With the correct amount of MF you can farm new Bobbys on a nightly basis..

Teach me how I can get enough MF for nightly Bobby-farming sessions. I seem to have that game mode still locked.

Well, I can tell you completing the runs in 1-2 minutes as sbn mentioned earlier probably won't lead to, erm, satisfying results.

Has anyone else experienced 2 Heralds at the same time? I have experienced this a few times:

In

Cold Plains after Ire stack in

Tristram
Cows after Ire stack in Trav
Catacombs lvl 3 after Ire stack in Trav

I tried to get them closer to each other in 3rd picture but already died once jumping back and forth over the wall. You can see the purple halos.

This is not a system, just dumb luck. Most of the time I never see an Ire alert in Trav. Stacks happen in small areas.

I always have Act 1 TZ.
I start by TZ Act 5 and kill

Baal and work my way down Act 5 then TZ Act 4, Act 3 ... I go to Act 1 when a 5th level Ire alert shows up. Heralds usually show up soon but not always.

Looking for a better strategy

I had two ires stacked and a

Herald spawned. Before I found it I had the second one spawned. I killed both of them but they were not so close like yours.
The most stacked ires were three.

If the idea is to make the heralds as easy to kill as possible, don't go to act 1. Spawn them in maggot lair. At least while you still have unexplored corners in it.
When a

Herald spawns in maggot lair and ends up as one of them insect

Swarm things (which they do a lot in there), even a T5

Herald literally dies in a single hit. Every time. And even if they end up a beetle or something, the lair tunnels still ensure you never get crowded as only the

Herald or one of his adds can touch you at a time, due to them all just blocking each other.
