Well im not exactly sure but im pretty sure that Pindle drops the same as Mephy plus more. :scratch:

If im correct that is, this is just from experiences but i know for a fact u have btr chance of killing Pindy and coming out alive than with Mephy plus fact Pindy is faster killing so all in all stick with Pindy runz!!! :wave:

Pindle will usually only drop 1 item, or a few potions, or some gold.

Mephi will usually drop 3-6 Items
Plus his council guards will usually drop 5-10 item between them.

Therefore if you do 1x pindle run then you will likely just get 1 item.

If you do 1x Mephi run then you will get about 4-7 semi useful to useful items. (small charms with decent mods, flawless gems, full rejuv potions, maybe useful exceptional , elite, or normal gear.

However,
Mephi is restricted to Weapon and Armor 78.
Pindle can drop Weapon and Armor 81/84/87

A sorc, or any other teleport character can probably do Mephi in 5 minutes, a character without teleport may take 15 minutes.

Pindle can be done in a minute flat, however if you make 5 games in 5 minute u will likely get kicked off battlenet with a realm down.

Therefore, on average you could probably do 5 pindle runs to 1 mephi run

5 items with possible higher levels Vs 4-7 items with slightly lower levels.

In conclusion it comes back to personal preference - if you dont have teleport do pindle , but do Shenk as well, just so u stay in the game for a couple of minutes.

If you have teleport do both pindle and Mephi.

With MF, the main thing to note is that it can be boring, and is very grinding, so break it up and do a variety of Level 85 areas to keep it fun.

do u do MF runs by yourself?

I would reccomed MFing in 5-8 player games, get much nicer drops.

I find all three are good.

Andy - Best for rings, ammy's , Tals Orb stuff like that.
Mephi - Good all rounder - lots of drops, but not from top of line TC tables
Pindle - small drops, but potential for best gear.

I've never found anything useful from Pindel. Mephi has gotten me everything from Gheed's and Facets to Doombringer, Kira's Guardian and the Demon Limb...

Congrats on your 400th post Pitboss


Agree, I tend to prefer doing Mephi as well, it only takes another minute to kill Pindle...

I tend to agree, I havent found many quality items from old Pindle, but I have heard that others have, I think you really have to sit down and pump out 100-200 runs non stop, with Shenk and Eldrich thrown in to really get something decent.

If i have to chose one of them i´d take Meph, couse he drops more things so its a higher chance to get some usefull items from him even if he doesn´t drop higher then TC78 he can still give rather nice stuff, and the armor rack to the left has a nice drop chance anyway...

Seriously there is no real reason not to take them both if you can, Pindel takes what? 20-60 sec. just in case he drops something nice.
And then off to kill Meph.

A sorc, or any other teleport character can probably do Mephi in 5 minutes, a character without teleport may take 15 minutes.

I estimate a Meph game to take in general 2-3 minutes with my sorc.

If I have a lucky map spawn and nothign to id or sell from previous run I do it in under a minute (I know because I make the game with the same name all the time, and if you try to make a new game in under one minute from the previous was created bnet will say it allready exists, even if no one is in there. Excellent feature for quick mules of gems et.c.)

why not do them both in same game, if you can get to and kill meph you should take extra 30 sec to hit up pindle for a chance at the high TCs. this is what i would do, but i rather go and clear the pit then do them 2 guys not that meph isnt good for getting one started. i just find the pit and other lvl 85 areas to be better options then pindle, as you can find many unique monsters and kill what 10 or so a run in maybe 5 mins and you have chances to kill normal monsters and get socketables and other nice items you dont see of pindle often
