Looking for tips to farming Eth balrog blades. I need two of them. I’ve been running (slowly) pits, the hole, ancient tunnels, eldritch/shenk and chaos sanctuary for 3 days (roughly 12 hours) and in that twelve hours I’ve seen two white balrog blades, 2 blue balrog blades and 1 yellow balrog blade drop. That’s it. Seems very underwhelming for 12 hours of runs, all of which were in places where it’s a droppable item.

Anyone have tips or know of better places I should be looking? My barb hasn’t completed Hell yet he’s just past Anya in act 5 so he can’t farm cows. This is single player btw.

Barb has around 90mf. I could lower it to around 50 mf if I take off the Gheeds but the rest comes from Two piece IK bonus which I don’t have replacement items for those slots so I need to keep them on for now.

Thanks in advance

Less mf is better for farming bases.

Balrog blade should be able to drop from lvl72+ monsters if my source is correct.

Is this a good source to reference monster/area levels?

Drop calculator: http://mfb.bplaced.net/dropcalc/dropcalc.php?lang=en&patch=113&mode=lod&interface=default&window=true

Yes.

Looks like I’ll add council members into the farming rotation. Thanks

Np. But this chance with 0 mf. More mf = LESS chance

LK if you really want two

I’m pretty busy so I don’t wanna spend my time clicking chests and avoiding monsters :/ Id rather actually play on this particular barb

why would you even want two eth bb for barb?

pits is then best choice for u and hope for rng

also its 5% chance for being eth
