Doodle's Farming Route and Tips:
MY ROUTE:
Start from checkpoint BEFORE you kill azmodan in the core of arreat.
1) clear core of arreat to WP, teleport to Keeps 3 <- Get your 5NV in this 2 place fast becos easy to find elites in both small areas
2) continue to Keeps 2 and to Keeps 1 WP. <- high mob density zone #1
3) switch to Rakkis Crossing WP immediately, clear all the way back to Korsick Bridge WP <- high mob density zone #2
4) switch to Arreat 1, clear to tower of the damned 1, do one circle and end at WP <- high mob density zone #3
5) switch to Arreat 2, clear to tower of the cursed 1 WP (can clear the 90% sure spawn elite nearby also) <- high mob density zone #4
WP back to bastion keep and END RUN, quit and resume.
6) OPTIONAL: stonefort for keywarden IF you still have any shrine buff time remaining, (enlightenment, fortune, or fleeting)
MY TIPS:
1) get max movement speed
2) use skills that helps you travel faster
3) farm in mp where you can kill things FASTEST WITHOUT DYING AT ALL
4) about looting:
- do not pick up everything you see on the ground
- do not purposely turn back to pick up something or gold pile
- only pick up ilvl 63 rares IF they fall right on your legs or on your way
5) get at least 5 yard pickup radius to suck in gold
6) NEVER waste time identifying your stuff during runs
7) if you ever get into a dead end, do not u turn. Teleport back and WP to the next WP on your farm route.
FACTS vs SUPERSTITIONS:
1) dying a lot does not decrease your chance at getting good drops or good rolls
2) higher mp does not increase the quality of the item affix rolls.
3) All items for ACT 3 can be ilvl63 starting from MP0. so if you can kill elites faster in mp0 than mp1, the obvious choice is mp0.
4) high MF does not guarantee you more legendary drops.
5) you get more chance to get legendary by killing more in the shortest time. for example, take each mob as a lottery ticket, the more you kill, the more chances you have in winning. if you do higher mp but kill slower, although your mf may be higher, you won't be getting as much drops in the same amount of time in lower mp.
BONUS CONTENT for Wizards:
1) my build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wiza...;fZY!ZZaaZY
2) for max traveling advantage, use archon with teleport. Storm armor with Scramble.
3) notice i don't have the usual teleport skill because 97% of the time i am in archon mode.
4) reset your archon once your armor/force weapon buff expires.
5) storm armor's proc can one shot almost anything so it's a good skill to have when u on the go, no need to care about those single lonely mobs.
Feedback and Questions are welcomed.... it's my pleasure to share.
Now, i don't just quote back my post and start a new thread like that. So, for additional bonus content, here's a vid of me doing one of my runs last nite. You can see the exact route of my farm run in it. The highlights include:MY ROUTE:
