Hello Sir . Can you make a video about the 3 companion whats the best option for every class to pick and what the best items to push you companion for solo rifts . That was be interesting to see clearly , what legends make more sense to push you true the Big Rifts .
How good would it be to do the old Diablo II "Stone of Jordan" strategy: Speed level do the one one time Boss in Act I on Nightmare, Hell and then delete. Here It would be new Charakter and do GR 70 the first time then delete. With all the Altar buffs it should be realy fast. I have to test if automatical Primal at GR 70 is doubled from Altar to.
sigma grindset for sure (i also have a brain that finds grinding in the most optimal way possible fun, its a miracle i never caught the mmorpg bug tbh)
BRO SAID THIS GAME IS NOT ABOUT HAVING FUN!!!! Lol I know he’s the best and as many GR as he’s doing fun left at his 1 millionth GR so …. Yeah he probably does know the absolute best way to grind
@@XHL0X I'd say just pick one build to focus on for now and u can try the other ones later. If it's not ancient, you can probably just salvage it for other items. It's definitely too much to try and keep track of everything at the beginning! I think you'll have a lot more fun powering up one character and blasting rifts!
I feel so called out: How many of you go to town, gamble, then come back for those shards? I raised my hand while making my coffee and saw Raxx do the finger wave while looking me dead in my eye. This video is full of pro-tips.
@@skidmarx1st Console player here. Can confirm. Also it still doesn't make a difference. Its the same as PC. I with Raxx on this. Those bloodshards you can't pick up aren't worth going back for.
@@skidmarx1ston console if you've cleared at least 136 solo then you have an 1855 shard cap which let's you do 4 × 110 speed runs (which drops 457 shards 4*457=1828) if you're like me and carry an imperial and marquise of each gem and a potion, that you have enough inventory space to pick up a 4 full GR110 runs worth of loot and shards. Identify it, then quickly go through the inventory using the green stars to navigate and use the mark as junk button in order to be able to mass salvage the junk legendaries. Salvaging a single legendary on PS4/5 requires three button presses, select, confirm, okay. That's 144 button presses and roughly a minute. Marking 50 items as junk requires 48 button presses and can be done in about 20 seconds if you're checking ancients. I usually don't go into the follower token/potions screen because the navigation is longer and will just salvage them manually. After this you roll and inventorys worth of yellow rings. I still use the mark as junk functionality here (faster due to only needing to navigate to one slot) and go back down into the rifts. Another console trick is if you've not gotten to GR pushing or you're farming 120's you can open your inventory while TPing (it pauses the game but doesn't cancel the TP) and check your shards on third run and sometimes I'll trade for a couple rings until I'm below 1300 if I have enough inventory space. That usually ensures I have enough shardspace left for one more run.
@@rakivmoo As Echoing Nightmares are a bit inflated you can reach 125 even if you cant clear a GR 125. With my WW barb and my Marauder DH I can clear Echoing Nightmares to 150 even though I can only clear like a 115-125 with them solo but I guess it also depends on your Paragon level. I am like Paragon 1300 or so on non season and cna achieve what i just wrote.
Super helpful. I have been in a position before where I was farming GR 100s in about 3 min, but I’ve always been slow. This video really did open my eyes to things I was doing wrong, like min-maxing before augments, wasting time in town, going back for shards. But I’ve got three primals in about two or three days and I owe it to this guide. Six primals in one season seemed impossible to me, but now it seems doable.
A piece of advise I would add that I don't think Rax included: When you're running your Nephalem rifts to farm keys, make sure you have the Cain's Destiny (I think it is) set on your follower. You'll get a 25% chance per GR key that drops for there to be an extra key that drops. More GR keys = More GR's that can be run.
Ruthless explanation! This is what I subscribed for years ago and this is why I stayed. I say this every time... you are a beacon of excellency and everyone should take example of this methodical, precise way of doing things. In every field of work and mastery! I am a filthy casual, and have like 1% of the season as free time to play...but hell I will play it like you recommend. Cause being effective = FUN. Raxx for world domination!!
About the blood-shards: unfortunately, if you are on the console you can't pick up till full, you can either get all of them or none of them, so If you want those 500 you have to go to town and spend some.
Got started on diablo 1 from my grandfather. I've had at least 1500 plus hours on diablo 2, and I have been playing D3 since the very first day it came out. This is the HANDS DOWN best video for information I have seen for the new seasons. Thank you Raxx for clearing a lot of stuff up for me even as a die-hard player. Keep up the great work!!!!!
I get that this game is about getting the most out of your character, but when you said this game is not about having fun, that struck a chord with me. You have to have fun while playing this. If not, why even play it at all. I’m sorry, but that was a pretty duche thing to say. Some of us actually have to work for a living. Like actually work. I have a wife, car payments, bills. I’m not lucky enough to sit on my ass and get paid to play games. And even if I did, I would still play this for fun. You may want to rethink your priorities.
You are so awesome Rax! When you got to 13:37 I was like "yep that's me right here, leave no man/bloodshards behind" I plead guilty. I will change my bad behaviour and optimise further.
I am happily farming GR 110s thanks to your build guides. Crushing them in under 3 min with my GOD DH. Also working on a Tal Rasha wizard for the same purpose. Those primals don't just appear, you have to get them!
