It is min/max, but its also min/max playing the game and not looking in your inventory. Been using these tips since hitting T4, spend more time in the world and less staring at my inventory.
I think your main point/takeaway is this: treat your farming like pulling the lever on a slot machine. The more pulls per hour you get, the more chances per hour you get of hitting the jackpot. Reducing that number--that efficiency--reduces your jackpot chances!
I think all ARPGs just need to have Last Epochs loot filter in their game by default. I'm confused as to why that feature isn't a staple in the genre by now. In PoE you can use add ons to get the filters. But being able to not even see loot if it doesn't have certain stats is huge imo. Changing colors of the drop indicators while on ground to your own rarity is also a huge help in farming.
@@SandyBoxes All i really want is new classes and xpac for D2R. I never needed D4. POE is much fun also but imo too complicated. Im looking forward to poe2.
Just a side note, if you haven’t gotten a nice boot with necessary stats with + run speed. Definitely try to get one. It will instantly boost your speed in running dungeons.
@@pjw4125 currently i am doing max 150k damage and gave up some damage for speed on boots. Night and day difference. I am clearing faster with less damage.
@@Thedreaminthemyst I’m doing around 2 million max damage and I run the unique boots that have speed and leave the ice trail. Boots don’t normally give that much damage. What did you give up?
@@gerritkusenberg3600 what I do is quickly scan my ancestry rares. If it has 3 out of 4 things I want. Spend a few million to try and reroll the one you don’t want. Sometimes you get lucky and what you want comes up within a few rolls.
Loot everything and sell it or junk it. Check which armor have a lower item level for a specific slot. It takes me about 3 minutes to sell everything and go back to the dungeon.
@@justr1809yes but u want to look if that item will hit the breakpoint when u upgrade it. The stats will reroll after it hits the breakpoint. So a poor roll on good stats can turn into good rolls after u upgrade it fully
This even get easier when you have acquired uniques that are essential to your build. I at least have 2 in mine and I automatically mark those that belong on the same slot as junk. Additionally, weapons are easy because there are weapon types. Also, I automatically mark as junk those non ancestral items.
Every item over ilevel 700 is what you want to focus on. You can get it to 725 and get it into the highest tier. Item level over 725 doesn't even matter so focusing on the highest Item level is just not the way to go. Then again, armor chest, weapons and helmet might be excluded because of the damage of the weapons with higher item power and the armor since those 2 pieces a higher armor curve. Some of my best items I have found has been like sacred ilevel 700 something and then upgraded by the blacksmith and re-rolled into the highest tier. The sad part is that a sacred ilevel 725 is just the same as a Ancestral 840 ilevel when it comes to the stats parameters on stats (excluding armor and raw damage power). So in a video about efficiency I don't see how not picking up sacred items being more efficient since you increase your chances of getting a good item. Not by much I would say but still in a game all about loot I don't know why people don't focus more on this. It's not worth it to pick sacreds up? How so? My gloves got perfect rolls on 2 stats I wanted and almost perfect on the 3d which I also need. I then also rerolled them for +2 ranks in Twisted Blades. Then upgraded them to ilvl tier 725+ and bam got +4 to said skill and the gloves are just crazy! This is just a lucky example but I don't see why not having this extra chance when it absolutely can happen 😁
Maximum xp/time/reward formula is; 1. Complete highest possible key you can, this is your PB. 2. Find the highest and most comfortable dungeon you can complete (maybe without using potions etc), this will be your CD. 3. Find midway point between [PB:CD], this is your 'cap'. 4. Understanding that loot tables completely unlock at mob level 85, in turn level 31 nightmare dungeons should be the bare 'minimum'. Dungeon level effects experience, but does not chance the loot tables. 5. Ensure all keys you're looking to complete fall between [Minimum-Cap]. 6. Start running these keys, with a focus on objectives. My 100 WW Barb is completing dungeons (within my min-cap) in about 3-4 minutes, and get between 3-6 legendaries per run. PR runs take me usually 15-20 minutes, with roughly the same amount of legendaries dropping of similar value. [Min-Cap] 1 - 1.5 Legendaries/ Per minute. [PR] 0.2 - 0.3 Legendaries/ Per minute. So you would in theory get 20% more loot from [min-cap] farming, over farming higher/lower dungeons randomly - Anecdotal figures, but something to keep in mind. -BIS 100 WW Barb (missing harl/gfather), 1000+ dungeons complete.
I only look at the last two lines of the sigil on my Sever Infinimist Necro as this could be: less dmg from close or less shadowdmg which I don't care too much through all the dungeon but at a boss/high solo elite/a random butcher, this is what costs me the most time.
Good info, except the part of 3 levels up from you. This has been fixed and the higher mob level the more xp you get, infinitely. So it 100% comes down to efficiency.
Higher level monster always gave you more experience, there was never any "fix" for this. However there is still a 25% BONUS experience you get for killing monsters 3 levels higher then you. This is still the case, this bonus doesn't go higher then 3 levels, after that you simply get a linear increase of experience based on monster level, this never changed since the release of the game.
Call it what you wanna call it, fix or buff, whatever. It was changed in the patch with the nightmare dungeon buffs. You still get the 25% XP increase even if mobs are 50 levels above you, not just 3 like you said.
I 100% disagree with this: "It's to farm as much as you can, as fast as you can". No. The point of the game is to enjoy it. It's ok to not care if it takes you twice as long to get to 100, or get the item you are looking for, if you are enjoying the ride to 100. Don't make the mistake of turning the game, into work. Just have fun.
Mostly agreed however I would pick up sacred weapons, especially 2handers. You need a crapload of gold in this game and everytime you go to town, which should be after every nightmare dungeon since the extra travel time is negligible for even the fastest players now you can port to dungeons, you want to have a full inventory so you can grab as much of that juicy gold as possible because the last thing you wanna do is go back for a pure goldgrinding session later just so you can reroll the items you've stashed. Since 1 nm dungeon hardly ever fills my inventory with strictly ancestral stuff I generally grab the sacred weapons as well. 1handers are about equal in price to armourpieces and 2handers are even more valuable. Since they are yellow outlined you can instant mark them in your selling round so that hardly costs any extra time as well while it does bring in a lot of goldincome. For the modifiers I generally don't even look at them too hard as well to shave off some extra time I got a list of mods I do want on every item and if a quick scan shows 2 mods that aren't on that list, which I think is faster to spot than running through 1 by 1 if 3 mods do fit on the list, then it's marked. If 3 mods do fit the list it goes to the stashtab. Then finally something the video shows but doesn't tell, stop picking up gems at some point. Personally anticipating the tier 8 rumors I've got 300 royals each which if they remain 3 to 1 would be 27 royals per tier 8 gem so about 10 tier 8's of each should do just fine for a long ass while still. One more list I keep is raxx's solo xp tierlist for nightmare dungeons, that's my only selection process, S and A are instant runs, B's are save for backup, C&D is salvage. This one works great for loot as well because the same things that count for xp also work really well for loot, namely more elites and more mob density. If the mods suck I call it a skill issue and try to outplay it anyway because wth it's still a game right gotta have some fun and challenge sometimes even if it does hurt efficiency in this case :P But if that doesn't work for you clearly the first line method is also great. Finally you could keep a list of events on the side that you will and won't run because it really does matter a lot. However here xp and loot do not always run in harmony as some events are very dense with great loot drops but absolutely trash for xp because the mobs spawn with next to no base xp value.
