Lol thanks bro, appreciate that! heh

[@capnzero06]

Yeah, worldstone keep is scary because of the burning souls. A pro tip is if you find a blackhorn keep it, save it, use it for baal runs. It gives lightning resist an the most important stat, lightning absorb!

[@bobnewkirk7003]

Really solid video, only add would be what your personal preference to farm is. For future videos I am interested in looking at "jeweler" targets from some of the discussion on your SOJ video. there is some interesting stuff there. In regard to level 85 areas: mLvL = aLvL for trash, Champs get +1 to mLvL and the Uniques and their minions get +2 to mLVL. All aLvL 85 areas drop TC87 loot, so uniques count as lvl 87 monsters, which then gives them the ability to drop the only 3 lvl 87 items in the game, Arach, Tyreals and Azurewrath (the only 3 items Pindle cant drop)

[@OldSchoolGameSnob]

Perfect. Thanks bro, that's exactly what I was trying to remember :) So you're thinking, video's taking about IE, where to find (in example) best jewelry drops? type idea? I'm open to suggestions for sure, love making these vids

[@bobnewkirk7003]

@@OldSchoolGameSnob this game is very casual unfriendly imo, so I think a lot of players are going to come back to D2R and get stuck on how hard it is. If we assume everyone gets rushed after the first week I think a lot of players are going to be looking for guides on how to find specific Uniques, so your recent guides are spot on. However, I would like to see a more data heavy comparisons of Andi vs Trav vs Specters for ring drops to show what the best use of our time is. which imo would be a lot more interesting than just saying "farm Andi till your eyes bleed". You are the first person I have seen actively advocating anything other than spam farming NM Andi for SOJ, and having the data to back that up could really get some attention imo. A lot of content creators are showcasing 100/1000 runs of X for General MF, but drilling down on atypical targets (charms, jewelry, runes) is a pretty under-explored niche as far as I have seen; if you have the time to explore it.

[@samuelsimmons9326]

Thanks for the videos. Maybe a dumb question, but are these areas top of the level area caps for Normal and Nightmare difficulties? I only ask because I play on the console and without the /players command, you have a to spend a bit more time gear hunting to balance out the slow progression in solo.

I just leveled my first character the necro to lvl 80 and he was way easier then the sorcerer I’m leveling up now. I wish everyone had some form of teleport because that really is a game changer. The teleport staff was a pain and enigma takes forever

[@Minmataro718]

In my opinion if you use teleport on every character the game gets boring. what are you telling yourself? "i need to skip most of the map because i dont want to bother". Why even play the game. Just stack run speed% and half stamina loss and zip through the zones. At least then you actually kill things. I feel everyone is in such a damn hurry. its obvious teleport is broken. Any skill that feels like its required for every class shouldnt be in the game imo.

Awesome video but I had a quick question. When farming in this lvl 85 maps (I understand anything can drop from this maps) can any npc drop anything? Or is it just the bosses or the unique/elite npc from the packs? Would hate to just ignore 99% and only kill the packs.

[@spaceidiot200]

anything can drop from any monster, but depending on how many players are in game (or single player difficulty command) the regular monsters have less chance to drop an item at all. Don't need a full 8 players for max drop rate, 3-5 is usually the good range. bosses / elites are guaranteed to drop an item regardless of player count.

For item drops (by monsters or chests) the item's level is determined by the monster's level, or the level of the area in which the chest was found. For gambling, level is determined by the level of the character gambling, with some randomness thrown in. item level = Clvl +4/-5.

It really doesn't matter as long as you're able to kill them, the items are based off area level not character level. Level only really applies to gambling for loot. As long as you're able to effectively clear it fast enough then whatever level you're comfortable at is fine
