Act3 VS Act2 legendary farming

[sparks]

even when I find a legendary item in act 1 or 2 its junk.
I have never seen a legendary in either act that you can sell and I have had a bunch drop since 1.04
Act 3 at least its worth looking at and will almost always sell for something even a crap drop in 3 is better than anything from 2.
(this is just my observation and not a fact)

just like 63 yellows in act2 usually only have 4 stats where the same thing in act3 have 6.

but you don't realize that ilvl is not the only thing.
sure you can get a 63 item but only in act3+ are you going to get 6 stats that are worth picking up.

This is not true. The quality of the items (how many affixes they get) is determined from mf and RNG. Doesnt matter which act it drops in

This is bullshit, 63 legendaries also drop in act1 and act2

I farmed for days with 399 MF and got jack. As soon as I went to act III I made 500$ this month alone. Pretty good if you ask me.

ACT III > ACT II HANDS DOWN IN EVERY CASE

Items in III just don't drop in II as common at all. You can get an IK or Inna's in a few days of farming compared to a week in II or never. The chances at better items are doubled. And statistically speaking, you could have to get close to infinity to see the above mentioned "2wice as fast act II = act III" statement. 100% Every time you will see double the 63's in III. I like that much better than "maybe" seeing double the loot because I'm doing it faster.

In one week of act 3 farming I have found Ik helm, gloves, and belt. Innas pants, skorn, ice climbers, firewalkers, one of the set ammys, depth diggers, and danettas spite. This is 7 days on one bot and probably 3 days on the other bot. Both running little to no mf base sans their paragon levels of 40 and 50.

A3 is the way to go and fairly easy with a barb.