Honestly nice tips you have. Love the one about doing hard dungeons because of the fun. ❤️ Don't really see content creators focus on the fun side. A lot of them are really negative actually 😕
@@Party21304 Unfortunately yea. The meta is supposed to work for us, not the other way around :p I just had a Champions Demise with Potion breaker, Cold Elites, and -40% close dps on my Rogue. So every Shaman's target 1 taps me, but I can't kill the Shaman cus of Champions, and I can't kill the Champions cus I get frozen and 1tapped by the Shaman's target :P Ended up using an Exlixir of Fortitude to survive that but because of Potionbreaker I couldn't sustain the freezes still so I end up Poison Trapping the Shamans to cancel their channel while I kill the Champions, then finish the Shamans and finally slay the pack at last. Big ass hassle and probably the longest Champion's Demise run in human history but it's Dungeon's like that that keep me going for long sessions. Twice as efficient means nothing if I quit of boredom 4 times as early.
Amen brotha! That is actually exactly what i do as well, got a screen shot of raxx's s to b tier list that i run, i pick up sacreds as well to sell em and insta junk mark them to not waste time looking at them, 10p% to everything u wrote!
Just spent 29.1 mill on my gear ugh. I loot all golds. Blues/whites/gems...bye Felicia. You can literally follow me through dungeons with my trail of crap
@@justanobody3219 Misread your comment for a sec so lemme redo that xD Yeah Gems especially with the value decrease are awful wastes of time. Golds I'd say only ancestrals and sacred weapons. Then if you're about to tp just fill up the bags on the final room cus why not. Legendaries however are always worth with the massive gold cost boost they get.
Here’s what you do - if you’re in tier 4; after a dungeon, hit sort and all blues and sacred’s mark as junk, sell them or dismantle them, sort again, compare your gear to the new gear and look for your top 2 most important stars. If it has them move on and check the rest. After everything else is marked junk then go back a 3rd time and actually look at the items. Boom, should take you roughly 3 minutes or less, then you can start the next dungeon.
I'd imagine some see this is simple info that everyone has but as someone new to ARPGs, inventory management is something I have been struggling with as I am a loot whore and haven't learned yet what I need and what I can sell/salvage/drop. Turns out I was sort of on the right track. Thanks for posting.
I'm at the point where if it isn't Great Staff of the Crone or Tempest Roar I'm not even picking it up. I can find all the legendaries, but it won't matter, companion legendaries suck, werewolf and storm legendaries suck without tempest roar and Crone. Ive been forced into a build I dont enjoy because Ive only found uniques that support pulverize druid.
Thank you as I have been target farming dungeons for a couple days and have only gotten a couple good drops, nothing amazing. Spending a lot of time and sigil powder trying to craft specific dungeons to run for the loot. Not really working
If you'd like an emotional song by them, there are a couple. Akatsuki Unfinished FROM WAAAY back when they were still much newer, and their song called No Rain, No Rainbow Legend S Baptism XX.
I cant wait until we get access to more stash tabs.. i usually run into dungeons and when i come out I just throw it all in my stash get back in another dungeon then sort through about 2 stash pages of gear at a time when it fills up.
Yea I sort note the next item tier (so for me now looking to push over 800+; so sell rares 774 and down) keep legendaries and uniques and look later. If you just pay attention to the item power it moves you in the right direction
Those boots were actually good. You could roll something if you didn’t like and the corpse tender would go to 3 when you upgrade them. Your boots are crazy old lol.
Basically, if you're below lvl100, spam nightmare dungeons and slowly build into better and better gear. If you're level 100 and you only need a few pieces, go target farm them.
At 92 I've had every Unique EXCEPT Black River the one I really want often multiple times over. I've gotten the two handed Scythe probably 5-10 times and all I want is one Black River lol
I'm playing Hardcore so this is largely not so good advice for me but I appreciate the sort info. GGs. Dropped a like. Iite, off to the Kombat Kast now.
I found what’s best for me is to check the gear right away when it drops if it’s better I equip if not junk I don’t fill up inventory I trash them if it’s useless for materials or sell for gold I only play with one build I like and that’s it no need to fill up inventory
I plan on upgrading my storm druid to a wolf storm druid and I have trouble with inventory because I try to keep an extra set of gear for when I get the drone staff unique to make my Stormclaw
I JUST got my first Penitent Greaves yesterday on my level 84 rogue. That’s just how RNG works. There are guys who have like 10 of them and I just got one.
Running a flurry shot rogue and weapon and armor drops suck. Running Tier III lvl 53. I ran a dungeon last night and did finally get a worthy Legendary cross bow, but I noticed quite a few bosses are dropping nothing at all. Freed a Stronghold and very low drops, just a couple rares the rest grays.
As far as dungeons go depending on your character/build there's gonna be some locations and affixes that you wanna avoid, for me with my rogue I absolutely despise Drifting shade as an affix and Renegade's retreat as a location because of the constant daze which basically means silence, it's not that it slows me down much it's just infuriating. Witchwater can be really annoying for a barb using slow attack speed 2handers because it's really hard to dodge the stuns so it depends on your character and playstyle.. doesn't matter for my thorns barb though, I walk around and everything kills itself xD
my biggest problem is gear fall-off in the mid 60's. I have 3 toons in the mid 60's and all of a sudden everything thats dropping for me is trash. Worse stats than what im wearing, lower dps weps, bad affixes etc. farm in WT4 and the ancestrals still sucking statwise.
