[aresze]

i m not sure i doing the right way

[kuafu]

Can you give more details, never heard of this before.

[Orphan]

Act 5, 3 bar extra exp bug? That doesn't even make sense. It's something someone made up at some point.

[aresze]

.... i m in normal act5 game myself, when i go to do quest5 .

i kill all 3 bar & gain a lot exp, but i just find that i didnt get the quest .

so i do it again & they still give a lot exp, i still thinking how to do that.........but havent any idea yet.

[aresze]

....but i just do the fifth time....& still get about 1 lvl exp....:smiley:

[nubikoen]

Let me get this straight.

First you ask how it's done. When told it's not possible you claim that you are doing it... I smell a troll.

[nickedoff]

What's a bar?

[thegiantturtle]

What's a bar?He's talking about the Ancients.

[aresze]

...its seems dont talk to anyone in act5 ....&? not get the quest ,it will let u doing it again and again..........

recently ....i cant do it again now in normal game cause i talk to everyone in town.......

I never talk to anyone in Act 5. I never needed to, and I've never gotten the exp from the ancients quest multiple times.

[ffejrxx]

the xp boost is capped at 1 lvl and given when the last of the ancients is killed and the quest is completed, there is no need to talk to anyone in town to complete the quest

[Yokomohoyo]

smells like bacon to me guys anyways someone close this since its really an adversiment to an exploit or cheat: Please do not abuse other members in any way. Please do not post links or information about hacking/warez/cheats.

[pedu]

mmmmmm... bacon

Has anyone leveling ever tried a hellrush without getting the Normal and NM Ancients, then doing baalruns til level 97 and then doing the Normal and NM Ancients for a quick level 99 at the end?

[pedu]

The amount of exp gained upon completing ancients is always the same. Its not "get one level worth of exp" so a simple hop from 97 to 99 wouldnt work. You would get 1 mm of exp. Or something closeish to that. (maybe even only a pixel width, how should i know? highest char is 93)

Unfortunatly, it wouldn't work that way. The amount of exp that the ancients quest reward actually gives is pre-set, capped at a max of 1 level. This means that it's possible to do the quest and not get a level at all, if the amount of exp you get is not sufficient to complete the exp required to next level.

Going from memory, the actual exp reward value for each of the difficulties are:

Normal = ~1.4 million
Nightmare = ~20 million
Hell = ~40 million

This means that your character wouldn't get a level from normal ancients if he/she is around level 40. For NM ancients, it would probably be around level 65-70 that the char would stop getting a full level. For Hell difficulty, it would probably only be slightly higher than that (ie, lvl 75-80)

EDIT : I Just Read Orphans Post

[nickedoff]

this since its really an adversiment to an exploit or cheat:
Well, grushing is an exploit.
Charge desynching with vigor is an exploit.
Dream sorceresses and auradins are an exploit.

[thegiantturtle]

Dream sorceresses and auradins are an exploit.um...what's the exploit here?

[nickedoff]

um...what's the exploit here?
Do you really think they programmed the game to allow two of the same auras to stack ontop of eachother?

You should end up with two level 15 auras, not a level 30 one.

At least, that's how it seems to me.

People were saying the marrow bug wasn't a bug before blizzard fixed it.

Hi everyone
sorry my late reply

i test another character in normal game,
finally i find the way ^^

its fun it try
my nerco on west ladder now lvl32

when in act5 , finish quest1 & get the reward,
next then doing quest2 when u finish it "Remember dont take that 3runes reward" even not talk to him

the quest5 will not appear
& then u just do the rest of quest

even i kill the 3 bars, i quit the game & make new one the quest5 still not appear so i do kill 3bars again (they so pity) i still gain the exp

sorry still dont hv time to test in nightmare yet
and i play solo in west ladder & also not test in group players game yet

i think this only worth to do in normal & nightmare game, .......for hell 3bars is so dangerous for solo

feel free to try
thank you for reading :smiley:

:

I am really surprised to hear that,if somebody could confirm this i would appreciate it.I play HcL only and i could imagine this bug exists because nobody dares to do the ancients alone.If this is true it would mean Powerlvling at ancients in hell...40 mioexp each run^^??.

