WitchyZon - New Journey!

Higher /p settings don't influence the %MF calculation, but increase the amout of drops for regular monsters, act bosses and a few super-uniques, e.g. Nihlathak. Monsters like Pindleskin don't drop more on higher /p settings, just like random bosses.

Higher /p settings in certain MF areas can still be useful for some time because they provide more exp.

Is there a list of which monster that do not drop more on higher p-settings?

 

[krischan]

I think it doesn't scale up with those who are derived from other monsters (like Bishibosh who is a Fallen Shaman) while it does for the others (often with unique graphics), but there are exceptions, like Griswold.

 

[Contragor]

Yeah, I didn't see more drops from Pindle going P1 to P3 to P5 to P7. Maybe his minions only.

Btw, last night he (or minions) dropped a Gul on p3. With 3xMal and a bunch of lower runes that I have, can cube up to another Gul and then to Vex! Need one more vex and then another Lo is possible = Grief! More LK runs are coming lol

 

[Contragor]

Oh, BTW, found an eth archon plate (not superior) with over 700 def. What's best use for it?

Ebug it (the cube recipie for adding sockets, gives eth armor extra defence). Make a nice merc armor, like stone or trechery

 

[Contragor]

Cool, will try tonight after work. Thanks!

I cross my fingers you get 3 or 4 sockets

 

[Contragor]

Guess it rolled ok?

 

[drmalawi]

Yup! You can now make Stone (and later Fortitude) for merc

 

[Contragor]

Will do!
Meanwhile did 50 Countess and 50 more Pindle runs:
Best runes: 2x Io, Lum, Lem
No decent uniques other than Valkirie Wing with +2 to zon skills.

I did 4k countess runs this summer, got 9 Ists hehe
Waste of time, should have done LK instead. But I wanted to confirm the droprates of Ist runes

Wow, 4k? I should just keep doing lvl 85 areas and LK then.

For runes up to Ist, countess wins. With those 9 Ist, I could cube up 1 Ohm LOL

 

[Contragor]

Well, without tele, it would take me ~320 hours to do 4k runs. That's way more than it took me to find a Vex, Ohm, Gul, Lo, and a bunch of uniques, sets, etc.
I'm feeling lucky today, RNGesus, give me my Zod please! lol

 

[Contragor]

Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for a Zod, hehe. Spent 5 hours today running LK, Pindle, AT, Pit, Countess.

Best items: another IK helm & boots, 2nd Alibaba
Runes: 2xIo, 2xFal

 

[Dacar92]

good luck on the next runs. Hope your clicking hand doesn't get tired, lol

Haha, I have some experience doing brain numbing clicking while listening to terrible music - 5.2k hours in D3 (2 dead mice), 2k+ hours in D1 (3 dead mice).
Just finishing some family errands for the day - will hit D2 hard tonight!

 

[Contragor]

Was a good run tonight! Mostly doing AT, Countess, LK and Pindle.

Runes up to Ko

Uniques:

Magewrath - LK P7
Bartuc's Claw - LK P7 - that WW Ghost Sin is looking more and more attractive now!
Nosferatu's Coil - LK P7
Razortail - AT P3
Verdungo's (15% DR, +37 Vit) - AT P3
Laying of Hands - AT P3

Wish I had more time, had a nice map layout...

 

[drmalawi]

Those were some good uniques! Belt-fest!
