Your like "you can farm using all this shitty gear!" Section felt like a personal attack. You basically had my character sheet up and were like "this is trash, but it'll work." Lol
@@Reefer90 Im in pretty crap gear, I can do everything up to hell act 4 but my damage is so low it doesn't seem worth it. So I farm NM and don't get anything better than what I already have.
This helped me understand economics and the way value actually works. Previously it bugged me because it seemed like in order for it to work, one party would have to always be less informed and make objectively wrong decisions, but it's all situational and subjective. Someone I work with recently bought a boat, complete with tow trailer, no mechanical issues, for $50. Apparently, it belonged to the father of the seller who had recently passed away, and the son wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Maybe he was bitter and resented how much time the dad spent with the boat vs the family, I really don't know. But there's no way he could have thought it was a "correct" value trade, it's just what he wanted.
Mr Llama, glad to see those views stacked up on every recent video. You never stopped making vids on D2 and all the new people are flooding in. Congrats man.
I have to say you are the OG 🐐 when it comes to D2 content. I've been seeing a bunch of posers popping up lately but I know who has been with us from the beginning. 😘
Happy to see you thriving in D2R Sadly my computer is so bad it can't run it. Been watching your speedruns probably since like 2015 or something when I would have a random D2 Kick.
@@redpatcher It's more than just that tbh, I appreciate it. It's an old build I bought back in 2013-2014 and by those standards it was already a bit dated.
I bought a $12 (shipped) video card off of eBay-- just some very low end DirectX 12 Radeon--and I can play Resurrected just fine in original graphics mode. (Playing with people playing the remake with new graphics.)
Love how you hit us with the life money spec first off. Editing to say that you were knowledgeable enough not onlyt to save your money, but to quit just a few months before the D2R release and leverage your knowlege to essentially stack your second career. I'm not missing the fact that you've released an insane amount of videos in the past month. Well played sir....well played.
I am impressed how well this game has held up and thanks for Blizzard for getting this remaster right and I hope they are taking notes for the next game ;) Thats half the fun of the game the player economy. EDIT but we try that auction house and yea that sucked. Maybe better idea is a place to trading hub...in diablo 4
Thank you very much for the video but imo it's just for early Hell grind. I'm at the point that I'v allready done that and get my decent stuff for farm, price are allready way more lower and runes i need are Lo+. How can you manage this period? Do the same or have to adapt? ( more Multi, LK way more etc ) Curious to get advice on this!
I love your long-winded explanation of supply and demand of things during competitive seasons of games. As an MTG player who played Standard for way too long, I can relate.
No wonder it all feels so familiar! I never played bnet back in the day but the whole econ system felt weirdly relatable and normal to me. Blame MTG. I'm still salty they reprinted scalding tarn before I got around to selling mine. Now I'll just never sell it out of annoyance lol
I want to add that Lost City in Hell mode is also level 77 area, but there's so many unique mini bosses and champions around, including Dark Wanderer. I've gotten Puls from Urns and got HoZ and several other decent stuff in Lost City. Worth doing for cold sorc that didn't off-spec much. Only cold immunes are the 4-armed sand warriors.
Nice for runs is also Flayer Jungle with the highest chance for dropping grand charm skillers, and a good chance for other stuff, as you kill tons of flayers in minutes.
What would a good place be for a cold sorc lvl 90+ with a cold sunder bliz farm? Trav seems good since I have a rising sun ammy and dwarf star to absorb fire
Mr Llama, could you do a more in depth guide on ladder progression? I watched your stream since Thursday looking at your character, but then I saw this video today and you have these crazy runes and a hoto and a torch and key sets… this is where I have a big gap in my knowledge of how to progress, and I suspect many others do also. It seems intuitive to you but I cannot crack the code on how to even get to hoto or enigma. If you did like a vlog on this it would be very interesting Particularly, I mean how do you decide when to do what, when, and where? How do you put these pieces together for successful ladder progression? That’s what I mean
well for one - he has or had an 8 man team that pushed str8 to torches etc. having a group makes it wayyyyyyyyyyy easier to progress, as lnog as said people are on the same page.
