Diablo 3 Best Way to Level

Here are some of the best strategies and tips for leveling fast to 60 in Diablo 3.  If you want to level really fast without struggling at all you can always have friend help you power level but for the sake of this guide I’m going to assume that you want to level the old fashioned way with some minor tweaks to help you get to level 60 fast.  Here are those tweaks:

1. Don’t Waste Your Gold - There aren’t too many ways to waste gold but wasting any gold at any level can be detrimental to your leveling success (you’ll see why I think gold is so important in the following tips).  First off do not spend any gold on your Artisans while you are leveling up.  It’s not worth it to get your Blacksmithing up because anything you could potentially use from Blacksmithing while leveling you can get on the Auction House for cheaper.  It’s not worth it to combine gems and use your Jewelcrafting because you can get the gems cheaper on the Auction House.
2. Sell Your Magic and Rare Items to a Vendor - This goes along with the advice in the last post, don’t salvage your Magic and Rare items, instead sell them to a vendor.  You will make more gold off of vendoring them and while you are leveling you’ll need this gold.  You’ll have plenty of time to get everything you need for Blacksmithing later on, don’t worry about it now.
3. Buy Gear - The last two tips have been leading up to this one; buy gear off of the Auction House.  Every five levels or so it’s really essential to take the time to look at the Auction House and buy what you can upgrade to.  This is especially important to do with with your weapon but really look for upgrades to all of your gear.  This really does matter and the boost in Vitality and damage you’ll get from doing this will help you soar through the levels to 60.
4. Socket Your Helm with a Ruby - At level 15 the first thing I recommend that you do is a get a socketable helm and place the highest level Ruby in it that you can use/afford.  A Ruby in the helm will increase the amount of experience you gain per kill.  This is something you absolutely must do, in fact it’s probably the most important thing you can do in order to increase your leveling speed.
5. Socket Your Weapon with an Amethyst - At or around level 25 you should socket your weapon with an Amethyst.  This might seem like an odd suggestion for leveling but let me explain.  If you equip an Amethyst on your weapon you’ll get +Life per hit, which means that if you equip the best Amethyst you can afford you are likely to never die…or at least make it very hard for you to die.  Trust me and test this out, it’s definitely a must do, along with the Ruby in your helm.
