i have seen ppl say:

1e

i still dont know what that is

any new ones ?

Afaik Signet cannot drop in VotA.. usual farming spots for Signet are Sewers & Dahgur Oasis (the invi snake having the best possible chance to drop Signet) ... usually ppl save VotA checkpoint to gather 5 nv first there b4 going to farm for Signet.

maybe he's just means the same but just got the phrase wrong hehe , thx for correction anyway

Gooding spot to farm signet.

1. Start at Ancient Waterway checkpoint
2. Eastern/Western channel
3. Exit from channel to Dahlgur Oasis (finish all the extra dungeons here)
4. Run up to Ruined Cistern
5. Teleport to Sewer of Caldeum.
6. Relog and repeat.

All the potential maps in 1 go. Btw I don't farm nv stack at VotA cause you can only get Manald Heal ring there.. it makes you sad and loose morale seeing a skylight ring but not Leoric's Signet By the time you complete the channels, you should have 4-5 stack of nv!

Self-found 4 signets
1 at Sewer (with 5 nv)
1 at Eastern Channel (2 nv)
1 at Ruined Cistern (3 nv)
1 at Ancient Cave Lv1 (Dahlgur Oasis) (4 nv)

inb4 farkyouRNG

the best place to farm Leoric Signet is AH

inb4 selling leoric signet

Agreed ....you can only TR MP10 normal for up to some thing before u become a zombie..

And after u farm for like ages and finally see a leg ring drop....wtf Manald Heal...ptuuuuiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!

many thanks for this thread!
Old unker now no need google at every sentence!
Gonna print this!

Kam siah!
Adding this to my D3 bible!

manald heal = wat ring ?

Manald Heal

haha thx

There is a chance of that dropping instead of Leoric's. So don't be too happy when you see a leg ring drop..ID liao you see Manald.....you will knn..ccb..back to TR

VotA's skylight ring gerenti Manald Heal

Fallen type enemy at Dahlgur Oasis also have chances to drop Manald. So jangan terlampau gembira when they drop skylight ring

so wat difficulty lv should i set to get this leoric's signet run thingy ?

Normal MP10 ... but as kwwk87 mentioned .. a leg ring dropped is a 50-50 chance of being either signet @ manald u wont know till u pick it up n id it

Yep, as mentioned from my post.

Based on my experience, Fallen type enemy (Fallen Conjurer, Fallen Master, Fallen Overseer, Fallen Peon, Fallen Shaman) will not drop Leoric's Signet. I have gotten 6 Manald Heal of 6 skylight ring from them. (Rare/Champion/trash mob)

I personally gotten my signets through:-
1. Skeleton type at Ruined Cistern.
2. Skeleton type at Eastern Channel.
3. Viper type at Sewer.
4. Carrion Bat type at Ancient Cave.

Level requirement? As high as possible I guess. I do my runs with 475% MF with 5 stack nv..

Oops, of course MP10 normal

Wat does 'carry' means?

Carry in D3 mean few things; but most commonly use in helping other people.
For example I can carry MP10 Uber. So other players who can't do MP10 can join me; I carry them MP10 uber.

I see ppl talking about carry and leveling up so if my char is Normal Lvl 32 and you Infernal Lvl60++ can carry?

Can..inferno players can play any level they one in any party.

So when we ask for cary means ..we stack +exp gears set MP10 and the Inferno player will do the killing.

That way it is possible to level up from 1-60 in 3 hours.

so a normal Lvl 32 char can play Infernal with a Infernal toon?

But after the 'carry' the Lvl32 char, now Lvl60, can jump to infernal?
or still must go thru all the acts in Nightmare>Hell>Infernal?

- Play Normal mode until lvl25, kill Normal Diablo, jump too NM (skip quest, high lvl player open game/quest)
- Play NM mode until lvl50, kill NM Diablo, jump too Hell (skip quest, high lvl player open game/quest)
- Play Hell mode until lvl60, kill Hell Diablo, jump too Inferno (skip quest, high lvl player open game/quest)
- Kill Inferno Diablo (if u want, skip quest, high lvl player open game/quest)

Liddat still need to go thro all the acts

just ask high lvl fren to open game, very very fast... no need to go through all acts/quest..

ALeUNe
How about >> Lvl 60(3) Monk with dmg 73k asking carry MP10 for Hellfire Ring PST.
wat does PST means?
why that monk need to do that?
loot drop is individual or share?

Not sure what he/she meant by PST.
Perhaps he/she wanted to tell others the time zone or region he/she is located in.

The obvious reason is to get the material for crafting hellring.
There is guaranteed drop of hellring material at MP10.

Loot is always individual. Hellring materials are account bound.

thanks.
liddat I go hunt for more keys?

If you need a hellring, then yes, hunting key is the only route for infernal machine.
By the way, make sure you've got the plan too (from keywarden at A4).

Ya Blksmith learn the plan already.

i've done mp7 key farming with 95% drop rate but the uber might have to go mp10 coz it's 100% drop rate , need carry for that

PST mostly means for Pacific Standard Time..

The Monk is looking for ppl to carry him (his timezone is PST) MP10 Hellfire Ring

any new to add ?