Llama has items from 20 years of playing SP. He ported over his single player saves, and I believe that's what we are seeing in the video. Edit: Looks like this is online. If that's the case, then Llama either traded for items or farmed a lot for his items. He's excellent at farming very quickly, and like the comment above said he's already finished Ubers with a team. For honest tips on how to progress, you're looking at moving from "beginner" or "progression" builds to end game builds. Get through normal and nightmare. Make sure you can get through hell and into the 80s (character level). This can be as simple as running a fire paladin (beginner build) and then respeccing to hammerdin (endgame build). You can look up builds for both online. Your number one goal is to get through hell content and into the real endgame, and then you start magic finding (MFing). Llama talks about MFing in this video here. If you're playing single player, then you just MF until you're satisfied lol. If you're playing MP, then you farm, trade, run Ubers, trade, etc. You keep finding better items and trading upwards. Run countess for runes, run farming areas for MF. Don't run Countess for runes with a MF build. The rest is time, luck, and effort. Hope this helps.
@@xzentix not necesarily well i mean ye will be a bit slower but pushing and doing ubers is not hard in the original game especially on softcore its not hard to do
Mr. Llama, I found a 5/5 die light facet. Can I get one or more HRs for it at this time you think? Or should I just trade it for my shako I want right now? Please advise thx!!
Those spawns are tied to your map seed and on single player this can be avoided since maps don’t reset but online you either have to deal with them or abandon the game. If you and your merc are strong enough you don’t even have to moat trick anymore and can just let your nerd facetank morph while you take him out on his side of the moat.
When you do this, do you just start your own games, and essentially do this on players 1? Or do you join a game in progress that's about the player count you want? Or is there etiquette around it?
What’s the best trade website. Issue is new and returning players (especially who didn’t trade) have 0 Idea what’s worth what plus finding each other (buyer & seller) is a nightmare
this is why I play HC, stuff like shako storm have high value through entire ladder, and if u dont die you can allways get HR for lets say items you can find in NM mode
I way I would like to see certain runes be more usable and have more crafting while changing up meta rune words is to create a craft recipe that includes said under used runes where it will add a specific modifier to any non rune word. Example a recipe with a Cham rune will craft x-xx fcr to an item and leave all the other stats in place. Once an item has been crafted it can't be crafted again.
thank you for the videos! great source of info sir can you tell me how you are killing cold immunes on this build? i know theres different ways just curious
3 questions: 1) Since we can't do /players 3, etc, on bnet, is it better to do solo mephisto or kurast runs? Or is there a strategy to use like looking for players 2 games? I don't want to jack up someone else's game by killing meph just to hit p3. Or are most MF activities done in p1 on bnet? 2) What element is least resisted in Lower Kurast? 3) What are some places, if any, that fire-damage characters can run that are TC85?
So the trading section of the video is very nice but, there is literally no need to play ladder anymore at ALL (all ladder only runewords have been unlocked for single player and non-ladder and you can even run DClone and Uber Trists) unless you want your name to show up at the top of a list to confirm you have too much time to spare in a 20 year old game. Cheers!!
Lem or Pul for a bow that is worth some Pgems? Also there are not many amazons since everyone is probably playing sorc and pally Aside of that, it all comes down to farming efficiency and/or tradding skills
i understand that you teleport around at the speed of light, but if you show items or use abbreviations, please show them a tad longer and say or display in the video (longer than 0,2sec) what those abbreviations mean. this is something that i see in all of the vids you make for new players or returning ones now. i am thankful you make them tho.
I played the demo of D2 in 2000, the game was locked at Cold Plains with no content after that. Then around 2005 I played LoD but more seriously, farming in bnet, dueling, trading etc. Now I'm 31 and I'm afraid to get hooked up again 😅 I think most D2R players are around 30 to 35 yrs old.
