This is no trick. Blizzard is treating all of us to a nice long weekend of bonus gold and experience! Starting in less than seven hours from the time of this posting (12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, October 31, 2014 to be exact), you will see an in-game Community Buff both for PC and console players providing +100% bonuses to Gold Find and Experience. The best part? This buff is multiplicative. This means that whatever bonuses you’re already receiving from Torment, affixes on gear, Paragon points, etc. will be multiplied by this community buff for HUGE gains. As a bonus to the bonus, Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend, so you’ll actually get an extra hour to take full advantage of. Read on below for the details.

Somewhere between the High Heavens and the Pandemonium Fortress linger spirits who hunger for the company of wandering nephalem. . . .

This weekend, we invite you to take part in a celebration honoring these ancient ghosts of the fallen. All mortals who log in to Diablo III this weekend on any platform will receive a +100% bonus to Gold Find and EXP! As with previous buffs, the bonuses provided will stack multiplicatively with existing in-game bonuses, including those provided by items, shrines, Pools of Reflection, and Paragon points.

This bonus Gold Find and Experience period begins in the Americas region on Friday, October 31 at 12:00 a.m. PDT and ends on Monday, November 3 at 11:59 p.m. PST.

Have a ghoulishly good time, heroes. If perchance you fall victim to the things that go bump in the night, be not afraid . . . you’ll have plenty of company on the other side.

*For PC, the buff will start and end at the noted times in each gameplay region according to its local time zone (PDT/PST for the Americas, CET for Europe, and KST for Asia). For console, the buff will start and end in all regions at the same time, listed above. For time zone assistance, click here.

Will I be seeing you all in Sanctuary this weekend? I have plans for major playtime to take advantage of this. Don’t get spooked out of your bonuses. Come haunt demons! This buff will only be here until the end of the day on Monday!