@sbeard90 gear cap is actually 100. 90 is max 12 items, but can drop blue and yellow. 100 drops all legendaries. Theres a video floating around showing this, dont have the link off the top of my head. I think its by wudjo
"The Town is Lava" bit is LITERALLY my D3 duo! EVERY GR EVERYTIME he sifts through it all and gambles shards, and will tell me to not talk to Oorek so he can grab the few shards he left behind. I told him to go and watch lmao
Great guide. I'll add that sometimes near perfect quad gloves that roll a good secondary rez will be > than an augment ancient with less stat distribution. Season 28 will force a lot of non GR grinding though, some people may have to spend 20-50hr for herding, uber farming to try proc an ancient hellfire and with dbl bounty mats, stuff like bounties are definitely worth your time for rerolls and upgrade. Once everything is done, altar is done etc, then yeah full blast GR mode.
I dont nearly play as much as Rax. But when me and my buddies started the season we blasted with those rules. We didnt waste any time and spammed GRs like mad, always 3 in a row. If someone had to go afk, he left the party so that the others can blast along without interruption. I can tell you, cleaning 90s+ in under a minute is satisfiying af. Everyone of us had the primals needed for the altar together quite fast. And even if the direct GR loot sucks anus for me, Kadala did give me a full ancient set in no time. The bloodshards did come from all the speeding of course. On day 3 into this mad season we cleared our first 150 and made it to #28 in the 3 players EU leaderboard. Casual players who usually loose interest after 2 weeks of season. So yeah, Rax is absolutely right here. Another thing you need to be aware of when playing with others is that you should drop all "but i wanna" mindsets. I for example am the worst player of my group of four. So i played support DH when we pushed. My cousin who is the best played Meteor cause its the most dificult job to dodge damage for keeping squirts up while timing diamond skin, potion and CoE correctly all while you need to aim at the right spot. Support usually is much easier. False pride and the wrong mindset with insisting on playing something someone else could do better hurts your efficiency immensely. If being efficient isnt fun for you in this game, then you have to settle with far less. Because this game is made for people who have fun being efficient. When i first started doing seasons, all that rushing wasnt fun for me too but then i changed my mindset about it and it became one of my favourite games.
To farm the fastest T16 for keys is public hopping. I just queue T16 Public kill the Guardian and leave and join the next one if youre lucky the next one will be almost completed already, kill it and leave. repeat. you can farm 200 keys in 15 mins on a lucky basis.
I am registered legally blind, and I have less than 5% eyesight. I am never going to be able to speed farm with nearly the same kind of efficiency as everybody else. Last season, I got to my highest GR level, which was 99. This season, my only real goal is to push past 100. I have also never augmented my gear, I know exactly how to do it. but I generally only play the game for a month after the season begins. So I've never really played long enough to start augmenting. Someone will probably want to tell me that a month is more than enough time to begin augmenting. Which again, I am not as fast or as efficient as you are. I highly doubt I will get to finish the altar, but I am definitely going to try. My goals for this season as simple. Clear a 100 GR, augment most, if not all of my items. And try to finish the altar. I might not be as fast or efficient as everybody else. But I still appreciate all the videos you make, and all the tricks and tips that you have taught me. Even if I can't implement them all into my own gameplay. They are still fun videos to watch so thank you, Rax.
Just want to say this was an awesome video, BUT the title is kinda misleading by making it sound like theirs a trick to getting more primals when there isnt. lol. just gotta farm farm and more farm. Also want to thank you for the website you showed in the video since I didnt know it existed and has been helping a ton. so thank you much on that. I personally like the spin to win barb, but having a hella bad time getting deaths breaths to reroll mighty weaps to legendaries.
I'd like to mention another 2 other hints that could add up on time efficiency. 1 - Stay at Tristram, the city is smaller and have a good layout for fast savagind/gambling/rift opening. and 2 - you don't need to identify the items as you can see by the shadow the item that is going to be revealed, store unID stuff that can be useful in your chest and savage the rest unID. Those 30 secs after a Nefalem can be used to ID the stored items. (also: click + enter to fast savaging)
@@juliasophical no, it looks the best i agree .. but the distance between armory and kadala is far to big to be efficient when gambling shards Also the cube and the Pylon for rifts is too far apart
Po Polsku PL - Tak jest, zgadzam się w 100% procent, masz rację trzbea przyspieszyć grę, robić szybko gr i 3 razy w jednym ciągu jeden po drugim i dopiero potem się rozladować ze śmieci u kowala i przepalić krwawe odlamki u kadali i lecimy dalej to samo - jeżeli chodzi o głębokie szczeliny - bo odkrywanie pieczęci na ołtarzu to zupelnie inna sprawa. Także jeżeli chodzi o levleowanie to zgadzam się z Tobą w 100% Rax. Wymiatasz w tej grze:P ile razy ja skorzystałem juz z Twoich porad....i wiesz co to działa nie tylko ten filmik ale o wiele więcej Twoich filmów oglądałem i to sie sprawdza. Bez wchodzenia w dupe ...Rax jesteś Bogiem Diablo 3. Pozdrawiam kumatych i Ciebie. In ENGLISH USA - Yes, I agree 100% percent, you're right, you need to speed up the game, do gr and 3 times in a row, one after the other, and only then unload the garbage at the blacksmith and burn the bloody shards at kadala and we go on the same - for deep fissures - for uncovering the seals on the altar is another matter entirely. Also when it comes to leveling, I agree with you 100% Rax. You rock in this game: P how many times have I already used your advice .... and you know what works not only this video but many more of your videos I watched and it works. Without getting into the ass ... Rax you are the God of Diablo 3. Greetings to the dudes and you.