One of my favorite d2 memories from back in the day was finessing trades. I'd identify 2 similar value items where 1 would tend to sell for slightly more than the other, but people would be happy to trade them for each other rather than for currency. I'd trade the lower item for the slightly higher item directly, then trade it for currency. Buy the lower value one for currency, and repeat, making a profit each time and amassing a fortune.
@@ButtplugClock you find two items whose price generally overlap. Then you find someone that desperately wants a thing slightly lower in value. If they really want it, theyll trade. Then you basically just hold onto it until someone will give you the high end of what its worth. Then repeat.
A piece of advice that would have been future-secure would have been: "Here's how to not lose gear due to roll backs if you're still in the game and the servers decide to take a shit"
A very very very useful video, thanks! One note tho - some of the places that you say only take a couple of seconds to go to - for sorc maybe yes. For hammerdin for example is a pain in the ass to farm meph before u get a decent gear. Also a lot of places that are small like buildings, caves etc are really annoying to farm due to the fact that the damn hammers just bug their ass out. Cheers mate!
This is honestly the main reason most people start their ladder with a sorceress. Because their mobility is just so unbelievably good compared to any class until you can work up to Jah + Ber. Hammerdin is a great second class to farm for everything beyond Enigma but until you have it it's just so much better to be a sorc.
If you wanna get rich, make a frozen orb sorc first, trade for tal rashas full set...farm hell mephisto forever and run baal runs until you can't stand it. You will have tons of valuable gear in a month of playing, you can get away with a lot on a Forb sorc without optimal gear, its powerful and agile and can kill things easily. Back in the day I always ended up with everything i wanted by the end by always doing this first, then using her to feed other classes I wanted to play. Nothing else is more efficient or as self reliant as playing a sorc first. Everything else is simply not as fast because it will require enigma which is a hard gear check for first toon and that also limits your speed for farming. in ladder or non ladder, the longer the game goes on for, more people get good gear including enigmas which brings down the price. if you can't get it in the beginning you probably can later a month or two into the game/season. never understimate what people will want vs what they will trade for. often times you can come out on top when 1 person only wants 1 thing and is willing to make a bad trade over it.
How do you join groups of people or public lobbies on console? I used to play on computer way back in the day and I kinda remember being able to join lobbies you could even pvp in
I love how he says here is how to get rich and then instantly talks about ubers. If you are running ubers... you are rich... real question is how the heck do you mf in nm and normal to actually get some get to do hell runs. That would be a more informative video.
Same concept, you can farm NM Andy, NM Meph, SOJ can drop from NM Andy. All it comes down to is lvl a sorc to 40-60, get some MF, and always be killing something. Trade up to whatever you need
he shows his equipment which is pretty much just a bunch of few socket items and low level runes that you get by the act 5 quest and a few countess runs on normal and nightmare. that build works well enough to carry you through hell and while you are there you constantly find some new stuff to upgrade like more fcr or a few magic find items to make bosskills more profitable. for a sorceress the runewords you are trying to assemble early are stealth -> lore -> ancients pledge -> spirit and insight for your merc. gl hf and teleport properly
My first char on d2r was a sorc, and I soloed the entire way to hell baal and was able to farm hell as soon as I got there with like 130 MF. Not super crazy efficient, or max MF or anything, but its a start. Gotten some okay drops so far. Its the same concept in any act really. Put on MF gear, rush to your target, kill, repeat until you get something of substance. It honestly is just a time = reward thing.
Great video 👍 I think the depth of this game can really be under appreciated especially what seasoned players actively do at end game as warrior traders😁. Too add to a little bit for newer players, if the run areas like pit and countess are close enough, don't tp, just walk from Tamoe to Blackmarsh. Rng sometimes puts a nice reward literally under a rock for you 👍
If you're quick enough you can TP around and open chests/rocks etc with telekinesis without losing much downtime :P I always stop to kill champions/uniques/super-uniques too
Each of the cow difficulties has their own value because they can drop certain items. Normal cows can be good cause they drop appropriate white items that can provide the exact amount of sockets from Larzuk for a runeword
@MrLlamaSC can you make a video about the etiquette of picking up items in public d2 room? As a new player i have no idea how this community has been dealing with it throughout the years.
idk uf u actually reply to comments, but if I can do chaos quickly, it's better to do runs of everything (eldrich, pinddle, chaos, trav, meph, andy, pits, and maybe countess) or just keep doing constant chaos since it's 85 and can drop anything?
