ALDO, i think you have cracked the case!
A2 Merc has a relatively low chance to hit. Blessed Aim or Visio helmet/weapons look like they make a pretty big difference.

Need to try out blessed aim as well.
Had 20.45 run last night with same set up. Had luck with RNG since it took only 15 runs to get 10m.
Tried today A5 merc with Grief/BotD setup, average run time were about 10sec slower but otherwise it was easygoing. Took 25min47 sec and 18 runs.

That was my thinking as well my friend, noticed that about him it when doing these runs.
This was a first run with blessed aim, will test some more.
Tried A5 Frenzy Merc with dual griefs and A1 Frozen Arrow Merc with Faith. A5 merc runs are a bit slower but the guy does the job. A1 merc dies heavily

Good times! I could probably beat 24 minutes but 21 is stretching it. Thatās tough!

Do you have a reference for this? I thought that was online vs offline
Iāve thought about using an enchantress but demon limb should also work for AR
Also thought about a pub cow horker just to see if thatās somehow faster

WTH, I must say the timing you guys made are in godly speed. Incredible!
I made a video earlier on on my ww barb, but unfortunately it got rejected by Youtube for too long. Took me 32min+. After seeing the timing you guys made, especially ALDO & Nethi. I felt I am so noobā¦ LOL
So I finally decided to make a Lem-ed offhand to increase my gold%, but it also slow down my speed. Re-spec-ed to berserker improved but 0def was risky, died twice. Need some times to adapt to it.
Anyway, Iām here to share some tips that I just figured out ytd. (Maybe I am the last one to know here)
While horking at tight space like travincal, there are situation that was too much item and some are not shown. So you had to run to some other angle to see it. What I figured out was just a click āFā to see it all. And youāre welcome! HAHA

hAkA, love the write up!
Gold farming is indeed its own, addictive genre of the game.
32mins is a totally fine time. My baseline run was 37:30.
When you get the time, please can you comment down your first official run.
Thereās a Ber given out every week to a random run.

Amazing run. I though in the beginning that under 20min would be doable with time and luck but no runs under 19min.

@hAkA Thanks for the tip mate, the f key zoom does work sometimes in clearing the view. Donāt be discouraged about the time, with a few practice runs, shorter time runs are easily achieveable, just experiment and practice.
@Nethi thanks bro, the <20 min point was my set goal as well :))

Excellent for first run!
I think you need to give youtube your phone number to verify your account so you can upload longer vids.
Is your Tomb reaver socketed with Lems? I think for bz barb CoT / Lemmed Tomb reaver could work well.

Will give it a try on YouTube, never tried to upload any video before this lol.
The Tomb reaver was socketed with fire res jewel and amn rune, as I want to counter conv aura. So I over stack his fire res, even the conv aura is on, my merc still have 90 fire res.
Love this thread - starting to work on improving my very cheap GF barb ā about 1300% GF at the moment but seems like I can make some relatively easy tweaks to increase that by a bit 
Lmk if you need gear. Got some spare stuff that I can give away.
