Another greed spawn is on the 'Path to Alcanus' waypoint in act 2. Seems to be about 30% for me, At the waypoint, the greed mob can spawn around there, as well as cultists, big mace wielders and some hounds. All melee mobs though and I have never seen a champion or elite right there so they are easy to kill.
You can also go immediately north for a high chance at a quest mob.
Been doing a bunch of these runs in the last few hours, just got a legendary worth over 1mil from a goblin with my magic find set. They can spawn all over this place, maybe higher than 30% spawn. Lots of random corpses and such for gold looting. I have seen maybe 4 elites spawn, however it was a named one and super low health.

If you are having trouble in Act 1, good luck in Act 2 <_< You are going to have to more than double your gear. It's insane.

Budget 1m~ per piece of equipment and you've made a start. The amount you need to really be successful in A2 is absurd compared to previous acts, though you can get away with a really good weapon and olympic gymnast kiting skills if you're wiz/dh.

In a lot of ways act 2 is the hardest act mostly because of things like the lacuni ability to leap at your while being invulnerable and has a mortar ability that can 1 shot you while not being an elite

Is it? I thought act 2 was hard coming from act 1, but after seeing tongue demons in act 3 I sure miss the lacuni.

I think Act 3 and Act 4 are harder, but because of the HUGE difference between act 1 and act 2, and the smaller difference between 2 and 3, it doesn't feel this way?

Act 2 is also hard because theres a lot of elites that you really don't want to deal with, a lot of fast-moving mobs that are essentially unavoidable.
Is prereq for A2 inferno really widely considered 1 mil per item? Holy shiiii....
So its best to do warden+butcher 5stack runs until I can afford all my parts for >1m? My gad. D:

Don't need 1mil per equipment... Just 100-200k a piece on intelligent choices.
This is for barbarian, other classes don't need anything close to that

If you want a good place to farm with crap gear, try the underbridge. It's a real easy run for a demon hunter (Use vault and smokescreen so you dont have to fight), check the underbridge for resplendet chest. Underbridge not there, or no chest in it -> leave game, resume game. Rinse and repeat.
Easiest run ever, if you want you can let tyrael clear mobs for you while you are dead.
Edit: You want to do this on inferno difficulty btw. You don't need to have act 3 unlocked, just use the 'exploit' to get into the game. Im not going into detail here, it has been said a thousand times how to do it. Before anyone wastes their time doing this....it has been nerfed (quite a while ago actually). The chest has a significantly lowered spawn rate now.
I've been doing it all day and it spawns well over 3/4 of the times I enter Underbridge.

assuming you can find them.
I swear, I havent found shoulders below 700k as a viable upgrade from mine (currently don't have allres). I try to budget 200-500k or so per piece.
I'm more or less saving up for a new weapon, I'm at 34k dps (1180 .9 2h with 20% speed), but I feel that is just too low, stuff isn't being killed fast enough. Belial is a bitch cause adds just don't die fast enough while dealing with Belial smacking me. Also health globes don't drop enough to keep me topped off, lol.
I think I almost made it to P3 once, but yeah... It's a struggle cause I'm always out of AP and seeker / attunement magic missles just don't deal enough damage.
I doubt ill ever get to the point that mobs hit for <35% of my life total to the point that prismatic armor becomes viable =\
Then again, I probably would want to keep force armor for phase 3.

yeah Ive been trying to do siegebreaker but when its not just the green arm long range nuker that one shots me but every mob with a ranged weapon, costs in repair was going over the money I was getting from farms lol.

I know what you mean. If my attention wavers even for an instant, then a spear comes out of nowhere and kills me. And all the stutter stepping gets very tiring... I'm so glad I have a crossbow because stutter stepping at more than 2 attacks a second sounds like way too much trouble. Seriously, farming is hard work.

start Siegebreaker quest, clear to Siegebreaker entrance to see if there are any elites on the way, then go to town and start clearing the signal light/catapult sections at the beginning of A3 until you get 5 stacks then kill Siegebreaker

lickers tend to be the exception to the rule for act 3. Besides that the mechanics for the mobs in act 2 work against the player more than the ones in act 3. As mentioned though its not purely this reason why the jump from act 1 to 2 is considered so hard. a big part of it deals with the leap in gear needed to do any specific act

You know there's a magic missile upgrade that makes them do more damage, right? Charged Blast is 143%, which isn't far off from AO - spammability makes it the best for bosses imo.
I don't understand the fascination with seeker in PvE where nothing attempts to dodge.

It's cause seeker turns corners, and can be used as a way to let you know you are about to walk into enemies.

I never had more than 500k during act 2 and didnt spend more than 50k on parts, as a wizard I had something like 30k dps 20k hp and 150 resists nothing extraordinarily expensive
The hardest part was belial, but with the right skillset and a lot of perseverance he went down :D

How many corners are there when fighting an Act boss like Belial, as he mentioned?
Hydra does the same thing about enemy sighting btw
