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.
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 :)
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.
''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
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
@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.
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 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.
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!
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 👍
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.
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
@@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.
Why no mention of chaos? That’s a static map, lvl 85 area, and act boss all in one. Any new ladder season that’s the first place I try to farm as soon as my merc is beefy enough to handle it. Another good place not mentioned is tal rashas tombs. Each tomb easy to get to, has multiple special monsters, and each one has a shiny chest. High mob density makes it a great high rune farming location as well. I’ve gotten Sur and Ohm in there so far in d2r and that’s in probably less than 100 full tomb runs
True, but chaos takes a bit. If you consider 2-3minutes a "bit".... ;-). However in 2-3 minutes you can do travi, pindle, eldrich, shenk and did he not say 'easy to kill'? Just saying. However Chaos is still preferable over baal, since that takes even longer.
@@wolfgangweller2525 right now with the rate limiting adding chaos and river of flame (also a lvl 85 area) with great monster density and a good amount of champ packs. Definitely takes longer but I got my HR for enigma from clearing most of the river and the chaos sanc
@@wolfgangweller2525 unless your playing on xbox, then chaos is faster because the loading is ridiculously slow when taking portals/waypoints. Its actually quite sad my computer I played this on 20 years ago could load it in half the time as this supposed "next gen" system 🙄
Those trav council members are a nightmare for me on my summonmancer, i can solo farm pretty much everything but those trav hydras just melt my skeletons
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.
Ever since I found a Demonspike in a barrel in Diablo 1 I've always checked everything for the rare item. I get the idea of optimizing time, but it's a bad habit at this point.
Been running raven/mausoleum with good success I know it has low monster density but there’s rarely any cold immunes and the monsters are weak already dropped arreats face 3 facets and crown of ages a lot of gg bases and more oh and storm shield
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.
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.
literally rolled a second sorc to just do the static maps (and eventually cows). got her some budget gear (105 FCR) and level 80 then swapped her to Nova and ES and just plow through countess, eldrich and shenk. nice easy runs that go super fast, and now I have a bunch of mid-runes and keys in the stash. Main is a pure bliz sorc and I MF in this order: pindle, andy, AT, sum, trav, meph, CS, WSK, Baal, Nihl. I quit out if Nihl is CI or if I drop him and rinse and repeat. Merc is Might and rocking a 17medi insight in an eth CV and a treach in an eth Laq plate; he's sturdy enough to handle any CI trash, De seis, and the skellies in Wave 2.
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
Find what suits your class best, every class are different. Then do them all over again, put on some music and videos to watch and listen to on the side. Good loots will come your way! Enjoy the game.
@@Phicksusmc single player on p7/p8. With Tele and telekinesis to hit logs as well as super chests? It’s Diablo RNG, you can go days without a HR then hit them in back to back games.
Im playing solo online on ps4 and my best drops have been from totally other places than bosses. Id say just stop to kill all champions and uniques whiöe farming you fav spots. I just got tal armor from my way to baals minions.
TELEPORT is the only way to get good gear? Reminds me of WOW where the paladin the only toon to use. I guess Sorcoress is the only toon to bother using in this game... Correct?
What is your first thought when I would say Amazon? It’s in computer name or in the community? Can you see the line of Amazon character? What makes you?
My mf runs always include Mephisto, Travincal, Chaos, and Pindle. I dont understand why people play single players to 8. You can't turn a profit or trade with anybody, so kinda pointless to mf all this "gg gear" if its just gonna sit in stash and collect dust....
@@je.9793 I know playing online is already more challenging since you don't mf the same open maps over and over, and if u find a Ber on SP, what u gonna do with it till u find Jah? I understand the players set to 8 SP IS easier to mf and find gg items, but a Ber rune found Online will always mean more to me than SP. Hope you understand.
@@WagOfBeed no I get that. I was just saying in the video he said if you are soloing online. He was using static maps in single player mode for purposes of quick videos, but he stated that it was for online solo mfing
you say dont kill everything in singleplayer? well i kill basically everything in all acts on player 1 difficulty and my experience's tell me im doing something right since my ive had ,jah,2sur,4vex,1Lo drop in last couple of weeks
when doing pindle check what's on sell @ anya before going in and when coming back she is the one to get gg claw that could worth shit load and it take 2sec to check what's available and using infi on a bliz sorc? meh ... xD
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?
I can never find a group of friends to play with consistently I have made friends but they never on at the same time or they go weeks without even logging on we need player x settings
My problem on consoles is the load screen in a lot of areas porting in usually dead on arrival in hell. They need to fix that it's annoying. Arreat is great for farming runes also. Great content
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.
ive found 2-3 of every Hr on battlenet Solo runs never found any with 2+ players and almost all of them were from white mobs so i dunno if this is true
When you kill shenk the overseer your fps will tank even with an rtx 3090 and sometimes your game will crash because of it. Something is a little off about Shenk
The best location for farming is the landfill in my city. Seriously. You can find good things everywhere and nowhere. All you need is stupid luck and lots of time.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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 .