I really like how you posted shitloads of videos for everything on D2R right after the release :D :D pretty nice, sence I've watched all the things I need from your videos ...
I found a pretty close perfect eth titans early ladder 1 season and kept it for a few weeks then traded it for 6 bers (lol) and made a javazon pretty quickly with infinity, enigma etc farmed cows and luckily made a 6 6 4 cta and made a further 6 ber, got griffons eye and just murdered hell baal runs all without an eth titans just a standard 1. Moral of the story (as mrllama said) keep those juicy items for later trading and you'll just snowball
@@berkinguvenc318 I got the titans early on in the season and saved it for later (like 3-4 weeks or so) I wouldnt say about 2 months is early ladder...
nice i found Ko rune traded it for 10 jah then traded 1 jah for 9 ber, then came on youtube and made up a bunch of Poop like your post because i know nothing about d2 but want attention and to look like a idiot because anyone that plays d2 knows im full of sh1t
Man, you managed to show basically all Diablo 2 game for 30 min. : ) edit: at 22:06 you literally describe the things on the Bulgarian flag - White/Green/Red :) +++
What are the best areas to farm if you have no mf? Cows for runes and bases? I have summonmancer, no problems with any area apart from the fact that he is slow with no enigma yet.
I remember beating the game in normal and then quiting because I didn't know the higher difficulty had better items lol I thought it was just a harder version. So I was like ya I beat the game , next game.
Lower kurast runs are really only profitable when you are able to manipulate the player count. If you're playing on battle net and doing solo you chances at runes are extremely low in general especially getting rares or anything else out of the LK runs. Same thing with MF farming hell andy and meph on p1 you often encounter the no drop unless you have people running with you.
Are 40 Perfect Gems worth anything? Also if a monster drops a regular item i.e. Mesh Belt, does that mean they can drop Tal's belt? And then for Cows if I'm more concerned with gear drops do I just farm the King and skip the rest?
Anything that can drop a mesh belt can drop Tal's belt, since the way the game calculates item drops is by deciding the base first, and then rolling whether that base is unique/set/rare/magic etc.
So if you enter an area, kill the boss/enemies, and then want to reenter for another run at loot do you need to make a new lobby, or just teleport somewhere?
NGL, when you started with the 401k statement there was a part of me hoping that you spent the whole 28 mins trolling by explaining real life examples of how to make long term investment plans 😂
When does the RNG take affect on the item drops? Does the entire game spawn when you enter or does each dungeon roll when you go in? Basically, is it beneficial to do every area from a1 to a5, from countess all the way to baal runs including all the pits and tunnels and pindle and chaos etc... or is it smarter to just pick one or two areas and go from game to game faster? I ask because I did chaos meph pindle and countess yesterday, then instead of doing a new game I said "fuck it let's hit baal", then found a tals armor. If I skip areas that means I could be missing good drops right?
Item drops are determined when a monster is killed (or chest opened, etc). Clearing a whole game isn't more efficient than just running one area. Running a few specific areas tends to be more efficient if you are targeting high monster level areas/bosses because some zone just have a lot of monsters with poor drop rates (vultures and swarms for example), or they are difficult to get to or clear for specific characters (Baal, Chaos, etc). But, to be specific, there is no added benefit to running all the high value MF zones in a single game, or across many games; there is nothing tracking the number or types of monsters you kill for such a reason.