The reason why I spend so much time, like you pointed out, managing my inventory and what to sell/scrap is because the usable loot is so uncommon, I may go 10 levels with no upgrades. It's crazy how much loot is junk, and with crafting being purely random, and with only 4 stash tabs, it makes for a very slow experience. The one time I get a usable item, I don't want to miss it, so I have to review everything. For example, around level 20 or so I got a bow with a 90 dex stat, which is super unusual. This game is really far behind in development, the crafting should only get better as you level up, with the ability to craft each stat separately as you get to higher levels, so you can build out your gear as well as you can build out the skill tree. Sometimes I wonder if the 4 developers in the interviews are the only 4 people working on this game. Also with 4 stash tabs, I cannot save items that may be used on other characters, it's very frustrating, because good items are so rare, I don't want to sell off what I spent so much time getting in the first place.
it surely is sad, that we only have 4 loot tabs in the chest, especially if you wanna go for more than one char (not counting double same class as Luxthos has with his Necro). I would prefer having like 3-4 tabs per char and only the 4th being available to the whole account as it would be enough to share the loot to other chars. regarding your other points: if you need that much time figuring out if it is an upgrade or not, your obviously at bare minimum level 90. else, as Luxthos said: you are indeed wasting time. get a rough idea which items might be easily getting an upgrade like his lvl 51 boots whilst being lvl 93, and dont care too much for items which have a decent level, good stats overall (depending on your class) and a good affix imprint. I also didn't get an upgrade for the last 5-10 levels and I'm at 93 now with my necro. as I got all the aspects that I need imprinted on my gear on high to max quality, I don't care too much for a possible item upgrade, as long as I don't have the required aspect saved as this might take 10th of hours to get it again with a high roll. Why would you want to be able to change all stats and make the perfect gear? this would kill the whole game within a few hours. there would be no reason to do anything in the game anymore because there will never be a serious upgrade again. you just farm until you got every item on 800+ then put your stats on, imprint the aspects and then go delete the char because its done. of course it is frustrating from time to time if you dont get an upgrade or you find a nice high roll 2h weapon but then 2/4 stats are just bullshit for your build. but whatever. thats the game. dont bother and go for more efficient farming and you will eventually find what you need.
the biggest issue is that you dont have a freaking search bar in your chest inventory i dont know how much time i wasted searching for an affix in the chest i wanted to extract ... the game is made for console and it shows cause why wouldnt you put some kind of filter option in i mean you cant even choose how you sort your items also the amount of space you get is so low i mean 1 chest with 4 tabs for all you chars is a little low imo for every char i got i have 2 lvl1 chars to store items on ....
Yeah, I got a lot of upgrades early on during leveling but now I'm still using legendaries 15-20 levels below me because I haven't gotten anything since that is good enough to replace them.
This might've been said already: Shockwave aspect for druid is very low drop rate. Over 50k obuls spent, hundreds of NM dungeons, etc, zero Shockwave aspect drops!
Excellent tips and video, thanks! Does anyone know if there is a "sell all junk" button for console (PS5)? Edit: nvm found it. I don't know how I was missing that before!
haha 4:08 … what a vicious cycle. this has helped thanks meng high risk high reward noob question , is it better to add aspects or codex to your gear ? what’s the preferred method if it’s a thing
Theres a few affixes i stay away from but i play for the fun of it i dont personally do the whole midmax thing i call it taking a stroll down nitemeer lane, (yes) i meant to spell it that way. But ive personally seen all of the standard uniques and have 0 issues with loot i get tons of it idk how many raimants ive seen and those are decently rare. Moral here is dont take it too seriously just do what you find fun, if you find it fun to do it my way go for it if you find it fun to midmax the crap out of everything do it its a game and it gives you multiple outlets to channel your inner fun so let that be your guide
Thanks for the item level tip! It helps a lot. Unfortunately Xbox does not have the same button to organize like that. We can push in on right stick to organize them by type, but not item level 😢
Is that site accurate? I been using the wrong one. I found another one that is totally different. For example, it says the Grandfather drops by spiders and vampires but on the site you share it's zombies and knights.
Trying to find a new two handed sword for my Necro and what sucks was hoping to get it from the obols vendor but they literally only give 1 handed which kinda sucks lol I tried twice and not a single 2 handed
There are some huge issues with d4 and loot. My sorcerer got its last item to equip at lvl 68. i am now 81 and i still haven't got a item to even consider replacing. I have been really lucky with loot, but that also sorta ruined the game for me. Im farming my ass of for tiny increments in gear. They should cap loot so you could only get the best gear at max level, and not almost be there at 60-70. Cause now i have no incentive to keep playing and keep leveling other than paragon points. Sure, there are still items im gonna get, but nothing gonna be major at this point. Nothing like going from a 650 weapon to a 799. At best i can get a new weapon with tiny dps upgrade or small stat increases. Just takes away from the game rather hard and make me wanna play less, when everything i pickup is immediately sold
I feel like if you just added an additional 30 seconds of scrutiny before you ran your nm dungeon you could run the most efficient dungeons rather than say hey these few aren't "bad" so I'll just pick one at random.
It’s not just about finding uniques. I barely ever find any regular items or legendaries that I would call upgrades. I sell or salvage 90% of everything. And I’m only 68. I haven’t upgraded in forever in any meaningful way. I feel weaker than I should be leading towards the capstone. If all aspects could be saved in the codex based on your best rolls round that would be sweet and save so much inventory space. But nope. I have to find good aspects, good items to imprint on, and uniques, and my stash space in in shambles lol
lol i didn't even realized there was a "Mark for Junk" function. Your sorting before selling tipp was really helpfull saves a lot of time, because just like you said i waste actually more time in evaluating the loot than time in nm-dungeons. 👍
This is all nice and useful unless you are a druid, im lvl 99 been doing only NM dungs since 70 and havent seen a single tempest roar. After the patch and “fixes” i got my first ever temerity then back to getting useless items again lol
Very helpful guide! Though I will say when you know your stats (especially what other classes need) it is defo worth selling them on the Market. For a quick example, I looted a level 60 wand, 786 Item power and it had vuln, crit and core. From glance, it contains value (basing example on weapons) and that sold for 30 million within 5 minutes. Although the video is for efficiency/target looting, it makes a lot of sense! However it could be worth noting that selling gear you don't need to funnel into 800 + Item power bis stats is also efficient when reaching the 90-100 mark opposed to just vendoring (one mans junk is another mans treasure)! Edit: It is also worth noting that the vendor gear (scales with level) is 100% worth investing into for checking min-max rolls. I managed to find an 821 sword which had Crit/Core/Close, which ended up selling for about 285mil. It becomes easier to sell and buy than farm (for rare gear)!
I’ve gotten 8-10 uniques. 2 werebear chest, 6 werewolf chest, and the rest are the were bear/wolf ring…just a grip of duplicates and I’m not saying you should never get a dupe but damn. I got 2 of the werewolf chests within an hour of each other…
does nightmare tier effect item level or does loot just scale the same based on your character level like is doing tier 100 even worth it other than the character title
The issue ive been running into is the same damn legendaries keep dropping. And its always the ones Ive gotten from dungeons when I need the non-dungeon ones to replace on better gear. Im slide Druid and Ive seen the slide aspect drop once. The one I have. Also the pulverize wave aspect. Cant find it anywhere. Ive also gotten a dozen bear uniques and never seen a werewolf one.