A GR90 is easily doable for any character once they have a full set, and ANY set at that. Even if you dont Augment the items it is still doable so long as the rest of your gear is correct. DH for example can clear a GR90 with the GOD set in under 3 mins with quite low Paragon. Once I can do that I generally just farm GR90 over and over until Im at least Paragon1000, then I start going higher but as Raxx said I stick to under 3 min runs at whatever max level I can do that in. With all the buffs this season, especially things like pets collecting resources its going to be even quicker and easier. I have never managed to get beyond 2000Paragon in a single season as a casual player so hoping to bust that with ease this time.
Raxx, i love your videos and really appreciate everything that you give to us. But the comment you made about how dare we enjoy ourselves playing this game, PMSL
True really good explain guide video helps me allot i did a gr and someone always salvage item or went to kadala after 1 gr finished so annoying just keep on moving 2-3gr then salvage 😊 hype
My wife doesn't play D3, but overheard when I watched this vid - said she'll now be shaking her head at me when I'm not doing GRs Thank you Raxx :D And great vid, thanks for making it :)
For efficiency sake, I always level my paragon while doing other things. Like when I'm porting to town or when I'm identifying items when my inventory is full. Doesn't sound much, but when you're pumping out dozens of GR's in a row, it helps you save time and maintain tempo.
lol playing a video game is not about fun.... omg died laughing... and i come out with more legendaries in Neph rifts especially when i run em until i cant ( homing crystal end )... and gotten better gear and primals from em more than anywhere else... especially in T16 nephlem rifts... primals drop EVERYWHERE... gotten some from vaults... from the petrified scream keys... doing bounties... i had 10 drop on me this season and started a week after it started and only managed GR 100... primals are just RNG like ancients and legendaries... sure you get more XP but thats all you get different from GR's ... btw a tip for this season... get ANNOINTED after the first perk in the altar... then you can gear up any new character in all lvl 70 gear and power level yourself at T6
Just to make the "it's not about fun" and "you can have fun doing that and being efficient". "You" can do whatever you want, but get these hints and make them what you want. No one likes to have low movespeed, unable to do the same as the other season and shit. Do these efficient hints, get a build going, them have fun. Or compete in the ladderboards if that's your fun. I'm on console, so ladderboard is just hackers anyway, I mean, just looking at them gave me aneurism, every item with +1000% damage and 3 sockets, clear time of 5 seconds to 40 seconds at GR150... Just have fun, after beeing efficient to be able to have fun.
Raxx: ...Port to town then go back to get the 100 Bloodshards you left. How many of you have done that? Wags his finger..."No"... Me: - Guilty 🖐 - Hangs head in shame. - Subbed
Hey Rax. Thank you for the great work you have done for the D3-community. You say that you get the max amount of items at G90 but does the quality of the items that drop increase with Glevel or is it only more XP?
Imo you forgot one thing which is always use act 1 as your base since it's the place where you have the less travel to do between identifying items, kadala and opening greater rifts
Once again, a great guide! It's been a great journey with you over the last couple of years; your vids have given me a new lease on D3, and the tips and tricks have made it more fun as well. I'll miss the D3 vids (I plan on coming back on occasion after the D4 release, just for a break), but will be looking forward to D4 content, an all-new game system to conquer! Cheers my friend!
Unsure if you've corrected this within the last month or so. But if you're able to do GR 100 within that 3 minute frame that's where u get the most drops. The ammount of drops ull see basicly all the time is 12 maybe 11, at 90 you can get 10 sometimes. That's atleast what has been shown by others in regards to this
Fastest primals is just doing gr90’s as fast as you can and do as many as you can. Drops max out at 90 and the faster you do them the more drops you get the faster you get primals.
Yes. However, if you are strong enough to do GR100, GR110, 115, 120, whatever at a similar speed to GR90, then doing those higher GRs makes more sense, as you get more experience for Paragon levels and also at least slightly more Bloodshards to gamble for stuff at Kadala.
But Raxxx maybe I don't drink your favorite beverage!! That's maybe why I don't clear GR 90!!:) Nice crystal clear video again! Thanks again for making those.
I've heard that (and think that) this probably won't be the last season. It's just the biggest. They'll probably keep going and redo older season themes.
i did all that except the augmenting thing, i'm gonna get on that right now. I was already doing level 80 Grifts in 2 minutes, so augmenting should make them go even faster and i'll bump to level 90. primal ancients here i come.
yo raxx just wanted to take the time to say thank you for this video. i tried doing things exactly as you said most especially the part where you recommended to do GR within 3 minutes and after my 4th GR i received my 2 primal. speed is indeed the key. thanks a bunch man!
