Attention MFers

[Vollstrecker]

Do you want to do Pit Runs, but your only good character is your MF Cold and/or Fire Sorc?

Good news! You can share in the same sort of fun, but WITHOUT watching for Immune Monsters.

Your dream-home is the Mausoleum. All the monsters in there are undead, and EVERY ONE OF THEM IS ONLY IMMUNE TO LIGHTNING. The best part, all have the same drops as The Pit.

Directions: Take the Cold Plains waypoint and head for Blood Raven. The Mausoleum is the one to the upper-right.

Happy Hunting!

[tokill.ace]

nice ill try out some runes see how it goes thx volls

[celaron]

well, u need mh to find the correct way...
(pitruns do not need mh to be found fast... outer closter, then ran back, alswas along the "way" in the game... and tadaaa, the pit ;) )

[tidus2005]

you really dont need mh because the cold plains is fiarly small and if you just follow the edges you will find where it makes a little cove and you will find the Mausoleum.

[platnum]

Thats pretty dope, thx for the info. I will my results later.

[celaron]

following the edge is very shitty way, sry, then i prefer pindl or eldritch.....

i got a fire only sorc, sounds good for her, pit is full with fire imunes...
so my merc had to kill them in pit...

[Zaphnathpaaneah]

omg vol u now figuring this out?shit ive seen this fucking listed as a cheat on some sites back in 2000.

[celaron]

i'd have never figure it out ;)

thx voll
@listed as a cheat: ??? aha, well, if u think so, i'd call it a hint, not a cheat, but thats my thought. i need help on the antidetection-cause... than i'll do some mf runs again ^^

[Zaphnathpaaneah]

i never said it was a cheat but some site have it under as a cheat go figure.

[Death]

Ill try it :D
used 2 do pit with smite pala (dont laugh ^_^ ) , that works good I can tell ya.

gris shield 3 ist , gris weapon 4 ist (or ali ist ist) (or 6 socketed PB 6*ist) , enigma , coa 2*PT (yes perfect topaz) and some other mf shit....

[iceman887]

OMG SWEET!!!!!!!!! this is kinda awesome and in a away bad, since i heard about pit runs all i have been trying to do is get enigma for my pala, i did but i lost really good items i could have used, now pit runs suck and i lost my soj for my sorc so damn it but also good because i can do fast runs with my sorc but i lost a soj i could have used on my sorc to make the mause runs even faster dam ntiswtyjoiesa7yj43a9h43wa98-hs754754sw8d65r8d485874de7

[osmoses-jones]

so vol does that have they same drop like baal are the lvl82 or higher and can they drop like baal drops

[celaron]

i did not look it up....
i think lvl85, arnt they?

[Sovereign]

Last I heard, the Pit's monsters are at LvL 85. So from what I understand, they can drop most items in the game but not all of them.

[!King_Amazon!]

omg vol u now figuring this out?shit ive seen this fucking listed as a cheat on some sites back in 2000.

In 2000? That was like patch 1.06 or something. I'm pretty sure the pit wasn't "the place to be" in 2000, nor was the mausoleum, it was all about meph and pindle.

[zagggon]

lmao going to the masoleum is a cheat?! HolyFucvk what is that kid eating?

[osmoses-jones]

i did mosulem i found all light imune but sometimes it have fire or cold imune too randamly i think

[jabberwock]

i did mosulem i found all light imune but sometimes it have fire or cold imune too randamly i think

Dunno about that. I did 10 mauseleum and crypt runs tonight and found nothing but lightning/physical immunes.

[osmoses-jones]

i found light and physical imune but sometime unique monster there have fire or cold imune sometimes

[dam]

Ive done about 1hours worth of mf in there nothing good and only one imune to cold monster.... all lighting and physical imune.....i'm running around with 456%mf....

d

[jabberwock]

OK after running for another hour after my first post, yea there is maybe one or two that are cold immune. Didn't find anything good. Some mid-level uniques but nothing godly. Did find a HEL rune tho.

[dgpnd81]

ima try it and ill post findings

[Vollstrecker]

omg vol u now figuring this out?shit ive seen this fucking listed as a cheat on some sites back in 2000.

No, actually, I just bothered POSTING it now...

Since you're so leet, we want a dupe method by Friday.

[jabberwock]

:D Can we have it by Friday morning so I can try it by the time I play? heheh

[dgpnd81]

k well i got 508 mf, i did runs for about an hour and this what i got.....cold skill grand charm(no mod), cruel runic talons(219%), trang helm, + 3 eschutas. plus some mid lvl stuff. so thx again voll

[Vollstrecker]

No problem. More nifty stuff when I get ahold of it.

[dgpnd81]

awaiting any juicy tidbits with great anticipation bro

[dgpnd81]

oh curiosity man, how do i go up in member rankings?

[Vollstrecker]

Keep it on topic, check your thread, and please don't double post. If you need to add something, utilize the Edit feature.

[iceman887]

dgpnd are u just killing the monsters or are u also like destroying all the barrels and opening chests and everything?

[slaynish]

What? I ALWAYS destroy the barrels. Its fuxin FUN!

[PureRebel]

Thx for The Info Voll i never knew mosoleum was good for mfing.

[DarkXSavior]

yea gj volls , i'll try the it later

[jabberwock]

OK, more runs last night. A few mid-level runes, a few exceptional uniques, nothing worth mentioning. Did find more cold immunes and an occassional fire immune.

I did find out that it was a decent place to level my lvl 60something merc. He helped out against the fire immunes.

