It took a long time to do 1000 terror zone runs, but I found some AMAZING loot for my troubles.
Some of the Highlights include:

Griffon's eye
Windforce
Arachnid mesh
An amazing Mara's amulet
High runes

What people dont realize while watching these short well editted videos, is how long this takes. The effort put in is immeasurable. I have only a few hundred terror zones under my belt so i understand!
(Love the videos)
People esp the young, never actually play d2r. All they do is watch videos and think they know it all. But that way you won't gain any skill. I've done hundreds of TZ runs and have found exactly 1 MAL. I was happy.
No amount of watching well-redacted slicky videos will give you that feeling.
I'm going out on a limb an say it took 45 hours. I'm not basing my guess on him stating that at the beginning of the video either.
@@billcarruth8122 Lmao
@@kosterix123your dopamine hits are the same as others. Stop dehumanizing people and thinking that because your old you have more patience
if you and nuclear rabbit did more videos together, you could go dutch on the editing
Your ability to find arachnid mesh astounds me. I have an enigma and an infinity on my single player, but still no arachnid mesh. Tons of more rare unique items as well. The rng of this game is what keeps me into it.
I didn’t realize I found 3(!) of them until I was editing the video. Didn’t find a single shako during this for comparison…
I totally agree with you on D2 rng! But it can be frustrating.
This game is absurd
I made cta, hoto and found Astreon's before finding a fucking Oculus :D
I found 2 arachind mesh on the same run in wsk.I find a lot rarer uniques in wsk that's where I found my deathweb
Keep the videos coming dude.I found nearly item,but never dropped a Griffon,well done
Question, how long did you play in areas where you could find Arachnid mesh? It can take quite a while. I'm playing on and off for 6 month after I leveled my Ama to 99. Also played on and off a year before that. Got 5 Arachs so far.
I love your videos. D3 was my first Diablo, and after having such a great time I bought D2R, and loved it even more. Like waaaaaaay more. I got D4 on release, and I've played it a fair amount. I still enjoy D2 way more, and after consideration I think it's because D2's loot (Itemization) is literally so exciting.
D4 has superior combat, and a more modernized gameplay feel but the feeling of getting a good drop in the game doesn't hold a candle to the feeling of getting a good drop in D2. Great video man.
Thank you! 🙂
I totally agree with your analysis. D4 and D3 feel good and have more fun combat for sure, but the drops get totally uninteresting very fast while d2 kind of is the exact opposite!
Personally I also love D2 items having different sizes. It's just a minor detail but it makes the game so much more enjoyable for me!
if they can fix loot in d4 that game will be absolute fire tho. Season 2 already is a lot better... I hope they can fix it
D2 it’s the best of the entire franchise.
@@LilGamingYestetris vibe
That Ormus drop with the perfect fire roll and +3 enchant is absolutely delicious. I'm extremely jealous.
9:01 BER ith JAH gave me a heart attack, dont scare us like that
also Im annoyed that I found 2 griffons before arachnid mesh and you have like 10 of them
Haha glad it worked 😉
I have found a lot of arach’s, but 2 griffons before arach is crazy!
D2R rng man…
Was it on purpose? You troll my heart skipped a beat :D lol
@gergonagy7730 haha 😜😁
When I was younger, my younger brother and I went to make a BOTD. I can't remember what base it was, but we messed up putting the runes in 😂😂. After reading this comment, I called my brother, and we had a good laugh. That was probably 16 or 17 years ago... Man, time flies...
That Rune Hold ring from pindle was great. Awsome leach on both
you rich with that ring, its insane, mb best your loot
Thank you for reigniting my interest in D2:R❤
I’ve started at getting my account up to having a few good farming toons😂
I wish you good loot luck! 😁
@@zarfen thanks😁
I laughed outloud at 14:32
18:22 very valuable for Enchant Demon Machine Sorceress.
Perfect fire mod as well.
Looks like a fun build!
yo that merc actually made me see i wasnt subbed , funny creative way to say " dont forget to like and subscribe " LMAO great vid as always
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I loved that too!
At first it felt a bit irritating.
Then I laughed because of the creativity and because it was actually just funny and not that "blocker", as it felt within the first second.
I kind of understand why people in the comments react negatively to it, but I am more confused about the over reaction to this short break.
After all, there is so much effort going into it and people just seem to take it for granted and react negatively for a slighly perceived inconvenience, that was not even that inconvenient really.
It's sad that some people are so angry about that, when it's just a funny way of asking for support back that costs the viewer nothing more than a click for all the work and effort that we can enjoy for free.
