I STARTED a trav barb this league and ssf'd my way to ~30sec hell trav clears as an experiment to see how long and what kind of trading I'd need to do to reach self-actualization. My summary of the experience is very simple: Do not entertain the idea of making a trav horker until you have grief and reaper's toll on your merc. Oath/Lawbringer/UW are great runewords BUT you need bases as well and the mid runes. I had horrible luck with both this league and I would have had to trade currency I didn't have for both. To give you an idea of how poor and unlucky my char was I was clearing hell act bosses with a strength runeword dimensional blade and blood crafted belt (for OW). If you absolutely have to be undergeared (I'm talking under ~10 pamys) for trav I'd suggest dual lightsabres because of ITD and similar gearing to grief but it's going to be very slow.
Proof and pudding and such. Great stuff. Ive also never gotten a high rune from trav until the other night. I popped a mal from a stash and then a council mon dropped an ohm! Same run i almost pissed myself
Highes rune i have ever found from Counsil is a Jah , also from Terrorrized Counsil a corpse droped a Sur rune and from a chest from Mephisto i have found my first ever Lo rune. :)
at first finding high runes offline was weird idea but it turns reality. First I found jah by accident and my imagination starts working. I think "only ber and I will make enigma" and I start running lower kurast... found vex, Ohm, sur, lo, ber, gul, ist😮
Pul is the highest rune I've ever gotten from Travincal. Personally, I think Travincal farming is overrated! I dropped a Ber in the Halls of Vaught while key farming, a Jah in Worldstone Level 3 and a Lo rune in the Arachnid Lair so far this ladder season.
I guess you would expect Ber or Jah every 500-700 runs. Also better to put for swap 2xSpirits or Hotos if reach for better find item, 60-65 and 70-75 % have a huge difference
I got 2 vex, an ohm and a jah in like 5 hours farming trav the other week. Offline. Spawned at players 1, tele staffed 1 screen away and changed to players 7 for p7 loot with p1 monsters.
there's a reason why trav is one of the most botted areas in all of D2 :D trav is no doubt one of the best areas (and there might be an argument for it being THE best) to MF
Just lost a fire druid in NM, RIP. Got stuck in one of those 'houses' in Lower Kurast and didn't realize I was ***stuck*** until it was too late because of the roof. Pour one out for "Henya Enjoyer" lads.
trav has always been all or nothing for me one season i found literally about 15 hrs and 3 maras tons of facets etc. but on the other hand ive went 5k runs never getting a damn thing lol
5k runs with nothing would be exceptionally rare. I average one good saleable item every like, 40 ish runs. Do you not pick up blue magic items and ID them? I sold a blue sorc orb I found in Trav for 20 Ber runes to some PvP fanatic a couple seasons ago.
@@johnt836 I forget the exact number but yeah i think its like 1 hr every 400ish runs something liek that, so while 5k runs is tough luck, i guess it can be possible. I popped like 100 kurast shields from a rack without any eths, chances are 1:20 for an eth.
Sweet Phil getting angry 15:29 🤣
You are so pleasant to watch. Such an upbeat positive person. Even when your "angry" its like nice man angry
Gonna do a pit run listening to this video.
Update: 3 runs and found an ethereal superior thresher 15% ed
Only 5 socket, worthless

TY for shearing.
@@frankenstein3163 yw glad somebody enjoyed my ramblings
Hi Phil - You should go see what dropped for Schmuck in his trav run. Some people are just born lucky I guess.
15:43 Lost connection 🤣Congratz my dude!
I get JAH today from Travi 😀
I found a nasty fcr ring this weekend.
10 fcr
10 all res
17 str
15 dex
Something else I forget AR maybe. It made me very happy.
Proof and pudding and such. Great stuff. Ive also never gotten a high rune from trav until the other night. I popped a mal from a stash and then a council mon dropped an ohm! Same run i almost pissed myself
“Better pick that up before it crashes” hahah nice
thanks for all of the fun reactions and D2R content! good stuff!
Haha the fax machine sounds were hilarious
Around 200 runs in, got myself a Ber and a Sur, couple of ums and a mal.
Quite nice
How in the earth the hydras follow you to durance @7:11? Seems bizarre. Congraz on ber! Enjoying your videos, thank you sir!
8:30 "that's not a bad ring" as he's talking about a 5-point ring lol
The shout out to SirFox is amazing 😂

Trav is only worth it with a horker
@@Mistahboogienot true 😁 i got many runs with my hammerdin too,but yes with hork is the best
Found ber at trav this season, and lower ones like vex, mal, ists
I guess you would expect Ber or Jah every 500-700 runs. Also better to put for swap 2xSpirits or Hotos if reach for better find item, 60-65 and 70-75 % have a huge difference
i think its ist per 1.5k or something ^^ thats the math on it
Im lucky to find an um in 500 runs
@@davidtom6503 is this without or with barb's Find Item?
I have only ever made a single grief & it rolled 39/398 😂
Found a Lo rune at the arcane sanctuary yesterday. My highest rune ever. Lol
Got the 700 runs correct, but I was expecting about 4-5 Highrunes. Would have been, if it wasn't you, SweetPhil ;-)
prefer zerk babo on travincal.. e.g., grief/rhyme. Warcry away and whack at them. Goes a little faster than WW and gives more gear options
Sad that you didn't include the "Spider" clip lol
on getting your Ber rune before your spirit sword broke
I cant find anything in single player to make a infinity in no luck yet but i found 3 sur 1 ber 2 ohm for my hrs
Imo Wolfhowl is literally the hardest item to roll perfectly ☠️
Cham rune, online (players 1), summon Necro, one and half years into playing
Still not running Trav! But I guess HR drop is possible…..
Done thousands of runs never found anything over a gul
trav is pretty much the only place i've found hr's in.
20 years and I still don't approve ethereal items at all. Whatever the item is, if it's ethereal it's 99% going to the vendor.
1:05 I nearly fell out of my chair LOL
Did you just say bear barb, then howl like a wolf😂
Check the stats on the item.
I can't find anything in trav.
400mf horker.
I watched this while I was dropping a deuce. Thought you all should know
I got 2 vex, an ohm and a jah in like 5 hours farming trav the other week.

For sure, a bot shouldn't be hard to program especially with how easy it is to get to trav and not to mention the gold that drops isn't too shabby.
I'd argue with the chaos sanctuary but from my personal experience.
Showing your age with that Music lol
you know whirlwind doesnt apply to %life %mana steal? so idk why you're looking for dual leech on this barb
Since when? LL doesn't apply to pvp but ML/LL always used to apply to WW PvM.
This is false information.

got an eth 195 zaka sitting in my stash since 2 weeks. no one wants to buy it
I bet if you had those griefs for all the runs you mightve found a couple more HRs
Vex is aint no highrune