@@ofdiscord gotcha, so on kill. Well my chaos and baals are relatively quick, so I find it more efficient to go from pits/countess/andy to tunnels/summoner, to meph/lower kurast, to chaos, to pindle/nihl/baal without having to leave and start a new game every dungeon or two

What’s the best trade website. Issue is new and returning players (especially who didn’t trade) have 0 Idea what’s worth what plus finding each other (buyer & seller) is a nightmare
There's a D2R Discord that is pretty active right now
D2jsp
Well right now trading is going to be unstable regardless, because everyone is back to square one.
jsp
this is why I play HC, stuff like shako storm have high value through entire ladder, and if u dont die you can allways get HR for lets say items you can find in NM mode
Any way to know if cow king can be killed repetitively over and over again on console?
What a great video. Thanks Mr. Llama!
I way I would like to see certain runes be more usable and have more crafting while changing up meta rune words is to create a craft recipe that includes said under used runes where it will add a specific modifier to any non rune word. Example a recipe with a Cham rune will craft x-xx fcr to an item and leave all the other stats in place. Once an item has been crafted it can't be crafted again.
Is there a great place to trade for d2r beside lobby? Lobby always has been a pain in ...
@@TVans-vs3gn Me too

thank you for the videos! great source of info
sir can you tell me how you are killing cold immunes on this build? i know theres different ways just curious
cold mastery talent. doesnt work in higher acts of hell. i believe beyond act 3 they are like, FULL immune
3 questions:
1) Since we can't do /players 3, etc, on bnet, is it better to do solo mephisto or kurast runs? Or is there a strategy to use like looking for players 2 games? I don't want to jack up someone else's game by killing meph just to hit p3. Or are most MF activities done in p1 on bnet?
2) What element is least resisted in Lower Kurast?
3) What are some places, if any, that fire-damage characters can run that are TC85?
is it a myth? i thought you could socket the leg to affect the cow level as well?
No socketing does nothing. I even picked an 2OS Leg once.
@@christse3467 i have a 2OS leg in my stash right now, are they rare, ill trade you for a shako
There is no cow level
@@paddington1670 Nah don't do that you can always pick up in new game.
So the trading section of the video is very nice but, there is literally no need to play ladder anymore at ALL (all ladder only runewords have been unlocked for single player and non-ladder and you can even run DClone and Uber Trists) unless you want your name to show up at the top of a list to confirm you have too much time to spare in a 20 year old game. Cheers!!
People play ladder for the economy reset.
Lem or Pul for a bow that is worth some Pgems? Also there are not many amazons since everyone is probably playing sorc and pally
Aside of that, it all comes down to farming efficiency and/or tradding skills
Loved this. I'm probably not going to trade (since I hate people) just self find stuff but knowing the farming locations is really helpful
i understand that you teleport around at the speed of light, but if you show items or use abbreviations, please show them a tad longer and say or display in the video (longer than 0,2sec) what those abbreviations mean. this is something that i see in all of the vids you make for new players or returning ones now. i am thankful you make them tho.
Which ones are you confused about
@@kennykwong1028 I think he means just in general
Hit that Pause-Button
it's weird playing this d2 resurrected now. Reminds me of when I played like 18 years ago
No shit !
No way, I don't believe you. How does it remind you of playing 18 years ago!??
Same here I played around 19 years ago my self
I played the demo of D2 in 2000, the game was locked at Cold Plains with no content after that. Then around 2005 I played LoD but more seriously, farming in bnet, dueling, trading etc. Now I'm 31 and I'm afraid to get hooked up again 😅
I think most D2R players are around 30 to 35 yrs old.
@@vhyles Come farm andariel with me bae
Love this game. Always have...20 years later
This is amazing thanks Llama!! Does killing the Cow King still end your ability to make the level?
Nope
One of my favorite d2 memories from back in the day was finessing trades. I'd identify 2 similar value items where 1 would tend to sell for slightly more than the other, but people would be happy to trade them for each other rather than for currency.
I'd trade the lower item for the slightly higher item directly, then trade it for currency. Buy the lower value one for currency, and repeat, making a profit each time and amassing a fortune.
what currency did you trade for?
@@ogre6548 High runes
@@ogre6548 now it would be with runes, back then pre 1.10 sojs were the currency of the economy on battlenet.
