Going over the Ethereal farming guide and showing you all how to snapshot the game to get them even faster!
better freeze the game on lvl 14, so the ancient puzzle rings will give more leggies, thnx for the method.
stream soon? :>
Glad I could help Raxx ^^
RafaelXII here =D
hey man have u tried it with the set bonus of increased magic find ?? wouldnt that speed up the process ?? and a ring of nagerling
Would this technique work on console( Xbox, PS4, PS5), or is it just PC?
end of season this dude gonna have 10,000 friend requests, all saying "you said you'd help me"
@Witch of salem I read it’s actually better to do the puzzle ring method at level 5 since greed drops 2 guaranteed legendaries and the only items in the pool at lvl 5 are Leorics Crown and the 3 Ethereal items. But I haven’t tried so I’m not sure yet
Lmmfao
@@DankadoodIe That's how I picked up the Ethereal Recollection achievement. With the help of an primal ancient Puzzle Ring, Greed dropped four ethereal weapons for that class: one of each plus a spare. If only I had seven primal ancient Puzzle rings to start with-I would've been done in 15 minutes.
Thank you for all the hard work that goes into calculating and analyzing how to do this.
I'm still a bit bummed about the necro-requirement, but at least there's a small chance they can still drop for other classes...
Yeah i just have vanilla
Friends, the rarest drop in the game.
smh
@@hilomona you lose them after the season ends. Sadge
There is no friend level
true
Forever alone
10:18 Rax explaining like we are 4 years old
And that’s definitely a good thing
Im 2 but big brain^^
Raxx my friend you explained this so well. Thank you for another great video!
This unfortunately doesn't work on consoles. Unlike on PC, If a player on console that is hosting leaves the world, it will close that world and throw the other 2-4 players into a new one and selects one of those players as the new host.
Basically, if the host leaves on console the current game instance ends
I'm thinking re-rolling Puzzle Rings to Ancient might be way to go on console.
I made every single build to get all of them and made the goal to push to at least 110 for all of them and did it successfully that was a fun season.
I am always amazed at the ingenuity and problem solving mastery of you and your friends. Well done. Adding a subscription to your twitch at 1st chance I have. Thanks.
15:50 My math teachers in high school lied to me...
Tried this on console today, and couldn’t see what level I was on when I switching between characters. This was on Coop/split screen so that may have been the issue.
Also, you should try killing the goblins that drop from Greed and then die to reset the agreed fight. Keep killing the goblins as they drop.
There are solo methods that work well also. Use your main and complete season challenges until you can speed run T14 GRs and then use a gem of ease equipped weapon to level another seasonal character to level 31. That limits your ring pool to 3 for Kadala. (Puzzle Ring) Then start a character and use a cubed gem of ease weapon and level to 5. You need 3 character slots. Get blood shards with your main, farm those shards with your level 31 and then run the vault at T3 with your level 5. You should get 2 vault runs with each level 5 character. Your level 5 should be wearing illusory boots so you don't kill anything on the way to Greed so have that unlocked in your cube. This method took me about 14 hours of gameplay to get all 21 ethereals solo. The reason this works is because below level 12 the only legendaries Greed drops are Leorics Crown and ethereals so the drop rate is ridiculous at T3 because you get 2 guaranteed legendaries from Greed at T3.
Took me a couple days got them all! Got 2/3 necro's on other classes, did all but monk& DH in snapshot. It's boring but it works, doing it in GR's works easy aswell, but gotta gear every class and that'll take longer
I did this a little differently with I believe better results. Might have been RNG, but I snapshotted level 7. When I ran the Vault I had more than a 50% drop rate for ethereals on greed. If I remember correctly It was a min of 2 drops on greed (max 3) and I got legendary items like 10 times out of a total eth drop of like maybe 20 or ... so maybe more. Lots of duplicates. I admit to a little superstition...it seemed like when I got over level 9 or so (as I was leveling up running the vault) my eth drop rate seemed to fall off. At level 10 or 11 I would get just legendaries on that run, so i would remake the toon to level 7 and do it again. I'm not sure why this worked, but it really worked well. My only issue was running out of puzzle rings, which i then farmed with a level 21 monk using kadala. It was pretty fast considering i was solo. Also, note that the ethereal will be level 7 or whatever. I'm not sure if you have a level 70 in the vault if the ethereals will drop at level 70. Didn't try that. By the way, Ethereals can also drop from Greed's dropped goblins. I tested this on like 40 goblins and only got one drop though, so it wasn't very productive for me. I was running on Normal by the way not T6.
