@@zacksinclair306 what console are you on? I use Xbox and switch and they’ve had their short term outages but still fairly works. Just know the game moves reeeeeallly slow at the log on page
10 runs at 1:6390 is not equivalent to 1 run at 1:639. this is not how probabilities work, otherwise all you would need to get a tal armor would be to run pindle 6390 times. Chances of getting a given item of X chance to drop (here 1/6390) is : 1 - (chance to not get it) = 1 - (1 -X)^(number of runs) On a low number of runs odds will roughtly looks the same but as soon as you start doing a lot of them, you'll notice the difference : if you were to run 6390 pindle, your maths would guarantee you a tal rasha armor, while in reality you have still 36.79% chance to not have drop any tal armor after 6390 pindle runs.
The more important thing to keep in mind is that pindle can be run at the same speed with much more inferior gear than it takes to grind through baal runs which means baal runs for most leveling characters are much slower. Pindle is still the better bet.
For Baal you head to your character's right from the waypoint and to their left upon entering WSK level 3. You should find the throne room in 10-15 seconds.
Somewhat similar when farming Andariel as well. The entrance to the third level is almost always on the right side of your character when they exit the waypoint. Finding the fourth is a little more random, but it's easy enough as a Sorceress.
@@Neonmirrorblack I've had luck heading straight when I go for Andy period for the Countess you just take every left literally, and Mephisto is left from Waypoint. Do you know of any others
@@zagato77904 4real. I think it's dumb as fuk. I'll get kicked and still suffer the penalty of having to wait to rejoin. Even had a hardcore character died while loading an area in. It sucked to restart from level 38 but not as bad as the twitch clip of of a guy losing a lvl 80 character.
another thing to take in consideration is that worldstone keep and throne of destruction is a lvl 85 area, so it can be a nice idea to clear your way to baal while you do the runs
I so much prefer any other areas 85 to farm... WSK is just damn awfull with level 2 being almost always covered with Gloams or cold immune crap and level 3 with the same issues (shooting witches, cold immunes etc). I just skip all of it expect for champ/unique packs
What I love about all of these guides.. they all are fully geared characters already.. no one bothers to do a guide for people who have 0 magic find or who don't have all this GG gear LOL.. yeah show people what they can't have because they are not endgame geared.. most people watching this guide probably cannot kill hell baal.. or even do their own hell ancients..
Best way to find anything is pick the content your character clears faster with the most mf. Get the loot. Then go to trade and get what you want. Targeting a specific item with such low drop rates is just nonsense.
Today i was running the mausoleum in hell for my first time trying to get the MonarchShield and tal armor dropped for me after killing the first elite pack!
i've found mine last week. farmed all the high lvl areas with no luck. so i started to farm some odd places like swampy pit,red portals in act 5,drifter cavern,icy cellar and so on. it dropped in infernal pit. :)
I found the amulet from a random mob with 0% mf in stony fields. Just look at the drop chances for that in that area. lol RNGesus is just the biggest troll.
I think the amulet is just a random chance to be tal from any set amulet. In vanilla d2lod, i got tal amulet for normal diablo. The trick to finding anything: the more you kill in a period of time, the higher chance to get something. Doesn't have to be just bosses.
PLEASE!!! Show us all of the unique/set items which are dropped in your Vids. This is so unsatisfing to see a drop and no indetification of it )) but real great work, thanks
Green lacquered plate dropped for me today during the last minion wave before Baal. Love it. The 3-piece set is so nice for mf. Also found green sacred armor at Pindle today. Really lucky start of the week.
The real answer is pindle until you farm enough gear to be able to do a deathless baal consistently. Pindle just dies. Baal and his minions are a different ball game. He can do baal in 4 minutes but you might not. It all depends on gear
Pretty much every D2 guide ever just leaves this out sometimes I wonder who these videos are for. If you're new to D2 and trying to find this stuff you have no clue that it drops on certain difficulties these videos assume you know all that which wouldn't make sense for you to watch it. There's basically a huge gap in D2 content from heres the gear you need before level 10 to okay here's how you farm hell baal. I've played the game so I know why they all just auction house the stuff but if you're on console/new you can't/don't have interest in just gold farming gear so no one tells you anything about the game it's just from start to play Uber runs now.
