Thanks for the guide, have been following it and it' has been fun up to the point where i am, where it's....not fun O_o
I am currently at the "Early game farming" part of the guide, done the uberquests listed that we can do and killed destruction Baal, what i have a really un-fun time with, is the gear farming to get mid-game items as they seem to be super ultra rare, example would be that you might as well forget about the Pantheon set as it would require about 7 days of 12hours (or more) per day to get it or more depending on rng, really unacceptable since that is too much time just to get mid-game stuff....
And then crafting the Typhaon bow which is listed as a mid-game bow, holy shit...killing mobs in fauztinville with early-game items is really slow and i die about 30-50 times per time i go there, iobviously do not do full clears and remake the game when i notice that mobs swarms my body, not to mention that apparently Ghal rune is a 8/4974 chance to drop ( 0.00161~% drop chance) so 1000 kills gives you aabout 1,6% chance to have it dropped, rather frustrating when i only have early-game items O_o
I haven't actually gotten past the early-game farming part yet simply because drop-rates are non-existent on mid-game items which i find fucking retarded (it's mid-game items, why does mid-game set items have to be rare as heck? trading is dead on multiplayer, so trading is useless in multiplayer, i tried for many hours already, no one is trading for set items).
I spent 6 days farming for set items in river of flames on single player (12+ hours each day) and finished 3 sets, but only had 2 set items from Pantheon and realized i did not want to be bored anymore so i went and made a multiplayer character, leveled to 120, came to the same progress as on single player but seeing as no one is trading on multiplayer it was just a waste of my time.
Anyone got any suggestions as to make mid-game farming faster? seems like a huge time investment for something that isn't late-game items. Would not be opposed to making another character just to farm an area to get items for my bowazon if that would help.
Also curious about mercenary, what gear should i get for the ac2 Exemplar and is he better than Bloodmage? (another user said Bloodmage is better and that is kills mobs really fast).
P.S: Your guide is great, enjoying it a lot, what's making it not so fun are the drop-rates