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
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.
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.
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
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 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

Low cost characters : fireball + orb sorc, summoner necro.

Hi everyone. Quick question. What do you use to see the full map? I thought maphack wasn't possible in d2r?
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.
Picked up a mal rune from one of the super chests in Arcane Sanctuary. Pretty happy about that :D

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.
you say dont kill everything in singleplayer? well i kill basically everything in all acts on player 1 difficulty and my experience's tell me im doing something right since my ive had ,jah,2sur,4vex,1Lo drop in last couple of weeks
when doing pindle check what's on sell @ anya before going in and when coming back
she is the one to get gg claw that could worth shit load and it take 2sec to check what's available
and using infi on a bliz sorc? meh ... xD
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?
Phil Production quality is gettin GUCCI!
Thank you for the tips man 😄
I can never find a group of friends to play with consistently I have made friends but they never on at the same time or they go weeks without even logging on we need player x settings
Are you using some 3rd party software for items? Those low runes at the countess looked yellow to me, hmm.
No
My problem on consoles is the load screen in a lot of areas porting in usually dead on arrival in hell. They need to fix that it's annoying. Arreat is great for farming runes also. Great content
Thank you for this content! 👍👍
Running a Blizz Sorc is a hurt in trav.
i basically only play to turn my brain off after work, so going for 100 meph runs without any other runs in between is the best for me.
what gear have ur merc?
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.
Let me see if I got this correct-
Countess: turn left
Thresh Socket: go up
Catacombs level 2: go right
Durance of Hate: go left
Did I get that?
Durance is left of whatever side your shield is when spawn on waypoint
@@philmarshall6231 isn’t that what I said?
Any good spots in nightmare?
Players 1 countess just gives u a ton of eld el and nefs
I have run so many pit runs and gotten jack. Countess gets me more.
Pit has gotten me two Drac's, Sur rune, IK armor... some of my best drops. RNG is RNG. Random as fuck.
I just keep expectations low, grab a beer, and farm AT, blizz. Got an ohm last night.
Endless well of content
ive found 2-3 of every Hr on battlenet Solo runs never found any with 2+ players and almost all of them were from white mobs so i dunno if this is true
It’s possible just less likely due to no drop
@@rswilley all my testing prove this is wrong
I’m on ps4 and damn your game looks way better than mine lol.
Hmm is it to crazy to put it on player 8?
Sweet RNGesus please I pray for a griffon; I’ve played this game for 20 YEARS and have never seen one drop, bruh
When you kill shenk the overseer your fps will tank even with an rtx 3090 and sometimes your game will crash because of it. Something is a little off about Shenk
how you revealed the map ??
If I could just get a damned jah rune, I'll be able to tele and farm more areas in less time
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? :)
Love the outro. Oaaahhh
Is 288% mf good for farming in hell or should I use 250 or 200 or rasie it??
How do you change the player number on bnet?
You can't
3 rights do make a left =)
Why are you talking about players 8 trav in online solo video? Isn’t that an offline feature ?
So bosses drop rate doesn’t change with players 1-8? I’m still confused how do I play solo lol
The act bosses do, the individual super uniques and random boss monsters drop rates do not change eith the players difficulty.
The best location for farming is the landfill in my city.
Seriously. You can find good things everywhere and nowhere. All you need is stupid luck and lots of time.
Philliam you legend. Take it eeeez bud
Single player? No have online?
chaos best for solo. my personal opinion
Are you using map hack?
My farming rout is countess pit andy invo trav mef chaos eldrish nilatak baal
Nice micro time saving with the telekinesis
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.
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
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...
