Hello everyone! We’re two new Hardcore players teaming up as a FoHdin and a Javazon :). I received a warm welcome from a d2jsp user named Peteyy, who generously gifted us 350fg. I used some of it to get 2x Anni and 2x Torch for both of us!

Do any of you have advice on how we should approach Hardcore mode? Our goal is to progress in the game while generating some FG on d2jsp, but we're unsure of the best way to achieve that. As a FoHdin and Javazon, what areas should we focus on farming, considering we won’t have much Magic Find?

Hardcore is great way to play this game, but be ready to die if you don’t have Bo Barb and also you need Hardcore ” mental” to build your char by safety first.

Well yea i guess your right about that! Im tryin to get a CTA for us - anyways what areas should try to farm without build?

BO, Damage reduction (storm shield, shako, string, and treachery are all common and cheap), and patience.

Well make your Pala as tanky as possible ( max block, max ress, dr% ) and walk with Vigor, when see mobs change to Conv and spam FoH and ask your friend spam Lightning Fury behind you, should go easy. River of Flame + Chaos Sanctuary are my favorite places to farm, also somehow i like also WSK 2-3 and then doing Throne and Baal Terror Zones are also worth to farm when ever it hits to some smart place like Catacombs or other good boss area. Also Cows is good place to farm if Terror Zone hits there.

Zakarum not better than Stormshield :)?

Well for safety, Storm but if you look Dmg then Zaka, but tbh if this is your first HC char and you dont have Bo Barb by your side Storm would be better opinion.

e: some cheap opinion would be : Lore + Spirit Sword + Viper + Storm + TO’s + Verdungo + Aldurs boots and as Amulet Irath’s provide Psn ress example, rings can be what ever.

And with BO barb zaka is fine :)?

Well with Bo Barb you have like 2500 life instead of ~1000 so you have more time to drink Full Rejus or press Alt + F4 if needed 😂 and wont get one shotted.
