Beyond Infinity... To the Item Find Thread

In preparation for MFO, I needed some Annis and Torches to work with.

I forwarded 2 Sojs from 1.14 and took my smiter to Frigid Highlands. The first Anni rolled 13/13/10, which is on the low side, but the second Anni rolled 18/20/5! Great stats/res on the second Anni, but the first Anni is still useful if I wanted to prioritize experience instead.

My goal with the torches was to at least obtain a Barb torch for my MF Barb. I initially farmed 36 key sets, allowing me to run 12 straight sets of Ubers. Torches rolled:
20/18 Sorceress
11/10 Paladin
16/15 Sorceress
18/11 Sorceress
16/15 Amazon
10/16 Sorceress
18/18 Druid
15/17 Assassin
13/18 Paladin
15/18 Paladin
17/19 Assassin
13/18 Assassin

First torch was excellent, and a couple of good ones after. Disappointed with the lack of Barb, but I continued to farm more keys. This time I ran the Ubers one at a time as soon as I had 3 key sets.
Remaining rolls:
18/17 Assassin
11/14 Amazon
16/14 Necromancer
14/18 Paladin
12/11 Paladin
13/14 Sorceress
20/20 Assassin
15/15 Barbarian

Finally got the Barb torch I was looking for, and of course it took 20 attempts and turned out to be the last class to appear.. But I'll take a 20/20 Assassin torch as a bonus!
 
Nice! What was your experience key farming? I happened to have about a dozen Countess keys since I just kept some from rune runs, but it feels like Nihlathak and the Summoner are much stingier with the key drops. It feels like it would take months to accumulate 15+ key sets.

I ran on p7 to maximize key drop chances, as Trim showed in the table. Countess takes the longest to reach, and has the worst drop chances, so Terror Keys should take the most time. I didn't time any runs, but If I had to guess, I was spending around an hour per torch towards the end. If I ever get back around to farming better torches, I would definitely search for better Tower Cellar maps.
 
Im torn between wanting to socket this in my Occy, and wanting to hold out for better resist all. Im playing patch 1.09d so its not like I can just Hel it out if I ever find a better one lol
