mf sorcy time

[bloodngore]

so, i started playin d2 again a few weeks ago (chose classic for the pvm) and i got a decent hammerdin to 80 for rushes and stuff but now im ready for a mf char, i already know its gonna be a sorc, but just wondering, what exactly are the benefits of glitching meph/how do you level? and would blizz or orb be a better route?

[squiggle]

Read the guide, It tells you these things =]


Orb leaves up space to max tele. Which is awesome as you dont have to chug down pots while teleing to meph.


You can lvl of just meph, Some people do the council.

I level by doing meph in cs game, the fireeye and most of minions there, And if theres time andy.

This gets a fair bit of exp.




The benefits are rares dropping everytime and no need for mf =]

examples of rares that have dropped.

my lvl 85 glitcher has found 2 sojs. and probably more than a dozen sojs worth of gear.

examples, include a +2, 30/20 priz green spiked, with lr stack, and -20 req
a very useful 30/20 priz lr stack bone shield, a very useful 30/20 priz 9 str bone shield with rep (since traded away) and many very nice/useful other items, including a fhr, 3x life, nearly 3x dual rez skull cap.

the author of that guide has an insanely godly mart from glitching, the full mods of which I won't mention (as it's not mine to brag about), but it's the type of mart, that one never trades, unless one is quitting, or getting paypal for it (or both)

as for MFing in general, quest glitching, be it mephy, andy, or lord kills in the cs in my experience has been far and away better than trying to MF the "traditional" way with an "MF" sorc, or even an "MF/GF" Barbarian, which did "decent" but no where near as good as the drops to my lord din, or my mephy glitcher.

that all being said. I haven't ever made a pure cs popper.

ok, ty, just to clarify that i read corrctly, if i glitch meph i dont need any mf at all??

if you glitch/quest mf in any fashion you won't need any mf at all. be it mephy, or being a lord killing in cs.

in fact, in my non-scientific experimentation, if I toss gull, tritopazed crown, and chancies on my mephy glitcher she ends up with useless set items, crummy uniques, and magic items.

if I go with zero mf, I usually end up with 5, or 6 rares. While most of the time they too are sold for gold, I have found more useful/trade-able items with her in 1/4 of the time that I did my lvl 88 mf/gf barbarian.

the biggest issues are:
- durance 2 is a huge map, with some nasty bad guys to teleport through.
- cs runs are the safest, and most frequent places to avoid the mephy quest, but they want you to teleport into the cs (which you obviously can't do, since you can never get to act 4) and cs runs in general are dying off
- there are now quite a few glitchers in the game to compete with.