Nice video. I was excited to find a use for Arkaines Valor, the +2 is great for a Frost/Fire bowazon that doesnt have the HR for enigmas or CoH. The bright red color looks fantastic :)
Love the bowazon so I’ll keep this in mind for the future!
Ive been farming occulus for days for my blizz soc and never found it.. stopped 3 days, i grabbed my switch and thought oh lets do a mephisto run.. first run in and dropped occulus 🤣🤣
i used to use an eth 2os giant skull on my hammerdin's merc back in the day. i ran with an act 1 cold merc with an ice bow, gskull with 2 15ias/15 all res jewels, and an eth CoH. i liked the knockback and crushing blow on the gskull, it was good for pushing enemies back and into the hammer's range when i telestomped packs.
That griffons eye is amazing, ive been trying so long to get a good roll for my lightning sorc
Some amazing drops in here. I've only dipped my toes into terror zones and I only have one Sunder charm. It may be time to dive in and get some levels and gear. That dual leech ring is really nice. I don't think I have a highlords' even though I have a metalgrid, so that would be a nice find.
Your vids are hilarious 😂
Thanks, Jake! That’s great to hear 🙂
Mans found a (spoiler free) right toward the end, HC chars would give their ear for it
Been looking forward to this one!
Special thing about Arkaine's vslor is that it was one of the handful of uniques that were better pre-1.09 LoD (like Vampire Gaze). If i remember right it had % damage reduction instead of a regular value, and the +2 skills was static. V Gaze had a set dual 8/8 leech with 25% DR vs the ranges and 15-20% DR in 1.09.. the good ole days
In d2 LoD, I remember going back to earlier patches in single player to hunt for certain items. Valkyrie wing was also very different iirc
True - but dem 1.08 dupes 😂😂😂
But u got chain of honor --- all that minus the LARGE life pool 😢
My bbarb had Boss HP numbers 😢
Your grinding patience really never disappoints bro! Can you do a video on 0-100 HC with tips on items and skills? That has been the hardest one for me yet.
I’m not that good at not dying so HC would be a real challenge for me 😅
I’m interested in doing a 1-99 challenge, but it’s a big time commitment so I don’t see it happening right now. It’s on my list of video ideas though!
For future reference, the colossus voulge will always get 4 sockets from larzuk.
Gratz on the Griff!
That grissy always drops 4os for me, that ring is probably the best thing u found besides the diadem. 3 years and i haven't found another near perfect griffs.... awesome drops. I dropped a ber in Nihlatak second one in 3 years as well, crazy how this game moved stuff around to accomodate drops on terrorized zones
that ring is crazy insane, he rich now 🎉
Good finds and clever presentation
Thanks!
dude!! how do u get the stash space to store all those items???
I have over 10 mule characters right now in single player. I should clean some stuff out but it’s so hard to decide what to keep and what to throw away 💀
@@zarfen lol thats one thing i prefer poe over d2 though both are the best.
The craziest thing i found was a SOJ in nightmare fighting the butcher
Great video!!
Thank you!
Eth zod'ed arcanes valor used to be bis for Barbs way back in the day.
2:39 that ring is bonkers
great loot man! nice video
Thanks buddy!
keep the loot coming. Really enjoyed these videos since I remember playing d2 back in the day like 15 - 20 yrs ago...
so whats new in d2r? better graphics and some new items & runewords..?
Man.. this has me wanting to start play again...
D2R started as a better graphics overlay with some quality of life changes but new patches have changed how things work and even added new runewords. Too much to summarize in a comment but the essence/base is still the same
Griffons and eth reapers back to back, wow. That pindle dual leech ring is gorgeous.
Eth hone sundan upgraded to ghost is my favourite spear in the game. Be careful when spearzon-impaling with it though. I once broke a really nice sundan in which I had put a 15/37 jewel. I thought repairs durability worked like replenishes quantity. Alas it doesn't :( My most stupid moment ever in d2.
Oh and giant skull is quite amazing on faith bowzons. Crushing blow, knockback, 30ias, and even 80ed if you are rich. Best in slot for me.
I did not know repairs durability worked differently from replenish quantity, that’s rough!
Interesting challenges. Great drops. Enjoyable narration. I give it: Shako out of 10!
I was panic clicking to subscribe to see the diadem only to find I'm already subscribed 😢
Haha 😄
The guards must have made a mistake. Current subs are supposed to be taken to the VIP shortcut through the checkpoint
holy hell, that rare ring "rune hold" is absolute beast x_x wtf
if it only had life instead of mana, this would be worth several d2r accounts lol
Bitter sweet finding good rares on single player 😬
Just found ondals wisdom in cow terror zone. Its worth an ist or something decent but im pretty pumped
I have been farming for months to find a Hoz and Zarfen just vendors his, the disrespect!
