i think GPU VRAM is more of a bottleneck for loading clients than actual memory ram. I have 64 GB of memory and its utilized less than half when running 4 clients. However, my VRAM on a 4070 is usually 11 out of 12 GB consumed (about 2GB per client here as well).

I did 18 heralds in one sitting yday going Act 1 through Act 4.
While it was fun in a way chasing them, it was extremely unrewarding as an experience, as I was playing on P1 and the drop chances seem to be absolutely garbage.
Im not whining or whatever, it should be hard to get those - but it shouldn't force people to run 7 copies of the game either in order to have better chances, that is purely retarded. Like Im gonna buy the same game 8 times? Come on.

Mhm, just spawned a T5 night lord herald in Nihlathak halls - cursed, extra fast, extra strong, holy freeze.
Even with decrepify charges my bowa can't possibly kill him, even with 140+ frw. He oneshots me and my merc each time, lol.
I run slightly faster than him when outside of his aura, if I get caught inside I'm done, rip.

playing together is an alternative to buying more accounts

By the time you gather enough people and set the rules....

I gave up on this nonsense and went back to farming plain sunders in the old version. Good thing I didn’t convert all my characters.

10. Players in Same Area Further Improve Odds
Observed scaling:
1 > 3 players in area: ~+25%
3 > 5 players: ~+20%
5 > 7 players: ~+16%
If you play with mates and split the party too much, you reduce efficiency.

Any source?

Updated the content of the topic after my latest research.

Generated tokens does NOT have the tier level with them. You can generate tokens right after starting the game. No need to spawn a herald after having the first ire message.

How to proof:

1. Terrorized act1 and undiscovered the whole act, without killing any monster.
2. Started killing the whole act and generated 5 tokens (ire message)
3. Terrorized act2 and entered tombs and spawned 5 herals right after each other without another token generation (no ire message).
4. All heralds had a different Tier (5th was herald of terror).

yes herald tiers do not increase until you kill a herald
the tier of a herald cannot change once it is spawned

i had 2 latent drops player 1. one from herold level 1 in a random terror zone after just logging in. and the second one yesterday from herold level 2 in a random zone. which was the second i cleared. cleared the first one 3 mins before it changed. i feel drop chances arent that super bad. if you force it, it feels worse. i also did 1 full game clear with only around 10 herolds and only found a mal. lol. took me 4 hours or something like that. not worth it. Do random zones. if i have several herolds in a random zone i use an act1 shard to get the higher tiers. parallel you can farm the random zone in a different act when it rotates. Cheapest way and not forceful. have fun guys.