Thanks for the guide as always. You really covered this in the right detail.
Prepare the lvl 16 chars before creating the level 12 char, because if not, people are in the menu with a new lvl 1 char that counts short as lvl 13-15,
even when the level jumps from 12 to 16 and that would change the difficulty from 12 to 13-15 and these 3 others are pissed.
(not 100% sure about that, can anyone confirm?)
I could be wrong, but i just wanted to point that out that this could be a issue. excuse me for my poor english.
Rax going to all of this trouble just to find a way to play WD as little as possible 😆
Been trying this method a few days now and I was wondering if anyone could answer these two questions
1. Does this work on the console versions of Diablo 3?
2. If a powerful ethereal drops does that mean I am not doing the method correctly?
Raxx, just wanted to give you a small tidbit of info: I got a monk Bartuc's Cut-Throat while running a quick Uber-boss Realm of Regret for mats, T-15. More stats for your collections ;)
Why not snapshot the game at level 5 and use level 9+ characters to do puzzle rings with only ethereals and leoric's crown in the drop pool?
I am puzzled, the very website showing the table loot used in this video says that at lvl 5 only Leoric Crown can drop. why get to lvl 12? At lvl 5, any legendary will have a 50% chance to be an etheral.
- Get lvl 5
- Open Puzzle Ring on Torment VI
- Kill Greed (don't kill trash mobs!)
- Loot 1-2 etherals
- Delete character and repeat
what im doing is farming blood shards, lvl a witch doctor to 31 because at 31 they only have like 3 leggy rings possible, spam buy puzzle rings, make a lvl 5 char and go kill greed on t6. make sure to not kill any mobs or anything inside vault except greed.
There is missed opportunity for puzzle ring. Greed always drops at least 2 legendary items.
When you do all the same for VI(12) farming, BUT, start with lvl1, do solo pass through Vault, then before greed you will be lvl 6-10 max.
And on kill of greed you have only one alternative - Leoric crown. I've made about 15 vault runs, and I had 1 to 3 ethereals per run.
Problem with Group - by the end of vault - you will be LVL over the 11 - probably because we had wrong initial setup in group with lvl56 of one of the members. At this point you have bunch of legendaries except ethereal to drop.
So there is the way for experiments - to skip all mobs except the greed.
Can confirm! Your method is the best
@Raxxanterax What worries me is this: Say we take DH as easiest class. On level 70 T16 he has 180 legendaries to drop +3 etereals. On snapshotted level 12 on T6 he has 13 legendaries +3 etereals. That means he has 11.4 times greater chance to get etereal on l12 T6. According to d3resource site, chance for a legendary drop in rift on T6 is 189%and on T16 is 1760% which is 9.3 times greater. Does that mean that the actual increase in % with snapshot method is 1.22 times?
So I have a Level 70 Crusader and I have all that character's enterials. Can I join a level 12 character and pick up the etherials for the other classes by farming?
Thanks so much Raxxanterax! I am going to try this "snapshot" strategy this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you very much for your exceptional content!
Following up.. I am happy to say that using the "snapshot" method, I have obtained all 21 ethereals (level 12) in one day and received the "Ethereal Recollection" achievement. No question that this works! It's a bit of a grind, but all in all, very productive. I only received 17 duplicates. The occurance rates in the tables seem accurate. Thanks for the detailed guidance!
"In case you are not up to speed" is perfect, because I haven't played in a long time and have no idea
pretty sure they adjusted the droprates, because me and my buddys get maybe 1 eth for every 300-400 legendaries when doing GR90 speedruns.
Frustrated luck here. Lvl 70 Barb with 200'ish Paragon to date. Just passed level 40 GR. I received an ethereal at level 12 on my Barb...it was for DH. I have received about 400 legendaries to this point. No primals obviously, as I haven't completed GR 70 yet, but I haven't seen another ethereal for any class yet since either. I started my seasonal character on day 2 of release. I have obviously limited play time, but this season, it feels like the legendary drops are horrible in comparison to last seasons. Anyone else? Maybe it is just me...but in the past, if I had 2 hours of play time, I could almost always get at least one primal if I did speed grinds. Now I can't seem to get legendaries to drop on anything under Torment 11.
Doesn't really seem like it's worth the trouble of snapshotting a level 12 game, easier to farm rifts in public games. The drop chance might be higher but the legendary drop rate is significantly lower. In the time it took you to run your demo and find about 9 legendaries, you would have probably found 100 at T16.