I fucking love your delivery man, the way you tell people what the fuck is up is lovely, atleast for me, In Diablo I'm more of a casual, started last season (got GR 141 in time) but I would still call myself diablo casual, when I hear friends playing diablo so much more than me and they crying GR 100 is impossible I wanna smeck them in head since they my friends, they just prefer to cry than ACTUALLY TRY
I also find using act 2 town is the most efficient for rifting because there's less to click on and slow you down. Also I use immortal kings on barb for my seasonal set dungeon.... I can knock it out in 3 minutes with a whirlwind build while using bul kathos weapons with unlimited rage/mana
Question: Does game difficulty effect drops? Right now im on T13 and running GR 90 in about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Should i be doing it at T16? And thank you Raxx for all you do. Last season was our fist season and you made it so much easier and more enjoyable for my daughter and me. Sincerely, thank you. Cant wait for your Diablo 4 videos,
I don't know if this is normal but I get 1 primal drop every first GR I finish in Torment 13 or higher. It feels like less of a chore for me to get primals and most primals I receive aren't the one I am looking for or need for my class. So, for this season it shouldn't be a problem since I care less about them.
thx for the guide. (speed) greater rifts are more boring then bounties and rifts. you only do that, if you hate your life. ^^ also the word must implicitates no fun.
Hi Raxx!! Really can’t thank you enough for your incredible videos, explanations and everything you do. It’s all absolutely phenomenal and ty!! Your website is truly amazing too, so easy to use and a so informative for every single player out there. Just thought I’d share and show my appreciation!! Thanks again. Baz 🎉
I think of it like the efficiency-to-fun ratio is real, but it has a time factor to consider; like more efficiency does mean less fun in the short term, but it also means more fun in the long term. When the game gets very slow & grindy and every GR feels like it was isometric Dark Souls, it’s not really the most fun to me; but being efficient about things means I gear up & get stronger faster such that the GR that used to be Dark Souls is now a speed run.
Hey, thank you very much for the guide. I still have a question regarding item drops from grifts. While the number caps at GR 90 there are still blues and yellows dropping. If I go higher (100+) I almost never get them, does the chance decrease over time? Didn't really found that much on the topic and was wondering if theres a point where 12 legendarys are guaranteed.
Raxx wanna know your opinion on this: what do you do if your first primal is really good? Do you break it anyway to get the firs potion or continue farming hoping for the next one?
If the primal is good and usable I'd keep it and keep looking, especially if you're playing quite a bit. If you don't really play that much you probably should get those potion powers sooner than later since you may not find too many primals anyway. Most primals you find are just complete trash though so you really hope to use those to get the primordial ashes and not have to sacrifice usable primals that you find. So if that DOES happen on your first primal I'd probably just keep it.
If you augment every item your character is wearing to 125 ( you can easily do with EN) you will gain 8125 main stat. if you augment to 150 it adds 9750. it's a lot of missing damage if you don't augment.
The "barely finished the rift" thing should be limited to the final push for leveling gems, and explicitly to unlock milestones such as your first primal. And you should only be doing it for leveling gems if you explicitly aren't or can't play in a group to easily manage 150s.
Actually just started a wizard for the first time last Friday night at 10pm. Completed first greater rift this am. I still don't know what I'm doing. Lol but having fun doing it.
A real question for anyone who can answer. Lvl 70 paragon 55, if I play adventure on torment 1 and go to the riff obelisk. Does the difficulty on riffs override the torment difficulty in adventure mode when in riff???
I'm a huge TR/Firebird fan myself. And I try my hardest to never do less than 9 GRs at a time. With 3 town stops. Trying to live by that rule. Because I have a problem of stopping in town for 1-2 minutes
Raxx you deserve all the views you get man, you're the first person I think of when it comes to Diablo. Love your channel. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
When trying to get your gear tweaked should you not be re-rolling it? You mention you shouldn't be doing bounties, is this after a certain paragon when you have already got your gear like you want it and are just farming paragon? Cause I've been rerolling squirts all season.
Generally you want to save resources and just try to naturally find really good gear. Once most of your gear is high quality and augmented you can then cherry pick the items that still suck and do more crafting/rerolling/bounties to target farm those items. Basically get the bulk just spamming Greater Rifts then fine tune using your resources and bounties.
Hard to find group sadly, most people just want to be power leveled or get free items and then bugger off. Knew a person i used to group with but she quit i assume. So solo it is sadly
I need help. I'm trying and trying but as of now I've hadn't had any Luck getting the special wings etc. I'm on my own cuz my Friends and Colleagues don't like Diablo 😓 I'm playing over the switch. Is there someone who is willing to help me..... I don't know what to do.
Can join discords and try to find switch communities, or check in game if they exist on console (I'm not sure). Here's our Discord, some switch players out there but not a ton of em sadly. discord.gg/HDgzW33
Great video as always, the only thing I wish I could do to gain some time is to salvage ancient items without looking at them. I don't know the items and builds well enough to know what to salvage, so I'm probably losing ~5% of time :( When you assemble your farming build+pushing build at the same time, it's 26 items (+followers item at the beginning of the season), so that's a lot to remember!

About the blood-shards: unfortunately, if you are on the console you can't pick up till full, you can either get all of them or none of them, so If you want those 500 you have to go to town and spend some.
Thanks for this, Raxx. Got more primals than ever this season and finally got passed the 140 GR barrier.
I personally love the huge tables! Can't say enough how amazing maxroll is, and its free!
Thanks bud!

