Hello Mr.Llama! Thanks for your Videos and your Info about Diablo 2. Since release of Diablo 2 Resurrected start gaming Offline with my naked Javazon..Grinded like 2 years almost to get near to full endgame bis. Since Terror Zones got released 3-4 months later read that bug about Andariel on internet.. p7 and around 300MF with Enigma on was farming Terrorized Andariel. The drops are simple insane.. after 2 years finally found items which prolly will never find in my life. Also got like x3 Gryphons like tons of Facets but farm her just for a week only. it is broken but vs endless Baal runs for offline mode atleast its huge help to get gear faster.
In my offline hardcore 99 character I found most of my Uber rare drops from Andy. You can control when she’s spawns offline too but I love farming Andariel
Sometimes when I need full rejuvenations I mob farm the catacombs on hell and end up finding a good number of decent unique drops too as a bonus to just doing Andy
Another nice video mrllama! I tried to follow the tip with TZ Andy and it was great drops for tc87 (one every 30-60mins but I had a non optimal map), but mine is definitely dropping potions. What’s the reason behind it?
Are terror zones a negative if you go to them under their original level then? Like, I finish hell at 80, my terror zones are 82, if I go into a pit terror zone, is it now worse than original?
So in general, in first 4 minutes of video you get all info you need, bigger area level= more experience and unlocked higher level loot that usually dont drop in these areas + Sunder charms.
I can certainly attest that Andariel has better roll chances than Diablo and Baal in Terrorized Zones, in Normal Mode and via my experiences at least. The only hindrance is navigating those damn Catacombs!! Teleport shortens the trip, otherwise going through door by door takes some time. Maybe better rolls is your reward for putting up with the Catacombs 🤣
You explained the Andy quest bug but i have been reading online about Andy and quest bugging when in Terror zones? It was making it like you don't want Andy to be quest bugged in Terror zones? Its so confusing. Does anyone know the correct way?
@@MrLlamaSC Could you kindly elaborate on the "always bugged" part? Does this mean that Andariel now always drops her first-time quest drops AND terror zones are further improving that loot range? Even for people that never bugged her in the first place? Many thanks! Edit : Did some research on my own. Indeed, that's a thing! Goodness me, I've been convinced I do not have her bugged, so I didn't even bother farming her! This changes a lot! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge MrLlamaSC!
gotta comment on this right after loading the game up with tz andy in effect and hitting on a friggin griffs (17/12) and shako (133 def) dual drop from her immediately. 😎
I can't for the life of me figure out why the hell I'm so interested in farming D2, but here I am. Edit: If single player terror zones are based on client clock, shouldn't you just be able to change your system clock to whenever you want it to be for the zone you wanna farm?
That is correct...many would consider that cheating but others don't seem to mind. Singleplayer is all about personal goals so really just up to you and what you want to do
when you defeat the cow king....is the secret cow level permanently closed for that difficulty? if i remember correctly(it's been over 10 years since i last played) that was how he worke din the original diablo 2.
my SP Nova Sorc has been stuck at lvl 89 for quite some time, (came back to game recently after being away for over a decade) the lower zones don't give me the xp/drops I need to advance and when I try and push the higher stuff (I have cleared thru Hell) I get Gobstomped and end up losing the 3/4 bars xp I have managed to obtain. have Spirit sword/shield Vipermaji armor +2 lightning skills head and a soj & resist ring a resist ammy ....if I try and max my MF out can get to around 356, but then I cant kill much in Hell level.....cant get arachnids mesh so far or a better weapon any input would be appreciated. A2 Merc has Insight, Eth Duriels Shell (upgraded) and a mid level helm....working on high runes but not there yet. I have farmed Andy forever, a good amount of Arcane Sanc Mephy in hell is a slower farm for me atm...I look at Silopen as well but the drop gods don't seem to favor me so far.
If you want to level up I would recommend swapping your build for something safer. Though level 89 is pretty high already. As for gear, I think next step for you would be getting Heart of the Oak, which can be obtained by just farming the countess or doing something like popping chests in low kurast.
nova sorc is dangerous without really good gear, and sadly doesn't get fantastic MF from her solid gear as well. I would say swapping over to blizzard would be a better solution so you can MF and kill without as much risk of death. Even frozen orb/hydra or something is safer
You could exchange the Spirit sword for a Cresent Moon runeword (-35% enemy lightning resistance) if you have an Um rune. That's effectively increasing damage by 35% versus monsters with 0% lightning resistance and by 70% for one with 50% res and better than what a Spirit sword offers. Needless to say, Griffon's and facets everywhere will increase damage output as well. Even though a nova sorc cannot wear that much MF, she's faster at killing than a blizzard sorc and the amount items depends a lot on killing speed, not just on MF. 100 kills per minute with 100% MF will provide more loot than 50 kills per minute with 250% MF (also because of diminishing returns of MF on rare, set and unique items). In addition, once you reach a certain damage output, the novas will put the monsters into hit recovery most of the time which makes things safer again.
