Hello guys. I decided to share my routine when i farm for items/runes. I am using a hammerdin (FarmPala) with 427 mf at the moment. I am starting with act 1 counter> pit> inner cloiser only bone ash; after this am going to act 2 and killing only summer and all specters i found along the way to summoner; at act 3 i kill trav councils then going to mephisto councils and killing mephisto himself; at act 4 i am going for izual, all champs/mini boss at city of the damnes, river of flame and chaos sancntuary and diablo at the end; at act 5 i kill shenk the overseer eldrich near first wp, after them i go for sharptooth slayer near barb quest, then eyeback the unleashed between frigid highland and arreat plateau, after him i kill frozenstein in frozen river, bonesaw breaker at glacial trail and enterring drifter cavern where i clear all mini bosses and champions and opening the golden chest, then go to pindel and nithalk finishning with a run in icy cellar (ancients way wp). I am not saying its the best way of finding items and runes but most of the superunique bosses have a good chance to drop amu/ring/circlet and with the mf i have usually they are rare, moreover i am finding plenty materials for crafting blood ring/casters amu or rerolling rare jewels with perfect skulls. Usually i finish this run for 14-16 mins. First day: After 3 hours of farming this route i founded 5 rare amulets, 5 rare rings, 3 rare circlets; sadly all of them were bad; despite that i found a 7 fhr 10 all res jewel which is not bad, 2 lem 2 pul 3 gul and 1 Lo runes; Second day: Again after 3 hours i found 6 rare circlets 5 rare amulets and 8 rare rings, again non of them worth anything; besides them i found 2 vertungos both really low, 118ed spiderweb, eth ss 13/15 154 ed, jewel 15req/35 edmg; as for runes i was only able to find 4 lem and 3 mal runes; later while i was crafting i was able to craft a really nice ring: 7 min dmg 2 life stolen per hit 18 str 14 dex 20 life 10 all res;
I like these "less boring" farm routes. What i usually do though if im burned out from CS or cow running, is doing some A5 runs similar to yours. It really gives some color to the repetativeness of farming. I thend to include the hell portals and whole frozen river if there are souls.
In theory all areas 82+ are worth clearing because the boss packs are usually up to +3 levels higher from the area.
Third day: Today i was able to farm for 4 hours and feel really lucky found 4 rare circlet, 11 rare ring, 4 rare amulets, sc 17 life 11 poison res, gc 94lvl, rare jewel -15 req 28 ed 6 max dmg 7 str, draculs 10/15/108, Lem, Mal, 2xVex, Ohm and 2xLo; sadly wasnt able to craft any good ring or amulet
How are you doing this run in ~15 minutes? I can't seem to get it under 20 minutes... Really nice route tho, a nice variation when you get bored of the usual MF runs!
I like this. I'll be following your farming log. Good luck. Btw you should update your first post. Cheers.
This is like a story. Verey nice. You cloud talk about your self at 3rd person, it should bring more indepth to the story.
might be really nice but will consume a lot of my free time, will think about it tho --- Double Post Merged, Dec 12, 2016, Original Post Date: Dec 11, 2016 --- Fourth day: Our hero fought for 4 hours against many champions of Evil having highs and lows. Despite being one of the strongest Nephalems he died- his inner barb spirit failed him and one of his greatest enemies (Pindel) manage to take advantage and killed him (happliy our little scared girl doesnt play Hardcore). He kept sweeping through dozens of monster and despite all his prays and sacrifices to RNG gods he felt they have forsaken him. Although he manage to find many shiny amulets, rings and circlets (6 , 9, 4), they were not good enough for him. Anyway our great hero kept killing monster, even thought he was finding some rare items (Waterwalks, Dracul`s grasps, Vertungo`s, Mavinas`s Diadem (again???)) they were no use to him. Being closed to quit his quest against Evil forces, feeling bad about his luck, once again the almighty RNG gods showed him their love for everyone brave enough to fight Evil. Hephasto the armorer another, great enemy of the Good dropped a bright and nice looking Max Arreat`s Face after his demise. Our Hero felt once again the love of his gods and with renewed strengths he continued to kill the countless enemies he faced. At some point he felt the exhaust in every muscle of his body and decided its time to rest. Back at his home he started to look at all the goods he found today and to his surprise he was able to find a moderate amount of runes (Lem, Pul, 4xMal, Ist, Vex, Ohm, Lo). Full of joy he went to his bed after dinner and wasnt able to fell asleep for a few hours because of all that excitement for the days incoming and what treasures are awaiting him inside some chest or inside some monster.
