    Default D3 Gear Farming Strats

    I've watched quite a few live streams of D3 players, and came up with (i.e. stole someone elses idea) a pretty good strat for pure gear farming for the common multiboxer.

    It looks like the current "best way" to farm is to find replentished chests in Act 3 Inferno - which seem to have a good chance at dropping yellows.

    So you create a game, only have your main guy in the game. Find a replentished chest, then invite all your alts. Teleport to your main, equip your magic find gear on all your guys. (I have 200+ MF on all guys from just the drops I found). I have all my MF gear in the same order on all my guys (bottom row in my inventory), so it takes about 5 seconds to switch with mouse broadcasting. Shift+alt equips your second ring.

    Open the chest, loot all the good stuff, hit "T" to portal back to the town. Leave game on main, find another chest on the main. Repeat.

    Act 3, quest 5 has a good shot at a r chest right as you enter the area with monsters - due east and south a tiny bit - about a screen or two over, there is sometimes a stairs leading up to a platform that has a replenished.

    Farming locations will probably move or get nerfed, that's just how D3 is, but it's pretty easy to find stuff on one guy, and then invite others to the game to save any hassle.

    I did this for a few hours, got a lot of yellows. I got a bit bored and started using all my guys to kill packs and try different specs.

    Here's a link to several screenshot of where I'm farming now, there are a few other spots, and this spot won't show up all the time, so if it's not there, or the guards are alive when you get there just start a new game.

    You also get attacked when you open the chest, so loot quickly. If you don't get a chance to loot on all your guys, release one guy who didn't get the loot, TP back to one of the dead guys, try and loot again.

    There's also another spot that you can go to if this one doesn't pop. It's just 1 screen south. It's called Cryder's outpost, and I'm sure it won't spawn in every game.

    Not sure if farming chests after 1.03 will be worth it in general. With my 80k dps no SS demon hunter with 212 base MF i get 1-2 rares from rares/champion packs already almost every time.

    Chests are an easy way to get a full group worth of drops and you can just maximize cheap magic find gear.

    I too just run around in Magic Find gear stacking up the nephalim buff and get plenty of blues and yellows falling out of champions, regular chests and just normal mob drops.

    I haven't played D3.

    That said, when I look at the screenshots above, I actually had to do a double take because that looks like Guild Wars to me.

    Using the screenshots in this thread, you could easily confuse D3 and GW...
