At this point i will be pleased with any shite rolled OG ;)

Btw all my OG farm characters are now lvl 8. I will end this attempt when all are at 30% towards lvl 9.

I suspect GGG has made it less likely to spawn U-Hillock to fight bot farmers, so legit players are competing with scripts, which is not good ;)

I wish you luck. If you stop your farming before you get one sword. Let me know. :)

Do you legitimately think bot farmers are going to waste all that time to get what is, I believe, a 1 exalt unique? I mean, I'm touched if so, but I just don't see it as particularly lucrative.

As for shite rolls, I made sure to lock the really important stats away from RNG shenanigans (the added fire damage, the added damage per level). You're welcome. :P

my m8 and I waited until this week to start our league. He's thinking of rolling a melee dork and so I've been lowkey farming three peons for this as a surprise.

First time for everything I guess. Wish me luck. I certainly wouldn't bother if it was for myself - I usually level with claws for that shit. But it's been a geologic age since any one of us ran a melee (that wasn't spinning to proc something else) that I feel it's a special occasion.

'surprise, I got you a cursed sword that never shuts up and wants to burn you to death!'

'oh, honey, you shouldn't have.'

he already had to sit in front of me in Japanese class for 3 years in a row so i think he's not too worried about it *<:^)

Weeb been through some shit, eh? Well, I hope he likes it. if not, easy 110 chaos.

LOL just saw on poe.trade for 10 exalts. three white sockets. Nice.

Played:

Marauder: 4hr 49 min (lvl 8, + 21%):
-no ms boots // killed only 2-4 mobs direct on his way since lvl 7 after rushing to Hillock

Witch: 4hrs 20 min (lvl 8, + 34%):
-no ms boot as well // same as scion rushed to Hillock since lvl 7 and only killed mobs in her direct way along the shore

Scion:3hrs 42 min (lvl 8, + 30%):
-10 ms boots // rushed to Hillock since lvl 7 and only killed nearby mobs on her way

Templar: 4hrs 20 min (lvl 8, + 23%)
-wanderlust boots // killed a lot of trash till lvl 8 but afterwards same as Marauder

Unique collection sorted by character

Marauder

Witch

Scion

Templar



Got bad RNG this time as i usually saw him in early lvl 7s.

His damage is a big as i remember and had no trouble face tanking him with my Templar thanks to a lot of zombie spawns and chilling him every 3rd or 6th melee swing.

I would do it again but go with 4 Scions to make the process faster like in my last farm run.
I intentionally started with 4 different classes for variety to not bore me out too fast.

Good luck for other OG hunters, you will get it sooner (lvl6 with luck) or later (early 9s).

So after which level I should only kill hillock and not clearing the beach?

7.

I full cleared up to 8.0 and then ran direct. We don't know how the probability of Uber Hillock showing changes at 8.0, so starting earlier may work well. The earliest I would start the direct runs is 7.75 or so.

Wasting time.


During Harvest my first OG dropped at 7, second at 8.

And about items around OG - i had this one idea about (probably) shield possesed by Demon who wnats to eat OG so it hunts for Her consuming any unique item that it faces during that hunt (for power off course). But never put mind into it, just playing with ideas.

At least this is the only intelligent sword. Jack, The Axe is barely good for a few simple phrases.

Full clearing is never a good idea at all. Never waste time going into the alcoves. Just zigzag up the main beach. By the time you get to level 7 then take a more direct route with some minor zigzagging. By level 8 you should be running mostly straight up the beach to Hillock. Ignore the Sand Spitters unless one shot or swing can kill 2 or more otherwise it's a waste of time for hardly any xp. If you have the full 4 OG farmer rotation then go directly to Hillock and only shoot at targets of opportunity that don't slow you down (much). If a 3 farmer rotation you have a few extra seconds for killing more zombies. By level 7 you should be getting under 1 minute Hillock kills and by 8 easily 45 second Hillock kills or better. By this time you should have gotten some kind of speed boots. Lastly, don't forget that you should never wear a chest armor, that just slows you down until you find Uber Hillock. Then put it on.
