Diablo 3 - Season 30: Fast Diamond Farming via Magic Rocks

[@clotho26]

Be careful, it doesn't always drop 2 diamonds. Sometimes, no diamonds or only 1 diamond, depending on your luck.

Thinking if I save my cache. Just doing boss bounties will still be faster? Getting the gold from extra gems. Assuming I'm also getting soulshards? I think my plan is to boss bounty for gold and gems hopefully. Then switch to the "new random rifts" (sorry forgot their name) for DB's and mats. Get that 70 weapon and probably do a T6 act 4 bounty and go for cursed chest and new soft leveling from there.

Go for it. Saving your cache, you're probably looking at 75-90 minutes. Sure, you're not going to compete with people using their cache, as we should see half an hour broken this season, but 90 minutes isn't slow by any means. As far as boss bounties, the Magic Rock will be the fastest consistent way to get diamonds. You have an 83% chance of getting 2 diamonds. It's 6-7 minutes per run typically, as I put up one of my slowest runs. Plus, you have The Butcher, and can also backtrack to The Skeleton King to have 2 chances at Soul Shards. Whereas if you focus on spamming Zoltun Kulle, you're talking 14 minutes on average to get a diamond (sans 18). But my best advice here would be to just start leveling as you normally do. Because in the end, you'll still need mats to unlock the second node. It really doesn't matter if you get the diamond, yet still need 15 blues and 20 whites to actually unlock the node. Depending on how quickly you can get the mats, you might actually be Level 18, at which point, bosses make more sense, as you'll still have to face them to get the Soul Shards to salvage into gems to sell.

@@Nytegard love it dude. And ty. I'm pretty certain I'm saving cache. But also with the nerfs to the altar not sure if having it fully unlocked provides that big of a boost vs only having the 13 or 14 unlocked due to using cache. And really yea if I'd really feel up to farming staff of herding , getting lucky with ancient puzzle and hellfire ammy opening weekend.

[@blomster4304]

@@superchuck6391 Not really any luck involved with puzzle ring and hellfire amu. Amu u can just craft a bunch and you're done, puzzle ring you will likely have to reforge but with the visions the only thing slowing you down is some souls.