I quickly as soon as dungeon is over I scan power levels and stats and junk my invintory and then I port scrap or sell all depending on what I need usually it’s money so I’ll sell all junk then pop ANMD and run again rinse repeat. I don’t just target ancestry because typical you can complete fill invintory if you don’t take gems, and drop blues when ur full, worst case sinerio u gotta junk sell port back in for last couple which could easily be 100 k plus in loot
For a long while you're going to want to loot absolutely everything. You will need all of the materials and gold you can get, and rerolling becomes extremely expensive later on. It's not smart just ignoring all of the vendor trash until you already have a ridiculously high surplus on materials, gold and don't actually need many upgrades in general. What happens is that all your previous "efficiency" is out of the window when you end up spending all of your gold and have nothing left, then you have to actually go run a few normal dungeons to get vendor trash, or just wait a long while before getting enough from NM dungeons to actually reroll/upgrade again. Taking two minutes to scan a full inventory and then sell will be faster than having to rerun specific dungeons again and again to get gold overall.
First day on WT4 at level 62 I got a unique and three legendaries all level 780+. Over the next week almost nothing but sacred stuff. Level 74 and still the same. Seems like they made changes to the loot tables. Not even the NM dungeons are dropping ancestrals. The same loot is dropping in 4 as it did in 3. Even the rare elites are dropping power level 600s! Been doing every Helltide for 4 days straight and the same results, averaging 3-4 chest each. It doesn't help that the reg chests give rares more than legendaries either. In other words, I AM efficiently farming and still not getting much. I'm embarrassed to admit the hours I've invested too...
I just run the helltides, hitting all the events and chests especially the mystery ones that aren’t in the map. And also I have wayyyy stronger players run me through crazy high tier 100 sigil a.
First time here. I enjoy how there was no use of plurals here. Run the video back. Its rather endearing. No shade. Now, back to the topic at hand... i would say be wary of ignoring. If you are not super bleeding edge, sacred can have better rolls and give you more chances to upgrade. If the items are close to the final breaking point of 725, even better! Lets not forget how expensive things can be with endgame gear. I am gold starved now because I adopted that "ignore junk" mentality. Sure, it means more time going back to town but if you have fast load times, its negligible. Tree of Whispers for quick dumps and efficiency. Good info to consider here. Thanks!
instead of pulling and running from pack to pack of elite for farming. some players think that by kill all minions in dungeon is the effective way for farming. totally a waste of time per hr. lol
The major problem is not farming the gear, to me is getting the right stats and Enchanting is just too freaken expensive. Just 3 rerolls gets you over a million gold to reroll, when in Diablo 3 it takes about 20 to 30 times to reach over a million. It just cost too freaken expensive so mainly I’m farming not only for item power, but whether if that has the right stats…
D2 and D3 had simple common sense ways to target farm gems/uniques/set pieces, runewords and use the cube to have control over what and how you got things.. it was very well put together. Blizzard looked at all of that and said..._F-uck you, do only 1 actvity constantly for everything. Way to take 20 years of progress and throw it out the window. It's just a big massive slot machine where you have control over none of it.
Yeah not being able to target farm in a loot type game is ridiculous...I feel like they try and make diablo games complicated for literally no reason... Just let certain bosses drop certain loot hell even have it that certain dungeons is the only places loot drops... Having world drops for literally everything is horrible. Cause its all just 1 big gamble I play borderlands a lot and thankfully u can target farm and ACTUALLY farm bosses for drops. I like diablo games but they do a lot of stuff wrong imo.
Well, a lot of things will probably change soon. It's just launch-content so far, they most likely made the decision to get the game out sooner with a simple time-consuming grind to keep people occupied. I mean, PoE is light-years ahead of D4, but it didn't even have a complete campaign at launch. Same with D2 and D3, at launch and for even years it wasn't anywhere near the current versions.
All he said was literally common sense And I literally don't use ancestrals even tho I have xbows that are 500 more dmg I won't stop using my unique over it because every first hit is always a crit vs the 500 dmg
Problem isn't that I'm not getting loot. I'm getting tons of loot, it's just all trash.
Nightmare Dungeons aren't just about the loot though, they are the best xp per hour. Plus it's the only way to upgrade your glyphs. So you have those 2 bonuses on top of having a better chance to find the loot you want.
They’re also really boring, repetitive, and rife with annoying affixes.

@@SandyBoxes All i really want is new classes and xpac for D2R. I never needed D4. POE is much fun also but imo too complicated. Im looking forward to poe2.
@ThickSkinShredders you should give last epoch a try if you havent. Its like, in between diablo 3 and poe in terms of mechanics and complexity.
@@SandyBoxesI can't with poe, it's too much for me. D4 is the perfect balance of complexity and fun for me.
Just a side note, if you haven’t gotten a nice boot with necessary stats with + run speed. Definitely try to get one. It will instantly boost your speed in running dungeons.
If you have speed on boots+amulet it’s amazing. I had a 20 movement speed on amulet but unfortunately gave it up for damage.
@@pjw4125 currently i am doing max 150k damage and gave up some damage for speed on boots. Night and day difference. I am clearing faster with less damage.
@@Thedreaminthemyst I’m doing around 2 million max damage and I run the unique boots that have speed and leave the ice trail. Boots don’t normally give that much damage. What did you give up?
dude, I am lvl85 and the number of boots I´ve found that have mvmt speed on it at all is like < 10
I have no idea what´s going on ^^
@@gerritkusenberg3600 what I do is quickly scan my ancestry rares. If it has 3 out of 4 things I want. Spend a few million to try and reroll the one you don’t want. Sometimes you get lucky and what you want comes up within a few rolls.
Loot everything and sell it or junk it. Check which armor have a lower item level for a specific slot. It takes me about 3 minutes to sell everything and go back to the dungeon.
Exactly. You will absolutely want the gold and materials.
Lower item level isn't necessary bad.
@@Proxima689 it isnt but if you are pushing higher tiers you want more armor and lower item levels have less armor on it.
@@justr1809yes but u want to look if that item will hit the breakpoint when u upgrade it. The stats will reroll after it hits the breakpoint. So a poor roll on good stats can turn into good rolls after u upgrade it fully
This even get easier when you have acquired uniques that are essential to your build. I at least have 2 in mine and I automatically mark those that belong on the same slot as junk. Additionally, weapons are easy because there are weapon types. Also, I automatically mark as junk those non ancestral items.
He’s correct about efficiency. Literally just got a temerity by going dungeon to dungeon at my level. Had a drought until that
Also, you can cut time by TP to the tree of Whispers or Gerriar if you need to use other shops that ain't for clearing an Invertory
Every item over ilevel 700 is what you want to focus on. You can get it to 725 and get it into the highest tier. Item level over 725 doesn't even matter so focusing on the highest Item level is just not the way to go.
Then again, armor chest, weapons and helmet might be excluded because of the damage of the weapons with higher item power and the armor since those 2 pieces a higher armor curve.
Some of my best items I have found has been like sacred ilevel 700 something and then upgraded by the blacksmith and re-rolled into the highest tier.
The sad part is that a sacred ilevel 725 is just the same as a Ancestral 840 ilevel when it comes to the stats parameters on stats (excluding armor and raw damage power).
So in a video about efficiency I don't see how not picking up sacred items being more efficient since you increase your chances of getting a good item. Not by much I would say but still in a game all about loot I don't know why people don't focus more on this.
It's not worth it to pick sacreds up? How so? My gloves got perfect rolls on 2 stats I wanted and almost perfect on the 3d which I also need. I then also rerolled them for +2 ranks in Twisted Blades. Then upgraded them to ilvl tier 725+ and bam got +4 to said skill and the gloves are just crazy!
This is just a lucky example but I don't see why not having this extra chance when it absolutely can happen 😁
I'm just casual and this diablo seems to be far more complicated than the old ones!
I agree. Last game I played was Diablo 2 haha
Maximum xp/time/reward formula is;
1. Complete highest possible key you can, this is your PB.
2. Find the highest and most comfortable dungeon you can complete (maybe without using potions etc), this will be your CD.
3. Find midway point between [PB:CD], this is your 'cap'.
4. Understanding that loot tables completely unlock at mob level 85, in turn level 31 nightmare dungeons should be the bare 'minimum'. Dungeon level effects experience, but does not chance the loot tables.
5. Ensure all keys you're looking to complete fall between [Minimum-Cap].
6. Start running these keys, with a focus on objectives.
My 100 WW Barb is completing dungeons (within my min-cap) in about 3-4 minutes, and get between 3-6 legendaries per run. PR runs take me usually 15-20 minutes, with roughly the same amount of legendaries dropping of similar value.
[Min-Cap]
1 - 1.5 Legendaries/ Per minute.
[PR]
0.2 - 0.3 Legendaries/ Per minute.
So you would in theory get 20% more loot from [min-cap] farming, over farming higher/lower dungeons randomly - Anecdotal figures, but something to keep in mind.
-BIS 100 WW Barb (missing harl/gfather), 1000+ dungeons complete.
bro put missing harl gfather 😂

So you saying at level 100 you should just farm tier 31 For
level 85 mobs to be fast?
@@maddog3467 how slow are you?
I only look at the last two lines of the sigil on my Sever Infinimist Necro as this could be: less dmg from close or less shadowdmg which I don't care too much through all the dungeon but at a boss/high solo elite/a random butcher, this is what costs me the most time.
Good info, except the part of 3 levels up from you. This has been fixed and the higher mob level the more xp you get, infinitely. So it 100% comes down to efficiency.
Which patch brought this in? I missed it in patch notes!
Higher level monster always gave you more experience, there was never any "fix" for this. However there is still a 25% BONUS experience you get for killing monsters 3 levels higher then you. This is still the case, this bonus doesn't go higher then 3 levels, after that you simply get a linear increase of experience based on monster level, this never changed since the release of the game.
Call it what you wanna call it, fix or buff, whatever. It was changed in the patch with the nightmare dungeon buffs. You still get the 25% XP increase even if mobs are 50 levels above you, not just 3 like you said.
I 100% disagree with this: "It's to farm as much as you can, as fast as you can". No. The point of the game is to enjoy it. It's ok to not care if it takes you twice as long to get to 100, or get the item you are looking for, if you are enjoying the ride to 100. Don't make the mistake of turning the game, into work. Just have fun.
the real reason i'm not getting any loot is because i'm not playing the game, but i'm gonna watch this anyway
Mostly agreed however I would pick up sacred weapons, especially 2handers. You need a crapload of gold in this game and everytime you go to town, which should be after every nightmare dungeon since the extra travel time is negligible for even the fastest players now you can port to dungeons, you want to have a full inventory so you can grab as much of that juicy gold as possible because the last thing you wanna do is go back for a pure goldgrinding session later just so you can reroll the items you've stashed. Since 1 nm dungeon hardly ever fills my inventory with strictly ancestral stuff I generally grab the sacred weapons as well. 1handers are about equal in price to armourpieces and 2handers are even more valuable. Since they are yellow outlined you can instant mark them in your selling round so that hardly costs any extra time as well while it does bring in a lot of goldincome.
For the modifiers I generally don't even look at them too hard as well to shave off some extra time I got a list of mods I do want on every item and if a quick scan shows 2 mods that aren't on that list, which I think is faster to spot than running through 1 by 1 if 3 mods do fit on the list, then it's marked. If 3 mods do fit the list it goes to the stashtab. Then finally something the video shows but doesn't tell, stop picking up gems at some point. Personally anticipating the tier 8 rumors I've got 300 royals each which if they remain 3 to 1 would be 27 royals per tier 8 gem so about 10 tier 8's of each should do just fine for a long ass while still.
One more list I keep is raxx's solo xp tierlist for nightmare dungeons, that's my only selection process, S and A are instant runs, B's are save for backup, C&D is salvage. This one works great for loot as well because the same things that count for xp also work really well for loot, namely more elites and more mob density. If the mods suck I call it a skill issue and try to outplay it anyway because wth it's still a game right gotta have some fun and challenge sometimes even if it does hurt efficiency in this case :P But if that doesn't work for you clearly the first line method is also great. Finally you could keep a list of events on the side that you will and won't run because it really does matter a lot. However here xp and loot do not always run in harmony as some events are very dense with great loot drops but absolutely trash for xp because the mobs spawn with next to no base xp value.
Honestly nice tips you have. Love the one about doing hard dungeons because of the fun. ❤️ Don't really see content creators focus on the fun side. A lot of them are really negative actually 😕
@@Party21304 Unfortunately yea. The meta is supposed to work for us, not the other way around :p I just had a Champions Demise with Potion breaker, Cold Elites, and -40% close dps on my Rogue. So every Shaman's target 1 taps me, but I can't kill the Shaman cus of Champions, and I can't kill the Champions cus I get frozen and 1tapped by the Shaman's target :P Ended up using an Exlixir of Fortitude to survive that but because of Potionbreaker I couldn't sustain the freezes still so I end up Poison Trapping the Shamans to cancel their channel while I kill the Champions, then finish the Shamans and finally slay the pack at last. Big ass hassle and probably the longest Champion's Demise run in human history but it's Dungeon's like that that keep me going for long sessions. Twice as efficient means nothing if I quit of boredom 4 times as early.
Amen brotha! That is actually exactly what i do as well, got a screen shot of raxx's s to b tier list that i run, i pick up sacreds as well to sell em and insta junk mark them to not waste time looking at them, 10p% to everything u wrote!
Just spent 29.1 mill on my gear ugh. I loot all golds. Blues/whites/gems...bye Felicia. You can literally follow me through dungeons with my trail of crap
@@justanobody3219 Misread your comment for a sec so lemme redo that xD Yeah Gems especially with the value decrease are awful wastes of time. Golds I'd say only ancestrals and sacred weapons. Then if you're about to tp just fill up the bags on the final room cus why not. Legendaries however are always worth with the massive gold cost boost they get.
Here’s what you do - if you’re in tier 4; after a dungeon, hit sort and all blues and sacred’s mark as junk, sell them or dismantle them, sort again, compare your gear to the new gear and look for your top 2 most important stars.
If it has them move on and check the rest. After everything else is marked junk then go back a 3rd time and actually look at the items.
Boom, should take you roughly 3 minutes or less, then you can start the next dungeon.
If u know what kind of stats u need it takes 15 sec, if it does not have 3/4 stats u need mark as junk u see that in 0.5 sec
Marking as junk takes time. Just scan through for anything worth keeping. Drop it on the ground and then salvage "all items".
I'd imagine some see this is simple info that everyone has but as someone new to ARPGs, inventory management is something I have been struggling with as I am a loot whore and haven't learned yet what I need and what I can sell/salvage/drop. Turns out I was sort of on the right track. Thanks for posting.
I'm at the point where if it isn't Great Staff of the Crone or Tempest Roar I'm not even picking it up. I can find all the legendaries, but it won't matter, companion legendaries suck, werewolf and storm legendaries suck without tempest roar and Crone. Ive been forced into a build I dont enjoy because Ive only found uniques that support pulverize druid.
Thank you as I have been target farming dungeons for a couple days and have only gotten a couple good drops, nothing amazing. Spending a lot of time and sigil powder trying to craft specific dungeons to run for the loot. Not really working
If you'd like an emotional song by them, there are a couple. Akatsuki Unfinished FROM WAAAY back when they were still much newer, and their song called No Rain, No Rainbow Legend S Baptism XX.
Question if you're in a group and the box is open does everyone see the same loot? Or is it different loot for every player?
I cant wait until we get access to more stash tabs.. i usually run into dungeons and when i come out I just throw it all in my stash get back in another dungeon then sort through about 2 stash pages of gear at a time when it fills up.
Yea I sort note the next item tier (so for me now looking to push over 800+; so sell rares 774 and down) keep legendaries and uniques and look later.
If you just pay attention to the item power it moves you in the right direction
Those boots were actually good. You could roll something if you didn’t like and the corpse tender would go to 3 when you upgrade them. Your boots are crazy old lol.
Great farming information. Very very helpful.
my problem is i get the same three aspects over and over,
Basically, if you're below lvl100, spam nightmare dungeons and slowly build into better and better gear.
If you're level 100 and you only need a few pieces, go target farm them.
At 92 I've had every Unique EXCEPT Black River the one I really want often multiple times over.
I've gotten the two handed Scythe probably 5-10 times and all I want is one Black River lol
I'm playing Hardcore so this is largely not so good advice for me but I appreciate the sort info. GGs. Dropped a like. Iite, off to the Kombat Kast now.
Really good advice. Also the way you so naturally avoid using plural nouns is really interesting.
3:45 "A couple nightmare dungeon" is the term I use when I go to visit the in-laws.
I found what’s best for me is to check the gear right away when it drops if it’s better I equip if not junk I don’t fill up inventory I trash them if it’s useless for materials or sell for gold I only play with one build I like and that’s it no need to fill up inventory
I plan on upgrading my storm druid to a wolf storm druid and I have trouble with inventory because I try to keep an extra set of gear for when I get the drone staff unique to make my Stormclaw
I JUST got my first Penitent Greaves yesterday on my level 84 rogue. That’s just how RNG works. There are guys who have like 10 of them and I just got one.
Running a flurry shot rogue and weapon and armor drops suck. Running Tier III lvl 53. I ran a dungeon last night and did finally get a worthy Legendary cross bow, but I noticed quite a few bosses are dropping nothing at all. Freed a Stronghold and very low drops, just a couple rares the rest grays.
Tempest Roar is just a myth at this point
I have 160 hours on my druid not a single tempest roar but 3 Vasily prayer
Tempest roar doesn't exist just like North Dakota
3 druids level 70 4th at 43 no roar or staff
This comment is bringing depression to druid mains :*(
They exist haha, I’ve gotten several at this point. Funny thing is I don’t even use them 😂
Great content. You just saved me from stressing too much about this game. 😅
As far as dungeons go depending on your character/build there's gonna be some locations and affixes that you wanna avoid, for me with my rogue I absolutely despise Drifting shade as an affix and Renegade's retreat as a location because of the constant daze which basically means silence, it's not that it slows me down much it's just infuriating. Witchwater can be really annoying for a barb using slow attack speed 2handers because it's really hard to dodge the stuns so it depends on your character and playstyle.. doesn't matter for my thorns barb though, I walk around and everything kills itself xD
Same here. Every 5 seconds for drifting shade, is beyond ridiculous
i quit getting loot around the same time i uninstalled, im not sure if that helps but can you please advise?
my biggest problem is gear fall-off in the mid 60's. I have 3 toons in the mid 60's and all of a sudden everything thats dropping for me is trash. Worse stats than what im wearing, lower dps weps, bad affixes etc. farm in WT4 and the ancestrals still sucking statwise.
The reason why I spend so much time, like you pointed out, managing my inventory and what to sell/scrap is because the usable loot is so uncommon, I may go 10 levels with no upgrades. It's crazy how much loot is junk, and with crafting being purely random, and with only 4 stash tabs, it makes for a very slow experience. The one time I get a usable item, I don't want to miss it, so I have to review everything. For example, around level 20 or so I got a bow with a 90 dex stat, which is super unusual. This game is really far behind in development, the crafting should only get better as you level up, with the ability to craft each stat separately as you get to higher levels, so you can build out your gear as well as you can build out the skill tree. Sometimes I wonder if the 4 developers in the interviews are the only 4 people working on this game. Also with 4 stash tabs, I cannot save items that may be used on other characters, it's very frustrating, because good items are so rare, I don't want to sell off what I spent so much time getting in the first place.
it surely is sad, that we only have 4 loot tabs in the chest, especially if you wanna go for more than one char (not counting double same class as Luxthos has with his Necro). I would prefer having like 3-4 tabs per char and only the 4th being available to the whole account as it would be enough to share the loot to other chars.
regarding your other points: if you need that much time figuring out if it is an upgrade or not, your obviously at bare minimum level 90. else, as Luxthos said: you are indeed wasting time. get a rough idea which items might be easily getting an upgrade like his lvl 51 boots whilst being lvl 93, and dont care too much for items which have a decent level, good stats overall (depending on your class) and a good affix imprint.
I also didn't get an upgrade for the last 5-10 levels and I'm at 93 now with my necro. as I got all the aspects that I need imprinted on my gear on high to max quality, I don't care too much for a possible item upgrade, as long as I don't have the required aspect saved as this might take 10th of hours to get it again with a high roll.
Why would you want to be able to change all stats and make the perfect gear? this would kill the whole game within a few hours. there would be no reason to do anything in the game anymore because there will never be a serious upgrade again. you just farm until you got every item on 800+ then put your stats on, imprint the aspects and then go delete the char because its done.
of course it is frustrating from time to time if you dont get an upgrade or you find a nice high roll 2h weapon but then 2/4 stats are just bullshit for your build. but whatever. thats the game. dont bother and go for more efficient farming and you will eventually find what you need.
the biggest issue is that you dont have a freaking search bar in your chest inventory
i dont know how much time i wasted searching for an affix in the chest i wanted to extract ...
the game is made for console and it shows cause why wouldnt you put some kind of filter option in i mean you cant even choose how you sort your items
also the amount of space you get is so low i mean 1 chest with 4 tabs for all you chars is a little low imo
for every char i got i have 2 lvl1 chars to store items on ....
Amen 🙏🏻
Inventory is indeed very limited. I'm hoping we get some big improvement in Season One!
Yeah, I got a lot of upgrades early on during leveling but now I'm still using legendaries 15-20 levels below me because I haven't gotten anything since that is good enough to replace them.
This might've been said already: Shockwave aspect for druid is very low drop rate. Over 50k obuls spent, hundreds of NM dungeons, etc, zero Shockwave aspect drops!
Good information, subscribed.
Excellent tips and video, thanks! Does anyone know if there is a "sell all junk" button for console (PS5)?
Edit: nvm found it. I don't know how I was missing that before!
I really like your pov on alot of stuff thanks alot 🥰
haha 4:08 … what a vicious cycle. this has helped thanks meng high risk high reward
noob question , is it better to add aspects or codex to your gear ? what’s the preferred method if it’s a thing
Great video and solid advice!
Great video, very informative, thank you!
Theres a few affixes i stay away from but i play for the fun of it i dont personally do the whole midmax thing i call it taking a stroll down nitemeer lane, (yes) i meant to spell it that way. But ive personally seen all of the standard uniques and have 0 issues with loot i get tons of it idk how many raimants ive seen and those are decently rare. Moral here is dont take it too seriously just do what you find fun, if you find it fun to do it my way go for it if you find it fun to midmax the crap out of everything do it its a game and it gives you multiple outlets to channel your inner fun so let that be your guide
Thanks for the item level tip! It helps a lot. Unfortunately Xbox does not have the same button to organize like that. We can push in on right stick to organize them by type, but not item level 😢
They organize by type and item power on all platforms.
@@bipolarexpress9827 what he said! All items that r orginized by type r also orginized by IP as well
Press down on the stick to organize. Also, works in stash.
That was in an update. As if qol wasn't important until we say it is.😂
Is that site accurate? I been using the wrong one. I found another one that is totally different. For example, it says the Grandfather drops by spiders and vampires but on the site you share it's zombies and knights.
Trying to find a new two handed sword for my Necro and what sucks was hoping to get it from the obols vendor but they literally only give 1 handed which kinda sucks lol I tried twice and not a single 2 handed
There are some huge issues with d4 and loot. My sorcerer got its last item to equip at lvl 68. i am now 81 and i still haven't got a item to even consider replacing. I have been really lucky with loot, but that also sorta ruined the game for me. Im farming my ass of for tiny increments in gear. They should cap loot so you could only get the best gear at max level, and not almost be there at 60-70. Cause now i have no incentive to keep playing and keep leveling other than paragon points.
Sure, there are still items im gonna get, but nothing gonna be major at this point. Nothing like going from a 650 weapon to a 799. At best i can get a new weapon with tiny dps upgrade or small stat increases. Just takes away from the game rather hard and make me wanna play less, when everything i pickup is immediately sold
If you find ancestral with 2 needed affixes, use it and re-roll the 3rd. If you are looking for perfect upgrades, you'll be waiting a long time.
Anyone else also wish over 800 pieces were a different color?
Dropped two butchers cleaver yesterday.. literally want any other unique for my build.
I feel like if you just added an additional 30 seconds of scrutiny before you ran your nm dungeon you could run the most efficient dungeons rather than say hey these few aren't "bad" so I'll just pick one at random.
It’s not just about finding uniques. I barely ever find any regular items or legendaries that I would call upgrades. I sell or salvage 90% of everything. And I’m only 68. I haven’t upgraded in forever in any meaningful way. I feel weaker than I should be leading towards the capstone. If all aspects could be saved in the codex based on your best rolls round that would be sweet and save so much inventory space. But nope. I have to find good aspects, good items to imprint on, and uniques, and my stash space in in shambles lol
did he say for fun farm shako? more rare than a Mirror of Kalandra lol gl
lol i didn't even realized there was a "Mark for Junk" function. Your sorting before selling tipp was really helpfull saves a lot of time, because just like you said i waste actually more time in evaluating the loot than time in nm-dungeons. 👍
Lvl 77 necro and i have multiple uniques altrady , been already doing ehat you saying here. Just play the game and enjoy! Do notbewstw tome
This is all nice and useful unless you are a druid, im lvl 99 been doing only NM dungs since 70 and havent seen a single tempest roar. After the patch and “fixes” i got my first ever temerity then back to getting useless items again lol
Yeah, I'm coming up on 80 and still have less than a dozen uniques, I've if which was a barbarian drop
Very helpful guide! Though I will say when you know your stats (especially what other classes need) it is defo worth selling them on the Market. For a quick example, I looted a level 60 wand, 786 Item power and it had vuln, crit and core. From glance, it contains value (basing example on weapons) and that sold for 30 million within 5 minutes. Although the video is for efficiency/target looting, it makes a lot of sense! However it could be worth noting that selling gear you don't need to funnel into 800 + Item power bis stats is also efficient when reaching the 90-100 mark opposed to just vendoring (one mans junk is another mans treasure)!