Nice to hear that I have been doing all of this for a while now. Thanks for the continued support to the community.
Got started on diablo 1 from my grandfather. I've had at least 1500 plus hours on diablo 2, and I have been playing D3 since the very first day it came out. This is the HANDS DOWN best video for information I have seen for the new seasons. Thank you Raxx for clearing a lot of stuff up for me even as a die-hard player. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Thank you so much Raxx, have loved all tour D3 content you've been millions of peoples rock, will defo see you in D4 ❤️
dont count your chickens, d4 could be another failure yet, certain things are looking a bit too 'Immortal'
I get that this game is about getting the most out of your character, but when you said this game is not about having fun, that struck a chord with me. You have to have fun while playing this. If not, why even play it at all. I’m sorry, but that was a pretty duche thing to say. Some of us actually have to work for a living. Like actually work. I have a wife, car payments, bills. I’m not lucky enough to sit on my ass and get paid to play games. And even if I did, I would still play this for fun. You may want to rethink your priorities.
You are so awesome Rax! When you got to 13:37 I was like "yep that's me right here, leave no man/bloodshards behind" I plead guilty. I will change my bad behaviour and optimise further.
Town is Lava!
I am happily farming GR 110s thanks to your build guides. Crushing them in under 3 min with my GOD DH. Also working on a Tal Rasha wizard for the same purpose. Those primals don't just appear, you have to get them!
FYI, gear cap is 90 GR so if you are just farming primals, no need to go any higher, just need 90+ for legendary gems
@@sbeard90 True, but also trying to level up gems so a little higher is helpful. Plus my build right now makes 110s easy peasy. Cheers!
@sbeard90 gear cap is actually 100. 90 is max 12 items, but can drop blue and yellow. 100 drops all legendaries. Theres a video floating around showing this, dont have the link off the top of my head. I think its by wudjo
i dont care for this gr level...
i wanna run solo 150
.
.beside that...boring
"The Town is Lava" bit is LITERALLY my D3 duo! EVERY GR EVERYTIME he sifts through it all and gambles shards, and will tell me to not talk to Oorek so he can grab the few shards he left behind. I told him to go and watch lmao
Thats what my brother does too its so annoying!

@@Raxxanterax The gimic is REAL, i literally hear people quote it on in-game chat, and then some laughing followed by "alright rax" 😆
Preordered D3 - haven’t played for 2 years. Only discovered today that you could tp to town mid gem upgrade.
Great guide. I'll add that sometimes near perfect quad gloves that roll a good secondary rez will be > than an augment ancient with less stat distribution. Season 28 will force a lot of non GR grinding though, some people may have to spend 20-50hr for herding, uber farming to try proc an ancient hellfire and with dbl bounty mats, stuff like bounties are definitely worth your time for rerolls and upgrade. Once everything is done, altar is done etc, then yeah full blast GR mode.
Started playing again after 5 seasons. TY FOR THE VIDS, IF NOT FOR THEM, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY
It turned into a motivational speech :D "town is lava" keeps me motivated 4ever now!
Town is Lava!
Fantastic video. Thanks for everything you do for the community!
This video isn’t about having fun! Best quote ever 😂
Town is Lava!
I dont nearly play as much as Rax. But when me and my buddies started the season we blasted with those rules. We didnt waste any time and spammed GRs like mad, always 3 in a row. If someone had to go afk, he left the party so that the others can blast along without interruption. I can tell you, cleaning 90s+ in under a minute is satisfiying af.
Everyone of us had the primals needed for the altar together quite fast. And even if the direct GR loot sucks anus for me, Kadala did give me a full ancient set in no time. The bloodshards did come from all the speeding of course.
On day 3 into this mad season we cleared our first 150 and made it to #28 in the 3 players EU leaderboard. Casual players who usually loose interest after 2 weeks of season. So yeah, Rax is absolutely right here.
Another thing you need to be aware of when playing with others is that you should drop all "but i wanna" mindsets. I for example am the worst player of my group of four. So i played support DH when we pushed. My cousin who is the best played Meteor cause its the most dificult job to dodge damage for keeping squirts up while timing diamond skin, potion and CoE correctly all while you need to aim at the right spot. Support usually is much easier. False pride and the wrong mindset with insisting on playing something someone else could do better hurts your efficiency immensely.
If being efficient isnt fun for you in this game, then you have to settle with far less. Because this game is made for people who have fun being efficient. When i first started doing seasons, all that rushing wasnt fun for me too but then i changed my mindset about it and it became one of my favourite games.
To farm the fastest T16 for keys is public hopping. I just queue T16 Public kill the Guardian and leave and join the next one if youre lucky the next one will be almost completed already, kill it and leave. repeat. you can farm 200 keys in 15 mins on a lucky basis.
Public games can be amazing especially early in a season
Awesome content as always!
Appreciate it!
I am registered legally blind, and I have less than 5% eyesight. I am never going to be able to speed farm with nearly the same kind of efficiency as everybody else. Last season, I got to my highest GR level, which was 99. This season, my only real goal is to push past 100. I have also never augmented my gear, I know exactly how to do it. but I generally only play the game for a month after the season begins. So I've never really played long enough to start augmenting. Someone will probably want to tell me that a month is more than enough time to begin augmenting. Which again, I am not as fast or as efficient as you are.
