Im still in act 3 also but I'm only at the part where you run across the bridge that is long and has a ton of mobs. I should be on sometime tommorrow to clear that.
I installed the mobile authenticator the first night I played. They shut down the servers so I decided to go ahead and do that while I couldn't play.
Yes, I think I will start looking for the mats now that I have the bs plans. The bell will be the last thing I get since it cost 100k and my gold is going towards gear atm.
I did a little more homework since the servers are down. There are no cows to kill so Blizzard was right. What they did this time was make it look like care bears/my little pony in the whole secret level. Here is more info on how to get the mats needed:http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Whimsyshire
I managed to get two more pcs today before the servers went offline again. So now I am 3/6 needed to run the secret level. I found a better site with maps and easy to locate info. Here it is: http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/com...et-level-video
It has unlimited use and can be upgraded for the different game levels. Only one person in a party needs it and doesn't have to stay when the opening is created. All of the mats are white items and account bound so you cant vendor them but you can drop them (staff included). Some people have lost theirs because they were dropping all whites from their bag and now they can't get it back unless they do it with another toon and pay again.
I now have 5/6 items needed to make the staff. So far I have ran this map 30 times in the last three days and only got the spawn once. The chest needed didnt happen to spawn though