[nickedoff]

I think he's full of crap, but I also think it'd be interesting for someone to go see if he's making it up or not.

I've done the act five Rescue the Barbs quest without getting the rune reward on purpose, and never experienced something like that with the ancs.

[Nilaripper]

I was so stupid to follow your instructions and tested it, but i cannot confirm this "bug".If you dont have the quest and you arrive the summit the quest opens and if you kill the three its quest done.1st of april is long ago but you got me.

[Lyrs]

Single Player or Bnet?

If Single Player, what game version? Lastly, plz do nto tpye like thsi.

No one trusts you because all you've done is waste all of our time being a complete knob. There is no way to get the Ancients quest multiple times. Keep this up and you'll eventually get reported for trolling.

[WhiteAlien]

Hmm .... very funny story. I would not believe this guy, he is just making nice jokes, 32 posts IMO.

But from another side no one believed the guy who discovered Andy bug either.


3bar :laugh: :laugh: dunno from where he comes from

[kikomun]

total nonsense

[leetserv]

What andy bug?

[helvete]

the one that makes her quest drop every time. it's more normal to have it than to not have it. caused by talking to warriw in the same game as you kill andy the first time.

[Drystan]

If you talk to Warriv in the same game as you kill Andariel (FIRST/QUEST KILL,) she will drop her First/Quest drop from then on in that difficulty, no matter how often you kill her. Unfortunately, I always talk to Warriv and thus get this bug (not that I'm complaining ;) ,) but I don't run her too often anyway.

[Ax2Grind]

First, I think there are a lot of people on this forum who don't talk to Qual Kehk so he can be a rune spotter. Much easier having him hold them instead of a mule, until we need a Ral, Ort and Tal.

Second, I've noticed some oddities about Rite of Passage, not that they can or will allow power leveling.

If you don't talk to Qual Kehk, the first time you enter the Arreat Summit the quest does not initiate. I'm thinking this happens only if the altar is touched, however if you town portal (and use it, of course) without touching the altar then return the quest does initiate, before you touch the altar.

Continuing, the Ancient's are supposed to give a monologue after being defeated (starts with "You are a worthy hero!"), but sometimes they don't. I'm not sure if this has to do with holding down a button as or immediately after the last Ancient is beaten, bypassing it by cancelling it before you even see anything, but I've let my mercenary or minions get the final blow with my fingers hovering above the mouse; every time I've gotten the speech.

There are some inconsistencies with the quest, but I've never heard of leaving immediately after defeating them then returning to find them playable again. Certainly, a character who's gotten credit for the quest can't make a game with them capable of activating, so it should be simple to test in the various methods outlined by this... person.

Unfortunately, I can't do this for several reasons, but I can help with the logic and such.

[ccornchip]

I read this thread ages ago, and had a good laugh, it was one against hundreds. But the other day something trully bizzare happened, which made me want to sign up and post: I managed to touch the altar again.
... mind you I'm an offline single-player newbie, getting a character through hell for the first time ever. She had so much trouble vesting the ancients first time round, that when I accidentally touched the altar I immediately opened a town portal to make them go away.
So I don't know whether you get experience from killing them again. Is it normal that the ancients can be triggered again in hell difficulty? I'm guessing that this is what this guy is talking about.

[bahbah]

Even after completing the quest, you can fight the Ancients as many times as you want by travelling to the summit and touching the altar. But only doing the quest gives you the giant amounts of xp (20/40/60 million per difficulty). Otherwise, I think they give 1xp (for a 1 player game, at least).

[ispankpigeons]

ahahahah

there's a new challenge for the truly hardcore players!

getting from level 90-99 by doing nothing but killing the ancients over and over

..and over and over and over

:P

:Pits possible with a well-built character. it just takes a long time, which i doubt many people have.

[Dr Phil]

Yep you can set ancients off then kill them once every game.

[ispankpigeons]

oh i wasnt saying itd be hard, just tedious to gain a level at 1 exp per run when you have to gain 8 million or so.

[Lanceor]

The 3 Bars would mean the 3 Barbarians. On the Asia realms, many players find "the Ancients" (or worse, "Rite of Passage") too hard to say or spell, so they usually call them the "3 babas".

Judging from aresze's posts, English may not be his first language either.
