Anyone have any good advice on how to fund durance 3 quickly? I’ve done some googling but all the tips i found were kind of hard to wrap my head around, any help would be greatly appreciated
You could use a fast character like Paladin with Vigor to run either always along the wall to the right or to the left and never change the direction from sticking to the outer wall. This can be done with other characters but a faster running character is more efficient for run times.
Another option is teleport in that same manner but in a way to cover more of the map faster.

Here is a nice picture with possible map layouts.

It’s always from your POV, not the characters.

i also read about trying to find a “good map” does the map layout stay roughly the same after you save and exit at the end of a run?
This only applies to single player
one last question, occasionally im getting maps where i look at the waypoint set up and follow the directions given but im unable to go “right and up” for example, like this last run i did i was supposed to go “right and up” but was forced to go down and left to find lvl 3
Sometimes the map is slightly different yes, but the picture is valid for me about 90% of the runs.
okay tyvm, i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, working much better now 
Theres a video of Llamasc explaining it, hes a really good player and prob the best streamer out there. However i watched it and didnt undersand anything, so idk maybe you enjoy it.

Durance level 3 is almost always on your character’s left (if you’re looking at the screen, your actual right; which is what the graphic linked is displaying). The best strategy is to look at your character and see which way its facing as you enter the waypoint, determine which way is left for your character, then search the map following the wall closest to the waypoint in a clockwise or counter clockwise rotation.
There is over 50 diffrent map layouts so not really
All you really need to know is that you should hug the wall to the left side of where the entrance to the waypoint is. How the entrance to Durance of Hate level 3 looks will become familiar if you run a few runs. The entrance is not always directly to the left be it usually is somewhere to the left side of the map or close to the waypoint. Position your character towards the entrance at the waypoint and go left. Going left is way more accurate than going right which has a much higher chance of taking you around the whole map.
