Travincal is it worth it?

i gambled a plus 3 to cold skills on my sorc and she was a lvl 88

if you are rune hunting then after about 350 runs starts complaining… enjoy the grind!!

I got 2 tals ammys and a sorc cold skiller, best loot so far farmed for 2 days maybe more, roughly 8 hours a day maybe more, so its not bad but dont look at me for amazing loot I still have yet to see a single high rune drop, or any drop worth a high rune.

i was not really complaining. i was asking for real feedback and to hear what others had to say about farming there. yes i did hope id see a mid or high rune drop but thats the fun of it. if i had no hope of ever seeing anything id stop playing. so just saying i do enjoy farming thanks for your input

The big question is what class are you farming trav on? If you’re doing it on a Horking barb you can expect your first rune ussuslly in the 350-500 range of runs but if you’re doing it on any other class and you’re not atleast in a 3player game then its closer to 1000 runs before you see a HR because those are when your odds have a 70-80% probability of hitting based on numbers. Obviously with rng this can hit sooner but the probability of it doing so is extremely low, so you can assume you will have 350-500 runs between each HR on a horking barb but you can also get lucky and hit in lets say 50 runs

Not nearly enough runs, It can take hundreds if not thousands of runs to see the good items drop.

The loot is butt, but yes, you can get very rich very fast

Idk, I vote no. I started doing it recently too, and gold is the only thing it’s mostly good for.
Other places are better for runes, items or anything except gold. Cows, pit, chaos, Baal are best places imo

I don“t think so buddy. Gambling is just a waste of time. There is such a small chance to get unique amulet.
Tell me why barb should gamble amulet ? To try to sell it ? I saw some circlet, what people called ā€œgodlyā€ but these were far away from shako or for example arreat helm.

I got lots of orts, cathans and a few jewels.
Got more value from selling bases… really unlucky.

It’s a quick stop to add to runs. I wouldn’t run it exclusively.

Imho you should never have max gold. The second you are, spend it all gambling circlets/coronets.

For bvc you want a 2/20 gg circlet w 2 sockets. Should always be gambling your gold away once it’s full on circlets/coronets. Also shako is garbage for barbs. Arreats/gface is always a better option.

Everything I need to know.

Your expectations are too high. 100 travi runs are nothing. You need far more runs and a run shouldn’t take you more than a minute. It’s a static map and only a few council members, so even the minute is nearly too long.

For the gold part → get to lvl 93 and start gambling. you can store more than 10 mill, if you frequently run travincal, you should at least gamble for 7,5 mill and refill it.

Facts. I hit gold cap ~10mil in under an hour ona hork barb farming the rich.

Too bad gambling is a waste of time. 200 mil spent. 0 Soj’s, 1 bk, 1 low maras. /w - 30% vendor costs rings are 35k a pop… do math idk what that equates to. numbers. i are barb smash the rich and take the coins.

15 times isn’t near enough to get anything lol

you need to do probably 500+

With enough runs any place will drop some good stuff. The question is what places are best vs time to do them? The holy Trinity - cow, chaos, Baal

Odd you mention Travi. I recently added it to my MF Blizz Sorc run just for a bit of variety and quick/predictable results.

On the third run, a Jah dropped. Best rune I’ve ever found.

I know, anecdotes aren’t data, but at least for me, I’m a believer!

But, I also know, I’ve probably used up all my luck in Travi and could probably safely drop it now… :clown_face:

yes i have socketed arreat with 6 ll, it is the best option for barb.

The best ā€œhintā€ I can give… watch YouTube videos where people show off their drops. They run stuff 500 times… and then you see them say ā€œfirst significant drop on run 26ā€ā€¦ ā€œnext drop on run 48ā€ā€¦

That means they ran 20 times with no significant drop. You ran 15 times… it’s RNG. I ran Travincial 50 times and not got anything other then gold. Then I ran and clicked on one of the dead bodies leaning against something… they act like a chest… and a Mal dropped out.
