Honor Neun yes but the other usual farm spots that he has listed drops the other uniques that you either want or don't want and in which case you are looking for something more specific than another Druid mallet for example or an unique ring that is not a SoJ. Shako has always eluded me from the usual farm spots but not in Cows and Griswald in Tristam Nightmare more than Hell difficulty. D2 has always been that ARPG game to have a reason to lower the difficulty for many reasons when hunting or magic finding specific unique items. Don't get too attached to playing Hell Mode all the time😉.

The best place to find Shako is repeated Andariel runs. Seeing as how Shako is ilvl 69 and Andariel is mlvl 75 you have a higher probability vs running cows or baal runs, all of which have higher mlvl and therefor significantly larger loot pools. Clickbait videos are great but please know what you're doing/talking about before giving advice to others.

lol Writs leg....Its Wirts leg, also the reason ppl farm in nightmare for certain stuff is because of the item level. the higher the monster the more diverse the item level can be drastically reducing your chances of finding certain items.so many people thathave only played diablo 3 are in for a big surprise when a hell baal is dropping level 15 items instead of them used to mobs and bosses dropping items basically at your max level like in d3

What happens to me, that I have noticed, I do not get drops from bosses, always random mobs on way to the boss that I kill. Today was on way to Hell Andy and got first UM Rune drop in the room by the stairs at Andy's level. Got nothing from Andy, but still success.

Just to clarify, I see some comments in regards to farming Nightmare Mephisto, to my knowledge Shako is an elite item and does not drop on nightmare aside from a few high level enemies like Baal (not sure about Nihlatak). Am I wrong?
@OldSchoolGameSnob3 жыл бұрын
Mephisto in Hell can drop it, but not in nightmare. In nightmare, only Baal and Nihlathak can drop it.
@XeodianOP43 жыл бұрын
Basically they can only drop items up to their monster level, so if the monster level is only 50, they cannot drop a level 65 item. I'm unsure of this applies to runes. I only ever dropped HR off of trash mobs tbh

Nightmare Baal, yes. That's the difference. HC Meph or Baal are both problematic in Hell when teleporting to location, I also don't play single player so the map is always different. So depending on your play-style I guess. My choices are based on HC/Battlenet

I’ve commented quite a bit about MF in general on a few channels. My roommates in college wrote a white paper on MF and had a huge amount of data sets… yes sets. The main thing I took away were: the actual sweet spot MF% on character (and no highest is not best), kill speed is a huge factor in relation to just MF% and the other was capitalization on TC and the number of items average a mob/boss can drop…like Meph being TC84 iirc…. But he can drop up to six items each time uncapped on how many your MF% has affect on to turn unique. One of the cool things I remember was a data set on Pindle with an 19sec kill speed average (minus immune/game drops) would yield a really high TC twice a day at that pace with the occasional third in two week stints. There were some other mobs I won’t share here that I want to verify if they will be the same when D2R comes out as these are completely off the radar and they drop rather well when the kill speed is up especially in Nightmare of all… naturally this will cap TC but to get the bulk of great items it’s def worth it. I found it odd that runes in drop could affect other items dropped… never knew that…. Or at least the data showed something funky there. I never got to read the data set on the cow level but I remember them talking about how their overall % each was really low but they’re overall number counteracted that a bit…. And runes! Cows and runes… in higher number player count games being a thing. NM Meph can drop some great stuff in NM and with his higher count of items can be a boon… but then again that all depends on travel time and kill speed. Ooh chests and super chests River of flame and the kurast areas…. Mainly because of the guaranteed location in relation to WP was cool. This was all during I think 1.10 and that’s important cause the data was actually different from say 1.08 from which they had data from as well. One of the coolest things was the way they chose math to drive toon and build…. Like a weird Druid build for just NM on a certain mob over and over. Really neat time and that’s what actually got me into playing a bit…. But naturally and not on weird versions of bots back then. Liked your vid man! Subbed! I’m excited for D2R but I do feel they have so much work to do on it. In the betas there were still so many issues… mainly small stuff. If anyone wonders what drives two wild Asian smart computer nerds to write papers like that… well that was actually only one component to it. The other was human patterns and outcomes. Ever hear or experience you and your friends saying hey I got this to drop and a friend said I did too right around the same time or hear someone say such and such item are totally dropping right now?? And that weird feeling that item bases come and go in certain phases/cycles? Was this part of a loot wheel by design or is everything dropping and it’s your characteristic habitual gameplay that drives any of that. Now we all know humans drive to find patterns and odds are odds but they wanted to set and see what facets they could unravel if any were out in…. The bad thing that ended up being counter argued was the fact that even though their runs across all those toons were highly optimized that in itself was a certain style replicated and thus gave a ton of data on that model…. Not accounting for what they set out to do and gather all kill speeds and player behaviors. Def fun to see abs be a part of over a huge amount of time.
