If you're playing TSW this season, you can reroll Rares by cubing the Rare with an Arcane Shard or Arcane Crystal.

Finding Rare ammys with +Skills and Hailstorm isn't as tough as it sounds, considering the amount of Rare ammys that drop during the course of normal play. Just check every Rare ammy that drops and you can usually find at least 1.


I am playing single player. Is it online only for some reason? I tried with a sacred grand scepter and a rare amulet and neither rerolled.

Are there any items which cannot drop in certain areas?

For example, is it possible to get a set sacred ancient armor, or unique sacred ancient armor in K3K? If it is impossilbe, is there some documentation mentioning `top level` areas?

Thanks in advance!

Sadly, yes. These new recipes are only for people playing the current season online. People playing SP have to find this stuff on their own.

I tried TA and K3K on Destruction but it was still a little bit to "not possible ", at least not efficient.


Su dont drop on terror only sets.

Kinda already realized that after farmin TA for a while :|

Where or what would you suggest I farm until I can effeciently take on k3k and TA on Destruction?


You can easily farm terror K3k and get 90% or more of the bases you need for runewords and stuff to break into destruction.

Thank you, but as already mentioned I´m playing with a miniguide right now, which kinda jumps to only sacreds and great Runewords, I don't need any sets or shrinecrafts, or at least thats what the guide says. I wouldn't really know what to look out for and which shrines I should use for crafting.
I'ts my first MXL run after a year, so I'm pretty much running with outdated information and am currently trying to catch up.
you should go for the Xis runewords first before thinking about SU's

You can find any type of Sacred item anywhere in Destruction (I once had Khazra Plate drop from some rando in the Kurast Bazaar).

As far as where to find things, it depends on what you're looking for. K3K has a Set drop bias, so it's generally a good place for Set items, and it's easy to farm for most builds. Duncraig has a Sacred drop bias. so you're more likely to find good Sacred items there (both Sets and SUs) if you can farm it efficiently. But it's tough for a lot of builds that don't already have decent gear. TA is kind of a middle ground. It's generally a bit tougher to farm than K3K, but easier than Dunc. It has a Unique drop bias rather than a Set or Sacred bias, but its high mob density means there's a higher chance at least something will drop, and thus, there's a higher chance something good will drop.

Player count also has a noticeable effect on drops (specifically, by reducing nodrop). So try increasing the player count if you're playing SP and can handle the increased difficulty. Or if playing TSW, find some farming buddies.

Perfect thanks. Just so I know that if I farm K3K in destruction there are some items that I will never find.

Thanks!

wtf

what are you wtf-ing about ? a xis takes hours to farm (guaranteed ) . finding the certain SU' you need can take weeks/months/you can actualy never find it if you are not lucky enough and you have to trade for it .

now go ahead and tell me a xis is not cheaper than a SU and that it's hard to get . i can expect anything from you MP guys

wtf :)

oh , i forgot , you just need TG online , you don't need to farm, you can just buy items . maby in your MP "economy" a xis is more expensive ...
