Because cows in 1.1 give you hardly any experience, unlike .9 where you just leeched by the portal and let all the hex users kill the cows.

The only good thing for cows is leveling 20-24, and looking for socketed armors :thumbsup:

Actually cow games do give exp. If you have a bored friend, lvl to 24 in norm cows, do ancients get rushed to nm and leech off his nm cows. You'll level faster in nm cows then you will in normal baals. The only thing now with the cow level is the cows being killed have to be 2 screens or less away for you to get any exp from it.

isnt cows a good place to to MF runs and rune runs?? becaise doesnt hell cows drop high runes?

[Subby_man]

Hell cows have a high enough TC to drop high runes. The only reason why they have a better chance to drop runes, is because there is a high number of them. If you have a character that can kill hell cows with the quickness, then its highly worth your time and effort. If you struggle to kill a single cow, I wouldn't recommend it. I've been doing hell cows since level 75 and have gained 3 levels by kill them in four different cow games. Its just a little slower than doing hell baal runs, but I get all drops and I don't die as often.

Hey .. I havent played since 3 months before 1.10 came out. WOW i thought everyone leveled up in cows? In 1.09 I used to play 8 ppl cow games with my lvl 15 char eating up the exp :lol: . Sucks.. cant do no more cheap crap any more :rant: . SO my question.. where the heck do ppl level up? Baal runs? THat seems so inefficient.

[Dr.G]

how hard are the hell cows?

[Subby_man]

jft2, from what I hear hell cow's xp has been nerfed when 1.10 came out. The place to gain good xp is during the baal minions. People will do run after run and get pretty good xp. Norm baal runs when your >=25 and upwards of 50ish when you do nm baal runs. You'll go from 25 to 70 in less than 3 hours if you're rushed through nm.

Dr. G, Hell cows can be pretty difficult at first or at lower clvl. If you don't have the kill ability and crowd control, I would recomend you wait or make a character that can. They are level 81, so a good starting point is around that level maybe level 75 if you have a good build. Or lower if you have a friend that can crowd kill them.

Hell cows have a base XP award of 36k each, so about 170k each in an 8 player game if you're within 5 levels of level 81 (not counting lvl 80+ XP penalty)