I have found 3 Jahs, 3 Griffons, 5 Lo, Deaths Web+Fathom, Mang songs, Astareons and more… but no HoZ… it is a cruel joke. I have 4 Dragonscales too..
@3rendan wow, d2 rng can be crazy!
@@3rendanAgreed, I've found every rune multiple times (with zod being the exception of once) 3 mangsongs 2 tyreals, 2 dwebs, 6 soj, 2 bulkathos, every other item... no griffon eye yet. Rng can be sad sometimes
Loved the vid, just I wish you showed us what gear you used for this so I could compare it to my build I’m working on and make improvements to mine. Seems like a good build to
Have 105fcr 6k blizzard and 400mf
Glad you liked it!
I was experimenting with different styles of “character introductions” when I made this video, but I definitely agree with you about showing the exact gear for this kind of video. I unfortunately don’t remember what I was wearing when I made this video
Its unfortunate you cubed the eth cv, cv's max sockets is 4, would of been perfect for socket quest.
Good point! Whoops 😂
A waste of a valuable sockey quest. CVs are by far the easiest to find good polearms. Also insight works well on literally anything and sorcs are particularly not dependent on merc dmg :)
13:12 Would that Lightsabre be good on your lightning assassin?
Not particularly. Crescent moon is where it's at!
8:30 unique naga missed?
Great finds, was this on player1 or player8? thanks
Players 1.
I did some players 3 runs when starting the assassin to gain levels faster, but quickly swapped back because runs took longer
great video! are you running this on p1?
Yes! I did a few p3 runs with the assassin to get levels quicker at the beginning, but quickly went back to p1 because I didn’t like the slower run speed. Other than that all players 1
When you sold the HoZ I was laughing so hard
the short delay made it kinda personal. A piece of my casual-andy heart died there
Nice video!! Are you doing the terrorzones on p7?
Thanks! No I was doing these on p1, a little bit of p3 when I switched to the assa for more exp, but went back to p1 after not long
The eth reapers toll was awesome.
appreciate the roll statistics
0:21 whoah whoah, what? 5% faster CASTRATE ?! is castrate a new sorcerer spell? >_> wrong syllable man =D
😂
And then the barbarians battle cries suddenly sounded oddly high pitched, like a little girl screaming.
No way you found a griffons, nice!
DAMN. Near perfect GRIFFON and ETH reaper's toll!??!?
Yo that dual leech ring is a 5 point ring, NICE FIND!!!
speaking of patching old items i hope they remove bone prison from arm of king leoric
That would be cool, but a nice workaround is to just use it to summon and then switch to something else. Hoto, white, dweb, spirit, etc
Enemies dropping hrs off screen is indeed stuff of nightmares. I wonder how many I've missed over the years.
Don't want to think about it!
Great drops! also assassins don't need keys to open locked chests, saw keys in the stash, so was just wanted to point out.
Thanks for the reminder! I play so little assassin(though I like the class!) that I always forget that :) tbh I didn’t even know about it until resurrected released!
I didn't know that, ty for info
Why is -70% considered perfect on a sundered charm when it can roll to -90%? Does it lower the players resistance?
(Ima noob who played some LOD back in the day and only got a bit into D2R for the nostalgia)
That’s right, it’s the player’s resistance that is lowered. When I first saw them I though it was enemy monsters resists too and I was like WTF is this OP charm?!
I think the concept of items with good and bad modifiers is interesting.
@@zarfenThat's what I loved so much about Diablo I and original Diablo II.
It was more of an RPG, where you had trade-offs to specialize your character and it gave the items more "soul", rather than just being more of a "maximizing all stats" issue.
They do a great job with it still, but the negative stats always gave the items this specific "deal with the devil" feeling, because you got it from demons, after all.
It made you stronger, but that power came with a cost.
Or there were these "good items", that had a story woven around them and you got from a special place, like an artifact.
I always still think of "what story might be behind this item?" and come up with different ideas, that the concept of the item lends (e.g. thiefs crown, Ali Babas blade... or the arctic set for example)
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU SOLD HoZ TO VENDOR!!!!!!! REEEEEEEE
Cant you force TZ area changes on SP?
I remember getting an almost perfect maras, of course had a hota/engima hmerdin.
Would love if they could add some new items/skills/enemies/areas to game.