I keep getting this unique reaper from mephisto on normal difficulty on my barb lol Think its called a soulsharvest or something. Damage is not that high nut looks amazing and has cool stats 😎 never found other uniques yet. Ive just been olaying around on nornal though
A thing to understand about DROP RATE, is that if the item has 1 / 1000 drop rate, you need to interpret it like "~60% of players will get 1 drop per 1000 kills", which is pretty damn sad :p
I've never clicked on a video so fast after seeing a thumbnail only to be SO disappointed by what I saw. This is NOT what I expected when I read "MILKING TERROR ZONES"
getting back into diablo 2, been like long time, are there instances where say monsters can drop the base item but not the Unique version? if not, why not? im still confused on how TC works and area and monster levels
To drop a unique item, a monster must have both sufficient mlvl for the unique's Qlvl, and be dropping from a treasure class high enough to include the base item. Unique and set items have a Qlvl that differs from their base item's qlvl. Monster drops will roll for an item base first, and then roll for its rarity. If the rarity check rolls as a unique or set item with a Qlvl that exceeds the monster's mlvl, then it will drop as a rare or magic item instead. A failed unique becomes a rare item with triple durability, and a failed set becomes a magic item with double durability. Most monsters have an mlvl equal to the alvl. Champions have an mlvl equal to the alvl+2, and unique monsters' mlvl is equal to the alvl+3. Superuniques and bosses have pre-determined mlvls. Sorry if anything here is incorrect, but that's my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Anything over 2-300 mf is a waste imho, prefer lower mf and faster kill speed. That and this is all only odds, I've played since 2000 and never found my own soj, but I've found perfect tyreals, etc etc. Mf is mostly just dumb luck lol.
I play singleplayer. My main problem is that I'm very unlucky with rune drops. I did over 1000 LKs a lot of other stuff but still never got a VEX, LO, SUR, BER, JAH, CHAM or ZOD Rune. Nothing higher than an OHM :-(. In addition to that no Shako and no Spiderweb Sash. Currently I play a Hammerdin and the worst is: no skiller for him. For other chars I have a full inventory of skillers sometime up to 3 with high +Life. The Sorc was never very fun for me but I guess I have to level one just to profit from teleport. Btw. Gheeds was also very elusive for me. I found my first a couple of days ago with more or less the worst roll (I think it was 100 GF, 10 vendor and 22 MF). With the GF I'm not 100% sure but all rolls were more or less the worst. And I never found a facett. But already two SOJs (but I'm too much chicken to do uber Diablo :-)).
You keep going, that's the only way to get the drops. I have over 5000 LK runs lately. All in /players5 because that gives the highest chances for a BER drop. Sometimes I get 500 runs with nothing and then I got a LO and a BER within 10 runs of each other.
Playing ssf singelplayer too, found 2hrs in cs around 300runs 2 hrs 500 travi runs 0hrs 1000meph runs 2 hrs 50cows and in only 100runs arcane sanctuary 7hrs!! All runs done players 8 So best way for singel player is arcane sanctuary in player 8 and only kill ghosts and open chests, runs are super slow took me around 7mins each but in my opinion so fast to get ever 20runs a hr
Ngl I'd love to farm this but I'm gonna have to make a new character entirely for that because my catacombs layout is mid at best but I've got a really nice LK and a near perfect mephisto layout I'm probably never gonna reroll let's be real what are the odds you get both in 1 seed :p
@@MrLlamaSC Definitely! Luckily, however, I did find some really nice barb gear on this run so I might be doing some MF barb shennanigans soon enough to set up for travincal runs. Since he'll be full of mf anyway and trav isn't layout sensitive sounds like the perfect victim.
@@Mattfbairn I assume he means for online play where it will always be different, offline once you've found him on Hell he will always be in the same tomb until you change game difficulty. Doing the summoner each run before hand for online play would be excruciatingly slow - enough to make not running him viable.
@Lones555 the method I described works for online. If u can get to the summoner quickly, itll be easy to get to duriel. That said, duriel is hardly efficient to farm.
He's arguably the worst since he can already drop every item (bar some small charms) when he's not terrorized and he's loot capped to players 3, there's less overall benefit to running him as a terror zone than someone much easier to reach and kill like duriel/andy/meph.
@@MrLlamaSC I'll have a try, and I found some I consistencies with the drop calculator, as the one you linked had no drop rates for arachnid mesh for anyone but Baal, but I remember seeing anyone from Meph (I might be wrong) can drop it...
Are people only just realizing what a ridiculous loot pinata terrorized Andariel is? I've been farming her for a looooong time now, the drops are insane.
today i went to hell and on my 2nd run with 6mf she gave me soj so Andy always gives :P keep us happy with diablo and show to other "streamers" "noobs" how to farm thank you Llama you are the legend !
