One thing I'd like to mention about doing Countess runs, I've actually found a couple high runes (vex + ohm) from popping random objects inside the Tower Cellar maps (like the crypts/chests). I've also found some pretty sweet uniques (titan's revenge + andy's visage for example) from popping the weapon/armor racks found in the Tower Cellar. All of this during online solo play.
My point is: rushing to Countess as fast as possible and skipping everything else isn't necessarily always the best move. This generally applies to most places as well. I like to think of each kill + each object popped is like a roll of the dice to get loot. Most of the time you won't get anything from random chests or armor racks.. but roll the dice enough times and you WILL eventually find good stuff, it's just a game of numbers in the end.
You can find sooooo many champion mobs on the way to countess. Found vex and ist off mobs. Lots of uniques as well.
Somewhat unrelated, but I found a BER farming Hell Catacombs solo online on my way to Andy several days ago!
Yeah I've been running this with my non teleporting pala , still pretty quick I do pop what I can and also kill any champ/boss packs I run into .
''Isn't necessarily always the best move'" Wrong, it is always the best move since you have no way of telling when wasting your time in the tower will pay off'' I understand how you see it, but it is a false assumption based on bias example. In an pure RNG economy (like Diablo 2), you want to exclusively focus what gives you the best chance at the cost of the smallest amount of time. Can you find awesome gear from killing all the mobs and opening all the chest in the tower going down to countess? YES of course yes! But if a player do 100 hrs of strickly killing the countess and you do 100hrs of killing everything going down, the player that only ran the countless will have much more wealth. It is mathematical. You might not notice it because you are playing the game, but you are wasting a ton of time trying your luck at utimately bad RNG while the other player uses the same time trying his luck at a better roulette table. He will cash in more often than you.
@@LtKregorov yeah this is correct. OP isn't factoring time popping chests or mobs. If the chests are easy and on the way, or if the mob is blocking something/has a lot of exp, of course clearing can be lucrative, but not optimal for drop/time
This is the video many of us have been waiting for. There is so much single player focused D2 content, it gets a little tiresome finding out a lot of the strategies recommended are based on single player.
When going to the tower in Black Marsh…. Always search the immediate area around the waypoint. Many times it will spawn in the immediate area. Instead of just running for a boundary it’s worth it to do a quick circle. It’s not as guaranteed as following the road for the stones in Stoney…. But it’s still beneficial.
Also, if you’re gonna do Thresh Socket…. Off to the left there is always a monster shrine. Another quick easy chance at loot or if you need to refill some rejuv’s since a lot of the times you will get champs.
you should do a fibonacci spiral around the waypoint i did it few times randomly and it worked :D
@@borispsalman you have to be spelling pi number in loud voice simoultaneously to absolutely nail it.
by monster shrine you mean evil jar right?
RE: Things dying around Shenk - You can do the same with Andariel. Lure her back toward the double doors and kill her. Everything on the other side of the door will die and drop loot.
same with diablo! teleport around unkilled mobs befoie opening the seal. Sometimes you get 2 boss packs for free in 4 seconds
They don't drop with your MF though, just flat 0MF drops, but yes the loot still happens, just don't expect uniques.
She dies to fast to lure
Tele, blizzard, dead
Ya, the loot filter business in pd2 opened a lot of people eyes to that. I watch DB miss an ohm that dropped in the other side on the wall when killing Andy. I got an ist that way.
@@SweetPhil for some reason, ohm likes to drop in the catacombs. Found TWO there recently. One in cata lvl 3 from a champ group that was in one of those corner rooms you can bypass altogether if u want. Pretty crazy what you can find if you take the time to look.
PSA: You can get the Halls of Pain wp now and the red portal doesnt close
Nice, stil didn't get it tho
great videos man thanks for the down to earth personality you have. I enjoy your videos and picked up on a couple things I didn't know
I love all these new D2 videos.
