What's the point? Aspect farming in act 4 is 100 times easier, safer, more rewarding, and will likely get patched soon, so do it while you can! I've made 1-2 mil gold per hour doing them, running 179 base magic find and 20k dps. Trick is to ignore leah/mira and only do the butterfly chick and the blood dude(forgot both their names).

Step 4: Talk to whoever spawns and kill them, you will probably have to ignore mira and just relog if she spawns.

Step 5: Enjoy the easiest and most broken farm in the game that will definitely get patched very soon, otherwise this game is duuuuuumb.

Note: This can be done even if you haven't unlocked act 4. Simply just choose the quest on hell -> leave game -> join pub -> leave game -> play it on inferno.

What's worse is that as DH there are ways to glitch the blood dude so you take 0 damage, and the butterfly chick only attacks Tyrael. ZERO effort farming.

How many champion packs would you have killed in those 7 times? You can do this like 30-40 times an hour if you are fast. I've gotten 6 items with 900+ dps now, and bought out most of the top-end gear available. And yeah you farm this mainly for the weapons and occasional unique/set. If you want yellow armors you are better off act 3 boss running. This method is meant to be easy simple and effortless, no need to kite for hours. Also remember you have no neph buff while doing this, so it is normal for other mobs to give better shit, although your mf is quite high as well.

The chance is different depend on where are you looting from (champion boss has higher chance etc...). Pretty sure out of all things Yellow chest has the highest chance for you to find stuff.

i did like 20 runs now, but didnt get anything good. 1-3 blues all the time. did you get rares before the hotfix?

i really dont like the way blizzard is going with this game. d2 was the exact same thing as aspect runs and it was a LOT more fun, the thrill of actually finding something really good. if blizzard continues to nerf all the good grinding spots, this game isnt going to be as successfull as d2 was long-term

Don't think aspects are good anymore, doesn't matter if they're nerfed or not, few days ago 900 dps weapons sold easily for a million, now it's 100-200k. First 2 quests in A3 are decent, no super annoying mobs, pretty decent loot and enough elites to make it, with a bit of luck, worthwhile as long as you can do it reasonably fast.

Leah isn't the one your suppose to be farming. Go past Leah and to Silver Spire Level 1. Mira is really hard but the other two are doable. Kul you just have to kite around or get him caught between you and Tyreal.

I can confirm, putting my MF gear just before a kill almost always gives a yellow at 199% MF with 5Valor.



Best place in A3 is siegebreaker.

Step 1: Start "Kill Siegebreaker" quest. This will give you the waypoint just before killing him.
Step 2: Do the bridge (2-3 champs there).
Step 3: Do the Keep level 1,2,3
Step 4 if necessary: Do the remparts to get to 5 stacks
Step 5: Go back to last waypoint before siegebreaker and kill him

Advantage of farming route:
-You get Tyrael. He helps A LOT.
-Bridge and dungeons have a lot of corners and doors making it easy to LoS some packs
-Siegebreaker is really easy if you are ranged
-You have a lot of options as to where you can farm your stacks, if a pack is too hard just skip it and go somewhere else
-Its A3, Siegebreaker has a chance to give some of the best stuff

There is a good act 3 yellow chest + loot goblin run off of the Act 3 siege breaker check point, from there you go back to to the right and there is a side area called "underbridge" it's a rather small area with only 4 random maps and always either a yellow chest, loot goblin or both, a run takes under 1min and I've made probably 20mil off it in the last two days. Also a few elites in there if you have an already stacked char that can drop them quickly.

Siege breaker is no way nerfed, or maybe it was super super easy before.

I'm a Wizard with pretty good gear and I can run the bridge in about an hour and kill the fat beast in the end. Also you can abuse Tyrael in a way that if you die, he will keep killing the elites for you. Really handy for those reflect damage-shielding etc. types.

Siege breaker run is by far the best farm for ranged characters atm in my opinion.

This on EU.

Basically the more good rolls and high dps items on the auction house the less of a chance you will roll a comparable item, at least thats what I think he meant.

I feel bad for the people that wern't able to exploit spots early on that flooded the market, now almost everything you find is worthless and it is ridiculously hard to make money.

I've mostly just going to the aspect, killing that, killing 3-4-5 elite camps, going to izual, killing him, killing the next aspect on the lvl 2 spire, rinse and repeat. Still making around 1-3 mil per hour depending on luck, sometimes if a gay elite spawn camps I have to reset =/ Those facking charging hell angel thingys with shielding are pretty much unkillable.

MF doesn't matter with aspects at all, you will always get 1-2 blues, and very rarely a yellow. In fact MF is pretty useless to have period, I love selling items with "seeking" prefixes for high prices, knowing that it will rarely be worth the investment.

NV is all you need for bosses, MF doesn't effect them at all. For general elites/champs, MF will only increase the chance of getting a yellow(since blues drop 100% anyways), but with enough NV stacks, yellows will almost always drop as well. For legendaries, having MF is like buying lottery tickets, aka shit.

Just kill shit fast and effectively and you'll probably make more money in the long run than someone with a MF set.

Having 200 MF will increase your chance of finding a magic weapon/armor by 3, but you will get nowhere near that amount once you understand how the MF mechanic works.