I really appreciated the breakdown of time vs odds. a bliz sorc is really a good option for running this, though wave 2 is a real pain in the neck. the only thing I can add is WSK is a 85 area so if you roll up on a unique pack on your way down that isn't cold immune its worth taking a couple seconds to pop them. its not a very good odds, but most of the Tal's armors I have dropped over the years have been off uniques in the 85 areas.
Blizz sorc is awful for this run purely because of the immunes. There are two situations it fails. First is the cold spike throwing skeletons that will chill your merc and cause you to take 5 minutes waiting for him to jab them all as they run away and keep him chilled. The next is the last wave can be Fire/Cold immune and the champ has a knockback and stun which will cost you all your full rejuvs before he dies. You will either lose your merc or end up going back to town every 30 seconds. This is what ultimately sent me back to being hybrid. A good meteor is as good for hell cows as Blizzard, but its just awful with the delay on initial hit (blizzard hits immediately). However using it as a main skill with Fireball and using Frozen Orb for fire immunes is way better for completing more content overall even if some of it is slightly slower.
This math is off and I'm glad you mentioned Gambler's Fallacy. Unfortunately with random being random, every single run is 1 in 6390, even with the implied odds reducing the value. That is except in one case. There is a way to reduce the odds further. If you drop Sigon's chest and Rattlecage in the same game, then if another Gothic Plate drops as set quality, it will be guaranteed Tal's Guardianship. However the odds of that are minimal when target farming bosses. This is why target farming rare sets/uniques is better if you completely clear every area in all acts.
If they make people wait over 20 minutes, they should probably have the first boss you kill have a quest drop forced on it. So not like you're getting a free unique, but the chance for it is increased. Should make most fans look forward to waiting equally as much as not waiting
@@zergslayer69 no. you just need to open the game with the char that hasn't killed baal. then you leave it and enter with your other char from the same account that is strong and got lots of mf. you can cheese a questdrop from all bosses like that. however you can questbug andy anyways so it's pointless with her since you'll always have questdrops. i always do it. takes a few seconds to do and gives you far better chances of soj drops on nightmare and also better chances for good drops like shako and so on in hell. got my 2 soj's and 2 tal amulets from nm andy and 1 tal amulet and a shako from hell andy. only tal piece i didn't find yet is the armor. but i don't really care for the tal set anyway. i only keep the amu till i get a mara or good rare one and shako, occy and arach are just far better. and for armor i have an upped viper with a ptopaz. but would really like to make coh. however that needs a ber and the first 2 bers will go into infinity.
@@Dunkelelf3 Huh interesting, how do you get your strong char to join the exact same game? just enter the same game room name? I'm guessing make an alt and beat nightmare, and then just farm it with the main char
@@zergslayer69 you go to lobby and create a game and name it whatever and make whatever password. then you leave and join that game with your mf char. the game doesn't close right away when you leave it. it will stay open for a while so you can join with another char. that's how we used to mule items around in d2 classic.
2:55 This is actually a misconception, the probability always stays the same no matter how many times you grind something faster. Meaning Baal is the highest chance for the drop.
Well, not exactly. If you didn't get it on first run the probabilities of getting it on the second run is 1/6390 but what he means here is having gotten it after two runs which is 1/6390 + (6389/6390 * 1/6390) which equals to about 1,99984.../6390 so almost twice as much.
I have lucked into 2 of these in the last week. First was from a random mob with my wind Druid play through in hell Frozen River on the way to Anya. Second was off a random mob in the Chaos Sanctuary with the same Druid.
The math is incorrect, magic find percentage is only towards finding magic items. The effective magic find when looking for set pieces at 300 is actually 180-200%. Check out the magic find graph for uniqes and set items if you wanna re-calculate.
I found mine at the armor rack to the left of meph on hell. Also found a Lo rune in chest behind him before that. Always check those chests and racks. In fact those are my best find from meph, didn’t even come from him…
No one here questions how you calculate the probability? No matter how many times you run pindle, the probability of the armor dropped from pindle is ALWAYS 1:6390. Even if you farmed pindle 6390 times, it won't gurantee (meaning 100%) you the drop. It's still possible that you don't get the armor after you farm pindle 6390 times.
While it doesnt guarantee it the question was which the most effective way of getting tal arm was. While the probability is the same - the odds are better after each run. But you can never guarantee it, not even running baal.
I honestly don’t know how people can stomach farming the same boss over and over and over again. It makes more sense to enjoy the game and bounce around all the high level monster areas in the game. Sometimes, I like to clear parts of Act I just for fun. Get some PGems out of it, and occasionally, a nice unique drop
Thats kinda what I was doing to get ready for hell. I would do cows, pindleskin and the two by the first act 5 way point. That seemed to be halfway decent without getting too boring.