I highly doubt I will get to finish the altar, but I am definitely going to try. My goals for this season as simple. Clear a 100 GR, augment most, if not all of my items. And try to finish the altar.
I might not be as fast or efficient as everybody else. But I still appreciate all the videos you make, and all the tricks and tips that you have taught me. Even if I can't implement them all into my own gameplay. They are still fun videos to watch so thank you, Rax.
Just have to keep showing off those cosmic wings, SSOOOOOOOO jealous!!! Grats!
I have a picture of them on my fridge
Just want to say this was an awesome video, BUT the title is kinda misleading by making it sound like theirs a trick to getting more primals when there isnt. lol. just gotta farm farm and more farm. Also want to thank you for the website you showed in the video since I didnt know it existed and has been helping a ton. so thank you much on that. I personally like the spin to win barb, but having a hella bad time getting deaths breaths to reroll mighty weaps to legendaries.
Me as I watch this video
Wait a second HES LOGGED IN AND NOT DOING A GR
*shakes head*
I’ve always watched your videos and really appreciate the professionalism and passion you put in this game and video
Thank you for still making this kinda video!
We must cover everything!
I'd like to mention another 2 other hints that could add up on time efficiency. 1 - Stay at Tristram, the city is smaller and have a good layout for fast savagind/gambling/rift opening. and 2 - you don't need to identify the items as you can see by the shadow the item that is going to be revealed, store unID stuff that can be useful in your chest and savage the rest unID. Those 30 secs after a Nefalem can be used to ID the stored items. (also: click + enter to fast savaging)
Act II is also good IMHO.
@@juliasophical no, it looks the best i agree .. but the distance between armory and kadala is far to big to be efficient when gambling shards
Also the cube and the Pylon for rifts is too far apart
Bro, 10 hours ago I was literally watching the outdated guide XD
Keep up the amazing work man!
Will do! Town is Lava!
Po Polsku PL - Tak jest, zgadzam się w 100% procent, masz rację trzbea przyspieszyć grę, robić szybko gr i 3 razy w jednym ciągu jeden po drugim i dopiero potem się rozladować ze śmieci u kowala i przepalić krwawe odlamki u kadali i lecimy dalej to samo - jeżeli chodzi o głębokie szczeliny - bo odkrywanie pieczęci na ołtarzu to zupelnie inna sprawa. Także jeżeli chodzi o levleowanie to zgadzam się z Tobą w 100% Rax. Wymiatasz w tej grze:P ile razy ja skorzystałem juz z Twoich porad....i wiesz co to działa nie tylko ten filmik ale o wiele więcej Twoich filmów oglądałem i to sie sprawdza. Bez wchodzenia w dupe ...Rax jesteś Bogiem Diablo 3. Pozdrawiam kumatych i Ciebie. In ENGLISH USA - Yes, I agree 100% percent, you're right, you need to speed up the game, do gr and 3 times in a row, one after the other, and only then unload the garbage at the blacksmith and burn the bloody shards at kadala and we go on the same - for deep fissures - for uncovering the seals on the altar is another matter entirely. Also when it comes to leveling, I agree with you 100% Rax. You rock in this game: P how many times have I already used your advice .... and you know what works not only this video but many more of your videos I watched and it works. Without getting into the ass ... Rax you are the God of Diablo 3. Greetings to the dudes and you.
A GR90 is easily doable for any character once they have a full set, and ANY set at that. Even if you dont Augment the items it is still doable so long as the rest of your gear is correct. DH for example can clear a GR90 with the GOD set in under 3 mins with quite low Paragon. Once I can do that I generally just farm GR90 over and over until Im at least Paragon1000, then I start going higher but as Raxx said I stick to under 3 min runs at whatever max level I can do that in.
With all the buffs this season, especially things like pets collecting resources its going to be even quicker and easier. I have never managed to get beyond 2000Paragon in a single season as a casual player so hoping to bust that with ease this time.
The GR90 cap is new to me, thanks.
Raxx, i love your videos and really appreciate everything that you give to us.
But the comment you made about how dare we enjoy ourselves playing this game, PMSL
Town is Lava!
@Raxxanterax absolutely, and you described me to a 2 salvaging items and BS, I'm a waste 😜😁
True really good explain guide video helps me allot i did a gr and someone always salvage item or went to kadala after 1 gr finished so annoying just keep on moving 2-3gr then salvage 😊 hype
Very informative. Thank you. That said, I’d like to see your How to have fun vid & would hope it involved eating a tub of ice cream 😋
It would just be me eating a burrito from Chipotle
My wife doesn't play D3, but overheard when I watched this vid - said she'll now be shaking her head at me when I'm not doing GRs
Thank you Raxx :D
And great vid, thanks for making it :)
Make sure she keeps an eye on you this season!
For efficiency sake, I always level my paragon while doing other things. Like when I'm porting to town or when I'm identifying items when my inventory is full. Doesn't sound much, but when you're pumping out dozens of GR's in a row, it helps you save time and maintain tempo.
lol playing a video game is not about fun.... omg died laughing... and i come out with more legendaries in Neph rifts especially when i run em until i cant ( homing crystal end )... and gotten better gear and primals from em more than anywhere else... especially in T16 nephlem rifts... primals drop EVERYWHERE... gotten some from vaults... from the petrified scream keys... doing bounties... i had 10 drop on me this season and started a week after it started and only managed GR 100... primals are just RNG like ancients and legendaries... sure you get more XP but thats all you get different from GR's ... btw a tip for this season... get ANNOINTED after the first perk in the altar... then you can gear up any new character in all lvl 70 gear and power level yourself at T6
Just to make the "it's not about fun" and "you can have fun doing that and being efficient". "You" can do whatever you want, but get these hints and make them what you want. No one likes to have low movespeed, unable to do the same as the other season and shit.
Do these efficient hints, get a build going, them have fun. Or compete in the ladderboards if that's your fun. I'm on console, so ladderboard is just hackers anyway, I mean, just looking at them gave me aneurism, every item with +1000% damage and 3 sockets, clear time of 5 seconds to 40 seconds at GR150... Just have fun, after beeing efficient to be able to have fun.
Raxx: ...Port to town then go back to get the 100 Bloodshards you left. How many of you have done that? Wags his finger..."No"...
Me:
- Guilty 🖐
- Hangs head in shame.
- Subbed
thank you. that's motivating me to reach P1000 this time
You got this!
Hey Rax. Thank you for the great work you have done for the D3-community. You say that you get the max amount of items at G90 but does the quality of the items that drop increase with Glevel or is it only more XP?
Pretty sure stats are completely random. They won't get any better farther up If you ask me, but mine is a solid guess, not fact.
people are sleeping on pets picking mats up this season, I feel like the majority of my time in normal rifts was licking mats up 🤷♂️
Picking up stuff is Lava, praise the pets!
Imo you forgot one thing which is always use act 1 as your base since it's the place where you have the less travel to do between identifying items, kadala and opening greater rifts
Once again, a great guide! It's been a great journey with you over the last couple of years; your vids have given me a new lease on D3, and the tips and tricks have made it more fun as well. I'll miss the D3 vids (I plan on coming back on occasion after the D4 release, just for a break), but will be looking forward to D4 content, an all-new game system to conquer! Cheers my friend!
Unsure if you've corrected this within the last month or so. But if you're able to do GR 100 within that 3 minute frame that's where u get the most drops. The ammount of drops ull see basicly all the time is 12 maybe 11, at 90 you can get 10 sometimes. That's atleast what has been shown by others in regards to this
Fastest primals is just doing gr90’s as fast as you can and do as many as you can. Drops max out at 90 and the faster you do them the more drops you get the faster you get primals.
Yes. However, if you are strong enough to do GR100, GR110, 115, 120, whatever at a similar speed to GR90, then doing those higher GRs makes more sense, as you get more experience for Paragon levels and also at least slightly more Bloodshards to gamble for stuff at Kadala.
But Raxxx maybe I don't drink your favorite beverage!! That's maybe why I don't clear GR 90!!:)
Nice crystal clear video again! Thanks again for making those.
Cheers for the update
“It’s not about having fun, it’s about efficiency”
Love it 😂
Raxx is the 🐐 for this. I’ll be clearing my first 150 this season with 0 doubt. Ready for the grind. Coming back to this comment after it happens.🔥
How?
Nothing gets me hyped for a new season than Raxx videos. LFG!
Sometimes non-ancient gloves may be good. Something like 10/50/20AD/and main stat rolls to cdr.
This is true!
They are often my last pièces to augment with jewels
Kadala actually gave me primal Wraps of Clarity in 2 separate seasons...yes, it can happen!!
What a hero you are Raxx :), thanks a lot again for this superb explanation and demo! Enjoy the new (and maybe final) season of D3 !
I've heard that (and think that) this probably won't be the last season. It's just the biggest. They'll probably keep going and redo older season themes.
nice video and wonderfule explained.
i did all that except the augmenting thing, i'm gonna get on that right now. I was already doing level 80 Grifts in 2 minutes, so augmenting should make them go even faster and i'll bump to level 90. primal ancients here i come.
yo raxx just wanted to take the time to say thank you for this video. i tried doing things exactly as you said most especially the part where you recommended to do GR within 3 minutes and after my 4th GR i received my 2 primal. speed is indeed the key. thanks a bunch man!
congratz to the guy who got their cosmic wings during the recording
I fucking love your delivery man, the way you tell people what the fuck is up is lovely, atleast for me, In Diablo I'm more of a casual, started last season (got GR 141 in time) but I would still call myself diablo casual, when I hear friends playing diablo so much more than me and they crying GR 100 is impossible I wanna smeck them in head since they my friends, they just prefer to cry than ACTUALLY TRY
vendored like 4 lvl3 soul shards before being told you can use them for augment
I also find using act 2 town is the most efficient for rifting because there's less to click on and slow you down. Also I use immortal kings on barb for my seasonal set dungeon.... I can knock it out in 3 minutes with a whirlwind build while using bul kathos weapons with unlimited rage/mana
During this video, I did this week's challenge rift and 5 GR 100s. Efficiency.
Question: Does game difficulty effect drops? Right now im on T13 and running GR 90 in about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes. Should i be doing it at T16?
And thank you Raxx for all you do. Last season was our fist season and you made it so much easier and more enjoyable for my daughter and me. Sincerely, thank you. Cant wait for your Diablo 4 videos,
GR 90 has no effect based on the difficulty you loaded the game on. Can be on normal and GR 90 is still GR 90.