We can always hope but I’m not too optimistic myself at this point.
would be interesting to see a run of 'killing all monsters in all areas only once' and see how the level/gearing progression goes!
When you make these videos, you put in the roll chances as you identify stuff (eg 1-3 skills)...do you look up the individual items and put them in as you go? Or am I missing a site/webpage that has it all listed out? TIA!
I do all of that manually when editing. That’s why I sometimes skip some of the less important rolls like enhanced defense on most armor.
Bro that dual ring cost fortune, many many jahs or fg, best drop among all for sure.
I haven’t gotten anything good in these terror runs. Lucky.
Nice drops bro, i rolled my first offline Grief a week ago and it rolled 40/400 ❤😊
Amazing, congrats!
Am i missing something or is he confused when he refers to the % rolled on the -resistance of the grand charms as "perfect" when they are the lowest they could roll?
The -% resistance on sunder charms applies to you, not enemies, so the lower the roll the better :)
@@zarfen wow I thought it was just a run on sentence that the devs typed and assumed it was applied to the monsters. Thank you for clearing up!
@darkshad9 I thought the same the first time I saw them
I love the sense of humor in these videos.
So after doing all those Terror Zones, do you feel that they're a good addition to the game? Or do they make finding runes items too easy? I've heard people say Terrorized Andy/Meph are too good but I haven't got that far myself yet.
Thanks! That makes me happy to hear 🙂
Yes I think they’re a great addition! I probably wouldn’t run just TZones like I did in this video though.
Andy especially feels a bit OP but since you can’t control what zone is up I don’t think it’s a problem.
I am currently attempting to level a Daggerzon - was not aware of this build previously (not played THAT much D2 or anything). Hit a bit of a roadblock as I am lv28 and struggling in Act 5 normal :) Not great I know. I take it the idea is to level up as a conventional build and then respect into daggerzon? Or does the niche build only work with certain items?
Upgraded scalper is actually pretty damn good if its eth, also super cheap to upgrade, just a Lum + Pul. That and a lacerator lets you farm hell super comfortably.
I might have to give that a try!
Can you introduce the equipment and stats at the beginning of the video so that newbies like me can easily access it?
Quick question. Why would you want the scythe to be ethereal?
Is the merc immune to taking durability damage to his equipment?
Yes, that is correct! So ethereal items are always superior on mercenaries
Love that charsai of paladin shield, ha
mediocer drop,
good sir i dream of that Ormus Robes, not just for enchant demon machine sorc, but for act3 enchant merc on other setups as well
💀
I must apologize to the Ormus. At the time I hadn’t tried the new bow sorc, but I recently made one and I love her. The Ormus will be awesome to use in the end.
Oh for sure. I even use that ormus on rabies druids merc. Just to get my self above 30k AR xD
Cannot believe after all that not one SOJ or shako. Have you got a lighting Javazon?
Still not a single SoJ in D2R for me :(
I have an amazon in hell and decent Java gear but not that I usually play
I wish you luck on ladder season 6 sir. I will need it as well, i want to make a holy fire sorceress... on console, so trading is difficult.
Arcaines valor got nerfed in 1.09 before that it was much better especially considering that the gameplay was much different back then
What were the stats before the nerf?
@@zarfen iirc:
+2 all skills, +2.5 vitality/per level, +2 life per level, 50% fire resist...
Hence a massive life boost
The bugged had 4OS 🙈
@marcello4258 ok that’s a LOT of life, especially on some chars :o
Yeah, I wish they would make Arcaines Valor good again!
After all, it is a special item that already existed in the first game, just like Windforce and Stormshield, and deserves better than being tossed aside like that, due to its lack of actually helpfull stats.
Arcaines Valor needs to be updated to it's former glory.
Maybe not with 200+ Vitality, but in some other way, because it is a legendary item.
Good video, thanks. And no need to carry keys with Asassin, right? :D
Thanks!
Haha yes, I completely forgot about that! Another comment pointed it out to me :)
I played Diablo 2 and LOD. I could never bring myself to do the grind. I remember doing about 1000 runs of Andariel and not getting what I wanted, then deleted the game. That was like 2004. I played D2R till I beat all modes and lost interest in doing anything after that.
Great video! I just wish they wpuld upgrade uniques to a heavier performance thus make them harder to find.
Thanks! Yeah that would be a nice change. So many trash uniques you find too often
Is this P1? I am always curious if these montages are P7 with increased drops. I can barely do p1 hell and i just respeced from orb to blizzard due to my lack of damage.