Can you give an example of two similar items that you used to do this with? Trying to understand what you were doing
@@ButtplugClock you find two items whose price generally overlap. Then you find someone that desperately wants a thing slightly lower in value. If they really want it, theyll trade.
Then you basically just hold onto it until someone will give you the high end of what its worth.
Then repeat.
I wish my college econ professor taught his class using D2 as a framework. makes so much sense!
Had the same in mind :D change Diablo stuff vs. stocks :D
thxx as a return player this really helped a lot :)
lmfao...the chart graph is off the charts!!! lmfao made my day mr.lama :)
If you talk to gheed in a1 he will say his name; that way you can remember to say it correctly.
@J Hs lol ya you're not whining
Cool hawip! 👍🏻🤣
A piece of advice that would have been future-secure would have been:
"Here's how to not lose gear due to roll backs if you're still in the game and the servers decide to take a shit"
How can we lose gear if we can't even play?
At what lvl should i reset my hammerdin and make a smiter if i now choose to do so?
How did you go straight the Cat3&4 and Durance 3?!! Insane luck or is there a trick like Nilithak(not sure how to spell that)??
A very very very useful video, thanks!
One note tho - some of the places that you say only take a couple of seconds to go to - for sorc maybe yes. For hammerdin for example is a pain in the ass to farm meph before u get a decent gear. Also a lot of places that are small like buildings, caves etc are really annoying to farm due to the fact that the damn hammers just bug their ass out.
Cheers mate!
This is honestly the main reason most people start their ladder with a sorceress. Because their mobility is just so unbelievably good compared to any class until you can work up to Jah + Ber. Hammerdin is a great second class to farm for everything beyond Enigma but until you have it it's just so much better to be a sorc.
If you wanna get rich, make a frozen orb sorc first, trade for tal rashas full set...farm hell mephisto forever and run baal runs until
you can't stand it. You will have tons of valuable gear in a month of playing, you can get away with a lot on a Forb sorc without optimal gear, its powerful and agile and can kill things easily. Back in the day I always ended up with everything i wanted by the end by always doing this first, then using her to feed other classes I wanted to play. Nothing else is more efficient or as self reliant as playing a sorc first. Everything else is simply not as fast because it will require enigma which is a hard gear check for first toon and that also limits your speed for farming. in ladder or non ladder, the longer the game goes on for, more people get good gear including enigmas which brings down the price. if you can't get it in the beginning you probably can later a month or two into the game/season. never understimate what people will want vs what they will trade for. often times you can come out on top when 1 person only wants 1 thing and is willing to make a bad trade over it.
Hey Mr Llama can you tell me if Pindle got nerfed recently or not? I think he isnt what he was used to be anymore. Greetings
How do you join groups of people or public lobbies on console? I used to play on computer way back in the day and I kinda remember being able to join lobbies you could even pvp in
I love how he says here is how to get rich and then instantly talks about ubers. If you are running ubers... you are rich... real question is how the heck do you mf in nm and normal to actually get some get to do hell runs. That would be a more informative video.
Same concept, you can farm NM Andy, NM Meph, SOJ can drop from NM Andy. All it comes down to is lvl a sorc to 40-60, get some MF, and always be killing something. Trade up to whatever you need
he shows his equipment which is pretty much just a bunch of few socket items and low level runes that you get by the act 5 quest and a few countess runs on normal and nightmare. that build works well enough to carry you through hell and while you are there you constantly find some new stuff to upgrade like more fcr or a few magic find items to make bosskills more profitable. for a sorceress the runewords you are trying to assemble early are stealth -> lore -> ancients pledge -> spirit and insight for your merc. gl hf and teleport properly
You can literally do uber bosses with a level 20 paladin wearing dogshit gear. You don't need to be rich, you need to know how to play the game
My first char on d2r was a sorc, and I soloed the entire way to hell baal and was able to farm hell as soon as I got there with like 130 MF. Not super crazy efficient, or max MF or anything, but its a start. Gotten some okay drops so far. Its the same concept in any act really. Put on MF gear, rush to your target, kill, repeat until you get something of substance.
