Looks like 136 was your star run. :slight_smile:

They were nice to me and dropped a 4% Bul Kathos ring last night.

I just couldn’t log all the runs, but good on you for logging it!

My only bragging point was my Trappers first run on the council dropped me a Unique Thresher…still not sure what to do with it.

My necy found a Unique Demonhead on a Chaos run…that went straight to my merc

Always like your progress reports Zax.

Not doing HC mode yet, don’t have the time at the moment, but I’ll get in there eventually.

My main questions:

  • Did it feel too dangerous for what the rewards are?
  • Did it take to much time compared to going after other areas?

Expected results but show how miserly this game is.

crazy :slight_smile:
and would you say that it was worth it :slight_smile: ?

You say that but the Ber and Ohm that dropped 20 Andariel runs apart last night disagree

really you’d have to log your character level, the game-mode, your MF and GF levels and the times. this is just a sequential list of items found.

not sure what you’re going to do with this lol

if you find it boring to stop and take note while you are playing, don’t forget you can always record video and post it on youtube for others to count

That can happen to. Maxroll will give you the precise odds that a ber and jah will drop from Andariel. Some get exceptional lucky (and I would say that getting both high runes in the same night counts) while the majority fall within the average +/- a standard deviation and some get quite unlucky. RNG is RNG.

I think it pretty much depends, on your build on how difficult or fast it is. I wanted to play something a little bit different than others, so I went Poison Nova ( I know its still pretty meta ). I can run a Trav run in about Id say 40 sec… maybe a bit more if there is some poison immune council and I have to rely on my summons and merc to poke at it.

My orginal build was just to run pits but like many will tell you or anyone (not assuming you dont already know, just speaking generally here) Pits gets boring. So today I started running around seeing what all was possible on Poison Nova Necro.

My runs currently are pretty long multiple target runs.

Shenk and The dude just north of the wp (forgot his name)
Then Chaos Sanc and DIablo (SUPER easy run btw)
Then Lower Kurast and instead of just looking for the fire and clicking the 3 chests (possibly 6 if there is a double fire on the map) I just clear the area and pop everything. (found lots of charms including a +1 Pcomb with Str not great but not bad!)
Then I go to Trav again Just started today on my Nova Necro but I have done this with my blizz sorc and I seems to have lots of luck with facits there…
Then I hit pits and end with Cows.

I really should start logging my runs just for fun.

Yeah, I’m a summon necro without enigma. I hate that if I outrun some of my revives they just die off, so you can go from 20 guys to like 5 out of nowhere. I seem to recall this being an issue long ago, but memory is fuzzy on this.

So I have to go to another area and once I reach an end point I’ll usually have my army ready. Then I can do travencal in 1-3 minutes. That’s where I’m at for now, so I know others are faster.

I do agree about logging loot runs, but I jump around areas so it’s a bit tricky to stick to one area. I found a cham rune the other day randomly so it’s up and down no matter where I go it seems.

Exactly my point sometimes it’s “on” sometimes you get screwed thats just how RNGesus works

Should get a teleport staff or something then, the one i have is 33 charges. Not great but not bad. It wont really be enough to tele to Andy or Meph without luck but for everything else works perfectly. Only downside is loosing 2-4 summons every switch. I mainly use it when killing baal, without it would likely double or triple the kill time which is already very Long.

Why are you farming Nightmare Travincal?

The only reason why Travincal is worth it in Hell Difficulty is because the council type monster can drop HRs.

Nightmare Travincal council can obviously not drop HRs so there is no point in running it.

If all you can farm is Nightmare then you’re way better of farming Andariel and Mephisto for the Uniques that can drop in Nightmare.

I am not sure how did you come to that conclusion. I am farming it on Hell obviously.

I already did. I did post it here for fun. Because I can? Because I like to see topics like that? some others too.

I feel like this would be a lot more time consuming.

Well yeah, I found some useful stuff, I was hoping for HR but wasnt lucky this time, hopefuly in next 200 runs.

Expected how? Why misery? I enjoyed playing and I found some stuff and most importanly i didnt die. I appretiate that.

Well I am doing it to find some Runes, I basicly switch between my MF sorc who does ancient tunnels and this Barbarian who can do Travincal. When I started doing Travincal I has lvl 75, had to use merc with blessed aim who died a lot and used Horizon tornado+Stone crusher. It wasnt easy and it took me while to clear travincal and it was sometimes dangerous. But both fire and lighting resistances are 85% and i have thundergods belt so i was surviving it well.

Later I did upgrade and switched stone crusher to main hand and in off hand PB lawbringer. That helped me to tank multiple councils at once so improvement. And today I sold my two SOJs for Lo+Mal and made grief 39% Ias, +394 so that went to main hand, I respeced to only sword mastery since i have two PB and now with grief I am farming travincal a lot faster and I dont even need merc anymore, I also leveled up there to 84.

200 travincal HELL-Difficulty runs do not yield the items you are displaying.

I play D2 for over 20 years and I know how a real Hell-Difficulty Loot Summary of 200 Travincal Runs looks like.

If this item list is real and can be trusted (I don’t think its real), then most if not all runs were made in Nightmare Difficulty.

There is nothing to be ashamed of, if you can only run Nightmare Difficulty in Hard-Core and need to gear your way up to Hell. That’s normal.

However, what I find highly misleading is you posting a thread like this attempting to imply the drop rates in D2 “need to be increased”.

Anyways…

It is unfortunate that the hundreds of thousands of people that know D2 well and know what they’re doing, are obviously not interacting on this forum. Its so annoying this forum is nothing more than a garbage can for whining, moaning, lying, begging, and insulting knowledgeable D2 Players for speaking the truth.

Is this some kind of lame trolling attempt by you?

Well it doesnt matter if you play it milion years, Your comment clearly shows that your observing skills failed you because it is Hell travincal runs.

Nope, all 200 done in Hell.

Just stop with the trolling lol. Any person here who dont believe me can join me and I will do Travincal hell runs with them to show I can do it just fine. Why would I ever farm NM travincal?

I have no clue what you talk about about. It is nonsense. I have said many times that drops are perfectly fine. I dont see these results i had as something bad or reason to increase drops, I didnt say anything like that so stop making stuff up.

Its unfortunate that you are one of people who just troll here on forums with reactions like you showed in this topic.

I’m gonna do it at 200% MF and 500% Gold Find… SC of course.

I think it got me a Mal rune, Diamond Bow 4-slots, … some unique… Water walk I think. There’s Mephisto faceroll in the end. Should be easy.

Get a teleport staff, that’s what I use on switch for my summoner. Buy a low end one from Ormus, or get the Set Elder staff (Naj’s something something) which has 60+ charges.
