MFing the PIT crazy drops
 

I wonder if this Pit is suppose to be a secret or something, cause no one in here is talking about it. The pit in tahome highland has some really crazy drops and the exp rocks.
in last 2 days i found ss, war travs, trang belt, mav armor, sazabi sword not to mention other lower end items.
Just about every time u kill a uniq monster there there is an elite droping. I mean countles elite white, blue and rare monarcs, shakos, balrogs, sacred, shadow etc.
Anyone else in here hunt this pit?

I had heard it was crazy, but I'm too lazy to try it myself.

Oh yeah, I remember I did try it, but I only cleared the first level and didn't find anything, then the guy tells me it's level 2 that drops good after I had left, so I thought he was just shittin me.

whats your mf makin?

I do the pit all the time, it's not a secret its just the new way they do mf in 1.1. Its a lvl 85 area, I think, so it can drop most items.

I've done about 5 runs and the best thing I've found is a Lem rune, and I'm not even sure if it is good.

Too bad half of the monsters are fire immune and other half are cold immune. Makes it hard for either of my MF sorcs.

Time to make a MF barb, lol.

My amazon is almost perfect for it but the lightning immunes own her.

my mf is 411 hcl lvl 91 sorc max meteor/fire mast good static and like lvl 18 orb/15 cold mast i rock the pit easy and damn i love it. btw most of my finds were on the lvl 1 not lvl 2.. only things i got in lvl 2 is 2 raven frosts and thats all i think

lol, what act is "The Pit" in

lol..the pit is in act 1..take the black marsh waypoint

How can you amazon get owned by lightning imune? I thought you were "king" amazon.
Jus kidin.

I can clear the pit with my Multi/Strafe zon in ~4 minutes. Zon uses BOTD crusader, Enigma, and LOH. Some people say Hammerdins clear it the fastest. I disagree.

My hammerdin clears it in anywhere from 3 to 5 mins, depending on what the map is.

god dam checked it out, 75% of the mobs in there are fire resists, sucks for me :/

do you run it in a full game (ie a baal run) or make yer own private game?

Private of course, because when you make Public stupid idiotic newbs come in there saying " I need FREE!!! PTPTPPT" And , "HEY GUYS I JUST WENT TO VRITEMS.COM AND NOW I OWN LVL 99'S WITH MY DUELER! GO THERE NOW FOR GREAT DEALS." Etc....

run full games if you can take it, more people better drops i always say, who cares about the chat

I dont think the qty of people helps to much with the quality of the drops - but more with the quantity of drops - which in effect gives you a better chance of getting a good item to fall per game. More items = more chances

The pit is a good spot to MF games b/c most people don't run it. You find alot of games where meph has been run already - but rarely do you find someone has run The Pit.

As I remember, the quantity of people in a game merely reduced the chances of a 'No-Drop'.

It does not improve the odds of finding unique/set items (which is based upon your MF), or better chances for exceptional/elite items to drop (which is based on Clvl).

I was thinking you guys were nuts until I tried it. Nothing great so far but very high level items dropping. (2 vortex sheilds in one run? How often you see that..)

The best char to mf the pit, i would imagine, would be a bonemancer of some kind.

I have hit the pit for several days with MF zon and gotten nothing special in terms of gear. Did get an Ist rune, but that is pure luck. This lvl 99 zon has about 475 in MF and has no problem clearing the two levels.

Bad luck for you, I've found many elite items there...

FYI, my bot will be the FIRST to release a 'The Pit' bot :)

I find a lot of elite items, but my Unique/Set findings on like 30+ runs are limited to Goldstrike Arch, Jade Tan Do, some other useless unique, and about 15 isenharts armors and sigon's house.

I did some Pit Runs and i found Nothing.

I prefer killing Pindle other than make a "long journey" through The Pit.

Same here. I recently quit using maphack..for the third time (im paranoid of getting my acct banned, and now that i have 2 godly stuff i dont want to lose it at all, MY BOTD AND ENIGMA!!!!) and pindle has been a better choice. IT takes less time to reach him. Unfortunatly his ddrops are shit but apparently, so are most hte drops in the pit.

Drop rates in the pits are astounding, but if you can bot pindle or something, then the quanity of runs you get with pindle compared to manual pit runs.. is overwhelming :)

Finally
 

Proof of the competency of The Pit! Finally, something worthwhile!

Did you realy find that armor in the pits? Someone told me that can only drop in Hell Act 5.

Yes, I did. No, monsters in The Pit can drop any item in the game.

Nice job man....I gotta get my pit runner leveled....

wow i think i might have 2 get my lad zon out again and do sum Pit runs.

she got about 20x 7 mfsc and perf mf% gheeds and enigma so she should find something worthwhile

Any place with an ilvl of 85 can drop anything in the game.

what would u guys say the best pit runner is all around? i try with my light trap assassin but when i come across those chicks with bows they rape the heck out of me cause there immune to light. (it just came across to me that i might wanna lvl my merc :P)

I personally use a Lightning Javazon. She works well, but you need a good merc to kill the lit immunes.

I have found a grandfather sword in the pit. I dont think mf really helps. Beucause i have none and i find tons of good items. Mf to me is worthless. I have found a gf and ik armour all with 0 mf.

MF helps, but it isn't everything. Item-hunting is mainly a lot of luck. You can help yourself by equipping MF gear, instead of it being completely random, like Runes.

Awesome !

Just found a SUR rune doing PIT Runs

That's the highest Rune I've always found :)

What was it you found? I see the poison nova screen shot - Is it an elite armor with poison nova?

??? Look again... It's a set Sacred Armor.

Hey could we ever start a sticky thread with, mf findings-how much mf u had on-where- what lvl char- maybe we can get out some statistics on drops or something? :) tru mf'er 4 life
