Description

I decided to start chasing those end game Runewords after I made my first Grief. So I started doing Trav runs with my WW 51% item find Barb. It does get nauseously boring sometime. Then I’ll switch to cow runs with my Javazon, Summon Necro and trapsin. (I don’t know how those people get 2-3 mins cow runs done, I thought my necro was going quite fast, I still need 5-6 mins from entering the game to most cows are killed.) and some Chaos and Baal runs too, I didn’t do too many Baal runs early because I don’t want to risk my lvl92 sorc losing exp, and other characters were just not efficient enough. but after I got Enigma, Baal run became much more viable with Barb and Necro, and it yield good result.

All games are on b.net private game player 1. I only kept drop count for Ist and up, I really should have start recording from Um or Pul since those turned into quite a few Ist.

The result:
58 Chaos: brought me nothing… nil… zero (mostly full clear, occasionally seal pop)
150 Cow Run: Jah Ist
<20 Baal runs: Sur Lo
1000 Travincal: Ohm Sur Jah Gul*2

During the process, I made my second Grief which speed up things considerably, put Guardian Angel and Kira’s Guardian on my merc and he rarely dies with a bit help of repositioning by Teleport, Conviction still hurts! Made a CTA with low roll… Made a decent HOTO, and a Enigma, you don’t know how good it is until your trapsin/necro/barb start teleporting, so great!

As for item drops, I didn’t keep track but I think I got 1 soj, 2 Tal ammy, 4 maras, 2 Highlords, a HoZ, 2 Raven Frost, 2 or 3 Nature’s Peace mostly come from Trav runs.

Now I am a Sur short of making Infinity, and I need a Thresher base, I don’t want to make it into a Eth CA. Then Faith and maybe Fortitude and CoH later.

I think Travincal is a decent place to camp, especially for a barb with item find. I got REAL lucky in those Baal runs, and I think a bit unlucky in all those cow exploding… and Chaos is a total disappointment for me. All in all, I think it met my expectations.

Can be used to make Runewords:

I still need 1 or 2 more shakos for my chars, during the runs, I saw so many blue and yellow shakos, none unique. and so many blue Threshers, i was hoping to get one more reapers toll for my druid, didn't get it...

Happy for you OP. Great AAR (After Action Report) on your results.

I'll join the topic. Just completed 890 Travincal runs and got from them: 1 SOJ, Sur, Gul, lots of good charms, even skillers and all resistances, lots of flawless gems, some good rare amulets during the first 120 runs.

After that Pul, 3 Fal, 2 Rainbow Facets, Lum, Lem, Um, 2 Ko, Ohm.

Hope to get something interesting during 110 left runs.

Travincal is my typical drop nothing location as most of the locations in this game. 500 runs - 1 Lem, no good unique, no good charm, no good jewel

Buying out Hel and perfect amethysts.

Same here. 2 SOJ, 2 Sur 1 Ohm, 1 Gul, 1 Maras, and a bunch of mid-runes. Trav is the place where I normally go to magic find, and got me Annihilus, Half Enigma, and recently enough dough to afford Beast.

Had a Dream about getting a Lo, and all I found today was a Wisp Projector

500 run just a Lem? that's even harder than getting a Ber in 500 runs...
Maybe the game has some hidden mechanics that we don't know, I have gotten 4 Jahs in d2r but never seeing a Vex drop.

It's all RNG. I pressed on after seeing your good drops. At 1322 runs, hork a Sur.
Total after 1322 runs - Sur, Ohm, 2 Vex, Um, Pul, 3 Lems. 5 shakos, 4 Reapers (1 Ethereal), 3 Draculs, 1 Andy.

I think you just gotta figure out what place works best for you. For me I would just stay in Chaos Sanctuary and not anywhere else. I've only been farmed Chaos Sanctuary for a week since I made my Infinity only one week ago, but I already got the following:

1 Ber
299ED Eth Stormlash which was sold for 2 Ber + Ohm
27CD Death's Fathom still for sale
Eth andy's face which was sold for Ohm + Vex
Windforce
and countless midrune-worth gears like skin of vipermagi that I just stopped picking anymore.
It's been so wonderful

Currently taking a break from doing uber services. My old uber service thread: trade/uber-service-for-cheap-price-t331131.html.

ahh Windforce... always wanted one. too bad there is Faith now, and Faith merc with Windforce just sound too expensive. I got a Grandfather sword, similar fate, even worse, because of Griefs.

There is in fact hidden mechanic. It is called bad luck.

Hey, 2 SOJ is not bad!!! Those are very good numbers (unless it was 12h of continuous, insufferable grind)!!
