The Clearers: slow playing style

At first it was more of a rush mentality, but now that I'm geared to my liking - I personally like clearing more now (at least leaning more this way). I sold my Enigma because it was actually making me miss stuff as I was teleporting through. Walking through the level is much more enjoyable to me

With my lv90 Java, I clean almost every area I visit, except when I'm heading towards Countess' tower and going for the high council in

Travincal. And of course, popping every lootable object I come across.

My farming route:
Pits
Countess

Andariel

Arcane Sanctuary, Summoner

Travincal - Council only

Chaos Sanctuary/Diablo
Eldritch/Shenk/

Pindleskin
Worldstonekeep lv2, lv3, throneroom,

Baal
Cows

Then repeat

Sometimes I clean even all 3 Kurast areas.

I had some issues heading towards

Mephisto and Nihlaktak, so skipping them for now.

and...? did that get you something? I mean that's the area with the most rich lootable chests, baskets, skeletons, logs, tree corpses etc
I guess that would depend on your MF level

Doing all clears has it's benefits. I've gotten HRs off trash mobs. Useful mid-runes from under rocks. I've found more useful loot and gear from mobs in WSK and Throne room than from

Baal himself.
LKurast hasn't given me anything useful yet other than low-tier stuff, but it will the more you run them, that's the nature of RNG.

Got some nice stuff to be honest.
First couple runs I had like 300+ MF, then switched gear for more FRW and killing speed, settled at 200-230 MF, small variety there, but most of the time 202 MF

Found:

My first 2

Mal and first

Ist
Couple runes from

Ko to

Pul (dont now how many)
15% ed 0os

Monarch

Eth 15% ed 4os

Boneweave with 700+ defense (made Fortitude in it for merc)
Near perfect

Valkyrie Wing (only missing 1 point in mana after each kill)

Goldwrap (good roll)

Eth

Skin of the Flayed One (helped my merc a lot before Fortitude)
2 M'awina Set pieces
Some unique amulets
2 Dwarfstar
1

Raven Frost
2 Trang-Oul Set pieces
Some good armor bases with 3os and 4os
Some pieces of Immortal King set
...
Tons of gold and gems of all kind

And more I cant remember right know. Need to check some mules to refresh my Memory.

Think I did about 60/70 runs there.
No HRs found.

I like clearing A3 not for runes but the GCs I find. I have so many random skill gcs from going from

Great Marsh - Meph.

Count me in. I am a slow player too. I enjoy going through the game with whatever I could find along the way and carefully avoid being killed. This way, the game feels more like an adventure instead of a massacre. What I enjoy the most is playing with my friends and my wife with different chars to test the synergy. We did some fun combinations, e.g., the six goddes group, bowazaon with act 1 merc and her

Valkyrie, assasin with act 1 merc and her shadow.

I rush my sorceress at first, but after that, I love taking my time with my other characters I build. Going thru the game with my ever so slow Bear druid is great. I'll never get tired of it.

Now I may not even rush at all during ladder. A bit tired of it, to be honest and I get to play it with some folks now. Not even because they are fixing Act 3! (finally)

Most of my GCs were found at cows.

'Till you have good gear on your Char. Even with 1 other player in the lobby, everything feels like a massacre with my java, lv91 now. But its really fun

Only missing Infinity on Merc and 2-4 BiS items on her, depanding on which u prefer.

Also a slow player, but also due to the fact that I only play a couple of hours a week. When I play, at least, should be fun.

I do my normal long farming runs but decided to make a Fury druid the other day. Walking through hell with him and my buddy who made a bowazon was best idea imo. Found a

Vex in

Black Marsh, he found an soj at trav. Followed by a

Lo from meph trash mob and to top off the night another

Vex in Arreat Plateu. Most runes found ever let alone one game, game crashed before

Anya.