Considering the limit, personally I'd rather just hit multiple farming spots or bosses in a run. Also back in the day id always do shenk with my Pindle skin runs. They're both quick and easy to get to, both in act 5
I found the whole set. Tals ammy with andie, armor with cows, and mask and belt random don't remember. I finally completed my childhood dream of owning tal rasha set.
No joke, this video came up in auto play, it convinced me to get off my butt and do some pindle runs. Got it on my 11th run off of one of his minions. Couldn't believe it!
Nobody going to school bro we old now. And we working from home and when I say working I mean we're moving our mouse every ten minutes to stay active on Teams.
What do you do with the cold-immunes, just static field and wait for your merc to kill them? Or do you try a wand of lower resistance and hope Blizzard kills them? Or do you just teleport away?
The best place is any aLv 85 area. D2 rewards regular play more so than runs. You do need about 250 mf minimum for it to work out. You also get the benefit of being able to find any item in the game and typically a lot less dangerous and faster than running act bosses. One change they should make is increasing the number of aLv 85 areas in a future patch.
your rng math isnt correct, if you have a 1 in 10 chance (10% chance drop rate)and run 10 times that does not give you a 100% chance. It is still a 10% drop chance per run. the number of runs do not ever change the drop rate.
i got the full set , is it good with the lighting and cold build you did,got a second amy in anceint tunnels as well wooooot!!!!!! got helm and belt at mafesto , sry for spelling been up long time
@@walterwhite7989 my mf is at 356 if that helps , I run him and then baal just port to throne room then to him saves time farming , tip if your in trouble throw down portal and get out of there and regroup and go again , she's money on reviving merc
Last time I found Tals was after maybe 2,000 pindle runs when D2R launched. Then I randomly found tals the next day off a cow.... Pindle is the easiest though slightly demoralizing way to find the armor. Someone did a calculation that most people will find it in about 4000 runs. Which translates to about 24 hours of efficient running assuming 20 seconds a run. The severs are much better so I averaged about 2.5 runs per minute. If you do 2 hours of pindle farm a day you will likely get tals in a couple weeks. Also it is easy to cap out at the 400 mf to maximize set item roll odds. Since you need very little gear to run pindle. It is harder to run 4 socket pgem armor against baal.
How is your mana without "Insight" thresher on merc? I think I run into that problem at time with my Blizz Sorc Also subcribed! Very clear and informative! Bonus for smooth voice :)
Baal is super easy , just use infinity, and -res gear , enigma if not a sorc. But in reality , we will have to run pindle till we fall asleep, rinse and repeat, I can solo Baal but my merc dies over and over to the immunes, just cost me 1 Mill and ALOT of time for a single Baal kill
I'm using obedience forti and talk mask on my Merc and he's easly do 8kdmg with my hammerdin concentration aura and 4,5 without. It's a great setup he pretty much destroy everything. As for your setup I strongly suggest change blessed aim Merc to holy freeze cuz it's pointless on sorc. And since you have reaper toll that comes with life leach change tal mask to guill helm for some extra cb. He will destroy uniqes, bosses alone with this setup .
What pisses me off is that holy freeze aura for merc is only available in nightmare. Hell it has available blessed aim and another couple useless auras
Found this armor the other day and didn't think anything of it. Stashed it in a mule and moved on until seeing a bunch of game names offering soj or high rune for it. Guess I found something good for once 😉
is there any way you can make a video for people like me, who maybe have time to play 3-4h/week - what's the most efficient to farm etc.? Obv. my gear isn't great so I'm struggling really hard. Thanks! Appreciate your videos.
You must provide more information, its challenging to put something because there are many ways to struggle in this game. Like difficulty, resistance you have, runewards you have and so on
I am running a blizz sorc, my Resis are 40-75 on hell (poison being the highest), but I really just struggle with damage output. I can easily do Andy, Countess and Ancient Tunnels, but Mephisto and Chaos are not doable for example. Hope this helps.
U cant just add chances. Your logic: the chance a coin will show up side A will be is 50% (true) then u say: so if u throw the coin 2 times the chance of seeing side A minimum once will 100% (thats not true, it could be side B two times) but the chance is just 75% ;-)
I just found mine a day ago doing pindle / halls of pain runs. I got them from a boss skeleton pack in halls of pain, but extremely lucky after 5 hours of runs. I cleared halls of pain because if the game limiting after pindle.
I’ve played this game since it came out 20 years ago- I’ve only ever found 1 piece of tal rashas set. It was the amulet, when d2R came out. Thanks to the servers, I lost it & it didn’t save.
i got my first tal armor from nilathak with my 11mf trapsin. my 2nd tal armor dropped from baal with my 350mf sorc. so video checks out. i guess the 11mf nilathak drop was kind of nuts.
you can go the nilathak route for that as well he is quite nice for exp and so easy to find and with the server state atm pindle +nilathak became the way for me cause sometimes only nilathak is to fast depends on snakes or not :D
Found mine with 0 MF. ZERO!!! Was doing Cow runs for some Eth merc bases...logged off, next day forgot to put normal gear back on doing my 1st AncientT run, and BOOM!
I get it's more effective to run pindle over baal, but for me, I'm after the essence as well. So it makes it worthwhile for me to run baal. Plus the awesome xp. Edit: good video
I found 4 parts of this set on my own...it was 4 times the mask.
hahaha this was a good one.
I'm sorry tô hear that.
Lol
Same here but also 1 belt..
Yeah, I have 5 masks, 2 belts, and 1 weapon. Haven’t found amulet or chest yet.
The mask drops fairly frequently, which isn't too bad though, as it is a good merc gear piece.

The math is incorrect, magic find percentage is only towards finding magic items. The effective magic find when looking for set pieces at 300 is actually 180-200%. Check out the magic find graph for uniqes and set items if you wanna re-calculate.
The calculator takes that into account, it doesn't ask your for EMF but for MF
I found mine at the armor rack to the left of meph on hell. Also found a Lo rune in chest behind him before that. Always check those chests and racks. In fact those are my best find from meph, didn’t even come from him…
Best "greeting" I've ever heard. Your vibrating "R" sounds a bit slavic :)
Immune doesn't even scare me anymore. Those black souls or stigian dolls? Shudder*
You really sound like the World of Warship youtuber Mighty Jingles, even the way you laugh is so similar, cheers, thanks for the good times!
No one here questions how you calculate the probability? No matter how many times you run pindle, the probability of the armor dropped from pindle is ALWAYS 1:6390. Even if you farmed pindle 6390 times, it won't gurantee (meaning 100%) you the drop. It's still possible that you don't get the armor after you farm pindle 6390 times.
While it doesnt guarantee it the question was which the most effective way of getting tal arm was. While the probability is the same - the odds are better after each run. But you can never guarantee it, not even running baal.
@MwazZ Lindahl you made the same mistake, the odds are never gonna be better, the odds stays the same.
Pits man, pits all day. Found 2 last week
you gotta swap out that merc with Emilio for double damage
Waheed > Emilio 😁
@@seanso04 Waheed is a 2nd rate duelist with a 3rd rate polearm.
I got my the first one for my little crew this weekend! Worldstone 2 boss pack with just 2 players in the game.
Tips for newbies: if you are going to spam Pindleskin, make Harmony runeword and put it on switch for Vigor aura. Speeds the runs up by 2x
Thanks. This should be top comment
But you can still only create one game a minute, so being quicker isnt that nice anymore :p
Is this for Zons?
Tip for advanced newbies: do it on a Trapsin with Burst of Speed activated.
@@Yousei85 yeah let's hope they fix the servers to how they initially planned it
Pleasant Bob Ross vocals!
10 runs doesnt give you a 1 in 639 chance because each run is unique and doesn't influence each other
It's like craps...each roll is a start from zero roll
Awesome vid, liked and subbed bc you showed me the drop calc. never knew about this. bless you
I honestly don’t know how people can stomach farming the same boss over and over and over again. It makes more sense to enjoy the game and bounce around all the high level monster areas in the game. Sometimes, I like to clear parts of Act I just for fun. Get some PGems out of it, and occasionally, a nice unique drop
Thats kinda what I was doing to get ready for hell. I would do cows, pindleskin and the two by the first act 5 way point. That seemed to be halfway decent without getting too boring.
Pindle-> Go talk to Meph Boy -> repeat
Considering the limit, personally I'd rather just hit multiple farming spots or bosses in a run. Also back in the day id always do shenk with my Pindle skin runs. They're both quick and easy to get to, both in act 5
I found the amulet yesterday and just about Sh*t my pants. I have never found i before in all my years of playing
I found the whole set. Tals ammy with andie, armor with cows, and mask and belt random don't remember. I finally completed my childhood dream of owning tal rasha set.