This was 95% players 1. I tried doing some players 3 when I switched to the assassin, mostly for experience since she was so under-leveled, but I didn’t stick with it because of the slower clear speed.
so a cold sorc that has beaten hell. How did you get past the cold immunities to even reach that?
I think i've spent over 800 hours in TZ (NM) and made all my chars clvl 82 that way (true solo offline). Very much enjoyed melting everything on p8.
Teleport
Or
Static field + mercenary (+telekinesis to stun lock enemies)
@@zarfen but static field doesn't work against duriel hell. I never quite understood telekinesis so I'll take your word for it 🙂
some videos on telekinesis would be cool.
You can also run a hybrid (with the fire skill hydra for example) until you get yourself a sunder and some - res gear and then respect to pure cold
Fun video, thank you.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Are you on players 3 on single player ?
Did they change +% elemental dmg for "pets"?
Last time I played the traps didnt get the bonus dmg from griffons.
Yes! They changed that in d2R in some patch. Though I haven’t tested it myself that it works 100%.. they failed to implement it for traps at first when they introduced the change 😅
IK weapon is bugged right, I don't think I've ever seen a non 40% one?
Hello Sir. May I ask why you dont farm in more players game? Doesnt it will give you more drop?
Hi. Yes, but it takes longer = less runs in the same amount of time.
I also like to keep it to players 1 for the most part so online players don’t feel alienated
i remember last year before i stopped playing the lightning damage and -lightning enemy res was only for other skills but not for traps, does it work now?
It was fixed in a patch but tbh I didn’t test to confirm 😅
Maras was insane
Yeah! In hindsight the Mara’s didn’t get the screen time it deserved in the video. Never found a 30@ maras before in Diablo 2!
I have never ever found eth Hone Sundan. Always knew it existed, always wanted it, never ever even seen it.
it made me extremely happy to see you charsi that HoZ. i hate paladins so much.
Does griff work for traps now? I always thought it didn’t apply…
Yeah it was changes to apply to traps in D2R. In LoD it didn’t work
@ ahhh gotcha, that’s a great change. D2r did a few things right.. wish they would have kept up on it.
Yeah they did some good stuff for D2R. In hindsight it was probably all marketing for D4 so I’m not too optimistic for more changes but I’m happy we got some things
Yo Zark you can infinite respec in single player settings on bnet screen put -enablerespec in the line and hit the stat points button and boom respec 4 EVA,
can you only get sunder charms on ladder characters? or does non-ladder work?
you can find it on non ladder too
quick question mate, im trying to get to level 99 on hardcore with a hammaderdin, managed to reach level 94 so far and just got my enigma (finally), so my question is is doing terror zones with player 5+ is the fastest possible way or you have any suggestions?
thank you in advance.
Hey! I'm honestly not an expert, never made it to 99 myself. People used to run CS, WSK/Baal and Nihlatak for the 99 grind before terror zones existed, but at your level they are so much lower level than Terror Zones so I don't think it's even close.
@@zarfen so terror zones it is then lol 😂, thanks man.
Keep up the good work 💪
@Omairi86 good luck on the grind!
My friend and I where playing and I was playing my fohadin and him his sorc that dropped like a week into ladder that being the arachnids mesh eathreal and I gave to him cuz I was tanking it lasted almost long enough to get a non eathreal one lol it was pretty epic I mean it’s nice if you got a gold wrap on instead lol
why is -70 better then -90 on the sunder charms? isent more better? why are they backwards?
Because it’s your resistances that get -(70-90), not enemy monsters.
I remember back in 1,10 the stats from Griffons would not apply on traps. Do I have bad memory or has this been changed?
No you are right! This was changed in a patch for D2R so that it now does apply to traps
@@zarfen thats an awesome change! btw love your videos brother. just watched every 1000 lootrun video of yours. mad respect for the amount of work that goes into these. totally dig your humor
@upyours2707 yeah ‘crescent moon’ is such a good and cheap option for trapsins now!
thanks, I’m glad you like the videos!
Is arm of king leoric anything special? Found one on sc ladder
Best in slot for summon necro damage wise. Hoto beats it terms of usability though.
Why sander charm -70% is better than -90%? I thought the more (the less as it's minus) is the better in that case?
The negative resistance on those charms is not for enemies, it’s for your character :)
I must admit nothing looks reckognizable for me, I played original game when it came out, but this is totally new for me. Is it new material? Should I come back to the game again? I have some free time
I think it’s a great remaster. I really like the graphics, they added some cool new things (like terror zones) but it’s still Diablo 2 LoD underneath
Nice drops,not bad.
