Hi,

does it make any sense to do a full run alone, with 2-4 afkers? I aim for p3 and p5
how much is an afker service? I saw some post where guy is offering 99fg per hour, but that comes a bit high, and i also saw posts when it was like: hey, need an afker. -here, so no price involved.
maybe sharing a game would be easier?
how much my main character (hammer lvl 87) affects tz's? It means tz can be only lvl 89 i presume? So it would be better to get somebody with higher lvl to open a game?

what would you suggest, i can honestly say farming p1 makes no sense to me at this point, i think only keys drop quite frequently, so i want to try something new.

I am new to the concept of tz's and tried them myself, but I can not think of any friendly way to start and not piss people off (because i would be probably slower)

and last, does killing every single monster makes sense, or is it better to jump to champions/unique monsters packs?

Thanks for any input.

I really need some help from pro's here, all the information I find on internet is precise, but confirmation from community would be even better

Well, I've not played with the patch yet, and it could change things. First, it was better to kill only the champions and uniques, but "Heralds now spawn and hunt players immediately upon killing any monster in a Terror Zone" would give a different direction.
The question would be: Do any monster have the same % chance to proc harold than uniques?
If yes, then it'd be better to telestomp everything in sight. If no (like 0.1 for trash chances and 2% for champions), it'd still be better to only kill champions.
Sharing is acceptable, more in P3 than in P5, as each one could take on one full act independently (P5 means one player would take on act IV which is sub-optimal).
If you've a friend, just do a second account with a horker barb, and let this char stay in town. This way you'd be on P3 with a horker available. If really you're alone... You could multi 2 other accounts but that becomes a bit of a mess, depending of your PC.
Normally you aim to be 93 at least to ensure lvl 95 TZ, but it doesnt matter so much: you'll level up by playing and clearing TZs.
OC, the one with the highest level should still create the game.
Don't worry so much about people being angry: just find people with your clear speed, and try to respect people's time (like don't try to clear every angle of act I, if a small spot on the map isn't discovered, dont fully backtrack to it, it's okay to miss 3 mobs in a corner).

thanks for very detailed explanation, I will try to explore the possibilities of new patch and how to run 2 accounts on 1 PC :D!.

I think I disvalued lvl mainly, but I think I get the main idea behind farming the TZ's.

Will be definitely ready for next patch :).

THANK YOU again

Ok keep me posted

Geforce now seems to be a possible way to run 1 (or more? Not sure if possible) extra accounts without affecting performance. Just have to re-login every 1 hour if free tier

I'm not sure about this. I constantly see telestomp warlocks entirely missing champ/elite packs and just getting through levels/dungeons/maps as fast as possible. Like Stoney & Trist. Lots of misses/leaks north of Trist and around the Cairn Stones, there's usually another 2-3 ez packs there. Inner cloister is another one. Usually 2 packs in either of the corners but nah they just have to head to Jail lvl 3 asap. Like that autistic kid that read clear speed rules all no matter what. Some don't bother with canyon during tombs or even entirely skip guaranteed packs north and west. Or in Kurast, they just tele down the middle and miss everything lul.
But yeah, had to stereotype those characters and Mosaics on NL. The same pattern existed with mosaic. Nerf will reduce braindead ADHD playstyle.

I'm a java with wizzy on swap & cta in cube so I am slow anyway until I get to the 152fcr bp (lol but I will try). Pubs are a FFA where you should keep tabs on where ppl are and for how long roughly. In pubs I used to let ppl get xp in tombs but now I dgaf.

That said, hope someone with time on their hands has a way to increase the volume of when an elite pack is discovered. It's incredibly low mixed in with all the sounds.

No problem, don't hesitate to reach, even via MP or Discord, if any another questions. I didnt play so much last season as I spammed NL when the warlock got out to theorycraft and burnt myself out a bit early, but still went to 95 in Ladder with TZs


Depends on your goal. I understand their POVs as act I is not the best for harolds to spawn, by experience it'd be 2>3>1>5>4 (debatable between 2/3 and 4/5). But usually clearing act I fast to be at harold 2 or 3 on act 2 is fine.
