Does anyone know the methods of skipping acts when rushing?


Someone rushed me and we didn't have to do act 2.

But if they are present for the duriel kill quest, are they able to do this again with different people or do you need to premake a character for every rush?

Then people doing normal + nightmare + hell act 2 skip have to rush 3 characters then use those character to host a rush?

That seems too difficult for anyone to be willing to do. That forces you to do 4x rushes per rush just to skip act 2...

Yes, it's kinda amazing what people are willing to do when it's all automated and can be done in 20 mins and setup for a future rush.

They make char for each collection needed.

So have a toon that has staff.
They come and drop staff.
Act 3 similar.

Need one for each difficulty.

There's actually a way to skip A2 entirely, but it's definitely obscure, and unstable.
I've seen it in action, but i never understood how it really works, and neither did the person who showed me.
Also, it seems to have a probability to fail, again, for obscure reasons.

When it comes to stable stuff, the most notable is the maggot's lair skipping.
It eats 3 character slots though (assuming you want to use it for all difficulties), but at least it's permanent (doesn't require any precollecting for each rush).

There's also the well-known A3 "walk" trick, but it's not exactly convenient (especially when dolls are in the house).

Act 3 "walk" as in the have them walk from durance 1 to 3? That method is so ass.