It honestly is just a time = reward thing.
Great video 👍 I think the depth of this game can really be under appreciated especially what seasoned players actively do at end game as warrior traders😁. Too add to a little bit for newer players, if the run areas like pit and countess are close enough, don't tp, just walk from Tamoe to Blackmarsh. Rng sometimes puts a nice reward literally under a rock for you 👍
If you're quick enough you can TP around and open chests/rocks etc with telekinesis without losing much downtime :P I always stop to kill champions/uniques/super-uniques too
Are there any sets worth wearing? What level difficulty should I start doing cows? In normal or don't bother? Great video.
Each of the cow difficulties has their own value because they can drop certain items. Normal cows can be good cause they drop appropriate white items that can provide the exact amount of sockets from Larzuk for a runeword
Normal Cow for crystal sword and larzuk it for spirit sword, Hell Cow for Monarch for Spirit Shield
How / where do you trade with people in d2? Do you just create a room name with the offer? Is there a chat full of trade offers?
Wait we can make Ladder RW in NL now??
Yes we can
@MrLlamaSC can you make a video about the etiquette of picking up items in public d2 room? As a new player i have no idea how this community has been dealing with it throughout the years.
click fast
@@minhuang8848 😂
Lol there is no etiquette first to click it wins haha
Have to train those ninja skills young grasshopper... :)
small hint: use a decent equipped act 2 merc if you farm with blizz and a lot of stuff gets easier (cow, andariel, mephisto etc.)
idk uf u actually reply to comments, but if I can do chaos quickly, it's better to do runs of everything (eldrich, pinddle, chaos, trav, meph, andy, pits, and maybe countess) or just keep doing constant chaos since it's 85 and can drop anything?
I really like how you posted shitloads of videos for everything on D2R right after the release :D :D pretty nice, sence I've watched all the things I need from your videos ...
smart for business too. hype = money
I found a pretty close perfect eth titans early ladder 1 season and kept it for a few weeks then traded it for 6 bers (lol) and made a javazon pretty quickly with infinity, enigma etc farmed cows and luckily made a 6 6 4 cta and made a further 6 ber, got griffons eye and just murdered hell baal runs all without an eth titans just a standard 1. Moral of the story (as mrllama said) keep those juicy items for later trading and you'll just snowball
6 bers early season means you got duped runes...
@@berkinguvenc318 I got the titans early on in the season and saved it for later (like 3-4 weeks or so) I wouldnt say about 2 months is early ladder...
Ladder ain't even out yet.
nice i found Ko rune traded it for 10 jah then traded 1 jah for 9 ber, then came on youtube and made up a bunch of Poop like your post because i know nothing about d2 but want attention and to look like a idiot because anyone that plays d2 knows im full of sh1t
Are you talking about the original diablo 2 og ladder season 1? Ladder for diablo 2 resurrected isn't even out yet.
as a smiter paladin, how do you break through to doing that first ubers kill though?
Hell cows - are the chances of high runes ok there? Is it considered an 85 zone like the pits?
Man, you managed to show basically all Diablo 2 game for 30 min.
: )
edit: at 22:06 you literally describe the things on the Bulgarian flag - White/Green/Red :) +++
Dropped occy at meph counsil and shako from stash in cats lvl2 , pop your popables guys!
Where did u get these rune pillows? In the background?
damn, what an in-depth video. deserving of such a high view count from the clickbaity title :D
As a financial planner, I love that you started with 401(k) and IRA advice!!! Haha. Love the content, man. Keep it up.
But legit those 1st two ideas on how to get rich are good ones to help people financially lol
Make irl money. Pay for the items. Like D3 AH.
Generally curious is it against the tos for diablo 2 to buy charms etc off eBay ?
What are the best areas to farm if you have no mf? Cows for runes and bases? I have summonmancer, no problems with any area apart from the fact that he is slow with no enigma yet.
me sitting here with a level 25 character thinking im making mad money :O
I have dropped 2 set and 2 unique items. Almost at an Enigma already! :D
Friend of mine sells all Magic items, because gold is important. Had to tell him to stop, after I stopped laughing..
I remember beating the game in normal and then quiting because I didn't know the higher difficulty had better items lol I thought it was just a harder version.
So I was like ya I beat the game , next game.
sure it has better items, but it's all still basically the same
Is it always better to just farm alone in MP, or would it be more efficient to jump into games with a few of players to multiply the drop chances... ?
If you are strong enough then go where others are and farm those games
Happy Birthday ?! Haha Just found your channel and My Bday was the 24th Woot woot , lets goo video !!! Glad i found your channel, i need BANK! LOL
Lower kurast runs are really only profitable when you are able to manipulate the player count. If you're playing on battle net and doing solo you chances at runes are extremely low in general especially getting rares or anything else out of the LK runs. Same thing with MF farming hell andy and meph on p1 you often encounter the no drop unless you have people running with you.
How to get rich : Play with a party of 8
Wow. 8 likes
Are 40 Perfect Gems worth anything? Also if a monster drops a regular item i.e. Mesh Belt, does that mean they can drop Tal's belt? And then for Cows if I'm more concerned with gear drops do I just farm the King and skip the rest?
Anything that can drop a mesh belt can drop Tal's belt, since the way the game calculates item drops is by deciding the base first, and then rolling whether that base is unique/set/rare/magic etc.
@@Arcian Ahh, thank you.
Yo mr lama god. Any idea what a 12% cold sky nightwings is worth? Love your content my man.
GUIDE How to play the game:
- Just watch some TH-cam and don't play the game.
Step 1 be able to play the game and not be locked out cuz character is already in game.
Bro, I have a 7 week old baby. Talk about not a baby friendly game lol. Gaming during naps and bed time.
Lol true
Dude you are hilarious. Glad I randomly clicked on your video about Ubers.
So if you enter an area, kill the boss/enemies, and then want to reenter for another run at loot do you need to make a new lobby, or just teleport somewhere?
leave the game and start a new one.
First step to getting rich: Be able to join games to actually play the game
Yeah its rough atm especially with map bug
NGL, when you started with the 401k statement there was a part of me hoping that you spent the whole 28 mins trolling by explaining real life examples of how to make long term investment plans 😂
I've got a couple financial advice videos up on my yt :)
Does magic find count if your summons kill something?
When does the RNG take affect on the item drops? Does the entire game spawn when you enter or does each dungeon roll when you go in?
Basically, is it beneficial to do every area from a1 to a5, from countess all the way to baal runs including all the pits and tunnels and pindle and chaos etc... or is it smarter to just pick one or two areas and go from game to game faster?
I ask because I did chaos meph pindle and countess yesterday, then instead of doing a new game I said "fuck it let's hit baal", then found a tals armor.
If I skip areas that means I could be missing good drops right?
Item drops are determined when a monster is killed (or chest opened, etc).
Clearing a whole game isn't more efficient than just running one area. Running a few specific areas tends to be more efficient if you are targeting high monster level areas/bosses because some zone just have a lot of monsters with poor drop rates (vultures and swarms for example), or they are difficult to get to or clear for specific characters (Baal, Chaos, etc). But, to be specific, there is no added benefit to running all the high value MF zones in a single game, or across many games; there is nothing tracking the number or types of monsters you kill for such a reason.
@@ofdiscord gotcha, so on kill. Well my chaos and baals are relatively quick, so I find it more efficient to go from pits/countess/andy to tunnels/summoner, to meph/lower kurast, to chaos, to pindle/nihl/baal without having to leave and start a new game every dungeon or two
step 1: be a streamer.
step 2: accept all free stuff from watchers
step 3: profit
How to to take any fun or enjoyment out of the game 101
What do you mean?
Lmao
Where do you publish the stuff that you find for sale?
So what is a good d2r trade discord that people actually use instead of 2 or 3 people?
