Reaper of Souls First Look: Westmarch Level Design

"There was a time when Westmarch was a lively, vibrant city. Now, an unnatural chill hangs over the sprawling mass of Gothic architecture, and the unmistakable stench of decay chokes its few remaining survivors.

Take a trip with us through Reaper of Souls's first zone and peer behind the scenes at our design team's process in putting together the gloom and eeriness of a city under Death's siege."

Reaper of Souls First Look: Historical Westmarch

"What first comes to mind when one thinks of Westmarch, the first zone players will encounter in Diablo III's upcoming expansion, Reaper of Souls?

From the home base of an eponymous order of knights to an architectural wonder built of monuments to King Rakkis's conquests, it is a city steeped in tales both heroic and bloody."

Charity Auction at KOMIKON 2013

It's a bit off topic but it's for a good cause.

Some of the best Pinoy comic book creators have banded together and generously donated some of their much coveted original artworks for a charity auction event happening at the 2013 KOMIKON this coming November 16, 2013 Saturday at the Bayanihan Center in Pasig City. Proceeds of the sale will go to fellow Pinoy comic book creator Virgil Espinosa (hospitalized for kidney failure which requires expensive dialysis treatment) and the earthquake victims of Bohol.

If you cannot participate in the auction, the organizers will also be accepting any kind of donation for the earthquake victims such as canned goods, used clothes, bottled water, and the likes.

This charity auction is brought to you by Lui Antonio, KOMIKON, Inc., and the KOMIKERO Artist Group. For more information you may get in touch with Johnny Danganan via mobile: (0927) 531-1680 or email: johnny_danganan@yahoo.com.

Key of Destruction

Was farming earlier and faced off with Odeg the Keywarden somewhere in the Fields of Misery in Act One. After defeating him, lo and behold, he dropped The Key of Destruction!

I was so happy until I realized that I already had one. Bummer!

The Key of Destruction is one of the three keys required to create the Portal Device, which is required to complete the Infernal Machine event. There's a bunch of other stuff to accomplish but, to make a long story short, you get a Hellfire Ring if you succeed in bringing your jeweler the necessary items from these quests.

Your jeweler can craft one of four varieties of the ring where one of the affixes is guaranteed to spawn with +170-200 to a single attribute, either Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence or Vitality. The full ring stats are as follows:

• +170-200 to one Attribute
• Increase Bonus experience by 35%
• Chance to launch an explosive ball of Hellfire when you attack
• 4 random properties
• 170-200 Intelligence, Strength, Dexterity or 100 Vitality (you choose which one)

The ring is account bound and therefore can not be sold or traded however it can be Salvaged

• You can only wear one Hellfire Ring (your followers can wear one also)
• There is no level requirement on the ring so any of your characters can wear it

Seems I still have some way to go before I get one of those.

Now that is LEGENDARY!

Now that's something you don't see everyday (for me at least): a legendary item with two (2) sockets!

The item was found by my Barbarian earlier during a farming escapade (I'm trying to earn enough money to combine my lesser sparkling rocks into higher level gems) but I'm pretty sure my Demon Hunter character will be very happy to see this baby. Very happy indeed!