No joke, this video came up in auto play, it convinced me to get off my butt and do some pindle runs. Got it on my 11th run off of one of his minions. Couldn't believe it!
You can't just slam pindle runs tho, they are momentarily restricting games created over a certain period
"that's a whole other ballpark of worms" 😂👍
I feel like the servers are in queue due to bots like back in 2001. No way servers would be full during a school day at 7am.
Nobody going to school bro we old now. And we working from home and when I say working I mean we're moving our mouse every ten minutes to stay active on Teams.
Its so obvious its botting but everyone is trying to convince themselves otherwise its bizarre
@@Sawubona2007 hahahaha too real too real
What do you do with the cold-immunes, just static field and wait for your merc to kill them? Or do you try a wand of lower resistance and hope Blizzard kills them? Or do you just teleport away?
static and let merc do it.
Offhand have a lower resist wand
The best place is any aLv 85 area. D2 rewards regular play more so than runs. You do need about 250 mf minimum for it to work out. You also get the benefit of being able to find any item in the game and typically a lot less dangerous and faster than running act bosses.
One change they should make is increasing the number of aLv 85 areas in a future patch.
your rng math isnt correct, if you have a 1 in 10 chance (10% chance drop rate)and run 10 times that does not give you a 100% chance. It is still a 10% drop chance per run. the number of runs do not ever change the drop rate.
I'm glad someone noticed this... 🤦♂️
Not sure when you recorded this video but as of now there is a one minute delay between trying to get into a game or creating one
Love your videos, the way you talk is very entertaining! Great guide
I've found several in ancient tunnels, in the past I've even had one drop for me in the den if evil.
Sidenote but I really do enjoy the time you spend making your thumbnails pop.
No, clickbait thumbnails suck. TH-cam just got pure cancer over the last decade.
i got the full set , is it good with the lighting and cold build you did,got a second amy in anceint tunnels as well wooooot!!!!!! got helm and belt at mafesto , sry for spelling been up long time
Did you kill all the Monster or you just focus on like the lvl where radament is ? ☺️
@@walterwhite7989 I just killed him and hit chest above got a few vex runes to but I'm at 500 runs lol
@@walterwhite7989 my mf is at 356 if that helps , I run him and then baal just port to throne room then to him saves time farming , tip if your in trouble throw down portal and get out of there and regroup and go again , she's money on reviving merc
It is so pretty! Purple along with neon fuchsia (myspace Jeffree Star hair color) and superbright neon green are my favorite colors! 💜💖💚
Last time I found Tals was after maybe 2,000 pindle runs when D2R launched. Then I randomly found tals the next day off a cow....
Pindle is the easiest though slightly demoralizing way to find the armor. Someone did a calculation that most people will find it in about 4000 runs.
Which translates to about 24 hours of efficient running assuming 20 seconds a run. The severs are much better so I averaged about 2.5 runs per minute.
If you do 2 hours of pindle farm a day you will likely get tals in a couple weeks.
Also it is easy to cap out at the 400 mf to maximize set item roll odds. Since you need very little gear to run pindle. It is harder to run 4 socket pgem armor against baal.
Thank you for yet another great video, new fan and subscriber here
How is your mana without "Insight" thresher on merc? I think I run into that problem at time with my Blizz Sorc
Also subcribed!
Very clear and informative!
Bonus for smooth voice :)
He is rocking a Shako, SOJ and Frosties. his tank runith over...
Baal is super easy , just use infinity, and -res gear , enigma if not a sorc.
But in reality , we will have to run pindle till we fall asleep, rinse and repeat, I can solo Baal but my merc dies over and over to the immunes, just cost me 1 Mill and ALOT of time for a single Baal kill
“Just infinity + enigma.” Yeah dude bake in 3 ber runes by that time you would’ve got a stash of tal guardianship already.
@@Max-cs1dn Sad thing is bro I have played in groups with people who already have it all....they still take all the loot lol
do you believe your own Story Internet Noob?
You need ap fort or eth treachery. Eth cv insight for dmg and eth or non eth andy visage with 10 life leach socketed with 15ias 30 fire resist.
