Not worth farming big bosses without NV, imo. 5stack NV guarantees at least 2 rares. anytime I kill bosses without 5stack NV I get garbage, even with 216 MF. =/ | ||

I've played around doing siegebreaker with just 1-2 stacks (the stacks you would just normally get from clearing area in front of siegebreaker from the waypoint + the elite in the underbridge) but it just did not seem worth the time as I don't think I've ever seen a rare drop from just 1 or 2 stacks. There is a also lot of talk about MF not working with end bosses and that does seem to jive with my personal experiences. IMO if you're solo you should do 5 stack siegebreaker, and if you have a group of 4 to run concurrent underbridge chest farming that seems better than 5 stack siegebreaker in the long run. On that note what do people think of spider queen + azmodan runs? Worth it or just stick with siegebreaker? | ||

On lucky runs this takes about 30 minutes (gussed, since I never actually looked at the time), but if you're unlucky it takes upwards of 1 hour or you just end up frustrated and start all over hoping for a better run... | ||

I think if you're capable of clearing SQ/Azmo quickly (needs a little bit better gear/skill than siegebreaker, no tyrael, mob types are a little worse in arreat crater, as well as SQ/azmo being harder than SB), it's definitely better, as you're guaranteed more rares from two bosses with NV. Personally I find siegebreaker really easy and efficient, so I stick with them, but sometimes for a change of scenery I'll do some azmo runs. | ||

Personally I find siegebreaker really easy and efficient, so I stick with them, but sometimes for a change of scenery I'll do some azmo runs. Well yes 2 bosses = more guaranteed rares but siegebreaker runs are invariably linked to the chance of getting 2 resplendent chests (underbridge and caverns of frost/keep depending on your class and which dungeon mobs are better for you). Like when I run siegebreaker I start/reload game until underbridge respawns so I have a chance for the chest since there's a guaranteed elite pack in there so that's my first stack. Then I get the rest of my stacks clearing caverns of frost which AFAIK has a guaranteed chest on the 2nd floor. So it's like 2 bosses or 1 boss + chance @ 2 chests (since I *think* caverns of frost doesn't always spawn but I've never seen it not spawn... maybe I'm just lucky?). Time is also a factor in terms of which you can do faster. No idea how long a SQ/Azmodan run would take. Siegebreaker runs usually are 30-40 mins for me. Also are SQ/Azmodan loot any better? What about A4 stuff? | ||

What about A4 stuff? Caverns of frost is not a garanteed spawn - sometimes a cave called cave of icefell or something like that spawns instead. I know this from countless runs getting the pieces for the whimsyshire staff lol. | ||

What about A4 stuff? The chests definitely make up for it, but SQ/azmo is quicker for 2 bosses, in my experience. (60k dps, 35k hp, 600res), but I will sometimes get hung up in arreat crater on obnoxious phasebeast elites. The Caverns of frost/ice fall caves are 100% spawn(one or the other), but they also occasionally have obnoxious burrowing leaper guy elites. The underbridge is about 50% spawn in my experience, with about 25%ish? chance of chest spawn. Their loot seems about equivalent in my experience. Haven't tried doing any NV stack farming in Act 4 yet, the mobs seem a little too annoying for my tastes, heh. I honestly think Siege/SQ/azmo are fairly similar, but I think you can eek out a little more bang for your buck with SQ/azmo if you're rolling through it. Like I said before though, I actually prefer siege runs, just because SQ/azmo runs irritate me more, 'cause I find the mob types a little more annoying, lol. | ||

This is the best place to farm at the moment with Gold Find and Magic Find with 5 NV. Even after the nerf on the jars it still easy and safe for bots or players who want to play it this way. Unknown to the botters, the entire AH will be devoid of players and controlled purely by 2 factors: Bots that are buying out cheap crap players are putting up immediately so players can sell cheap to bots. Bots then put the items back up for about 75% of the normal going rate to make a profit off these specific items. These are in turn bought by another bot which puts it up at 95%. These items are not bought. This then pushes the gold farming bots to farm more gold. These bots bring in a infinite supply of gold into the AH to buy more items at cheap rates or medium rates to resell. They also off set the cost. The bots continue to bring in gold and trade gold on the AH automatically until basically prices become inflated due to lack of players actually farming/needing/buying items because they cannot compete against a bot that farms gold 20 hours a day | ||

Ferret + gold find gear + vault with the ability that autoshoot arrows = fastest gold of my life. | ||

 Made about 5 million from that day of just siege, which isn't too shabby.Still I wish I had more time to farm like those streamers so that I can also get 200k dps... | ||