One question. Why mausoleum and no mention of the Crypt?

[Vollstrecker]

The Crypt is only mlvl 83. A Unique Monster there can't drop the TC 87 items (Azurewrath, Tyrael's Might). ^_^

You need mlvl 85 for champions (drop at +2 which = 87)/uniques (which uniques and minions all drop at +3 = 88) to drop ANYTHING.

[jabberwock]

Tx Voll. I see I have a lot to read up on (mlvl, etc). So, what I gather here (again, total noob really) is that I can skip all the regular monsters and go for the uniques/champions when I run the mausoleum.

[celaron]

if i understand what voll's knowledge wants to teach me...
, I should also kill the MINIONS of a unique monster??!!!
do they also got a higher lvl???(+3???)

[Vollstrecker]

I can skip all the regular monsters and go for the uniques/champions when I run the mausoleum.

I wouldn't. All the monsters are capable of dropping anything EXCEPT TC 87 (Tyrael's/Azurewrath).

The Champions, Uniques (and unique minions) can drop ANYTHING AT ALL.

Also, the Chaos Sanctuary and River of Flame are the same way in A4.

The entire Worldstone Keep (Level 1, 2, Throne) in A5 is the same way.

[jabberwock]

Tx again Voll. I gotta lvl up my merc enough for A4/A5 hell. He can barely survive in A1 :) Guess I shouldn't be too lazy. I found even at level 83, I can level maybe every other day if I do the following runs (exp shrines help too):

Since I don't bot, this is how I MF now:

Meph
Pindle
ressurect merc
Frigid highlands (that guy just up past the wp)
Mausoleum (where he dies towards the end)

Repeat process.

[Vollstrecker]

My current MF plan is to join full games (usually duel games) with my Hammerdin, and do the following:

Countess
Pit
Mausoleum
Summoner
Meph
Diablo
Eldritch
Shenk
Thresh Socket
Pindleskin (if available)

It's not too bad. I've been dueling more with my WWsin than doing anything else though.

thats a damn smart idea ^_^

[celaron]

however, i think, with MH, countness is it worth!
10-20 sec/run with teleport

and every 200 runs um or up to vex rune ...

once i found ist+um one day (without mh, so it was GAYYYY)
in 3 days running: mal, ist, ist, um, pul, 4 lem
i think thats worth it...
if u find unique items.. they arent worth anything now! tals armor for 40pgems(thats pul+lem ~) and u cant trade the items, noone wants it....

--> one needs runes! --> best i think is countness

have fun =)

[Vollstrecker]

Even Vex rune is < Ethereal Zerker, WS, War Pike, [insert other elite here]

My Hammerdin doesn't really even use MF anymore.

[celaron]

well, i really dont know, what (eth) socket stuff is needed....
how many socks, and must be etheral?.... dunno :rolleyes:

so countess is better, for my stupidness ;)

[iceman887]

celaron when you did countess, were u in full game? i need vex bad

[dam]

last night i got to play D2 FOR 1/2 an hour and i used 445% for mephy and mausoleum and i found

Gheed 36%
2x Shaft stops
stormshield
and bonehew

on one run...... nice ..... so I'm going to do a all nighter in there tonight

d

[iceman887]

nice man nice

[jabberwock]

last night i got to play D2 FOR 1/2 an hour and i used 445% for mephy and mausoleum and i found

AUUUGH!!! I've leveled 3 times since I last checked for 445%.. Been wondering why I haven't found much lately. Forgot to reconfigure my mf back to 445 after levelling.

[ExT]

I think i'm the person with the worst luck in D2lod :(

In one afternoon of countess, the best one i found is ko... and the rest were nef and ith or some more low rune :(

Actutally, i never got a good rune off countess.

[Gimbo]

The so-called "pit" monsters or monsters in all "cave-like" dwellings in hell act 1 are lvl 82 but the important thing is the uber chest because all the cave-like dwellings have and area lvl of 85 - or so i've heard

[Vollstrecker]

Here, look at this:

http://home.t-online.de/home/320071388834-0001/games/D2X_110_MF_Guide_ENG.htm#level

That's where I get my info on it.

Edit: Also, even on Arreat Summit it states that mlvl of Devilkin in Hell are 85...

[celaron]

ni, i made the runs alone, because a month ago, when i did them, there was no shitty waiting for making a game... now there are too many bot users on europe!
--> up to 200 waitings....

to the uniques to be found at meph: nice, but i got tonns of them, and i cant sell the, i wont get 5pgems(perfect gems) for them, because of the bots, there are not valuable...

make 2 days countness, and i am pretty shure, u'll find at least a mal, or even a ist, and some lem, pul, um!!!

i'll look it up, but i think, every 600 runs ~, u find a um rune! (45sec/run)
--> in 7.5 hours, u should find at least a lem, pul and um...
thats only theory, i know, but if ur lucky... blabla ;)


here the stats for countness!!!!! :

RUNES: ............ DROP CHANCE ........ avgdrop
Fal-Rune: ............ 0.4701207% ............ 1:213
Lem-Rune ............ 0.3135744% ............ 1:319
Pul-Rune ............ 0.2360572% ............ 1:424
Um-Rune ............ 0.157412% ............ 1:635
Mal-Rune ............ 0.1351686% ............ 1:740
Ist-Rune ............ 0.0901257% ............ 1:1110

[jabberwock]

Ahhh so much info Voll! Thanks for the link to that page. Lightly read it and has very good info for the wanna-be mf'er noob like me.