Play to have fun people, clear out areas as fast as possible or farm bosses for a break or both, do whatever, just have fun. The drops will eventually come!
this
Thanks grandad
@@grilledleeks6514 grandad knows best
Here it is! I was waiting for your video today Phil :)
definitely solidified the way ive been looking for uniques but this video really helped change my game as far as finding uniques
The trick for reading these maps is not turn left or turn right, but the exit tile faces left or right. Your tower level that is not a left turn still has a exit tile that faces left. Typically when turning left does not lead to the exit then the exit is strange like the one you have and is near the entrance / waypoint. This is especially useful for durance of hate lvl 2 and worldstone keep lvl 2 (Turn right) where this happens often.
Love your videos and content man. Very well explained and helpful. You got a new subscriber today from me. Great stuff
Very good video man, Thank You for it.
Act 4 River of flame, and the Chaos Santuary are pretty good areas as well.
You are a sweet man :) i recently subbed and have liked heaps of your D2R vids. keep them coming! cheers!
One of my favorite routes is LK- Mephisto, hitting all the temples on the way. I got a zakarumite faithful to drop Jah before.
Thank you for this wonderful video I needed this as for I'm on ps5
Loving the extra videos :) keep up the good work mate
The left left left trick has changed my farming game completely, played for 20+ years and didnt know this, thank you
For my Frenzy Barb, Ancient Tunnels is my favorite. Reason? Almost impossible for anything to kill you (higher chance to die in Pits and much higher in Chaos). Tons of urns, that you can kick and get some runes, charms and gems. You can also hork. Up to 3-4 shrines. Even online it is worth to search for it, plenty of uniques on the way (and one super unique, Dark Elder).
Great advice at the end - just mix it up :)
Really am starting to like your videos and streams. You cover things faster than other popular streamers I wont mention. Its great.
Best advice ever. Don't do the 100 runs in a row crap. I try to clear all the hot spots you listed and some others in every game. Sometimes I'll throw in Cows and skip chaos or do Jail levels and Baal. Just playing to have fun.
This is the way. Play to have fun, the drops will come 💃
Best comment !!! I killed my fun with the runs in a row shit... I started to mix my runs and walk area by area. It's so much more fun.
@@malafob people forget it's not a second job...
@@sip5123 so true...
Thanks for this video topic - really helped me out a lot = )
Tips are great! super good ones at the end even! TY for your content! love the vids
Thanks phil! You are doing a great jobs!
This is probably the best tip video ive seen so far for average players.
Found my first Ber on D2R from a regular mob in chaos last night, I only played the 1 game before bed lol
wow....madness sigh lol. goodshit
@Max Payne that's what's up. not on my watch! lmfao
Found my one and only in the same place.
God i see how you have blessed others and i only ask the same
That’s how Ber rolls. Found my first from a pack of 3 cows that I could’ve just passed right over. Found second from a pack of 5 skeletons at the worldstone keep 2 waypoint they I could’ve passed right over, on a run I nearly didn’t do
Hello man LOVE to see your videos Keep On....
What chair you are using looking niceee
KEEP ON
I just wanted to say thank you for suggesting to hit up the super chest behind Meph. I just got a Lo rune from it! Great video
Hey Phil, I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time and was curious your opinion. I’m starting to get back into the game a lot more than I used to. However, I don’t really have anybody to play outside with, so I was thinking about just playing single player or off-line mode where I can control the difficulty and decrease the drop rate. However, once in a while by fridge will want to play and then I have to start Friday got a character online and I really don’t wanna big multiple different characters but I’ll have to. However, I also don’t want to be super far ahead of by Fred’s when I want to play with that. What’s your opinion on the matter of off-line versus online. Do you play off-line when you’re by yourself an online when you’re with friends or what do you guys do as content creators. it also is convenient that if I play got PC online and I want to jump over to my series X or PS5 and play Diablo all my characters will be there.
Good guide. This is right up my alley
I picked up a perfect v gaze from Mephisto's armor rack. I heard of people getting IK Armor--something Mephisto can't even drop himself. I pop both the armor and weapon racks every time now. But I flip around between going after bosses and super uniques and just straight up clearing areas. I know folks that can do 100 Andy runs in a row, I just can't. Feels too much like work lol.
Other than Static maps for offline, is there any difference in your methods for farming on p1 offline vs online?
