Magic/Gold farming spots

**Deadgye** · 2012-06-19 10:44

there's like 7 chests/caches within about 20 seconds of each other too, so clean up area > kill elites > kill gob > run around hitting chests in all your magic find.

And now it's better to ignore them and save yourself the 20 seconds of getting nothing. ~.~

At work atm. Any word on the spot? Wanting to breeze my DH or WD there asap if it's still good!

**Guitarman** · 2012-06-19 17:26

Still works, just the repair bills for doing it are hurting.

Degenxerate · 2012-06-19 23:12

It still works but the repair thing could be bad for it. I'm thinking the best way to run it now is to just keep restarting until you have champ packs right down the left side without having to train anything, kill them and see if they drop a high ilvl like maybe 61-63 and if not just restart and not even bother with the rest.

Still works, but they made it possible for you to spawn in the other version of the map as well..So it can take quite awhile to get to the right one and do it.

No, getting spawned in the other version is just like spawning in town previously. Just leave the game and come back in until you get the right one.

Uhg since the Attack speed nerf I feel like I'm moving in slow motion during this.

**Guitarman** · 2012-06-21 02:34

I keep hearing reference to an act2 goblin to farm. Anyone mind filling me in where?

**Arximiro** · 2012-06-21 02:56

I imagine it's in reference to the one right before you enter the desolate sands on that path, one seems to spawn there pretty frequently. I would recommend just going through and owning champ packs in quick succession in A2 over that though, faster drops. Act 2 is so easy now I can just run through all the crap mobs if need be and do the champ packs. If there gets to be like 50 white mobs on you just leap inside the pack and aoe them rq. That is if you are a Barb though, I don't know if that is possible with other classes.

Act III doesn't seem to have been made that much easier however. The colossal gorgons for sure are easier, but soulrippers and quillback champ packs are still quite a pain in the ass. I did do Ghom earlier and that was a pain in the ass also with his new buffs. I had to use a LOH weapon for him though since the gas DOT is more than my revenge, regen, and blood funnel could overcome.

Well it's come to light that blizzard may have screwed up act3/4 with drops. I'm getting rares as low as level 51. It seems 3/4 were lowered too much, and 1/2 has better ilvl63 drops believe it or not. If the tons and tons of posts about it on the official forums are to be believed, that is.

**Zanz L. Barre The 3rd** · 2012-06-21 03:41

Start on Act 2, part 8 (I think?) around when you fight Zultun Kulle. Take the Waypoint to the Ancient Path. The goblin can spawn to the east of the way point, all the way up the ramp. You can either pop in real quick and glance in the general area with little risk of aggro, or you can constantly clear up the ramp. I recommend doing it with a few friends with individual lobbies, then gathering when someone finds one.

This seems accurate. I've had better luck in fewer kills on act 1/2 shit lately. If their aggregate of 20% i63's in a3/4 is right then somebody out there is getting some fucking insane drops because it's closer to 1-2% for me, and I kill almost everything in 250% magic find before NV.

The rate I get <55 stuff is definitely considerably higher than the rate I get 63, maybe even 62.

And as a completely random anecdote, I was farming a3 not getting shit, got bored, went to level barb, some random guy was asking for help with belial in general so I went to do that, killed 1 elite pack and belial, got 5 total drops. 1 of the 5 was <i61. If I had half that good a rate in a3 I'd be filthy rich.

And I didn't put on mf for any of that, I had ~50%.

in screwed up are you saying they accidentally did so and are planning on changing it back?

anyway, it's been confirmed several times on this board already but for sure the drop rates have been flooded with level 50+ garbage. i can do several zones worth of A3 elites and azmodan and my reward at the end of a run is 25+ rares, 1 of which MIGHT be sellable. for a little bit i suspected that arreat's crater's drops were the only zone not tampered with but i'm really still not sure. if you guys wanna try farming that a little bit it'd be good to have some more data.

Weird how Nightmare ZK only grants 2k exp for that plvling method as opposed to Normal's 10k.

Nightmare used to be like 34k or something like that and Hell was 94k but they nerfed both. They either forgot to nerf down normal or just didn't care that much I guess.

**Thunder** · 2012-06-22 22:24

Is hell more exp? Or normal? Asking because his is on nightmare and seems like he could be doing at least hell

**Slott** · 2012-06-22 22:27

You need to be level 60 to enter inferno, at which point you can't receive exp.

**Thunder** · 2012-06-22 22:29

>.> right, lol

**-Zer0-** · 2012-06-22 23:48

Anyone with Monk try the Exploding Palm bug for farming? I haven't really played around with that skill enough to know how to use it properly. Too much of a SSS whore 3:
