With no filter you got a new sub. “My drops from 100 Baal runs” got me rolling. But you make a solid point. And your actually playing the game, not just teleporting to all the loot.. Looks like we got some new competition 😂
I started playing this when I was around 15. Which was 17 years ago. Played it daily for 7 years. Still have the game basically memorized. Seeing your hdin hit list @5:43 took me back. That was the exact same list I did. Brought back memories 😆
your explanation combined with your humor kept me interested all the way through. You made it really fun to learn about diablo2 unlike a lot of youtubers, thank you haha!
I waited soooo long to see a video like that ! I was thinking that I was the only psycho to make 15-20 min per run doing everything before reaching my destination. I'm glad it somehow pays off 😜 great content !
@@mrgzzbilou5548 haha nice...i didn't actually have any nice rune drops like you haha, but in my party we had some nice drops like cham/ohm/vex...but would share the loot.

I once did some Lower Kurast runs where I'd usually skip all the other stuff besides the super chests but my feeling told me to at least open the poppables on the way and in one run I got 2 Gul runes, both from random poppables
Thank you for this. Sharing your trading strategy is immensely helpful and something most of the other content creators leave out. But this is valuable information for a casual player.
Dude that was like a pretty detailed very informative science project! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I appreciate it and I look forward to more. 💯👌👍👀
Omg where has this video been all my life. Great video. Love the writing, the production quality, and of course, the voices when reading comments lol. As for "bear" rune, yes, this is the way.
I really, REALLY want to believe this. I played countless runs like this back in the day (I mean hundreds of them, clearing CS 100% etc.). And after all these years, the highest runes I got was a Gul. Once. And nothing above. Seriously, not a single high rune has ever dropped for me so far. And now here I am watching this video where they (compared to my experience) fall like rain.
In one of the LoD patches, they raised the high rune drop rates. That was a long time ago, but it was really brutal to legitimately get high runes before that & maybe that's when you played
I agree, I'm a bit skeptical... I enjoyed this video though, I'm glad to see how the trading is done. Highest I ever found was a Gul, but just because I'm skeptical doesn't make it false or true. I will definitely follow your advice and hopefully I too get lucky :)
I feel you bro. I didn't have any luck with high runes either. Countless of hours and runs and nothing more than a Pul. At the end, it's just luck. Some people are lucky, some aren't, that's why I don't give anything about those "farming guide" videos, because the best guide can't help you, if don't have any luck.
This video was amazing! Beautifully paced and edited and very informative. I just assumed you had a few hundred thousand subs and was shocked when I saw you only have 10k, but you're putting out the highest quality D2 content out of anyone else I've seen! Keep it up :)
wow great video dude! I like your methods especially with the more slow BUT efficient clear. Getting more stuff by clearing more mobs on the way to bosses. GG! :D!
I'd like to give further affirmation to your evidence. I found my first Ber rune while clearing ghosties on my way to countess on lvl 3, and I got my first maras by killing a mini Boss right outside of the countess room. I already got into the habit of doing this, and it feels good to see positive reinforment on this subject. Happy slaying everyone :D
Been syaing this for years. Glad some people are finally listening. Not only ghosts but trash in general. Also dont skip any interactable. Barrels, dead bodies, coffins, coffers, chests obviously.. but loose rocks.. ect
@@crisnmaryfam7344 You're just being so inefficient at that point, unless your clear speed is complete crap. By the time you've stopped to kill every trash mob, open every barrel etc. on the way to for example andariel, you've extended your run time by at least 4x, and I can guarantee that you are not getting 3 boss drops worth of value out of those chests.
I liked the comment when you said: "I Don't usually go after stragglers, but I'm glad I did." I too, have found many great drops from the occasional straggler. Great video.
The "ber" pronunciation - I think cooley has a video on it and he basically provided evidence it IS in fact "bear". Good stuff, keep up the good work!!
honestly, the bosses have yielded me almost nothing...the best drop I got was a reaper's toll but not much else from bosses. Killing the unique packs on the way to the bosses has made me semi-rich...nice video! :D
Slappy, flappy and zappy. Flloopy goopies. Amazing, first time stumbling on your vid and I love your style. Well done sir. Console scrub here and I hate that we don’t have the ability to trade up like PC does.
a possessed demon really does sound like an oxymoron, i never realised it this might be the greatest thing i got from this video, apart from useful farming tips
Well, the key of Mephisto farming (at least in original single player SSF) is that: 1) In single player you can lock the best map where the WP is very close to the entrance so the time is even shorter and 2) I believe the vampire packs are cold immune and the council members can be cold immune and Mephisto farming is usually done by a cold sorceress in garbage gear. In that common scenario above, not killing mobs on the way is the better method to go.
Possessed never made much sense to me. Are you telling me that this Demon is being Possessed by another Demon? Why not just send them both? ... wildly inefficient. Pure gold my man!
Yesterday I watched your video. Today in the same place where you've got your Jah in River of Flame found Vex. Killing monsters on road to farm place. Thank you sir!
Nice video, I subscribed. You have a unique and calm style, really cool. I'd like to admit that I hate trading. I forced myself to try it a bit after seeing your video on "Simple Trick For Enigma In 24 Minutes", and so far I got some (hopefully solid) trades. But I still don't find it enjoyable. I had this very same attitude ever since I started playing Magic back in 1996. If I wanted to study market and economics, and if I wanted to have a secondary job, I'd definitely do so in a different context than a gaming hobby. I know that it may be silly, but whatever. I have a similar farming route as you have, except that I jump through Arcane Sanctuary to kill the Summoner, and then I completely skip CS due my Finite Sorceress (got it?) being a git too squishy for that area. I added Lower Kurast, not that anything ever drops, but it's kinda funny to scavenge the huts. For those people who shy away from trades and/or who don't have tens of hours weekly to spend in D2R, I realized that it's kinda profitable to farm the thrash/low runes and Pgems. People won't give you anything enigmatic for that, but gems drop like flies, and all those Nef, Ral, and Amn runes can be sold in bulk for either a crappy item you need or a mid rune. It doesn't seem like much, but as long as your character has space in backpack, and the D2R inventory managment is much more user-friendly than the old drag-and-move style of LoD, farming this garbage is not that annoying. After all, what would you pick up when nothing else dropped? And yep, it's [ber] rune, that's true! Cheers!
I’ve been preaching this to my brother. He thinks I’m just super lucky with my drops but it’s really just clearing everything instead of teleing to a destination 100x. The best drops are during the journey and not the destination. I found a 2OS COA recently, zod, Jah, 3xvex in chaos sanctuary single player. Found eth titans in bloodmoor. Many many other goodies, always found before the destination. I kill everything in my path. Takes more time but it’s more rewarding.
D2r has to have way different rune drop rates than original LoD. Btw I'm 100% with you with the Ber rune pronunciation. And it IS correct, too. I've called it "bear" since I first read about it when I picked up the strategy guide as a kid when LoD came out and I bought the battle pack
Literally a day after watching this I stopped to kill a mob of ghosts in arcane sanc whole key farming. Got a vex. Came back to this video to leave this comment. Good advice.
This video is so good. I love how you told a story instead of just a drop video.
Seriously. I don't usually sub when I see a random video like this but I did.
you got more high rune in 50 runs than i got from month of playing and cleaning everything.
He clears like 10 areas each run... so it's more like 500 runs while nearly fully clearing (all champions and bosses along the way)
