Do you guys farm Andy or Meph more?
I'm currently level 56, zealer, p8 hc vanilla WT and farming Andy is already not that easy in NM.

I've seen tons of topic where people just farm Mephisto is there a reason for that? Is mephisto dropping better item than andy?
Any tips for my WT?

Thanks

Meph has the chance at dropping the class uniques so arrests occy hoz and so on. That’s why I like to farm meph

Andy still drops some real nice gear so if meph is to hard it isn’t bad to hang out at Andy for a while

Roll a nice Meph map and runs can become quite quick. Plus, Meph can drop much better stuff in addition to all the stuff Andy can drop.

E: example: Meph can drop HoZ, Gface, Duriels, etc. Andy can’t drop those items.

I tought since we can't quest bug Mephisto in SP that andy were better.
Thanks for the clarification, i'll keep farming andy till i'm more comfortable running to act 3 than i'll start doing meph run.
Thanks guys

if so create one in a knout and meph runs become pretty fast

Typically you run Andy until you are strong enough to run Meph, and the you run Meph until you are strong enough to run Hell Countess. At least that's how I do it on every character I make pretty much... Unless I'm on a character who is strong enough to go straight to NM Meph after Norm.

I wrote out an MF progression for my zealer Zapp on page 3 if you want to check it out.

usually rerun andy on casters as its easier, safer and gear drops for them is much better. finding peasant/vipermagi/chancies is much easier from andy.
meph on other classes generally, or rerun andy for a few upgrades like butchers and progress to meph

The thing is I've done about 40 Runs so far and the upgrade are rare for my zealer. Wondering if I could do P4 meph run for a while?
I definitely can't do P8 meph for now as i S&E every 2 run at Andy right now