Hey Phil, hinna Ask if you have to complete any progress quest in order to farm trav for high runes? Much love 🙏
If ur a new player, this is a solid video
If only this video was around back in 2003 when I first started playing! Cool tips on the Pits and stairs in Act 5. Great point on the "Go left" in the Tower. Many folks don't know that. ....
Thank again for the infos. Are you comming back to PD2 season 4? Sorry, just can't play D2R without some improvements found on mods.
Hey Phil, thanks for all the info and content. How do you get the mini map to display online? I know Tab key shows map but only where I have been.
He probably ran the whole map to make the whole map appear.
Nice video! "The pit" hell gives me all, and as a hardcore player, sometimes it ask me all ( life included)... damn archers!!
Ok so I never farmed Tresh Socket ever before, I saw your video today and the first time I went he dropped Tal Armor. THANKS FOR THE TIP, will definitely go back to him!
Thank you for this content! 👍👍
Thank you for the tips man 😄
Awesome, thanks for the tips!
Great video! I assume you’re also the one playing thrash guitar on the background, lol.
Ladder reset was poppin last night. Saw so many games felt like the old days.
Hi Phil I have a summon necro I found some really good items by farming full games act 1 Tru 5 including cow level.at least for me is not as boring.
Picked up a mal rune from one of the super chests in Arcane Sanctuary. Pretty happy about that :D
Nice guide, ty!
I built your nova sorcerer love it best build I have ever had can kill all and starting to find runes thanks
If I plan to play mostly (like 90%+) solo should I just go ahead and make an offline character instead and play all solo to use the playerX bonuses? Thanks!
In the last week farming ancient tunnels I found 3 guls and a sur. I don't play that much. maybe just luck, but I kill everything. my route as a blizz sorc is Andy, Tunnels, Meph, Pindle.
If you're a blizzard sorc you can still farm countess you just need a strong enough merc to take care of a few of her minions before teleporting ontop of her and letting him kill her. Usually I will teleport to just outside of her room and try and pull her minions out so my merc can kill them before going after her as I have found that just rushing her he becomes overwhelmed and dies because he is surrounded. Also following the road to find the Pit in Tamoe Highlands, around 3:40 that little dip on the road behind him that leads nowhere that will tell u that you are going toward the previous area (black marsh) so if u see the dip turn around and take the other road option. I could be wrong but running pits on my necro and actually walking I found this to be the case majority of the time. Open all the chests in durance 3 (bring keys) I've had decent high rune luck from the chests (not so much the chest behind mephisto so far) even on players 1.
Hi everyone. Quick question. What do you use to see the full map? I thought maphack wasn't possible in d2r?
I was just curious about your map. How do we unlock it like it shows all of the map picture or how can we remove the Fog of War? Been searching for answers but I can't find anything.
The tower "turn left" thing do you mean the characters left or left on the screen? It looked like it mighta been the characters left?
I dont have infinity and need a sorc double element build. Is wall still te best?
Should I farm in normal before heading to NM, or is it a waste? I'm right at Baal.
I can't do normal cow run until I start NM, correct?
S.P. question, what kind of music playlist you got going? Every video you put out, your music is on point. Are you able to share? Thanks in advance
The description of the videos have links to the song or the creator of the songs. Most songs are all from the same person.
Could you show how to beet the Diablo Clone that drops the anni charm? I have not been able to beat it solo. It would be great to see it on a few builds.
Good to know that the tower/countis is best with 1 player. I usually park mules or bring them in tp for the area.
The reason the first level is to the right is because 3 right turns make a left. The left rule follows that rule. Thanks for the video, it's awesome
Arcane sanctuary is static 3 super chests and do summoner for key.
I would say farm all your favorite areas in a game before switching games.
That is my go to for farming period. Just the last week I got a Jah, Om, Ist, Malx3, Pulx2.
When I run AT and Pit I always kill everything. I have found some uniques drop from normal chode monsters. When I run Arcane I run my Fury Druid. It ensures I kill over the pathways so less runes drop into Santuarys deepest void.
