Lunch Loot



Shen Long Fist & again another Jousting Mail

Today seems to be a good Loot day for me 6 legs in the morning and still continue to drop

Btw all drops were from MP0 speed gold/xp runs

Afaik higher MP will give more affix roll on rares (more affix = better chance to get good ones) & also higher chance for that xtra loot drop ... imho its still more efficient to farm in mp0-1 unless u hv godly gears and crazy dps to steamroll over high mp.

Lolz all i wrote was "good loot" day for me .. as being lucky all i can say thus far lady luck has not smiled on me yet haha .. well u need to hv a good ratio of loot dropped then only the luck factor comes into play ... u can be the luckiest guy alive but with 0 drops it adds up to nothing lolz.

I will post the ID'ed legs IF its anything worth seeing (i,e good roll) .. normally i keep all the legs i drop from same day till end of the day @ when it fills up 1 tab of my stash (whichever comes 1st) then i will ID 1 by 1.

In my case it would be my TWH with 122 vit + 31 ar being the random rolls .. Azmo drop in a mp0 public game lolz

Keep on grinding guys RNG hv to give in one day eventually

I found a second TWH but below average roll .. lightning resist + 7 pickup radius

On a side note, 2 more legs drop .. stormcrow & 300th spear

Now must get back to farming haha

Mine is 60% Elite packs, 30% white mobs, 9% gobs (even those that spawns from my Templar's Puzzle Ring) & the rare occasion 1% from resp chest.
I hv to say that i've been getting most of my "considered good" drops from Event Bosses (eg Spyglass & help Lieutenant Lavail in Rakkis)

Gold farming doesnt slow me down due to my +43 pickup radius muahahaha
I just run at max speed all the way (Jaunt + Stalker = more than 24%MS) and 1-shot any large pack of mobs using Acid Rain. 800k-1m gold per hour easily .. 40-50m xp per hour also helps me level up my Paragon faster.
Any legs or gloves/rings/ammy (the only rares i pickup) are just bonus.

My bad .. i misread the line u said "slower"
For more challenge do mp10 lolz ... surely not boring but dying many times can get FRUSTRATING especially after taking so long to kill a pack and still get crappy loot

Loot from dis morning farming session..



Was so happy to see brown belt skylight but after ID not a dex roll (my DH wants a TWH)
I hv yet to drop a high dps sickle @ diggers with sockets .. i guess hv to keep trying

I see your point .. maybe bcos i was hoping for a dex TWH dats why i didnt see the +ve side of it haha
100 intel is equivalent to 10 All Resist?
Maybe i'll try equip it on my barb later and see how much dps gain.

afaik from stuff i read in forums n blue post from mods:
MF helps get more affix on an item BUT since LEGS have fixed number of affix, it can be said MF does not affects LEGS but for RARES its a diff story.
Higher MP other than giving u increased MF, also gives better chance to get that extra item drop (so this increase your chance to get a LEG or double LEG drop from same pack)
Quality wise for LEG roll, i dont think high mp hv any difference with low mp .. so if u are leg farming .. its more efficient to do it on low mp... anyhow if u hv godly gears which enable u to farm high mp efficently, go for it bcos u hv better chance to get those jackpot rares 1h wpn/ammy/rings (high MP = more MF = more affix on rares = more chance to get jackpot rares).
btw me oso no sifu just sharing info from stuffs i read n own playing experience

roll on LEGS are influence by RNG afaik so high MP that give high MF wont affect it
my TWH with 122 vit + 31 AR roll came from mp0 public game

Thats exactly my point
RARE rings/ammys i found on my speed run (mp0/mp1) 70% of the time have 4 or less affix BUT on my key runs (mp5-7) they roll more affixes... therefore its better to do high mp runs if you aim to get better RARES (more affix = more chance for high value affixes).
IF you're more into getting LEG drops .. its pretty obvious low mp is the way to go ... faster killing time equates to more chance to drop LEGS .. more legs = more chance for better rolls

Personally, if not trying to grind paragon level, i prefer to do higher mp runs bcos as gladfly pointed out the probability of a leg drop is very low and having higher MF wont increase that chance much ... even after u do get leg drop, its down to RNG for the rolls to be godly. So to really get the most out of MF ... i aim for jackpot rares (1h wpn/gloves/rings/ammy) since higher MP = higher MF cap ... higher MF = more affix roll on rares .. in theory u are increasing your chances to get a well rolled RARE items that can sell for lotsa gold. As i've pointed out in my earlier post, LEGS have fixed number of affix so high MF wont do anything to change that.

Hopefully my ramblings made some sense lolz

For what its worth ... if u spend rm200 on a game just to spend few hrs a day staring at screen for items on AH and still get satisfaction from it .. so be it lolz .. u might recoup your initial investment buying the game but imho u could make more real money applying that knowledge to forex trading etc.

As for me, personally i get more satisfaction playing the game, see my toons develop with better gears & hv a sense of pride that i achieve all that through drops i get myself. I might not have hundred of millions or even billions of gold at one time (since i use my gold to get my toons better gears) but i'm happy with the time i spend on this game.

Act 3 Mp2 15 Speed runs .. 12 brimstones lolz
Almost gave up & go to sleep, then i joined my fren's mp6 game Act2 (he was doin key runs) .. 2 green drops in that game .. IK Helm & Inna Pants .. still unid.

Took a short break from my editing work n did 3 runs:
1st run - Ivory Tower (str8 away brim).
2nd run - spawn at azmo lair entrance n first mob i saw was a gob .. killed it n it dropped Nats Boot .. yeay! my 1st time.
3rd run - ToTD & Frostburn ... nearly brim the Frostburn then i remembered Henry looking for 30% cold skill Frosty ... u still want it bro?

Last nite i did ubers @ mp8 with amiranna, faheem & kenji .. our second run it started to rain legs as we getting nv stack .. 1st me then faheem then amir then me again lolz (sampai 2 grand wizier, inna favor.. faheem got skorn & sumth else) .. finally after killing SB@ZK (i cant remember) i saw 2 skylights .. 1 organ the other was a bracer .. so dem happy alrdy .. uber leg drop must be lacuni .. sekali pikap .. janji hampa (promise of glory) hahaha

u guys shud stop talking about lacuni with CC until i drop one myself .. dem jelly lor haha

In terms of raw dps boost between WD mojos & Wiz orbs .. Triumvirate beats Uhkapian Serpent hands down .. the 18% total elemental dmg boost is way too high to be offset by slightly higher avg dmg.

Did Act 2 key run @ mp6 for 8-9 times & not a single key drop (0 legs as well) .. changed to mp5 to do faster runs and this ...

If i can 1-shot mobs in mp3 why shud i 1-shot in mp0 .. clearly i get more xp n more gold in mp3 per hour .. yeah its capped at 300% MF & GF if u play mp0 .. another reason to play higher mp (provided u can kill at same speed like mp0) for xtra 25% MF & GF per mp lvl .. eg on mp3 MF & GF is capped at 375%.
