[GUIDE] Bright Here, Bright Now

[GUIDE] Bright Here, Bright Now

Some of you may or may not know about an elusive NPC in the world of Sanctuary by the name of Dane Bright. This young man is a self-made merchant who, from time to time, enjoys selling a Legendary or Set crafting plan or two.

If you're looking to gear up your lower level characters with some crafted items (or are simply interested in collecting as many Blacksmithing plans as possible) then these featured guides might just be the thing for you.


About the Guides:

In this particular Goatman's Guide of the Week, we're featuring not one, but TWO player-created guides. 

The first guide takes the form of a Diablo Wiki page created by Bluedragon (and curated by Elly from Diablo IncGamers). This guide includes all of the basic information you might expect about Dane Bright, including possible spawn locations, what plans Dane can sell, the gold cost for each, and his reset timer. It's been formatted simply, but neatly and features a nice, easy-to-read table.

You can share your own experiences with and knowledge about Dane Bright with the Diablo IncGamers community here and here. Happy hunting!

The second guide, created by Arkaidyn, features a quick video walkthrough of "How to Find Dane Bright." In the guide, Arkaidyn covers a variety of information he's collected based on his own experiences farming for Dane, as well as on the experiences of other Diablo III players.

Arkaidyn has also posted some additional anecdotal details about Dane Bright in /r/Diablo and /r/Diablo3, opening the discussion to those respective communities. Feel free to join in!