Edit: It is also worth noting that the vendor gear (scales with level) is 100% worth investing into for checking min-max rolls. I managed to find an 821 sword which had Crit/Core/Close, which ended up selling for about 285mil. It becomes easier to sell and buy than farm (for rare gear)!
Wait...how do you sell something for 30mill??😂 I'm obviously missing something here
@@halfaloafajudo9194other players, you can trade rare and below

What are good ring affix for softcore instead of max life
I’ve gotten 8-10 uniques. 2 werebear chest, 6 werewolf chest, and the rest are the were bear/wolf ring…just a grip of duplicates and I’m not saying you should never get a dupe but damn. I got 2 of the werewolf chests within an hour of each other…
I haven't seen a magic find nightmare sig since the update. Whats up with that
does nightmare tier effect item level or does loot just scale the same based on your character level
like is doing tier 100 even worth it other than the character title
This reminds me of battlefield friends "do you have a shit bucket?" "Shit buckets equals no bathroom which equals more kills!"
Thanks for the tips!
The issue ive been running into is the same damn legendaries keep dropping. And its always the ones Ive gotten from dungeons when I need the non-dungeon ones to replace on better gear. Im slide Druid and Ive seen the slide aspect drop once. The one I have. Also the pulverize wave aspect. Cant find it anywhere. Ive also gotten a dozen bear uniques and never seen a werewolf one.
I quickly as soon as dungeon is over I scan power levels and stats and junk my invintory and then I port scrap or sell all depending on what I need usually it’s money so I’ll sell all junk then pop ANMD and run again rinse repeat. I don’t just target ancestry because typical you can complete fill invintory if you don’t take gems, and drop blues when ur full, worst case sinerio u gotta junk sell port back in for last couple which could easily be 100 k plus in loot
Thank you
Neversink needs a to make a loot filter like he does for poe!!
Good advices thanks!
For a long while you're going to want to loot absolutely everything. You will need all of the materials and gold you can get, and rerolling becomes extremely expensive later on. It's not smart just ignoring all of the vendor trash until you already have a ridiculously high surplus on materials, gold and don't actually need many upgrades in general. What happens is that all your previous "efficiency" is out of the window when you end up spending all of your gold and have nothing left, then you have to actually go run a few normal dungeons to get vendor trash, or just wait a long while before getting enough from NM dungeons to actually reroll/upgrade again.
Taking two minutes to scan a full inventory and then sell will be faster than having to rerun specific dungeons again and again to get gold overall.
And not to mention repaircosts if you're going for Uber Lilith without a cheese-build. :P
The problem is, my build doesn't even work without the specific unique. So without it my farming is slow
Seems like I got more legendaries between lvl 20 and 60. Then it showed down a bit but they were sacred and what not...
after the patch, i found 3 or 4 uniques in one dungeon
First day on WT4 at level 62 I got a unique and three legendaries all level 780+. Over the next week almost nothing but sacred stuff. Level 74 and still the same. Seems like they made changes to the loot tables. Not even the NM dungeons are dropping ancestrals. The same loot is dropping in 4 as it did in 3. Even the rare elites are dropping power level 600s! Been doing every Helltide for 4 days straight and the same results, averaging 3-4 chest each. It doesn't help that the reg chests give rares more than legendaries either.
In other words, I AM efficiently farming and still not getting much. I'm embarrassed to admit the hours I've invested too...
Can you post the link for the tool to find unique's
I wish we could at least salvage without going all the way to the base.
I just want aspect of exposed flesh for necro been farming like crazy for 2 week’s averaging 100+ legendary rings a day and have yet to see one drop
I just run the helltides, hitting all the events and chests especially the mystery ones that aren’t in the map. And also I have wayyyy stronger players run me through crazy high tier 100 sigil a.
i get one piece of legendary per nightmare on avg. if i do the whisper dungeons i get 8 per run avg
Very helpful. Ty
So, I just made it to level 100 and haven't seen a single unique other than the 100% drop of mothers ring. What am I doing wrong lol
Im a noob so this really is great advice for me 😅😅😅
Legendaries aren’t what you want, uniques and ancestral rares.
An imprinted ancestral rare is 10X cheaper to affix.
You loot legendary to extract the power out of them, not to equip them.
First time here. I enjoy how there was no use of plurals here. Run the video back. Its rather endearing. No shade.
Now, back to the topic at hand... i would say be wary of ignoring. If you are not super bleeding edge, sacred can have better rolls and give you more chances to upgrade. If the items are close to the final breaking point of 725, even better!
Lets not forget how expensive things can be with endgame gear. I am gold starved now because I adopted that "ignore junk" mentality. Sure, it means more time going back to town but if you have fast load times, its negligible. Tree of Whispers for quick dumps and efficiency.
Good info to consider here. Thanks!
instead of pulling and running from pack to pack of elite for farming. some players think that by kill all minions in dungeon is the effective way for farming. totally a waste of time per hr. lol
it's a shame the game being arpg still doesn't have a lootfilter
great content!
I was definitely doing it wrong.
The major problem is not farming the gear, to me is getting the right stats and Enchanting is just too freaken expensive. Just 3 rerolls gets you over a million gold to reroll, when in Diablo 3 it takes about 20 to 30 times to reach over a million. It just cost too freaken expensive so mainly I’m farming not only for item power, but whether if that has the right stats…
D2 and D3 had simple common sense ways to target farm gems/uniques/set pieces, runewords and use the cube to have control over what and how you got things.. it was very well put together. Blizzard looked at all of that and said..._F-uck you, do only 1 actvity constantly for everything. Way to take 20 years of progress and throw it out the window. It's just a big massive slot machine where you have control over none of it.
Yeah not being able to target farm in a loot type game is ridiculous...I feel like they try and make diablo games complicated for literally no reason... Just let certain bosses drop certain loot hell even have it that certain dungeons is the only places loot drops... Having world drops for literally everything is horrible. Cause its all just 1 big gamble I play borderlands a lot and thankfully u can target farm and ACTUALLY farm bosses for drops. I like diablo games but they do a lot of stuff wrong imo.
Well, a lot of things will probably change soon. It's just launch-content so far, they most likely made the decision to get the game out sooner with a simple time-consuming grind to keep people occupied. I mean, PoE is light-years ahead of D4, but it didn't even have a complete campaign at launch. Same with D2 and D3, at launch and for even years it wasn't anywhere near the current versions.
All he said was literally common sense And I literally don't use ancestrals even tho I have xbows that are 500 more dmg I won't stop using my unique over it because every first hit is always a crit vs the 500 dmg
