In case of exp pots, ur first pot is wasted as soon as u drink the next one same for apples, but i think hp/mana pots stack in duration if taken one after another..

If you drink, for example, a super healing potion after 3 seconds of healing from the same potion, you'll get 3+6 seconds of duration. If you drink the whole belt of such potions, clicking super fast, they won't grant you instant 6+6+6+6... duration. Afaik, they used to do so in older versions (classic example is 'stack potions in Ureh')

The best uniques he was involved on, in my opinion, were 1) The Facebreaker gloves - which allowed you to make a melee build without a weapon and just punch stuff with skills. They were nerfed because they were too good. 2) The Abyssus helm - the best dps helm for1-handed weapon melee damage builds, that comes with the downside of making you more vulnerable against physical damage (there is no physical resistance on items in PoE unlike in diablo.)

He also worked on some other levelling items such as the Aurumvorax sword, which have their uses but are overall not very good.

Thanks for the answer. I saw Facebreakers, also saw Icetomb, Al Dhin, Ylfa, Belly Of The Beast...

is there any way to know what monster rank will be assigned to u as you rise higher at post counts??

Marco wrote in old forums:

I finished setting up a forum rank system. A normal rank is a title you get after reaching a certain post count.
Special ranks can only be set by the Administrator and are not dependant on post counts.

Forum ranks do nothing, they are simply titles and promote forum activity.
However, you will discover a few 'secret' features upon reaching certain ranks Wink
These 'secret' features just give you an elevated forum status. This means,
you won't get a cookie in real life nor flying abilities. To give an example, stuff
you could access by reaching these certain ranks, are signatures, access to
some hidden forums, and many more for you to discover. Anyways, here are
the ranks, based on in-game monsters:

[NORMAL] [0-50]
Act 1: New normal monster every 1 post.
Act 2: New normal monster every 2 posts.
Act 3: New normal monster every 2 posts.
Act 4: New normal monster every 2 posts.
Act 5: New normal monster every 2 posts.

[ELITE] [50-300]
Act 1: New elite monster every 5 posts.
Act 2: New elite monster every 5 posts.
Act 3: New elite monster every 10 posts.
Act 4: New elite monster every 10 posts.
Act 5: New elite monster every 10 posts.

[VETERAN] [300-400]
All Acts: New veteran monster every 20 posts.

[LEGENDARY] [400-1000]
All Acts: New legendary monster every 33 posts.

[REGULAR UBER/HEROIC MONSTER] [1000-3000]
All Acts: New regular uber/heroic monster every 50 posts.

[SUPERUNIQUES] [3000-4000]
All Acts: New superunique monster every 100 posts.

[ACT BOSSES] [4000-5000]
All Acts: New act boss monster every 200 posts.

[UBERBOSSES] [5000+]
All Acts: New uberboss monster every 200 posts.

So I just did K3KBA with 1115% magic find (sacrificed everything but resistances to obtain that, took me like an hour to clear the level...I died SO many times...)
And in this, I found only 4(!) set items (did find the sacred uniques, though)
From what I understand, this is the best place to farm for sets, but 1 item for 15 minutes (about) is *way* too slow for me - with my normal setup, I clear it in about 15 minutes and pull 3 items on average (129 mf).
So the obvious choice is to do it like that, but my question is, where do I aim for on MF to maximize my chances for these? Obviously, there's some diminishing returns in this regard for higher values, so where does it start dropping off the most?

Also, the other day I had a question about where to find a Fauzt boss, and someone posted a map of the place - are the all of the uberlevels mapped out like this? If so, where can I find the maps?
