I keep rolling Hell Meph maps until rhe armor side drops pally shields often

I've never been able to duplicate a result even once, so I really don't even get what people mean haha. Apparently if you like... run towards a rack at the same angle it will drop the same item? I must have incredibly inconsistent clicks or something because I have never been able to get a rack to duplicate a drop. I haven't really tried too hard to be fair, but I have certainly gave it a half-hearted go in some of my longer LK stretches. What constitutes "taking the same path" to the rack? If you make one misclick is it all ruined? If not, how far off of the path can you veer before the item changes? Is it a timer thing? Or should I envision invisible footsteps falling under my character that I should try to retrace each run? What happens if a monster gets in my way? Etc, etc, etc.

It is very random from my experience.
Exact same path may give differents results.
Monster spawning I believe can change it too. So it's a rotation.
I'm on a winged helm rack atm, and I can get it from 3 diff angles. Sometimes I dont see it for 5 times in a row even tho I'm just doing the same thing lol

I see! Well thanks, I’m going to try it out when it comes time for a dream base

When you get to LK try to roll it there. The key is to just keep rolling maps until you find one really close to WP, for safety and efficiency. I think the mistake a lot of people make is trying to find a really consistent map. My Sorceress’ Thresher rack in LK was start in Act 4, one step towards WP, TK to LK, one Teleport right, TK rack, TK WP, go to Act 4, leave game. Even at 2/10 drops as Thresher from the rack it only took ~2-3 hours for ethereal 4 socket because the runs were ~10 seconds.

The way you approach and monster spawns within the tile of the rack will definitely effect the drop. Always keep your approach exactly the same and for each rack you find close to WP try a few different approaches ~10 times before rerolling. Other than that, you can’t control monster spawns so it’s just something you have to live with.

Awesome. I hope you do it.

This was my zealer goal but I just ran out of posting steam
I have 350 unposted picture updates.
When I realized that is 100 posts or so I died a little inside

Good luck on all those jahs

Good luck here. Sounds interesting. Will follow for sure!

Great piece of knowledge was
Dropped here

Tyvm!!! Yeah I wouldn’t need the base until LK anyways, so that works. Here’s hoping for a 45 res 3os ST i guess it’s definitely easiest to keep the same path when you can tele/tk rather than run, but I will try to find a good map for running!

Time to get started on NM farming!


Right away I met a boss Quill Rat that could have killed me in 2-3 hits. I am definitely insanely squishy at this point. I picked them all off with Charge.


Not going to lie, the squishiness scared me. I B-lined it straight for Countess runs to beef myself up.
