Diablo 2 Resurrected

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Um can drop from NM Forge quest. Have you done any yet with any of your characters?

Do you mean smashing Mephisto’s soul stone? Yeah, I did that on NM already with my necro. I’ve only done one character so far. Going to do a Barbarian or Druid next after I beat Baal on Hell.

Hell

I feel like Ive hit a wall on that front. Im like 77 and I can farm nightmare easily, but Hell is a huge chore. But I dont seem to find the loot to make it easier (Blizzard Sorceress).

My advice is farm Andy in hell until you find things you can sell on d2jsp, then buy your gear slowly. Start with cheaper tal items and work your way up to occulus shako. Also farm countess for runes, Um/Mal/Ist sell well

What gear are you rocking right now? Did you craft a Lore, Rhyme or Spirit runeword? Good budget gear to help you kill until you get your Shakos, Skin of Vipermagi, SoJ's etc. Also, remember that killing speed trumps MF. If you have MF at 300% but kill Meph in 5 mins but if you go down to 200% and kill Meph in 2-3 mins it's better to do the former until you level up more and get some BiS gear until you can melt Meph a lot quicker to be worth it.

Yes smashing the soul stone. It can be a good way to get high runes easy. Seen a Twitch Streamer MrLlamaSC grab one off of a Hellforge quest. Obv. you can only do it once per difficutly, but if you do enough characters, you might get lucky.

It's not sustainable though so the best way to get mid to high runes is to do Lower Kurast chest farming, trades (ugh..) or doing Hell Countess but she is Fire and Cold Immune and can drop only up to Ist. Otherwise it's basically just hope you get lucky in LK or do Pit and Ancient Tunnel Hell runs as they can drop all items in the game there.

12 hours of farming. Ew..



Pretty decent guide..

Negative. I admit, I never really dived into the abyss of farming strats. I thought once your MF got up you had a decent shot of getting viable gear.

Well... I got a Bonesnap for my Fury Werewolf.

Would be nice if there weren't a queue like I'm waiting in line to play a fucking MMO

By Pit and Ancient Tunnels do you mean the random dungeons in the Tamoe Highlands and the Lost City, respectively? Didn’t know those were good places to look. Same with Lower Kurast. I’ve just done Countess farming on Nightmare and Hell and she consistently drops crap like Thul, Tir or Tal.

Glad I game shared this. I would have refunded it already. What a joke. Servers down again and I cannot log in to any of my characters. Blizzard has to rebuild the whole backend apparently as it's still running on an ancient b.net client from 2001.

So how would you farm for plain socketed items? For rune words?

The best way to farm for rune word materials is to actually get rid of your magic find.

Certain items you can get socketed from the Act V quest. Depending on the item you can get up to six sockets.

Remember that Magic Find has no impact on Rune drops.

For early to mid runewords Nightmare Countess is good. I just got a Hel and a bunch of Shaels from that slut- she gives it up so easy

But is there a good place to farm for just simple, plain socketed items?

 

[WhiteMousse]

Unfortunately no. It's the luck of the draw as far as sockets go. How many sockets are you looking for? If it's 1-3, you can probably pick up what you need just by killing enemies. Again if you're looking for socketed items pursuant to Runewords, the less magic find you have the better. The reason is because you can't create runewords using special, magical or unique items. It has to be just regular with sockets.

Also be aware of the different qualities of the same item. Normal and elite, etc.

 

[Hung Like a Hamster]

i have a lvl 90 Hammerdin, holla if u you rush or help

Cows

 

[steeldragon]

Ps5 been down for a few days for me, console seems fucked.

 

[Hyperglide]

But is there a good place to farm for just simple, plain socketed items?

There is. Normal Cows. Are you looking for a 4 socket Crystal or Broad Sword for the Spirit runeword? Cows drops so many whites and grays it's stupid due to the density of cows in the level. It's still random luck but it has the highest chance to drop socketed items. Like Mousse said take off your MF. D2R you may now kill the Cow King too and it won't prevent you from opening cows again. To do cows you put a tome of Town Portal + Wirts Leg (found in Act 1 Stony Field at the Cain portal where the stones are) from Tristram in your cube. Finish the current difficulty you want to do cows on, transmute the tome and leg in your cube in Rogues Encampment and start the beef slaughter.

The MF'ing, Item Finding, Pit zerking Barb is one of the best finders in the game. Pit and Ancient Tunnels can drop all items in the game including super rare uniques like Tyraels Might and Mang Bongs. It's because the monster level is 85 in there which is the highest in the game and only certain items drop from an mlvl 85 table. Here's an example of some Pit zerking..
