► Show Spoiler

I played Median a lot back in the early days, then the ex-wife got me into WoW. (Rip the next few years of my life)

Now, I'm stuck here for the next two years with no internet to play any games, so my heart went back to Median (Also ditched the wife due to cheating on her part.)

Downloaded all the required mods onto my phone and moved to my pc via usb.

LOVING the game content a lot and have put maybe a month of time into it so far.

Have tried and gotten a few characters to 120 so far. (2x Druids, Amazon, Sorceress, Necromancer, and a 105 barb)

Currently, my main farmer is a Trap Rat, which I can speed clear K3K, TA, and most of Duncraig (fucking barrels on teleporting = restart game) with 50% dr, 300+ all resists with 5% max, and 562% MF

I am currently at the point of finding the same sacreds over and over again, and wondering if/where I should be farming.

My current mf game consists of:

Duncraig, K3K, TA, Meph, Diablo, Baal, and finish in Yshari Sanctum. (All on dest difficulty)

I have tried bumping to 700+ mf, but can not maintain 50% dr and any decent amount of resists so kill speed slows way the fuck down.

Thanks


also, fuck the trap rat, but its the best I can do on single player till I find more fucking sacreds.

Edit: fat fingers

Hi there,

First of all my respect for serving your country, good to have more people like you around the forums.

Now as for your question - seeing the same sacreds over and over is just bad luck. Any sacred unique can drop anywhere on destruction, so they are not restricted by areas.

The best farming area for sets and sacred uniques is duncraig, for which your traprat is not ideal. Fortunately the werewolf spec is absolute godmode there and requires very little expensive gear to perform adequately. They key is to have Lo runeword in a 1h broadsword, so the slow target makes the melee slain souls harmless and also sustains your mana. The rest of the items can be random appropriate SUs lying in your stash. Search the old forums for ideas about setup, it has been discussed plenty of times.

Now as far as MF is concerned, going for more than 500 is indeed a waste. If your character is less decked out with charms consider sticking around the 300s to not compromise kill speed too much. Other than duncraig, Tran Athulua on single player still drops great uniques with 400+ mf and the rat is a good choice to afk clear the place.

If you get bored of the druids and you want to try something fresh, why not take your sorceress (cold & lightning or cold & poison ideally) to Bremmtown. It's a seriously underrated, great farming spot (for single player) with 400mf + and the runs are incredibly quick because Tempest/Lorenado make short work of the howling spirits.

Before you go too far, werewolf is stronger in the realm version than in single player (twisted claw has ND in single player) but I'm not familiar with the duncraig werewolf farming build, just remember that if a guide recommends to use twisted claw.

@suchbalance

Thanks for the info and will probably swap my bow druid to wolf and give it a shot.

Also found a decent weapon and have been on my melee necro lately. shit is fun

@arhowk

ND? I try to learn all the lingo, but lost on that one.

ND= NextDelay, here's a quick wiki article about it http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/NextDelay

What?? Wolf in SP is stronger because it's not nerfed. In SP the newest patch is XVc and Twisted Claw has no ND. Link: http://www.medianxl.com/t6146-xvc-released

Twisted Claw: removed NextDelay, now deals 3/5 weapon damage, slight mana increase.

Wolf got nerfed only in realm. Link: http://www.medianxl.com/t7273-xvr-patch ... lm-edition

No.

So, twisted claw don't has ND in SP or realm?

[Pinball]

@MUS01:
- In SP: it doesn't has ND
- In Realm: it doesn't has ND too ...

I can't find the post where marco stated this but I thought that was the change implemented in XVR to werewolf druid.. my apologies if it isn't
