Can someone explain this mechanic? I’ve heard several different versions:
A player with the quest yet to be completed kills a boss. This procs the MF mechanic regardless of whether that player created the game.
A player who has not yet completed the quest creates a game. Another character can now kill that boss for the bonus.
A player must create the game AND kill the boss for quest to proc the bonus
Anyone know for sure?
I personally was creating a game with a chara who didn’t kill a single boss on hell and was leaving and then join with my high sorc to kill them. It was procing the quests. Saw it from a youtuber
In a nutshell, the quest drop for bosses removes the junk treasure classes from their drop tables… Junk being gold, potions, scrolls, etc., which is why the other good loot has a better chance of dropping on the quest kill.
As far as quest drop “bug” killing:
Character1 who has completed the Baal quest creates the game. Character1 doesn’t need to stay in the game, which means you can do this process with two different characters on the same account on bnet by creating a private passworded game, leaving, then joining with the 2nd character.
Character2 joins the game, who has not yet completed the Baal quest goes and kills Baal, which counts as a quest drop from Baal… Since character1 already completed the quest, the kill doesn’t count towards quest progression for character2, and the process can be repeated indefinitely. At least thats how it works in the original game.
As TheDarkJedi above said, pretty good explanation
I would only add that quest drop has also better chance to drop set and unique items.
It is not proper quest bugging tho. Its worse version of it.
Yeah but it works, they fixed the buged quest so this is working
I am not sure what you talk about. Its same as before, they only fixed andariel. Other bosses can still be quest bug and process of how you do it is not proper quest bugging. Its same as cooley showed on youtube but he was wrong.
Didnt even know you can bug the other bosses, havent seen anyone mentioning about the other bosses that they can buged, Can you link?
Just scroll above, darkJedi explained it perfectly 
It works on every boss. Not sure about Andy after change.
Ok, i am doing then a similar thing which works as well. as i said I do the game with a chara with 0 progress and then i join with my 90 sorc and kill all boses, it counts as Q
I am not sure how good is that tho. Its definitely worse than classicquest bugging because there is gold dropping.
No actually, i never saw gold from bosses they way i am doing it. Tbh i have quit the game for a month, i dunno if it fixed that, but never saw gold from bosses that way and far better loot obv
That is strange because i have seen Cooley did it same way as you and saw gold few times.
recently? Maybe is fixed or it was a bug being fixed, as i said i quited for a month+ so dunno,. but when i used it before i didnt see any gold or bad drops that way., Anyway i think we over analize it 
Honestly no i am not playing online just like you some time. But i doubt they fixed that. It would cause outrage 
Nah, its fun to discuss game details like this, depth of D2 is so interesting as there is so much to learn even if you play 20 years.