10% chance out of 10 legendaries is the same as a 1% chance out of 100 legendaries.
And how exactly are you gong to find 100+ legendaries in 10 minutes on t16 with a character with 0 gear? You won't. People will leave you in the dust and you will spend your time porting in and out repairing your red gear. A random dude blasting t16 pub games for keys will give 0 f*cks about you not being able to pick up your ethereal when he closes the rift.
@@sirmoke9646 Why so angry?
Just run puzzle rings with the snapshot. Greed drops legendaries guaranteed. Ancients will help but even regular ones will get you them much faster. Farm shards, buy rings, upgrade said rings and repeat until you have 10-15 and then you'll be fine.
Thanks for this, worked like gangbusters, just unlocked my transmogs!
Best to use a GoD or WW build so every destructible is hit. Cows would be good, too, and you can craft BBs.
It was fun watching you during the stream experiment with this yesterday.
Raxx; If you are wearing a "Ring of Nagel", dos it increase your chance of finding Ethereal weapon?
thx for the great method.
But i was a bit confused by the 12/16 thing.
Basically you need a level 12 guy opening a game and then he invites the other dudes (which are most likely level 70 when the season is older then 1 day).
and thats it, did i get it right?
Correct any level that is at least 4 higher then 12 will work, it will most likely be 70.
Like Bkyd FF said, any level above 16 is fine, so 70 is completely fine.
But, ethereals use smart loot, so you're going to want to be a class that you still need ethereals for while you're farming. These level 12 ethereals aren't useful for endgame builds either, only to check them off the transmog checklist. So most people are going to be making fresh characters for each class, meaning the fresh characters probably won't be level 70 when you first start out.
How would this work on console because if I started the game and left it would migrate a new host?
Hi Raxx, does this work console? if I start a group and then leave I think it shuts down and I cant re-join. If this is the case then is the puzzle ring method the next best option? Thanks Raxx.
I think the problem that you didnt actually drop an Ethereal item is you were not in a season mode! But thanks for the amazing video!
if you have fire walkers, use that in the cube. you'll kill just by running past enemies and auto break doors
The whole point is not killing anything in the vault except Greed. You should be wearing the illusory boots to zip through the vault killing nothing.
Thanks a lot for all of this Rax ! Seems i should start the season with a monk for better chance with others character lately.
If I'm the level 70. Do I get an etherial too?
That's a nice vid! Too bad for us console players, I doubt this would work.
I was really hoping that it would work on local co op.
I’m going to try this solo on console with all characters and see if can be done before end of season… or see how long it takes, lol
On console it jumps to the highest level char. If your playing non hardcore then your stats get a nice boost but if your playing Hardcore then there's no bonuses just a 100% chance of dieing depending on the level of who is joining you lol
Could someone help me with this game on console? New to this and trying my damndest to figure it out... I'm on ps5 my tag is double-0-hellno
@@JexeonTV Did you try yet? I'm not sure this works on console.
I just realize: You actually have to purchase or have to had purchased the Necromancer class to get the transmogs into non-season.
You can find necro items even if you haven't bought the necro pack. The items are already in the game. You just need to buy the pack to use them. I know from experience cause before I bought the pack, I was finding set pieces for the necro
Cool video, but I think I'm just going to level each class and play all of them at max to get the ethereals. It gives us something extra to chase. every season for the last month and a half I've already done all of my pushing and finished grinding and farming. So something extra to do (even though more time consuming) could be fun.
[EDIT: This is no longer working. Sorry.]
Here's a method that works on consoles (and maybe PC). Create a new alt character, level it up, and do a GR 40. An ethereal WILL drop at GR 40 if that character has not had any ethereals drop yet. Then store your gear in your stash, delete the character, make a new alt, and repeat. I recommend having a strong LoD gem and a bunch of generic Ancients so you can quickly do the GR 40 as soon as each alt his level 70. And remember to assign your paragon points for each new alt character. ;)
This doesn't work. Tested it on playstation. Didn't get any drops during leveling, did the gr40, no ethereal.
I wonder, I understand we have way more chance to get an ethereal when a lengendary drops, but the legendary drop rate on T6 is +131% compares to +1221% on T16. Is the Ethereal drop rate so low that farming in T6 is more effective ?
I mean it's good to have more chance to get ethereal but if you drop 1 or 2 legendary items in a rift instead of 10, is it still worth it ?