Fifth day: Lately our hero didnt had any luck, maybe prays and sacrifices to the RNG gods dont work any more. For more then 10 hours of killing all kinds of Evils wandering around our world, he hasnt found much to brag about back in the tavern. He even changed some of his roads trying to find anything good but at the end he was only able to find a few rings, amulets and coronets (3,5,2). Even his rune founding wasnt at his top level like before- found only vex and mal. It was a time to take a break and go to the markets where he could see what people are selling or buying and maybe he would be able to get something new and shiny to raise his spirits again. Around 2 hours later he was not happy with his decision. People were overpricing almost anything they were selling, so our hero decided not to look for new items. On the bright sight he was able to sell some items he wouldnt use against the hordes of Evil netting jah(for barb amu) and Sur (for Shadow dancers). He went back to the tavern ordering some drinks and food waiting for the day to end. After his second beer a long time friend came to the tavern excited. He was able to find some special keys along his journey which were opening some portals to new dimensions with better and stronger opponents. Our hero was inspired once more, the idea of new stronger opponent made him feel like a kid waiting for his present. They talk for a few more minutes and decided to go together on this journey. When they reach Harrogath they ask around people of the town and were told several legends about the bosses. They needed to open 3 portals where they will find 3 bosses protecting different organs which they have to combine to open the last portal for the 3 Über Prime Evils: Pandemonium Diablo, Über Baal, and Über Mephisto . First one was the Matron's Den where they found Lilith. After a few minutes they were able to kill her and found Diablo`s Horn. Then they went on the second porta l- Furnace of Pain where Über Izual was protecting Mephisto's Brain. Again after a small(small really? cant find a better word sorry) fight they were able to get the brain. The third portal send them to The Forgotten Sands and they fought against Über Duriel who was defending the last organ- Baal's Eye. After getting all 3 organs they combined them in the Horadric Cube and opened the portal to the Uber Prime Evils. First it looked just like normal Tristam, but they were wrong. The Uber Prime Evils lurking around were really strong. Starting a direct fight against 3 of them and their spawns, was a foolish idea and our heroes payed with their lives (still no hardcore kids no worries). But that was not enough to break our heroes spirit, so they went back more prepared and split the Ubers. After 10 minutes of fighting they were able to kill them all and found something they havent saw before- the hellfire torch. The excitement was so great that they decided to the in 5 more times, but at the end none of the torches was good enough for them and once again our champion felt it was not his day. --- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2016, Original Post Date: Dec 15, 2016 --- Sixth day:After a short brake our hero is back. He fought Nihlathak for the last 4 days, a hard fight but my god so worthy. He found Sur and Griffon (in one day really?). Beside that found like 6-7 spiderwebs, around 10-15 verdungoo`s, 1 zakarum, around 15 rare circlet, 20 rare ring and 20 rare amulets (not a single good one ;( ). On top of that he was able to find 1 Lo, 2 Ohm, 4 Vex, 3 Gul, 4 Ist, 3 Mal, 5 Pul and 7-8 Lem runes. For a few days work a really nice payoff. He and his friend went back to the Uber realm trying to find better torches. Again the fight was hard and didnt pay off, but one day they will find the Holy Grail (a.k.a pala 20/20) or maybe not if legends are only lies spread by the Evil to trap more and more champions of the Good no one can be sure, but till the true come out our hero will do his best to find it.
After changing your writing style to 3rd person, your stories became really fun to read. So, basically rarti is the author, Atox is the editor, EuropeBattle.net is the publisher... all we need now is Morgan Freeman's voice and we've got us a major blockbuster
Many days later: Lately our marvelous hero hadnt much time to tell his stories, as you all know we had many holidays. Despite that he kept killing does maleficent creatures which surround our world. And this time it was different, RNG gods were so generous that he was able to find some of the rares items in this realm- Colossus blade, myrmidon graves, several skillers withlife, Cham, Jah, Sur and several lower runes. On top of that he found a few nice combat skillers out on the market, which despite being really expensive to purchase, are some of the nicest things you can have.
