game mode delivery safe?
  Game Mode (Diablo 3)
On PC you can see your region (Europe, The Americas, Asia) under 'login' button after you open Diablo 3 or after you login, by clicking 'switch hero' - under 'select hero' button. To change it, log out and go options > account > server region selection.

Please compare your login screen to the image, your character will be one of the four possible choices.
There are 12 possible PC modes and 12 console modes so there are 24 possible game modes in Diablo 3 and we support them all!

SC = Softcore/Normal (default mode)
HC = Hardcore (you have to select checkbox whilst creating a character, you can see a red banner on login screen and special 'hooded skull' icon)

Additionally you can select between regular (Non-Season) or Seasonal (you have to select checkbox whilst creating a character) which will give a gold banner on login screen and special in-game 'green leaf' icon in top-right corner (next to difficulty level), which is also displayed to your friends in friends panel and in other places. The only content difference between NS and Seasonal is Season Journey, it offers a set of objectives, which upon completion rewards you with one extra stash tab (per season) and various cosmetic rewards (transmogs, pet/pennant/wings, portraits).
Seasonal characters automatically convert to Non-Season every 2-4 months (in server dropdown, NS is simply named by a realm: Europe / The Americas / Asia).

You can estimate game mode's popularity by opening leaderboard and scrolling down to the bottom ranks. Lower average level likely means that it is less competitive and thus less players play there.
We recommend playing NS if you care about high Paragon and obtaining perfect items, if you don't then Season is a better and more popular choice. You can compete on leaderboards on both modes but gear/paragon progression of your competitors will be much more advanced on NS. Season gives you a brand new beginning and ability to compete against skill/luck, rather than thousands of hours of grind. If you need extra challenge, try Hardcore!

You may also play on Classic - without Reaper of Souls (ROS) expansion, there is no Adventure Mode so only old school Campaign farming is possible. You can purchase tradable level 60 products or use level 70 items with 'reduced level required' property.

All Diablo 3 game modes
  Account Share
100% hand done* - a human will be playing on your account (optionally you can buy a Live Stream).
Account access is required (our booster will play with your hero).
All console Non-Season items can be traded and will be delivered via ingame mail. We will need your PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo Switch gamer tag and after you add us to friends, we will mail you everything ingame and then email you.

REQUIRED INFORMATION:
- account's email/password
- character's class/level/name (case-sensitive)
- battle#tag
- location for VPN: by default we will connect from the capital but you can also state the nearest big city and we will use it instead (if available), for USA please tell us your state

Please provide above info via checkout comment.

UNLOCKING
Upon our first login attempt, your account may get locked. This happens automatically when you login on a new device - it protects you from an unauthorized access. To unlock your account, you will need access to your email and/or mobile phone or Secret Answer (depending on your security settings). Don't worry, it will only take a minute, it's a standard procedure when sharing account access.
The authenticator cannot request code more than ONCE for the entire duration of the service (make it NOT on every login). It is encouraged to disable authenticator and/or SMS protection weeks prior to ordering the service, but it is not required.

BONUSES
- Paragon levels
- Useful items for other builds
- Legendary Gem upgrades
- Crafting Materials (Gold, Gems, Death's Breaths and other)
None of these bonuses are guaranteed - it is just possible that you may get some or all of them.

ACCOUNT SHARE
- Everything found during the service belongs to you and will stay on your character. ItemForge will not take, transfer, destroy or otherwise worsen your items, account or characters, equipment and in-game currencies. Your resources (e.g. Crafting Materials or Rift Keystones) will NOT be used: after service is completed, you will have the same amount or more (optionally you can allow ItemForge to use your resources in order's comment, doing so may speed up the delivery).
- Services requires room for picking up the items so please make your inventory totally empty (you may leave gems + potion) and have at least one free stash tab. If you don't, we might unknowingly dispose of an item that is important to you, so please prepare free space yourself. This is easily accomplished by creating a level 1 characters (mules) and putting items there (if you don't want Legendary Gem duplicates, we suggest leaving them in the stash).
- Unless otherwise specified in product description, your character can be on level 1! You don't need any gear, paragon or crafting materials, it can be a brand new account.
If you want to help, please prepare max Toughness gear (refer to a 'tank' section in Boost FAQ). Delivery may be faster if your hero can easily survive on Torment 10+, or if you already have some items/resources needed for the service you ordered (and give us permission to use them in order's comment).
- ItemForge will minimize all communications whilst playing with your character and all whispers and party invites will be ignored (unless otherwise specified by you).
- Legendary farming services will provide you with level 70 items and in case of guaranteed stats (you bought a specific item), they will also have the main attribute for your class (Int for Wiz/WD/Nec, Dex for DH/Monk and Str for Barb/Cru).
- Do not login or change your password whilst service is being performed as it may endanger your account and/or make service slower or impossible. You can always check our progress by visiting the Armory or by replying to your order receipt email (we will update you within 24 hours). Scheduled Account Share will be added in the future.
- Make sure you have at least one friend list spot and one character slot available, otherwise we may need to remove one of your friends or characters.
- Your character/account will not be used to spam, steal, harass, cause grief or be involved in anything improper that may damage your reputation (ItemForge will only perform actions needed to complete the service your ordered).
- Estimated delivery time (especially for RNG products) is based on experience for similar services of that type and it depends on many factors e.g. luck, class or server you play on. Delivery doesn't include time it takes you to unlock your account (service will start within 24h after unlocking but usually within a few hours). Delivery is presented in business days but we often complete it within described amount of calendar days.
- Create a character you want boosted yourself - we may not be able to create it for you, which will delay the service.
- Make sure you have purchased and activated all required game licenses (expansions) for the service(s) you ordered.
- Products that can be learned 'on right click' may be delivered either as item that you can 'click to learn' yourself or as already learned spell/effect which is result of that action.
- It is your responsibility to change and protect password and/or any other login information after service is completed.
- Screenshots of your inventory and stash will be taken before and after the service. We suggest you do the same in case of any issues.
- ItemForge may use all of your characters to complete service faster (unless you object to this in order's comment).
- If you have any pending in-game mail, please pick it up or it may expire (be automatically deleted) during the service.

