2.000 TraviRuns Recap

Rik wrote: 1 year ago

When you say 9 seconds to wp, are we talking arrival in

Travincal wp?

Not really. It takes 9 seconds from the arrival at the bridge in act3 3 to reach the docks of curast wp. I don't count loading times, because they vary too much...

If you’re upto 2000 runs then that is just terribly bad luck.

Not sure if my calculation is right, but here goes:
atm I have 1.780.707.345 experience.
One Travi run brings ~ 150.000 experience.
To reach my current exp from lvl 84 takes 817.505.824 experience.
And 817.505.824 divided by 150.000 per run equals more than 5k runs?

That can't be right...

I’m assuming you recently calculated the experience gain per trav run? There are experience penalties that really start racking up as you gain levels past lvl 70 and then also penalties when killing monsters 5 levels above or beneath your character level. I think trav demons are around level 80 with variation between the uniques and normies. Unfortunately it’d be a very complicated equation to extrapolate how many runs you’ve done based on current experience gain from one run and would depend on you solely running trav with this char from lvl 84 onward.

Based on the trav calculator I’ve messed with, per 1000 runs with 76 item find, one averages 2.6-2.8 high runes per 1000 runs.

You might be able to ball park an estimate by taking your current average run time and estimating how many hours in total you’ve ran trav. It’ll be a really rough number but with other pieces of info it will help you triangulate a total run estimate. This of course depends on steady run times even when a lower level. But I’m assuming your items haven’t changed much. The extra levels will increase hit chance on uniques along with extra skills but probably wouldn’t amount to much of a run time difference.

You could always just run the math, but that would take someone like me a long time to calculate and depend on you having zero deaths along your trav journey.

Just intuitively, I feel like going from lvl 84 -90 on council alone is a f*%# ton of runs… You might’ve just gotten a terrible hand from the rng.

I‘ve been running Trav for months, there is no way to calculate the time spent. a f*%# ton of runs should be about right…

Haha well maybe someone on the site will run the math. I’m getting tempted to try but if I made it public I’m sure someone smarter than me would eviscerate my method and findings.

Keep slayin’, high runes will come and if willing keep me posted on results.

Will do. Maybe I‘ll take the time to maxroll.gg my char and see if you guys find room for improvement.

I gave up farmin trav. No matter how many runs I do:
1) never even a damn

Mal or

Ist;
2) never a fetchy/useful gc/sc/jewel;
3) my best ever drop was a soj.

Had more luck aside the council, tho - one

Sur outta regular zakarumite, and twice the

Ber outta small cubic boxes (guess I hit a Pattern linked to these).

Thursday Travi was cursed when I ran it for an hour. Highest rune was a

Dol, but I found a grand charm with +1 lightning skills and 12% fhr.
I set it up for trade and got 3 offers:
1.) 1

Vex
2.)

Ber

Zod

Zod

Lo
3.)

Ber

Sur

Lo
I thought about botd for a bit but decided on offer 3. A few even higher offers came last minute, but I already agreed to offer 3.
So I guess you can say I „found“ my first 3 high runes in

Travincal…

Could you share your build? I made

Leap horker but runs take me so long.

Do you guys have some additional and safe app to count runs, time, and loot quickly?

I used something years ago but I can't recall what was that

I wish I had the willpower to do mass runs like you are able to do. After like 30-45 mins of the same place I need a change of scenery.

I've found some pretty good stuff doing trav too, including 2

Jah runes (I've done less than 200 runs probably). You would think that would trigger something in my head to make want to spend more time running there..

I don’t have a special counter. I run stopwatch on my phone.

If youre wealthy, I think the fastest runner is ww barb, I’ve done a lot of testing and can’t imagine any other barb skill that could compete though could be mistaken.

If you’re poor, I’d start with a zerker barb with enough points into

Howl in order to scatter the trav herd to avoid getting swarmed (Oath/Rhyme with dual babas on switch is good and cheap). Just run trav for a while and sell everything short of your soul to secure a couple

Lo runes and then switch to ww. Both times I’ve made a hork barb on ladder I ended up securing a botd before Grief. It’s a good stepping Stone but it pales in comparison, but is an option if you’re getting frustrated. You can score a low Ed

Colossus Blade botd for an

Ohm (on ladder. Maybe even cheaper now), but then again,

Ohm is worth more than half a

Lo… Fight through the frustration of dying and losing all unhorked corpses by recognizing that a

Jah or

Ber could pop out at any moment. Try to get decent mf where possible, even if you’ve got to throw on a skullders when horking. Facets and gheeds show up pretty often. High quality ones will score you a high rune.