You can not join a t16 unless you are 70. It would be impossible to make a stuck game if you cant create it
@@lamp4429 Yeah I know that, just wondered if it's really that optimized to do that rather than just speed farming T16 with lvl 70 character
@@nyosis_tv Lets hope Raxx responds! Its a great question you have
The reason for the low level is to take out legendaries that you have not unlocked from the loot table. He says it is around 9 times higher chance for the drop to be an ethereal over a legendary.
This may seem like the stupidest question ever, but just in case: Do I, as the lvl 12 character, after having have left the game, NEED to switch to at least a lvl 16 character? Or can I just farm on that lvl 12? Yes, that char would then lvl up and eventually I would have to make a new class and rinse and repeat. But maybe there is some weird interaction so that everyone needs to be at least 4 lvls higher.
Do lower level Eths salvage for keys? If so, this might be a better way of Key Farming.
I'm here at paragon 100 with a lvl 17 etherial still equiped cause I haven't droped one since...still can't reppace it cause it's OP xD
I got a necro ethereal very early in my season as a monk. Haven’t seen any since
Kudos to the big brained folks who figured this out!
I guess the level 12 setting is there to put a governor (limit) on power-leveling.
It’s just a conicidence that it helps the collectors to get a set of ethereald.
No, it's put there to prevent the lower level player from suddenly being outclassed in their own game if a friend/randy joins. Powerleveling takes less than 5 mins to be into the hundreds of paragon, if they wanted to nerf it this way, it was a terrible plan.
@Raxxanterax isn't it even better to craft the Cain's set and increase magic finding that way?
Or do you thinks it will not be worth?
what is the companion pet in this vid??
@ 9:52
right hand, holding a short sword
left hand, holding a (wtf?!) ... red soul stone?
So could I make one class and get all 3 ethereals save in my stash, delete that character make another class and get those 3 ethereals, and so on until I get all 21?
Put the ethereals in the stash and u can delete the character 😁 works for me on console
Any idea if and how this works on console? Ideally in couch coop on one.
Same question
S32, let's go!
even regulars puzzle rings are fine you 2 a few legendries at the end every time.
Hey Raxx, do they have to make new level 16+ Character or could they just use an existing level 70 Character already with my level 12 that I have created?
i got a lvl 10 ethereal on my dh, and the first thing i though was that they drop like crazy... but i guess i was wrong :P
much thank for your hard work and assistance.
Once you find a low level ethereal, can you salvage it immediately or do you need to keep it to get the mogs at the end of the season?
You can scrap it
All ethereal weapons are saved in the challenge section you can track them.
Can Ethereals drop from normal game play or will they be bound to the seasonal journey?
They only drop in the current season, they will be gone after the season ends, and do not drop in non-season.
Will this work on console? The host changes when you leave game resetting the games current state?
I think it doesn't work on console.. Probably best to have some generic lvl 1 Gem of Ease gear and farm on a new character every time, I don't know..
I love the video. Where can I get that info.
Remember to keep the Nagelring next season to help you with that :D
seems its been fixed or it cant be done
You can chees the Boss, let him hit the wall with the charge 5 times to get another 5 golems per run!
@Witch of salem why does lvl matter when you lock the game at lv12?
The barb ethereal, Doombringer that reduces the damage that the enemies do, is that 25% at lvl12 or not?
after 5 rifts, 0 ethereals and 10+ legendaries. this won't be a short one xD edit: aaand boom the first eth right after my comment. let's go baby
I'm looking for someone to help as your friend did with you, but I'm on the PS5. Is it possible to do what you did on there?
One thing I need clarification on is why does the game level matter? I thought loot tables were based on character level and not game level.
That is the whole point of the video. Rax is showing a trick to keep the loot table at level12 permanently.
At Lvl 12 there are fewer items on the loot table than there are at Lvl 70. Which means that at Lvl 12 with only 12 possible legendary drops available you have a better chance of an Ethereal dropping than at Lvl 70 where there maybe over 40 items that could drop. Therefore using the above as an example at Lvl 12 you have a 1 in 12 chance of an Ethereal dropping but at Lvl 70 you have a 1 in 40 chance. Hope that helps :)
11:53 - That's what she said....
lol the cat is meowing at me : )
If the boosting lvl 70 character finds etherials in that lvl 12 game, would those be bad ones too or would they actally be the good stuff?
