Im sorry, but this is one of the worst suggestions I have ever seen, since you will not be guaranteed the outcome of what portal is opened. I can assure you that you will struggle far more with this approach and it will force you to have organs stashed in uneven numbers at all times.

Great suggestions has already been given - always create a password game so you can re-enter the game and get full equipment. This is usually the best and safest way to farm for the torch. You could also have a backup (another player, that is around during the time, so that you can get help if needed - I have been backup for many players, though rarely been needed).

Unless you die from something unexpected and you struggle with the farming, you should consider if your build is really "ready" for this.

I am speaking with aprox. 1500 torches farming experience.

What is your issue with me? My advice was in addition to, not in-lieu of the advice of others.

I have no issue with you though I would argue that I could easily come up with some

I have an issue with bad advice, thats all. Bad suggestions is bad regardless of what context they are given?

It's actually good advice, you just misinterpreted it.

After getting the first organ, you don't close the game an make a new one but you just continue.

So if you don't disconnect, you get all 3 organs and then do Ubers.

The only difference is if you disconnect, you still have keys in your stash. Considering the price of keys, it's quite common to do it like this.

You've posted 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Each post was in direct response to one of my posts. There has been a multitude of bad advice given through out the forums during that time. You didn't feel the need to correct any of them.
You clearly have an issue with me. I highly recommended you find something else to focus on.

Do you find it odd that I responded to your posts - given the previously debate we had on those issues?

I rarely recall anyone being so arrogant as you were back then and here again "recommending" me to change my focus? Amazing really.

I have no idea why you find it odd that I commented on those threads. After all, its not like you have apologized or recognized that you were wrong back then?

Maybe if you focus on the ball instead of the player ... Its not my fault you give bad advice, is it?

Maybe someone else should change their focus, I dont know

That makes sense now, I apologize for the misunderstanding though the "interpretation" could have been avoided

Guys, guys, guys, let's be civilized and move this argument of yours into DMs, this is no place or time for that. We can still debate on the topic but let's keep it respectful.

Edit:
@topic as people already stated, it's just pure RNG. Math is right there but you can always get bad rolled aka unlucky... I would agree that firstly doing 3 organ parts is a much safer approach, although as someone who miserably failed (not because of any connection issues or anything) once to actually kill

Uber Mephisto before, even before I registered on this site so I couldn't really ask anyone else for help, is to really really make sure you can actually do all of the

Uber Tristram guys or have a backup plan. That one time I have spent over 200 Full rejuvs and still couldn't do it (killed everyone else but

Mephisto) and just gave up after many, many hours of trying. Big note here is that Lesser Portal Ubers were extremely easy and fast to kill that time and I got cocky.

And also something about

Uber Mephisto is be very careful how you deal with his HP regen which is notoriously problematic.

Never open all three portals at once. Open 1 portal and get the organ. Repeat. That way if you lose connection you can save yourself a few keys.

I think you misread the advice Knappogue gave. His advice was not to open the portal all at once and then go to the miniubers, but one after another after you killed the first miniuber, all done IN THE SAME GAME, not in different games.
You are right if you open them in different games, you could end up with identical organs, but he didn't mean that. He implied you open all three portals in the same game but didn't said it explicitly. "Repeat" is after you killed the miniuber.
I do the same when I do Ubers. One portal after another in the same game.

LE: Until I put my words in place it seems were a lot of replies Good to see that is sorted now.

I remember back to old days, rare case, I run 10 uber and get 4 sorc torch.

And when I put those 4 in market, kind of remember less than 6

Ist in return for those sorc torch... lucky or unlucky?

(it is very late stage of nl game,

Key is around 40-50 /

Jah )

Currently, I'm a lvl92

Abyss Warlock with a cursed Hephasto with

Conviction. I have pretty high-end gear and 200% lightening res. How do you think I would fare? Someone in this thread mentioned loading up on lightening charms to have 300% lightening res to not get one shotted by

Mephisto

I highly recommend getting an armor with the Treachery runeword, activating its level 16

Fade (+60 allres, +25 physres) by standing in the fire next to the

River of Flame way point. After that you can wear your original armor again. Even if everything up to this point was easy (getting the organs)..

Mephisto will wipe the floor with you if you are not prepared for his resistance reducing aura.

Interesting. So I can activate

Fade then swap back into my CoH and continue the fight? How long does

Fade last? It would be cool if there was a sticky on exactly how to run the

Pandemonium Event since it sounds super easy according to Maxroll. Apparently it is nothing of the sort

Yes, like how you can cast

Battle Orders and

Battle Command from Call To Arms and swap back to your primary weapons without losing the buffs.

Treachery provides level 15

Fade which lasts for 4 minutes and 48 seconds.

Yes, you can. It lasts for about 4 minutes.
For Ubers I prefer Enigma for mobility so I can get away quickly and position my merc.
But with warlock you can

Teleport your Heph to Meph (pun intended).
