Where do YOU mf?

I was just wondering where the majority of posters here like to mf. Personally I like Mephisto the best, and I have been trying out the pits but even with 350+mf and 5 runs, not one unique has dropped in the pits. Dissappointing..

 

[BlackEagle]

Well, here is a question to show my newbiness. What are you talking about when you are talking about pit runs?

 

[Frosty_The_Snowman]

I usually don't MF in a single place, but rather by "tours", like Eldritch-Shenk-Pindle-Meph-Andy.
- But also Baal (BOing my MF sorc with my Singerbarb, so she gets insane stats)
- Also the Tamoe pit in multiplayer games with my MF sorc
- Also ths WSK with my Summoner/CE Necro in multiplayer games
- And very rarely the cows with my LF javazon (mostly when I need crafting material)
:xsnow:

I usually don't MF in a single place,

I tend to MF wherever my fancy takes me. I've even MF'd the Glacial Trail Mostly though, I create game, kill the council then hit Meph. Rinse lather and repeat.

Like was stated, I'll do cows for crafting materials..but only rarely

 

[Masas]

Well, I MF Andy, Crypt, Mausoleum, Pit, Ancient Tunnels, Lower Kurast, Meph, Sewers lvl 2 (act 3 sewers that is), from the River of Flame to Diablo, Shenk, Eldritch, Thresh (if a good map), Pindle, Baal, Cows. Heck, I mf in a lot of other places, but only occasionaly (mostly whatever the act is, I kill the most superuniques I can). Good luck MFing everyone

 

[Myrakh-2]

I like to hop around a lot, and avoid the braindead "create, kill, quit" thing.

There is some priority, though. Top areas are River of flame/chaos sanctuary and Worldstone keep/Throneroom --- these are all area level 85, and have a nice act boss at the end.

Second are Mephisto and Andariel --- Mephisto takes longer to reach; but Durance is area level 83, which isn't bad, and you always get the superunique council members in durance 3, so it's not that bad (Bremt Sparkfist in particular, as he comes with a bunch of friends and often there are some boss or champion bloodlords as well).
I can "run" Andariel and often do (as opposed to killing the stuff on the way through the catacombs 2+3), but her drops can't get as high as Mephistos. I always clear catacombs 4, but the map could really use a higher boss density.

If I don't forget it I also pay a visit to Pindle, Eldritch and Shenk.

Other than that, I more or less randomly hop around to different areas --- there isn't enough time to do everything, so it's just more or less random.
When I feel like it I'll probably make an AutoIt script that sends me to a random waypoint for me, or says "cows" or something like that

 

[Sephyron]

I usually run Meph, Pindel, Eldrich, Pit and Masoleum

 

[slipVaYnE]

Now i'm only running andy-meph-pindle but i was running pit-countess-andy-dury-meph-diablo-shenk-eldritch-pindle-baal but that was my hammerdin, lol

 

[Boreal21]

Hey I follow basically the exact same routine with my hammerdin :thumbsup:

 

[chrisng]

Act5 Larzuk & Anya (shopping really, not MFing) - Meph - Act4 Jemalla & Halbu (same reason) - Act1 Charsi & Gheed (yup again) - Countess - Pits

Only use 1 tp to get from Countess back to town to go to Pits. It costs only 80 gold to do one trip like that!

PS. If you're curious why I shop, I made 4Ists + Um just for selling magical armour.

 

[GayDemonz]

Pindel and i do some travencal runs usually.

But meph sometimes and Baal sometimes of course.

 

[DefyGravity]

1. Hell Meph.
2. Hell Diablo.
3. Hell Shenk.
4. Hell Eldritch.
5. Hell Pindle.
6. Hell Baal.
7. Sometimes Hell Andy.

92 (Enigma) + 24*7 (Small Charms MF) + 130 (Isted Gull Dagger) + 50 (Shako) = 440 MF.

 

[ToadKiller]

I'd guess about 90% Eldritch/Pindle, and 10% something else to break the tedium.

 

[Xes]

With my blizz sorc, she has about 500mf :clap: :
1. Mephisto
2. Andariel
3. Pindle
4. Baal
5. Ancient Tunnels

 

[hamstring21]

Hell Meph
Hell Shenk
Hell Eldritch
Sometimes Hell Andy
Sometimes Hell Pit

IK barb with P-topaz
Dual Jewelled Alibaba
40% Gheed
mfsc
Merc has:
P-topaz Skullders
P-topaz Arreats

Total about 600% on switch to alibabas and merc kill

 

[ToadKiller]

Oh please...getting your Merc to kill anything is a waste of time, and switching is even a bigger waste. The difference between 400 MF and 600 MF is so miniscule that there IS no real difference. Other than saying, "I have 600 MF."

 

[Myrakh-2]

It depends on WHAT you are looking for:
400% mf -> 153% better chance for unique
400% mf -> 222% better chance for set
400% mf -> 240% better chance for rare

600% mf -> 176% better chance for unique
600% mf -> 272% better chance for set
600% mf -> 300% better chance for rare

+60% for rares, +50% for sets and +23% for uniques.

If you can keep up your killing power, why not?

 

[Bugzy]

Most people will defiently run pindle, meph and baal.

Some people will also run the tc87 areas.

A lot of people make a mistake but pileing on loads of mf and then keeling very slowly. Work out the equipment u need to kill fast and have a steady amount of mf then hit the spots mentioned above.

Pindle is a faviourite because he doesn't need a good map seed to do it in moderately fast time. You just go through the portal, teleport twice to the temple entrance building and then kill pindle as fast as you can. Grab the drop and then exit and repeat.

I can do a pindle run in about half a minute - but I know some who can do it faster.

You can't get 600 MF without doing some lame thing like weapon switch + Merc kill; that pretty much blows your "killing power".

Are you sure that is updated to 1.10? I'm pretty sure that Bliz nerfed MF so you don't need more than 250%MF to find items normally you'll be finding at 500%MF in 1.09 (It was in the new druid guide with a small MF section). And since %MF works in diminishing returns, I would have to agree that the difference for 23% to get a rare from 400 to 600 is negligable. You'll probably spend more than you can find buying all those Ists and getting it in the sockets.
