ill keep track.. why not..

you should know, some 62 items can be worth a lot as well! (or 61 amulet/rings!)


I pick up all 61-63's. But I only keep ilvl63 and Legendary/Set unid till the end of the run so I can screenshot them before I ID :)

I ID/Vendor 61-62's as they drop.

I know how it feels...
I've been playing D3 since day 1 and i see people get 2 legendary/sets each day. I find 1 once every 2 weeks if i play 3-4 hours each day.And most of them are low level or just suck...

Well, i will tell you here what im doing so far...

I had a barb with 60k dps and all that shit, mfed till paragon 6 and found nothing... Tired about the frenzy baba and not liking the ww build, i focused on my wizz. Made a archon 135k dps 56k life 900 all res wizz. Now im at paragon 25 and founded so far 14x legend/sets. Found an witching hour (droped from azmo), an IK belt (on core of arreat), an lacunis ( keep dephts) and other lowie legends. But here is what im doing: Chasing hot IPs.

On 22 26 72 74 78 i droped 1 legend per run when those ips was hot. My theory is that blizz randomly changes every day or 2 days some ips that give u more chance to drop legends...

On ip 22 i droped witching hour, i finish that run and search for it again and i couldnt find 22, so i go to 26 and BAM droped an ik belt, so i get in like 2hr 2x fg legend/set.

Last night, the nice IP was the 186 and 192. Got 3x legend in 2x runs, a warmonger, a grand vizier and a ivory tower.

So if u dont know how to look on wich ip u are, heres my mini tutorial:


Make a game
go to desktop
click o start
on the searchfield type cmd
ill open a black box
type netstat -n
ill appear alot of numbers
search for the number 1119
there will be only 2x 1119
one ill be 193.1119
the other will be ur game ip like 72.1119 or 125.1119
If u want the 192 ill be 192.1119
if its not the ip u want, just leave the game and resume
just repeat the netstat -n on the black box and u ill know ur new ip...

Just trying to help, 85% of the legends i droped was on the right ips.. If u want to know more, just google about it.

Peace bro!

Oh, i forgot to mention, besides de legends, i drop like 12~16 ilvl 63 per run. My max was 23x on a gd game...


You talk so a bullshit ?
already found on an hot ip only 10x 63 full a3 ... 0 legendarys
and also on a cold ip 22x 2 legendarys from 1 mob

EVERY IP IS HOT if you just take your time and FARM.. that way you dont waste 10min - 30min or even 1hour finding "hot" Ip you could spend that time running same runs for example keep 1-3 , second heart -> azmodan and i Guarantee its better than finding IPs you gain more Xp more lvl 63's and more legendarys

you need more mf imo. you might not notice it from elites, but mf greatly improves my drops from trash monsters. i've also found a majority of my leg/set items off trash monsters as well. i'm sure you've heard this before.. i actually did get very lucky in my runs when i didn't use mf, but ever since i got around 190mf(includes 5nv) i started to get 2 full stashes of rares. my latest run was my best yet. and yes, it was on a hot ip coincidentally(78). got 3 leg items and had 3 full stashes, plus some items in inventory after a full A3 clear.. ended up getting 6 sellable rares as well.

mf will increase your chances to roll 6 attributes iirc.

btw the most 63s(62jewelry too) i've ever found in one A3 clear was 28.

I agree about more MF%, you just don't have enough. Are you at least gear swapping for the last kill? It takes literally 2 seconds, and will improve your chances of those yellows being legendaries from all the elites you are taking down.

I did the majority of my elite kills, in act3, with 268% on my barb. After going until about the 12k elite mark, i dropped the MF for a damage build, which im using now. I found nothing with my MF set, literally nothing. Every upgrade was found on the AH, and I have found much better rares, including the chest on page 1 (which is selling for 35m atm, on ah) without any MF gear.

Run 6 - Trashed it all. Literally not even a remotely, close-to-being-good, piece.

Sorry for the lack of runs today, busy work load today. I have tomorrow off, and will hopefully do a 10 run segment.

Well, whether you found anything or not using MF doesn't really matter. It's random, and the more MF you have the better your chances are. Certainly you can undestand that the game has nothing against you personally, you just seem to be having bad luck. It's simply a math calculation within the game code. The game doesn't care whether you feel you find more or less with or without MF gear. It's just math

More MF = more chance to find rares and legendaries

I'd strongly suggest you put the law of averages back in your favor and at least gear swap for the last hit if you still want to use your damage build.

Run 7 - Trashed it all. Trying a new run course, thanks to some helpful jsp users. We shall see if it works well for me (Sorry, the star crown was not supposed to be on ground lol)

Also, 25 Paragon :)
