Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

T6 Core of Arreat runs...best with a DH runner. to clear chests fast.
DH Runnner: Vault-action shot, Danettas sets, usain bolt wrists.


Park your 3 chars on the teleport, max MF gear if you want and lots of EHP to retrieve legends. Have the runner go to checkpoint and run backwards....

easy peezy. Averaging 3-4 legends an hour per character.

Re: Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

Can you show skills in battle.net calculator?

BTW - I love play with wizards.. If I'll do it with DH, generally I'll receive awesome gear for DH ;)

Btw. I maxed out 300% MF on the leechers and I think it makes a big difference....

Re: Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

I tried plenty of farming routes but still this one is the best. I'm running it a little differently tho. I do it in Torment I with my team of Wizards, I open all the demonic jars (whatever their name is), kill the elites and goblins. That's 1-3 elite pack per run, and 1 goblin every 4-5 runs. Plus I have my main character wearing those bracers that pops an elite on every shrine (I find a shrine on every other run approx).

It takes me about 3 minutes to full clear (where I'm sure a DH with appropriate gear can do it in like 30s, skipping all packs). Also I can still earn some XP since it's Torment I... and I can find some yellow pools in there. Since I can't die in Torment I, it's a nice XP buff.

I found out that 50% of legendaries come from elite killing, and 50% from jars opening. And that's definitely more than 3-4 legendaries per hour. More like ~10 an hour (for the whole team, not per character). Some of them are plans tho.

Oh, and I'm not wearing any MF stuff. I used to have 200%-250% equiped on all of my characters (all of them using that nice Sun Keeper +45% MF mace), I replaced all that with new DPS gear (of course I cautiously stashed all the MF gear) and really think it doesn't make any difference. Or, I believe than bonus from "Strength in numbers" (being in a team of 4) is way more important than bonus from gear. Of course, nothing of all that is shown in the tootip...

Re: Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

Yes I can do it like you, but speed it's a problem.. I did many runs with wizard through core, but I'm curios how it will work with mf geaf at T6.
I bought this gear for all team, but I never play with DH so I need to sort this out somehow :)

Re: Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

DH is definitely the fastest. don't waste time with other classes. Nothing comes close. With bracers+Hot Pursuit+Tactical+discplacement = 281% MOVEMENT SPEED.

Do not kill elites. waste of time. Get the chests and be out.

The best way to do it is with 2 people. One runner, and then Mbox the remaining 3

Solo works, but suggest running it forward, and get homing pad shoulders to TP out at the top.

Re: Legendary Cheese farming for Chests

You are certainly right in terms of getting legendaries. However, that's one hour during which you'll get 0 XP, so IMHO that's time and effort spend to only collect gear that obviously will be obsolete in a few days when RoS comes live.

I have to admit that I haven't played RoS beta so I don't know how the new itemisation will work. Knowing Blizzard, they might want to include items with like +500 Intelligence and Vitality etc. so that you have to buy the new extension if you want to keep running some nice and powerful toons. They did that all the time in WoW extensions. But then again, I might be wrong :D

Anyone try it today after maintenance?
I did it last 1,5h and only one leg dropped on one account.