If you let a dude jump on Thresh Socket's back they become a super unique aswell. It actually works similarly to Witch Doctor Endugu in Act 3. Dunno if it's worth waiting for but I'd keep it in mind if anyone farms him.
so generally speaking if im solo mfing do i wanna still kill all the champs/uni packs or just tele right to countess/andy
Chaos is life. Found Ohm, Arachnid Mesh, Shako, 5/-5 lite die facet, 3/20 light eschuta and 15% Lightning skill Ormus Robes yesterday alone. Lots of other unmentionables too.
I thing particular to necromancer. If your build has summons go to pindleskin first. You can summon/revive a lot of the skeletons before they are active.
Any tips on finding armor socketed bases? Does players difficulty make the hell level ones drop more, and maybe I should take off all magic find?
Cow level all day, any bases you like will eventually drop
I run countess with meteorb on /players 1 without infinity and my merc trucks her everytime. I found a jah off of shenks meteors once. Very nice.
Wait ahenks meteors drops shit?
@@Coltensreefing it kills the monsters which drop things
Shenk got me my first Lo, finally Fortitude! But he also did not drop anything for hours
Countess is shiet once you get some good gear. I don’t bother anymore
@@philmarshall6231 same here I run Andy...pindle sucks also
I did a 100 run on the pits (shitty loots as well) and got your right It drive me insane that I didn't touch the game for 2 days.
subbed for this good vid amigo.
As a cold sorc, I started using static field on cold immunes to bring them down to 50% . Then I try to teleport near to them so my merc can kill them. I also skilled lighting nova up to lvl 20 to help my merc killing the cold immunes. Now I'm clearing way faster and don't have to wait until my merc kills all cold immunes (very helpful at countress )
I do the same thing . Never with nova though . Does it do a lot ?
Better off maxing chain lightning or lightning than Nova. Unless you're running a infinity merc.
@@TKivisto10 what dmg does lightning? Nova does around 1k at lvl 20 and I like the aoe alot especially on 2ndbaal wave
So the "go left" or "go right" directions aren't a full picture. In the case of the tower, "go left" really means that the exit tile will be oriented in a way that you'll enter it facing a left direction. This is how the exit could be the opposite way but still *oriented* in a leftward direction.
Great tips thx!
For anyone that farms solo, there’s no reason to be just a blizzard sorceress. Look up the fire wall/orb build, it’s a game changer.
Yeah, really liking orb/firewall. You can walk through hell with junk bought from vendors.
@corey notice how you said “about everything” instead of “everything”??? That’s why. My sorc was decked out as a blizz too before I switched, I know the limitations.
@corey either way I recommend trying it out. If you don’t like it simply switch back.
Because of all the bnet issues since launch it made me explore modded single player which I had never done. I’ve never had so much fun in the game and I was one of the originals back in 2000.
finally a video about solo online farming. Thanks a lot for this! If I could, I would give you 3 thumbs up for this! Now I would like to see more videos about quite a few runs and the drops....and also like to see various low cost farm characters (you see almost only Enigma-chars and Infinity etc)...please 👍
Low cost characters : fireball + orb sorc, summoner necro.
Thank you for this!
Question about the player difficulty…. I try to use the command /players X and it never increases the player size … is there something I’m doing wrong ?
I see nobody has answered you and you've probably found out by now (2 months later), but I'll give it a try anyway. This video focuses on solo online. The player difficulty can only be changed while playing offline singleplayer.
Good Job Phil!
Try farming the worldstone keep, it's tca 85, get yourself some ⚡ adsorb and get decent resistance and you should be great.
I noticed this on another video with uniques, the colors seem off on the item texts. Runes look yellow instead of orange and uniques look nearly white instead of golden. Are you color correcting your videos?
Another tip dir the tower of the countess. It's ALWAYS at the border of the map. So dont tele around like crazy but tele at the borders of Black marsh
Hey friend, excellent tips. However I dont have a teleport staff... Do you recommend to buy one?
Oh ya, act 2 dragnon in nightmare. Find a map where the exit to town is right next to him. Run in and out resets his shop inventory. Keep looking for a tele staff to buy. They cost like 100k-200k sometimes. Fyi.