Another option with weak gear might be

Frenzy /

Double Throw if you can proc amp damage with a lacerater, (I think you can get a low Ed one for a midrune) proc and then switch to Oath and ww. With enough life leech and res, you should be alright if they are cursed. I’d keep

Howl in the back pocket though. You can also run a merc with reapers toil and then ww around him but you will lose corpses from that weapons cold damage. That means 20 percent of corpses under effects of cold damage when killed are lost and most of your items, by faaaar come from horking but it’s a good option for ppl before they can afford Grief.

I aim for 75 percent item find, which usually costs about 40 hard points including potion find synergy but I think you could argue that around 72ish percent is ideal based on diminishing returns per point spent where you’d max

Find Potion while not putting 20 into

Find Item to get to it. Make sure

Find Potion is maxed before you get less than 1 percent increase from each point into item find.

I max mastery and puff up Bo pretty good til you’re Around 3000 health which is plenty with decent res. Or max Bo, then put more points into strength to optimize trav kill speed. If you plan on farming tougher areas outside trav like

Nihlathak or world Stone, I’d go for more health. Invest 1 into one point wonders including

Berserk and

Frenzy. All else into ww.

Berserk physical immunes, swing a couple times with

Frenzy before ww when facing

Holy Freeze aura.

My gear I usually run, based around optimizing time at the

Sacrifice of magic find is:

Helm: gface w/

Cham

Ammy: highlirds

B Armor: Enigma

Weapons: Grief phaser x2

Weapon swap: wiz spike/

Suicide Branch (hoto would be better with my ring set up) I hit 110 fcr breakpoint which decreases

Teleport to trav and hork time.

Ring a: 10 fcr / life leech

Ring b: 10 fcr / life leech

Belt: Mavinas

Belt

Boots:

Gore Rider

Charms: torch/gheeds/anni and fine charms with frw. I carry few charms to optimize inventory space to limit item management. Which is by far, the most time expensive aspect of running trav if you like to look for good rare items.

If the zone is terrorized or I want more mf. I replace gface with topazd

Shako and swap wiz spike with an Istd ali baba then put on a dual leech ring and trangs

Belt.

Hope that helps.

Yeah way better find than a single high rune. I dont think I’ve ever found anything worth more than a single

Ber or

Jah in trav. I found some wicked 30frw legit (cold/fire/lightning) tri res

Boots within the last month that could probably sell for more than that, but no one has been interested in them at the price I posted so I think I’ll keep them. They got rep life too

Still lookin for gg rare weapons.. not sure if the time spent looking is worth it. Last season my biggest score by far was a rare bow. Thought I would’ve found another awesome rare by now, but apparently they are much rarer than I thought. Probably should’ve sold that thing on jsp for max value but still shying away from that place… I miss you bitter nock hope you’re slaying out there somewhere. lol

I used something years ago but I can't recall what was that

Bob is ww barb. Currently lvl 91. Arreats and skullders, both socketed with pt. Double Grief.

Laying of Hands, trang oul

Belt, gorerider. Highlords,

Nagelring and dual leech ring. weapon swap 2x

Gull.
Maxed ww (of course), with anni and torch at lvl 30. Put 1 point (so altogether makes 11) into

Berserk for immunes.
BO (with items) 20,

Shout 9.

Find Potion and

Find Item both 28. Sword mastery 28 and

Iron Skin and resistances both 9.
Strength is 284, that makes

Berserk dmg 696-809 and ww dmg 617-715. Resistances fire and lightning 75, cold and poison 74.
Mf with charms 337%, on swap 537%.

Hope that helps any?

Haven’t been playing so much lately, gone from about 150 runs per day to like 20, but my trav rng evened out yesterday. Did probably 50 runs (not exactly sure bc I haven’t been measuring) and dropped

Lo and

Jah within like 15 runs maybe less and then got two gheeds within a few runs of each other. Got that strange compulsion to do like 200 runs straight after the

Jah fell, but was like, nah we gotta stop, this is unhealthy lol. Found a

Mal and 5 socket phaser earlier in cow games and thought it was a sign but nope made another crappy Grief. Side note, since I can’t make a good Grief phaser to save my life, I will pay

Ber for any ~390+ dam phaser. Hit me up!