I don't know if this is normal but I get 1 primal drop every first GR I finish in Torment 13 or higher. It feels like less of a chore for me to get primals and most primals I receive aren't the one I am looking for or need for my class. So, for this season it shouldn't be a problem since I care less about them.
Season 27 had the most powerful character I've ever made (without cheating) and Season 28 looks to be even more so. Thanks Rax
Anyone else found 4 primals at once already? =)
thx for the guide. (speed) greater rifts are more boring then bounties and rifts. you only do that, if you hate your life. ^^ also the word must implicitates no fun.
Town is Lava!
"This is not about fun" 😂👊🏻 love you dude
This video reminds me of ‘Colonel 100’ in Battlefield friends 😂
Hi Raxx!! Really can’t thank you enough for your incredible videos, explanations and everything you do. It’s all absolutely phenomenal and ty!! Your website is truly amazing too, so easy to use and a so informative for every single player out there. Just thought I’d share and show my appreciation!! Thanks again. Baz 🎉
I think of it like the efficiency-to-fun ratio is real, but it has a time factor to consider; like more efficiency does mean less fun in the short term, but it also means more fun in the long term. When the game gets very slow & grindy and every GR feels like it was isometric Dark Souls, it’s not really the most fun to me; but being efficient about things means I gear up & get stronger faster such that the GR that used to be Dark Souls is now a speed run.
Hey, thank you very much for the guide.
I still have a question regarding item drops from grifts. While the number caps at GR 90 there are still blues and yellows dropping. If I go higher (100+) I almost never get them, does the chance decrease over time? Didn't really found that much on the topic and was wondering if theres a point where 12 legendarys are guaranteed.
There's always a few of them and they have chance to roll as legendary too, just getting lucky as far aw we know
None yellows or blues at GR 110 ; Anyway, at the begining, 90 is the key
Great video Rax.. juz one thing i do for early power boost is to work in the Guardian set.. big boost before p2000+
Good Tip! Town is Lava!
"It's not about fun, it's about efficiency." Lol love it.
Raxx wanna know your opinion on this: what do you do if your first primal is really good? Do you break it anyway to get the firs potion or continue farming hoping for the next one?
If the primal is good and usable I'd keep it and keep looking, especially if you're playing quite a bit. If you don't really play that much you probably should get those potion powers sooner than later since you may not find too many primals anyway. Most primals you find are just complete trash though so you really hope to use those to get the primordial ashes and not have to sacrifice usable primals that you find. So if that DOES happen on your first primal I'd probably just keep it.

@@Raxxanterax Thank you. Your channel is very helpful to me as a Casual
If you augment every item your character is wearing to 125 ( you can easily do with EN) you will gain 8125 main stat. if you augment to 150 it adds 9750. it's a lot of missing damage if you don't augment.
Does this applies to your secondary skills too?
@@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT It applies where your primary stat is used.
@@thefamilydogs3213 oh I see. Okay. Thanks!
Are you going to make a "How to have fun in season 28" video?
The "barely finished the rift" thing should be limited to the final push for leveling gems, and explicitly to unlock milestones such as your first primal. And you should only be doing it for leveling gems if you explicitly aren't or can't play in a group to easily manage 150s.
Exactly!
Actually just started a wizard for the first time last Friday night at 10pm. Completed first greater rift this am. I still don't know what I'm doing. Lol but having fun doing it.
A real question for anyone who can answer. Lvl 70 paragon 55, if I play adventure on torment 1 and go to the riff obelisk. Does the difficulty on riffs override the torment difficulty in adventure mode when in riff???
The Town may be Lava, but I have had many a wonderful conversation with Tyrael and Kadala standing in the fire...
Fire is Lava!
I'm a huge TR/Firebird fan myself. And I try my hardest to never do less than 9 GRs at a time. With 3 town stops. Trying to live by that rule. Because I have a problem of stopping in town for 1-2 minutes
Apply what Raxx says about Diablo 3 and gaining paragon levels in life and u be golden.
Thank u for the dedication!
Life is Lava! Get back into those greater rifts!
At what lvl would you lvl your gems to before augmenting?
Raxx you deserve all the views you get man, you're the first person I think of when it comes to Diablo. Love your channel. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
When trying to get your gear tweaked should you not be re-rolling it? You mention you shouldn't be doing bounties, is this after a certain paragon when you have already got your gear like you want it and are just farming paragon? Cause I've been rerolling squirts all season.
Generally you want to save resources and just try to naturally find really good gear. Once most of your gear is high quality and augmented you can then cherry pick the items that still suck and do more crafting/rerolling/bounties to target farm those items. Basically get the bulk just spamming Greater Rifts then fine tune using your resources and bounties.
Good video thx 👍🙏🏻

Great video as always, the only thing I wish I could do to gain some time is to salvage ancient items without looking at them. I don't know the items and builds well enough to know what to salvage, so I'm probably losing ~5% of time :(
When you assemble your farming build+pushing build at the same time, it's 26 items (+followers item at the beginning of the season), so that's a lot to remember!
keep at it dude, you'll salvage a few good ones before you learn some valuable lessons, we all do, dont worry