HARDCORE
We always make a brand new level 70 character on your account so your currently equipped or stashed items are never at risk of being lost due to accidental death :)

* Your account's safety is the most important thing for us and nothing will be done to endanger it (a VPN will be used). ItemForge guarantees that Account Share described as performed by a human being (e.g. "Hand Played", "Hand Done" or "ByHand") will be done without the use of any third party (unofficial) software, applications or scripts (this includes: multi-boxing, maphack or anything that automatically controls your character like a bot or an automated rotation).
  Boost (Self Play)
Boosts usually start within 15-30 minutes.
Self Play - you play with your hero (no account sharing).
All console Non-Season items can be traded and will be delivered via ingame mail. We will need your PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo Switch gamer tag and after you add us to friends, we will mail you everything ingame and then email you.

REQUIRED INFORMATION:
- battle#tag

Please provide it via checkout comment.

All you need to do is accept friend request, then accept party invitation and follow instructions from email or product's description.

BONUSES
For vast majority of the services: all legendary items found by the booster(s).

BOOSTING
- Level 70 is required (except services that already include 1-70 of course).
- Legendary farming services will provide you with level 70 items and in case of guaranteed stats (you bought a specific item), they will also have the main attribute for your class (Int for Wiz/WD/Nec, Dex for DH/Monk and Str for Barb/Cru).
- Friend request will be sent when booster is available (after you confirm that you are ready via email). You will be presented with at least one delivery window of minimum 60 minutes plus duration of the service, within specified delivery time.
- Make sure your status is set to 'available' so we can send you a party invite.
- You must have enough time to complete the Boost (including possible delays), preferably in 1 gaming session with little to no breaks.
- You will need to follow simple instructions (English only) given in-game (e.g. come, follow, accept event). "Come" means that you need to use town banner or right-click on portrait and teleport to the booster who wrote it. For your safety and convenience, ItemForge does not offer customer support via in-game channels, please do not ask any questions during delivery.
- You are expected to understand how the service works and what you need to do before it begins (please read product's description and if in doubt - contact customer support). If you are not sure what to do or don't want to risk failing the objective(s), we suggest sharing account. Boost only presents you with an opportunity to get the benefits, it is up to you to claim the reward(s) - to participate (or not), e.g. follow booster or loot the items dropped.
- Every Boost product has an option to be performed as Account Share. If no such option is available, you can request conversion of Boost into Account Share with the same deliverables, free of charge.
- In case of most services, you can get benefits of the Boost (loot items dropped) by staying dead in the same area where monster is killed. Never leave that area (revive in town) unless you were clearly instructed to do so or understand that it may prevent you from looting the items dropped, whilst you were not present on the map.
- Boost services, containing phrases like "time required to prepare" in product's description, are about delivering certain conditions, which are prepared without your in-game presence (you are invited later, to benefit from it). After you agree to a specific delivery time via email (in "hours from now" format to make it simple and to avoid any time zone confusions), you must join within that specified time frame to collect the rewards. Boost is considered as successfully delivered even if you do not join within that time frame. ItemForge does not guarantee prepared conditions to last longer than described (time frame is 30 minutes, unless otherwise specified in product's description).
- You may be required to create a new character on a game mode you normally don't play on e.g. achievement done on normal even though you play hardcore (cosmetics are account-wide).