It would be lvl 12 items, but if I go for the transmogs I don't care if the ethereals are trash
I only play OS after I get season rewards so wonder whats going to happen with the weapons after season. if they stay as powerfull or just become a "grey" transmog. they are way to strong to not go after if they going to stay that way and you cant get them again after this season
think the puzzle ring might help as well? no sure how good the chances of it dropping a legendary are?
Cow levels and vaults are definitely good, but I got most of my Ethereals just doing Rifts. It's kind of a waste of a Puzzle Ring IMO, you're better off saving them for your main to do in T16.
@@mdouet I meant like actually wearing it, never actually tried wearing so I'm not sure how good the chance of getting a legendary from it is
Raxx just use the gem of ease to convert the web to level 1, kinda dumb but no extra exp
Edit: nvm, the snapshot keeps the LOOT at level 12, I see
can we still pass etherial weapons back & forth to each other same as we share items normally. & will the game recognise them towards the achievement.
Need to do this in groups to get a better shot. And it's not raining legendaries even with this..Not liking it.
Can't you just be level 70 and get into that lvl 12 game?
aWESOME rAXX tHANKS MAN
hi rax, can I farm them hardcore and soft core? Like monk dh ethereal in hc and rest in sc, or I have to get all 21 in hc or sc
So the monster strength stays level 12 too? Sounds easy. Console might be tough or switch with no chat features(unless I just never figured it out since Thanksgiving)
Wait wasnt the game you were playing with 20x drops on PTR? Or was it another palytest without he 20x
Will you hold to the promise on PS4 HARDCORE?
noob question, how do you assign 100 paragons in 1 click?
Hold control or shift while assigning points to assign 10 or 100 at a time.
@@Tardigrade0905 Thanks!
you da man Rax!
anyone out there: is there any confirmation that this works on console as well?
Why are there so many guides on how to get transmits but nothing about getting them on your main character. Is rifts the best way? Bounties? Is there a place on the map that’s best? No point farming the transmogs when my main doesn’t have one
Ty bro
So... Anyway to find a discord where there will be people willing to farm ethereals?
I know most of the people play on PC, but does this also work on consoles?
Does anybody know if this also works on console? Or is it just PC?
What to do if you don't have Necro? Farm normally and hope you get it eventually? Or is it like the set dungeons achievement that you don't need the necro's?
You would have to rely on off class drops.
dude its 15 bucks, are you serious? xD like thats not even an hour of work! :-D
@@axzantos4968 It's not like it costs 15% of minimum wage where I live. xd
So if you have a lvl 70 speedfarm char in group, can you do these runs on T16 instead of T6? Not sure atm. (All the other chars must be lvl 70 in the group after the lvl12 lock is made)
Will T16 not be much better then?
I just realized that you cant lvl lock a game higher than T6 with lvl 12 char. Lol. My bad. T6 it is then
you cant and its more efficient than this method but its not good for the mass to publish so they chose this one. because if they made the most efficient guide they would get thousands of messages of how to do it correctly because the other rebirth bug or rejoin bug is more complex and harder to do than this, but you would have a t16 game locket the same way indefinitely.
Ok, interesting as a Vet of D3 not surprising have known about this method of reducing the loot table for a long time, a couple of thoughts, if you wanted to level a second Gem of Ease to 25 and use it to reduce level to 1 on a Nagelring you could then wear it on all your Eth farming alts and as we know it has Magic Find on it, has that been tested?
Also how does that affect the levelling process at season start, we know solo massacre bonus give best results, but Group Play doing rifts increase chance of legendry's and XP buff and also for this season more chance of getting an Eth from Rift Guardian so would you recommend Rifts as the best way to level for this season.
Whats the easiest solo method? my drops never have friend as main stat
So would this be useful for power lvling from 1 to 70 start of ladder locking enemies at lvl 12 high torment lvl or so?
No, because you won't have a gem of ease to socket a max lol weapon
experience scales with game level. If you've already got the level 70 weapon + gem of ease, then there's no point in locking it to 12 since you could just as easily do 70 for much more XP. If you don't have the overpowered weapon or someone to carry you, then you're better off with the game matching your level so you get useful loot and extra experience. The only reason to do this "locked to 12" method is to farm for the "all 21 ethereals" achievement to unlock the transmogs.
Thanks
Does this work with local coop as well?
First ethereal on my monk was a crusader ethereal 😑
the transmogs are nothing interesting.
windforce for example. looks fancy... indeed. good. so, it is already in the game. same transmog for the standard d3 windorce...
do I miss something?
