some questions

[belmont]

Hi, guys, it seems the more I play, the more question pops up. :whistling: so here is goes:

1. I am currently Clvl 88, what's the fastest way to level up beyond that? Baal run? my calculation is that for my currently experience, i need more than 200 baal runs to go next lvl.

2. so this question comes from previous one. each time I finish a baal run, i need to save and exit and make a new game, so I need to make new army for my fishymancer. what's the best location for doing that? I always go to blood moor, but it still needs a couple of minutes?

3. what's that "marrowwalk bug" that everyone is talking about?

4. i see a lot ppl online say they need "hr", which seems like an item, what is that?

Thanks a lot!

Not sure about the first three, but HR=high runes, which are the 10 rarest runes, from Vex to Zod if I remember right.

1. 200runs :shocked: you must be on BNet, so I have no idea

2. Pindle's garden and the corpses just outside Harrogath are free :thumbup:

3. dw that bug doesn't exist anymore (the lvl33 bone skill synergised bone spear/spirit in 1.10)

4. already answered

1. ya, i am on Bnet, but I saw a lot ppl beyond lvl95, wonder how they do that...

2. to get pindles garden I have to use anya's red portal. but my stupidity made me opened hall of pain WP. so i guess garden one doesn't apply to me any more. thanks!

thanks a lot!

1. Some people use a bot to run baal 24 hours a day. It's easy to get 200 baal runs when each one only takes 3 minutes. 600 minutes = 10 hours. I'm not sure why anyone would do that, but they do.

[belmont]

so baal run is still the best/fastest way to level up beyond lvl88? I was trying to party with others but seems my share of experience is still not as high as soloing baal.

Yep Baal runs are probably your best bet. Lvl85 will also get you decent experience. You don't need 200 runs to get to 99. I'm not calculating how many but in a full game it will probaably only take 10-12 maybe.

2. so this question comes from previous one. each time I finish a baal run, i need to save and exit and make a new game, so I need to make new army for my fishymancer. what's the best location for doing that? I always go to blood moor, but it still needs a couple of minutes?

Pindles Garden! The corpses are there waiting for you!

3. what's that "marrowwalk bug" that everyone is talking about?

It was a 1.10 thing. Doesn't exist in 1.11/1/12.

4. i see a lot ppl online say they need "hr", which seems like an item, what is that?

As explained it's a High Rune. Exactly what a high rune is varies on realm, ladder status and general preference. It's been explained a lot including on another thread on the front page of this forum.

thanks Dave!
Are you sure about 10-12 runs? for each level? my calculation is: record my current exp, record exp after each baal kill. take the difference as exp for each baal run. then take the difference between current and next lvl exp, do a division. it comes up to 150 something.

So I have another idea about baal run:
When join other ppl's game, don't party with them, go right to WSK and kill baal. so you don't share exp with other ppl. the more ppl in the game, the more exp baal will give you. so maybe each baal will give 3-4 times more exp than solo baal, is this method valid?

[Dodgydave]

Each extra unpartied player adds 50% more experience. So in a full game you get 4.5x the experience you would in a one person game.

10-12 runs (or maybe less) is for 88-89.

98-99 is near to 1000 I think. (there is a table somewhere with it all calculated, but I'm too lazy too look/search for it!)

More like 5000+ actually, from 98-99. As they always say, it only gets hard from 97 onwards.

Cold Plains would be better--there are more monsters around generally, and they're not a great deal tougher than the ones on the Blood Moor.

Realize that when you're partied you don't really "share" experience. Being in an 8-player baal run is how you should be leveling. If you do it solo it will take you FOREVER.

[belmont]

I don't share exp? I thought once you partied you always share exp...

[lionheartthebrave]

You do share XP, otherwise leeching XP wouldn't be possible

Don't use ondal's wisdom though, it steals XP, makes you sterile, and reduces your chance of Zod runes dropping :p

[Sacuraf]

I guess my point is that you will have a faster time leveling with the increased killing speed in 8 players than doing it solo. You've obviously never done a real "baal" run where all you do is let the hammerdin kill everything and it takes 5 minutes for the complete run.

I am not hammerdin myself and it's unlikely that I'll find one who's willing to do 400 runs with me, so I guess 5 min run doesn't apply anyway. :coffee:
