1000 Mephisto Runs to Gear a New Character (Loot Highlights)

Loot highlights from 1000 Mephisto (H) runs on a new character with very minimal/budget gear that you can (mostly) farm very easily. For these runs I’m using a Blizzard Sorceress, which is a great way to start a new season / after a reset.
Does Mephisto live up to the hype in Diablo 2 Resurrected?
The whole idea was to try and get fully geared from only mephisto. I would definitely say we succeeded. I found some very good gear for the sorceress as well as other characters. Sure there’s room for improvement still, but after these runs I’m very much prepared to tackle any other area in the game!
I found a LOT of loot so what you see in this video is a really trimmed down version to only the good stuff. 1000 runs takes a long time though, so the question: Was it worth it?

@theawebster1505 Год назад

Actually this season I started later and had to buy cheaper items like eth Shaco and TGods, and to my surprise they are still around 50% durability now that I am finally geared. So eth items are not as bad as ppl think.

nice vids and editing! when running mephisto i always took the portal to act4 before leaving the game, using it’s waypoint in town when doing the next run, saves a lot of time walking from the docks to the waypoint in act3. bonus points for using telekinesis on the wp in town 😁

@philipschroeder5427 8 месяцев назад

@@zarfen If you play multiplayer I would rather recommend killing meph for quest with a different character. Then creating the game with that character and then killing Mephisto with your MF char which does not have the quest done. Then you can get quest drops, which have a higher chance for good items, and you won't be able to do the quest. As a character created the game that already finished the quest. In that way you get better drops every time but you cannot start from act 4.

@SakuragiLastname9 Год назад

The best way to get loot is to do cow runs. Collect gems and trade 40 pgems for an ist. Collect runeword bases for pul-ist or beyond if theyre superior. Ive been playing D2R for 2 months and already have a fully geared bone necro (Enigma,shako, 9 skillers, 2 soj hoto etc) fully geared barb (2 griefs, fort, etc) fully geared dragondin with 2x dragin HOJ flick flame, and MF sorc with infinity merc. Also you can flip runes very easy. Once i traded up to a Lo i just trade Lo for Sur Ist, then trade Sur for Lo Ohm, and repeat. It takes maybe 20 minutes for someone to bite on the trade game so i just leave the game open while i do other shit. But in short trading is the best way to gear your characters since MFing can be inconsistent

Unfortunately Ormus is kinda suboptimal for Light sorcs. You barely win any damage, because you lose on +skills to Lightning Mastery (which is equivalent to +24% lightning dmg). And you lose a lot of stats/resists/mf compared to other options. It is a beautiful roll indeed, but I personally wouldn't use it!

Awesome vid! I'd love to farm him on Hell, but have gear similar to yours and two things are destroying my runs: Low mana for teleporting, and being insta-gibbed when you teleport into a bad spot. How did you manage the travel portion of the 1000 runs?

@zarfen Год назад

Thank you! I did these runs on offline single player so the map is the same every run, which helps a lot with travel distance. I still had to drink several mana potions per run, so every few runs I stopped by Ormus on the way to the WP and restocked on mana potions. Teleporting into dangerous enemies is a pain especially with low Faster Cast Rate. A tip is to try and stick close to walls and not teleport blindly into the middle of an unknown room, monsters are usually spawning away from the walls. But before I got decent gear I had to abandon some runs because the council bosses got me and then camped by body. I just didn’t show the failures in the video 😜

died lauighing at the eth shako

@TravelMadeSimple13 Год назад

I`ve played this game for 15 years and never heard that etherial Shako is an issue

@zarfen Год назад

It depends on your character/play style. If you teleport into/close to groups of monsters it will definitely break sooner or later

@TravelMadeSimple13 Год назад

@@zarfen well yeah of course you`re right - sooner or later. By the time it breaks you would have found a new one is what i`m saying. So, not a big deal :)

@zarfen Год назад

@TravelMadeSimple13 ok gotcha, I agree :)

Are there any bosses most worth running while preparing for Nightmare or Hell difficulties?

@zarfen Год назад

If I can’t handle nightmare, it’s usually about levels rather than gear in my experience, and then I stay in normal and do some Baal runs or just mess around in act 5. If you need a better weapon as a melee character, look into some low-mid lvl rune words or maybe grind normal mephisto If I can’t handle hell due to gear, running nm mephisto is a great idea and he can even drop some great end game items even in nm.

I played 16 years of Diablo 2 and never drop Zaka 😒

I dropped Tyraels Might once and gave it to someone because I thought its useless xD

4 runs into Ohm? Damn lucky

@zarfen Год назад

Yeah crazy right?! I’ve never seen another decent rune drop from meph ever

How much hours did you take to complete this 1000 runs?

@zarfen 8 месяцев назад

Its been a while but IIRC 16 hours. But there was a big difference between run speed on the first runs and after I got some good gear

@Phicksusmc Год назад

2 arachnids mesh before chancies is insane. Even before a shako.

@zarfen Год назад

D2 RNG can be pretty crazy! I have found only 1 or 2 more arachs after the runs in this video, despite doing over 4000 more mf runs

@@zarfen like a zod before a vex. Lol

@zarfen Год назад

@Phicksusmc 😂 Not as extreme, but I have found both a jah and a ber but I have yet to find a Lo

@LeonStephan Год назад

I'm new to gear farming in D2 so I don't really understand how can you run Mephisto on Hell for a new character. Wouldn't that character NOT met the level requirement for the gear or something?

@zarfen Год назад

It’s not a new character as in a freshly created level 1 character. I meant new as in just starting to farm the late game. Sorry for any confusion! 🙂

@randomcommenter2941 Год назад

It's crazy you didnt find any reapers toll or vgaze. That with a treachery would be essential for your merc to kill lord de seis on chaos runs

@zarfen Год назад

I actually found one or two but they were non-eth and low ed% rolls. I found so many items during this that I didn’t know what to cut to keep the video length reasonable, probably was a bit aggressive cutting some items in hindsight

@jukeswolfy2593 Год назад

my first and only ever ber rune drop happened to drop off mephisto. kinda wild

@grarck-wi6do Год назад

Awesome video!

@zarfen Год назад

Thank you, Grarck! That’s so nice to hear! 🙂

@wanom6667 Год назад

Do you know how long did it take you to complete the 1000 runs?

@zarfen Год назад

About 16 hours, maybe a little more. Runs were much faster at the end compared to the beginning though so it depends on your run times (mostly gear) :)

@Jpgator1214 Год назад

Short answer: Yes Long answer: yes but RNG will always be RNG.

@zarfen Год назад

Good summary! Even 1000 runs which seems a lot is still very much at the mercy of D2 drop RNG

He’s still here, waiting for your return! 😉

I remember playing back in the day it would take a thousand years to get a full set put together, it was time to quit

@zarfen Год назад

Yes sets are very unforgiving to find by just playing the game, unfortunately 😅

@myztikgohan 3 месяца назад

Did you ever open the chest in the back? Got a Ber rune from it once.

@zarfen 3 месяца назад

I don’t usually since when I’m at Meph I just want to have as fast runs as possible. I got a few comments about finding HRs from it so I understand that people do open it