👍
My typical farming route goes Pindleskin, Shenk the Overseer, Eldrich the Rectifier, Ancients Way, Worldstone Keep Level 1, Worldstone Keep Level 2, Worldstone Keep Level 3, Throne of Destruction, and Baal. Sometimes other evel 85 areas Mephisto, and Diablo. My farming is done using a Summining Necromancer.
W8! Does Infinity no longer break cold immunity O.o?
I have horrible rng in a solo b net game went to inner cloister to bug merc and found a occy on the dead rogue next to wp went tk outer cloister to head to pit and my merc killed something that dropped a ethy occy before load screen was done havent had a decent droo since
That music was awesome the first 4 times it repeated, lol. Good suggestions.
Found a Gul, vex, and ist rune from countess in 300 runs. In addition to plenty of Mal, pul, and lems.
I also started killing the mobs in the front yard of Pindle. They tend to drop good high level bases in my experience.
How are the maps already fully shown on single player? Maybe it’s because I’m on PlayStation but it doesn’t do that on mine
Nice vid thanks
Because of the amount of legendary items I have found in Diablo 3 off of barrels urns and corpses I recommend always hitting everything that can possibly drop it's how I found all my set items so far nothing's dropped off of a boss
The pit was good for me. When I first got to hell mode with Sorc, I couldn't kill much because they're all cold immune. So I "rage quit" and started a javazon. Reached hell mode blasting them all with lightning. Got to the pit and struggled with level 2 as practically all of them were lightning immune haha.
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you view it. I couldn't just leave the pit and go on. One of the few monsters that got killed dropped my first ever Skin of the Vipermagi and I couldn't just give it up. Fast forward after having died 5 times and wasted hundreds of thousands of gold on reviving my merc, I finally found the Vipermagi.
So it was awesome that I got that on my first ever pit run, but it was a massive pain in the ass actually getting it lol. I have the worst luck picking characters. First the awesome sorcerer but now most are cold immune to the point that I can't even clear the Den of Evil to get a reset for skills, then I go and level up javazon, do den of evil etc, then end up at pits and most are lightning immune lol
I been doing orb/lightning sorc and orb does better but lightning damage is getting there maxing out light mastery and skipping cold mastery cuz it doesn't seem to do much
And then also get the hydra with the torch which helps merc in some spots
@@beegzz6326 Absolutely. When I finally managed to clear the den of evil I immediately respecced into an orb/lightning hybrid build. Been playing it since then, it's so much fun and clears super fast. I get the occassional dual cold/lightning res on some elites, but my merc clears then fast at least so it's good.
I can farm most area for sure. Andariel, pits, mephisto, chaos sanctuary, baal runs and all the key runs. All on the sorc. Super fun.
So I got D2r. Do I have to connect to battlenet to play offline?
This man is 3 months later v: , welcome back dudde
Well, actually 2 later , but its ok
got a zod rune last weekend from pindle, but even my best char (85 FireSorc)does not even have the rest that comes with the final product, like a base of VeX- like runes.
Found eth reapers kinda early on, so that helps with countess, but I run orb meteor, meteor the mobs an the merc can easily solo countess. If the merc is surrounded early an weak he has died. But once you have an eth duriels shell an reapers plus gulli they strong at 90.
Hey sweet phil have you been playing this for the past 20 years? I remember before runewords before the Lord of expansion.
Is it better to do Player 7 instead of Player 8
You can get to Thresh from Crystalline too.
I wanna build a feral druid but this Specc have no mf items is it possible to find high items? Or is it not worth? :)
Hey Phill,
You should differentiate on what platform ur running, cuz many options u speak of are not available on PS4. PC has a LOT more options to get a better chance on the good stuff
You totally missed that if you teleport from outer cloister to the pit, the shortest stretch is always the pit, if you need more then 3 teleports on the road, then you took the road to the dark marsh and not pit, turn around - also thresh socket way point has two different looking walls, one is always north other is always west - you can see where to teleport directly as you WP there - saving you alot of time! Same goes for nithalak, always set entrance from WP depending how first room looks like