HARDCORE
You are responsible for safety of your character, play at your own risk (or purchase Account Share). When following booster is required to complete the service, do not afk or run to unexplored areas and teleport to booster ONLY after you get "s" whisper (also never enter rift portal on your own, wait for "all clear" whisper first).

TANK
For HC Boosts or any SC Boosts that require you to follow booster (and survive), you should turn your character into a tank:
- Rule of the thumb is 30+ million Toughness for Torment 16 and 100+ million for Paragon Boost on a very high Greater Rift level. For comfortable leeching, beside Toughness you also need at least one 50% damage reduction at all times (from active skill or set bonus), double/triple everything for HC;
- Equip max Toughness combination, put Diamond gems in all slots and use legendary gems: Esoteric Alteration > Gogok of Swiftness > Mutilation Guard (Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard, Moratorium and Red Soul Shard can also be useful);
- Use damage reduction skills, talents and legendaries: Aquila Cuirass, Stormshield, St. Archew's Gage, String of Ears, Eye of Etlich or Endless Walk set or LON set;
- Equip utility legendaries: Leoric's Crown (double CDR or %Life), Illusory Boots (to run through monsters) and Homing Pads (to teleport to town uninterrupted whilst taking damage, alternatively use a skill listed in the table below for the same effect);
- Use 'cheat death' talent and movement skills listed in the table below;
- If you want to take tanking to another level, get max Cooldown Reduction + Attack Speed + Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac + Amethysts in your weapon(s) to have 100% uptime on most of the damage reduction skills and to regenerate life and resources quickly. Builds like that are called ZDPS (zero damage) and if played/built properly, they also enhance damage and survivability of the entire party!


Town Escape + Movement Skills Cheat Death Passive Skills Movement Legendaries
Barbarian Wrath of the Berserker + Leap / Charge Nerves of Steel (lvl 13) Lut Socks
Crusader Akarat's Champion + Steed Charge Indestructible (lvl 25) Swiftmount

  Account
ItemForge guarantees that original owner (creator) will never reclaim (take back) the account.

After purchase we will change email of the account to the one you specify (make sure it is not used for any account) and then you will receive account's details via email, typically it will be:
- Login/Password
- Secret Answer
- Full Name
- Birth Date
- CD-Key(s) used
  Trade
Not to be confused with Boost - Self Play (no account sharing) products that can be traded for up to 2 hours after they drop between present party members.

All console Non-Season products can be traded and will be delivered via ingame mail. After you add us to friends, we will mail you everything ingame and then email you.

REQUIRED INFORMATION:
- PC: battle#tag
- Console: PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo Switch gamer tag

Please provide it via checkout comment.

On PC we will add you to friends, then invite you to a private game and trade your item(s) after you confirm that you are ready via email.
All you need to do is accept friend request, then accept party invitation and receive ordered goods (accept trade or pick items up from the ground). For your safety and privacy we will not talk to you ingame (unless you initiate it). If you have any questions, please contact us outside the game.

In Diablo 3 (PC), only items that aren't 'Account Bound' can be traded, this mostly includes:
- Classic Diablo 3 items for lvl 60
- white/magic/rare
- some misc items

how to trade in Diablo 3
  Gear
By default we deliver it as Account Share but you can also buy the first three tiers as Boost - Self Play (you play with your hero).
All console Non-Season gears can be traded and will be delivered via ingame mail. We will need your PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo Switch gamer tag and after you add us to friends, we will mail you everything ingame and then email you.

Builds are made by Diablo 3 experts, which ensures that breakpoints are reached so that you can have the best performance possible (maximum damage/survivability).
High-end gear often costs a lot more because you need to get certain expensive, hard to find items to see a significant upgrade over the previous gear tier, for example tri/quad rings and primal/ancients, which take a lot of time (Forgotten Soul and Bounties).

- You may ask for different items, as long as each costs no more than $5 or 10% compared to the listed item.
- We sell gear's quality rather than a guaranteed performance because Greater Rift record also depends on luck and skills. We also sell speed farm and support builds which aren't capable of high solo GR, but can still be delivered as full ancient or better. If you purchase GR push gear, we will often include a solo clear with your char at around the described average GR level. You will often need a higher Paragon level to reach top solo ranks because we deliver gear 5-10 times faster than most players can farm on their own. As result, our gears have lower Paragon than other players with similar gear.
- Stated GR level is accurate only for cookie-cutter builds aka those used by the top 10 ranked solo Seasonal players. If you play in the party, you will usually be able to reach Greater Rifts about 10-20 levels higher, assuming all players have gear of similar quality.
- Bronze/Silver/Gold support items and other sets for different builds are not guaranteed if you choose Account Share delivery method. Play yourself and you can keep any extra items you want!
- Follower gear will have similar quality progression, but item properties will be relevant for them e.g. CDR+AS on jewelry instead of CC+CD.
- Godlike is one of the best gear sets in the world, often better than what top 1 ranked seasonal players wear. It is made of absolute best item stats available and you are unlikely to find any upgrades besides higher Paragon level. We will farm about 150.000 legendary items + 750 Bounties and every FS found will be used to reroll. That's less than $1 per 50 items!
It includes many primal ancient items with perfect rolls of desired attributes and ancient or almost perfect regular jewelry e.g. rings with 4/4 properties: CC+CHD+CDR/AD.

