For my barb I just use 11 ML on my charm and high ee armor no ml and high ee club. I personally prefer to run around at the same lvl chasing after ep’s and selling off all the lvl 40 and up gear I find. 99.999999% of the time it’s junk but I have also found some nice stuff as well (175 ee lvl 55 charm, 40 intel staff, 50 dex scale, etc).........

Oh cool thanks

Found 1 item worth 2k other than that pretty much junk since I started

I would argue a "Death Mage" where you constantly remain at a fixed level (usually 55 or 60).
We call it a death mage because it dies so often to mobs. can see this char has significantly more deaths than my main char: https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=193561&p=186214
Used it a little bit, didn't get much success myself.

Can use magic luck robes/daggers/staffs, so a total of 20-28 ML, without particularly compromising damage or survivability if you have decent charms.

In general pass a character until you reach paladin, this means when you die you lose more exp than if you just die as a class which hasn't passed.
Play as mage rather than pally (ofc)
Play as per normal up till 55 or 60
When you reach your level, when you reach 85-95% exp, die 5-6 times then heal back to max with heal charm and keep going.

Basically skips the levelling part from 1-55 which in general are worse drops because level 55 items can't drop (excluding EP's at around 53)
However it can be tedious so it isn't for everyone, doing it without getting to paladin means you only lose about 10% of your current exp, so need to die 10-15 times to get your exp to a sensible number which is pretty time consuming and boring given the flood control. 4-5 max is ideal.


The one thing in particular is to always explore, wells and EP's are the main sources of items. This excludes level 1-30ish as 99% of the high value drops will be at higher level items now.

If the death mage isn't for you, then cartracks barb build and swap to a ML charm at anywhere level 30+
Whistle until level 30 seeing 1-30 is fast if you're not exploring and 99% of the stuff will be crud. Either that or do 1-30 exploring just looking for a well and whistle up the rest of the way.

The game can be funny like that.....find nothing for awhile and then all of a sudden a 60 intel staff or a 200 ee dagger pops up......

oh ye, we can't forget the go afk for 6 months or more then do 10 solo's find something GG.

worked for me

In general Ice is most expensive for consistency.
Fire is reasonably bad for solo due to 1 extra immune mob to have to fight.
Lightnings are usually the most common because muters generally do Lightnings because if it comes out with say 50+ dex, it's more valuable on a light because it's HH usable. Usually the cheapest.
Earth has a good damage range, also solid for solo.
Winds seem to be the least common for some reason, potentially because originally there were only 3 elements: Fire/Ice/Light, however this is a long long time back.

In general just buy whatever you can get good EE for at a good price.

I found my best results were to just swap it on for last hit of ep

Thank you everyone for the useful information

thats alot of micromanagement and uses up some inventory space, but it does sound like a good idea!! i mean for lvl 40+ , not worth the effort for low level forsure . I might start doing that... maybe just one piece since i only got a 10ml armor

I find it to be more effective than leaving it on because generally speaking you can’t maintain the same kill rate clearing the regular mobs. I’m not gonna say normal mobs haven’t dropped me some nice stuff but it’s far and few between. If inventory space is an issue just keep them in vault until you find eps.