I'm using obedience forti and talk mask on my Merc and he's easly do 8kdmg with my hammerdin concentration aura and 4,5 without. It's a great setup he pretty much destroy everything. As for your setup I strongly suggest change blessed aim Merc to holy freeze cuz it's pointless on sorc. And since you have reaper toll that comes with life leach change tal mask to guill helm for some extra cb. He will destroy uniqes, bosses alone with this setup .
What pisses me off is that holy freeze aura for merc is only available in nightmare. Hell it has available blessed aim and another couple useless auras
currently looking for Tal Rashas so this videos very helpful
I like the R, Slav Chef approves!
mercenaries goes wack wack wack ^^ my new favorite quote
Ballpark of worms.... Yeah I'm going to use that
I found tal rasha guardian ship in maggot lair, always, that place is magical for that
I remember, I remember the wonderful D2 days when Pindlebots run on 4 computers in Hard Core He he he
Unfortunatly is pindle only good for PC or PS5 on PS4 you wait about 15 seconds to log out and 35! seconds to log in. So pindle is not worth it.
Can only log in at nighttime. No chance during day. Servers overloaded
@@shunri936 yeahh i know this is so fucking Bad.
Found this armor the other day and didn't think anything of it. Stashed it in a mule and moved on until seeing a bunch of game names offering soj or high rune for it. Guess I found something good for once 😉
I have 3 Tal Rasha armor. I never knew it's that expensive. lol
Found my first one from my first hell cows run. And just recently found one off of baal
is there any way you can make a video for people like me, who maybe have time to play 3-4h/week - what's the most efficient to farm etc.? Obv. my gear isn't great so I'm struggling really hard. Thanks! Appreciate your videos.
I find farming the council in Travincal and Mephisto to be the most rewarding
You must provide more information, its challenging to put something because there are many ways to struggle in this game. Like difficulty, resistance you have, runewards you have and so on
I am running a blizz sorc, my Resis are 40-75 on hell (poison being the highest), but I really just struggle with damage output. I can easily do Andy, Countess and Ancient Tunnels, but Mephisto and Chaos are not doable for example. Hope this helps.
U cant just add chances.
Your logic: the chance a coin will show up side A will be is 50% (true)
then u say: so if u throw the coin 2 times the chance of seeing side A minimum once will 100% (thats not true, it could be side B two times)
but the chance is just 75% ;-)
1000+ pindle runs and I got it. About the only good find other than a few things that trade for Lem to Pul
Had 2 drop from Pindle. But Gl with that with the game creation nerf.
Are you seriously complaining about a 1min timer? Wow . . . sad . . . KC
I just found mine a day ago doing pindle / halls of pain runs. I got them from a boss skeleton pack in halls of pain, but extremely lucky after 5 hours of runs. I cleared halls of pain because if the game limiting after pindle.
I’ve played this game since it came out 20 years ago- I’ve only ever found 1 piece of tal rashas set. It was the amulet, when d2R came out. Thanks to the servers, I lost it & it didn’t save.
i got my first tal armor from nilathak with my 11mf trapsin. my 2nd tal armor dropped from baal with my 350mf sorc. so video checks out. i guess the 11mf nilathak drop was kind of nuts.
Another plus to Baal is the experience gain is way better and he drops rare respec essences that can trade for alot
If you can survive it, Baal runs are best for the additional reason that it gives you the most XP in the game. You can level to 99 while MF-ing.
you can go the nilathak route for that as well he is quite nice for exp and so easy to find
and with the server state atm pindle +nilathak became the way for me cause sometimes only nilathak is to fast depends on snakes or not :D
I’ve found 3, 2 in ancient tunnels, one off pindle.
D2 Bob Ross
The Diablo MF probability stated was the quest drop rate.
My Tal Armor dropped in the Ancient Tunnels from a random mob.
Now I am hunting for the Tal Amulet and it avoids me for 2 weeks now.. :(
same, got it in Ancient tunnels, :)
I had a tals ammy and then one of the infamous new game release bugs deleted it 😭
Sry Bro but maybe it helps, i found my amu 2 Times one Time in Nightmare Andariel second Under Kurast from a Bird Champion. Wish you the best Luck.
Found mine with 0 MF. ZERO!!! Was doing Cow runs for some Eth merc bases...logged off, next day forgot to put normal gear back on doing my 1st AncientT run, and BOOM!
I get it's more effective to run pindle over baal, but for me, I'm after the essence as well. So it makes it worthwhile for me to run baal. Plus the awesome xp.
Edit: good video
The way you talk is very similar to Bob Ross but for Diablo 2 Resurrected instead of painting :)
