Okay, so this has been the worst ladder start I’ve ever had in my life.

I’ve had basically zero valuable drops. I tried Sorc, Barb, and Javazon (always on a budget because I have low FG). I’ve been farming a lot—many hours, Terror Zones, everything.

I started playing right at reset, from the very first minute of the new season.

My best drops so far:

1 Pul (3 days ago)

1 Pul (today)

1 Fire Facet 5/5 (6 days ago)

1 Offensive Aura Paladin skiller with 40 life (yesterday)

That’s all I’ve gotten after days and days of farming.

I really need help to make some FG and actually feel like I have some luck again. So here’s my question:

Could you please give me some advice on what character to play and what specific areas to farm at this point in the ladder to make some FG?

(No Sorc please—I know it’s the best option, but I just don’t enjoy it. I already tried a full Tal’s Blizzard Sorc for 4 days, playing 5+ hours per day, and got basically nothing except a non-eth Andy’s Face.)

I’ll link my topic where I’m selling my Javazon so you can get an idea of my FG and what items I have available to maybe build something new and make it work.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

D2R or D2ROTW?

the player base have moved to D2ROTW and thats where all the fg is, so for starters you would need to move there. In addition its several weeks into the ladder so you missed the most optimal time frame (the first 3-4 days, or for this season, the first 2 weeks which were very lucrative for everyone).

If you are staying D2R, then travi runs over and over with shenk thrown in, is reasonable.

Hork Barb at Council has been good to me this ladder

The time to make a fair amount of fg for your time has come and gone now

Im not starting now, i started the day 1 of the reset, with the new rotw season, please read my post again

I tried a budget one but was not even able to kill one member, he just instadied all the time.. would you suggest me a build?

but its too late now. do 100 travi runs a day if you really want to try this.

Can you afford Grief? If not, Oath in an Eth Balrog Blade is alright. But maybe try a different build till you can get a Lo rune

Something like:

IK Helm (2 Ptopaz)
High Lords Wrath
Grief PB or eOath BB
Wealth Armor
Ali Baba or Resistance Shield
LoH
2x Dwarf or Dwarf + Nagel
TGods or Goldwrap
Gore Rider or Goblin Toe
Some Resistance Charms
Goldfind Charms if you like to gamble

Max Berserk
Max Battle Order
~10- 15 Find Potion
~10 - 15 Find Item
~10 Weapon Mastery
1 Leap Attack for mobility
1 Increased Speed
1 Natural Resistance

I Will try to sell my javazon and afford a grieff, do you think barn horking its a good option? I ve been farming like 15 hours in last 3 days with lvl 92 jvzon, terror zones, cows, chaos runs non stop for litrrally 0 drops...like 0
