse back to waypoint at the start of the map. 5. After you get to the waypoint go to "Keep Depths 1" 6. Again, as in my video go to level 2 and clear it until you get to the exit. After you are done - teleport back to town, quit the game and resume. You will have portal to "Tower of the Cursed Level 1", and you can start new run. Repeat untill you get your achievement/trophy. Few more things that might help you: Easy, Normal and Hard on console are equal to MP0, MP2 and MP4 on PC, but unlike the PC version of the game you don't get any bonuses to MF, XP or GF. So there is no point to struggle on hard if you were unlucky with your gear drops. Master 1 to Master 5 on the other hand are same as Monster Power 6 to Monster Power 10 on PC and they do give bonuses to your XP, MF and GF. If you can easily handle Master 1 and can handle Master 2 or 3 it doesn't actually mean you should farm higher difficulty, it's all about efficiency. You want to kill monsters fast. If it takes 60-90 seconds to kill an Elite and 30-40 seconds to kill an white mob pack - it's probably better to switch to lower difficulty, since MF/XP/GF bonuses are not worth the extra time to kill mobs and elites on higher difficulty. Same thing with co-op, it's good only if your party is geared as good as you and they can move as fast as you, if not - you only gimping yourself.

What is the link to the site where you posted this video on and explained the whole process in a write up. I just read it last week and cant find it.

I like that you used the term "run reverse"
All I can think about is running backwards, literally, and I can not decipher the meaning, unless it means go back the way I came -
Would making this gold run be so bad in Inferno/master V? I don't see why ppl don't want to use this difficulty and setting to increase the cap. Plus, harder enemies means more gold, right? I can handle mobs. Not a problem.
-
Awesome thanks for the video/guide and thanks for writing it out in the description as well, made things easier for those who don't need to see it.
-
How the F*ck do you deal so much damage! and you always hit a critical hit how is that?! i only have a 17% chance of hitting a critical, pls tell me your build of skills and the items that you use
-
Are all the numbers displayed, the multiplication of a barbarians dizzyness?
-
Thank you so much for this video. I only have this and the kill 100 treasure goblins trophies left. All that glitters is by far the most time consuming. Hopefully this will help shorten the length alot. I'll try doing this on Inferno -easy to get it done more quickly.
-
It's worth noting that you should equip all the items that have the best gold bonuses. It would also be good to do a couple of runs through the game after you beat inferno mode anyway. There's armour to be unlocked which has a 100% gold find bonus among other good items for farming gold. Doing speed runs also nets gold quickly using the barbarian ww rend, as you don't hang around between killing enemies.

you should upload some videos of your wizard. It looks deadly. I would watch those.
-
It should be fine, just make sure you get some pickup radius gear and movement speed if possible. My main PC character is Wizard as well, and I was grinding Act 3 before patch - same route with no problems what so ever and had archon buff stuck up to 4-5 mins by the end of the run.
-
Well, I was looking into psnprofiles leaderboards. Just google this site.
-
