Guaranteed Sacred Targe from the armor rack

Sacred Targe from the armor rack. Spawning hydras near the armor rack instead gives a different consistent drop with no enemies (6 was an

Aegis) – and then different numbers of hydras in each location also give a different number of drops.

If you fish for a map like the above, with racks close to the entrance (which tends to lead to fewer enemy group spawns) or where empirically enemies don’t spawn often, then you can get a huge amount of variation on different drops – leading to a high amount of consistency in obtaining some great bases. With the

Mausoleum being area level 85, any ilvl 84 or lower can drop – we’re talking things like Archon Plates, Zakarum Shields and Matriarchal Pikes (much nicer, considering the 2.4 Amazon buffs).

You could even consider target farming – I’ve had a Laquered Plate drop here and a

Troll Belt as well, and chances of set items from what I can find online are 1 in 125 odds from a rack (this may have been patched to worse odds, but even so you’re probably looking at much, much better odds than Pindle farming for a few of these).

I thought I would spotlight this anyway, I think it’s a utility build any semi-serious single player should have. I’ve made this build solely for racking, after having good maps on other utility Sorc builds I have that I don’t want to give up.

SO it is most efficient in single player because you can have static maps and force no enemies to spawn there, and then test the locations.

However, there are ways to remember certain map layouts and still force a certain type of drop from a spot. Not overly useful but REALLY cool if you can do it.
