Diablo 3 best way to farm ancients

Since Meph still owes me 13 items for my grail, it is not a complete waste of time.īased on conventional wisdom, MF of 250+, optimized kill speed, and players 1 are the way to run AT. Players 3 adds a bit more time to the AT side, but rune drops and socketables are more prevalent (Pul and Lo last two nights does this matter anymore?).Ĭombined, my time efficiency is lower, but my sanity is helped greatly by the increased S/U drop rates per run. Red portal to Act IV, waypoint to Lost City, and then 4 teleports to AT. It takes 15 teleports to get to DoH level 3, which adds about 5 secs to the Meph side of the run, but he goes down so quickly I wonder why I ran him with my blizzballer at all. To break it up, I just started adding Meph and running players 3. Overall, I average about 1 S/U drop per run. I have not tracked it recently, but I would guess my TC87 drops are 1 per 350+- runs. I average 6 boss packs with two spawning together at two places on the map.

I have a good map, and had my runs down to 1:20 at players 1 with nearly 400 MF (Blizzy w/full tals). I have been running AT for much of the last two months.