[1] You need to spend a significant amount of time to get high solo Greater Rift gear or full ancient gear with great stats. We will farm a lot of crafting materials like Gems, Reusable Parts (RP), Arcane Dust (AD), Veiled Crystal (VC), Death's Breath (DB) and Forgotten Soul (FS). We will also farm Bounty Legendary Materials to reroll legendary items to ancients or primal ancients. back
[2] If your Paragon level is less than 200, then this is approximately the level your character will end up on. If you already have high Paragon, you can determine your estimated level after the service by adding listed Paragon experience in calculator. back
[3] Ancient items can be augmented for a huge stats boost (5 per every gem level used). Only Platinum+ gear comes with augmentations on every ancient item - about half of the items for LON/LOD. back
[4] Most of the items can only have 6 attributes, 4 primary + 2 secondary; 4/4 means that most of the items will have 4 desired primary and 2 random secondary aka perfect rolls (after enchanting). back
[5] Usual amount of ancient items with good stats. 4/4 non-ancient will often be better than 3/4 ancient so we will not equip bad ancients/primals except for LON/LOD builds. Only Platinum+ gear guarantees minimum amount of ancient items with good stats and augmentations.
Shoulders, gloves, amulet and ring(s) are item slots where good rolls are much more important than ancient quality. back

[6] It describes a random legendary amulet/ring but you can expect the best in slot with the described item stats for Diamond+. Quad means 4 desired attributes, which usually means re-rolling primary attribute like Dex to make this endgame item: CDR / Crit / CritDmg / Socket. back
[7] Main 6-set bonus is guaranteed with every gear. We will also keep other sets for your class, which are currently not as good as 'the best' set but may be buffed in the future patch. Having them will enable you to swap builds later without purchasing gearing service again. back
[8] Refers to the build-allowing/enhancing legendaries, for example Lut Socks boots for Barb will greatly enhance Quake-Jump build. back
[9] Full legendary geared follower with the best items, which will make your follower very helpful (on top of the 50% damage reduction from the Unity Combo). back
[10] 2x Unity + Follower Token that gives him/her immortality. When all 3 items are equipped (solo game only), you will get 50% damage reduction, which is like playing in 10 levels lower GR. This is a very powerful trick which can help you survive one-shot hits in high level GRifts. back

CDR = Cooldown Reduction
CC/CHC = Critical Hit Chance
CD/CHD = Critical Hit Damage
RCR = Resource Cost Reduction
AD = Area Damage
AS = Attack Speed
LoH = Life on Hit
AR/Res = All Resistance
MS = Movement Speed
Soc = Socket
str = Strength
dex = Dexterity
int = Intelligence
vit = Vitality
  Currency
Diablo 3 (PC) does not allow trading of 99% items/resources, including Gold so currently there is no currency.
Read Trade FAQ to see what items can still be traded in D3.

Console Non-Season gold can be traded and will be delivered via ingame mail.
  Patch Day / New Season
NEW SEASON
Seasonal characters automatically convert to Non-Season every 2-4 months.

Basic services are usually available within hours after Season begins (1 Booster). Multi-tier services which require many geared accounts become available after a few days. You can pre-order any service on new Season after previous Season has ended and you will be among the first to receive it.

Any products purchased or pre-ordered right before Season's end, will be delivered on Non-Season (where those products would end up on, if order was delivered instantly).

PATCH DAY
Delivery may be delayed during the first 2 weeks after every patch, game crashes/disconnects/lags/queues are not uncommon.

Do NOT download any optional patches (ones not required to login), especially if you purchased a Boost which requires time to prepare. To avoid patching, you need to start the game with .exe, not the Launcher. Playerbase gets divided into 2 groups who can't play together (different versions of the game) and you may not be able to join Booster who started service preparation prior to patch release!

If you login on patched Diablo 3 installation, you can't go back to the older version (the one without optional patch), so you must use a different account if you want to collect benefits of the service.

If you ordered service that requires preparation and patch was deployed whilst preparing, do NOT log out or close the game. Create a private game and you will be able to afk for more than 30 minutes: if you afk in the lobby, you will be logged out from the game after 30 min but if you afk inside the game, you will only be kicked to the lobby after you click 'ok' to your disconnection message. This method allows you to stay logged in for hours, sometimes for days. You may also join any game, click numpad number to spam one of your skills and then numlock.
