1.12 Classic Realm Bug Mfing Guide

Author: Markie


Information:

• What is Bugged Mfing Mean?
  Bugged mfing is simply killing a quest boss that you have not done. This means, that every time you kill Andy, Mephy, Diablo ect. you will get the maximum drop rate from that boss. This is usually all rare or above items, but it is not every time.

• Does this require any 3rd party hacks?
  No, this is strictly on how you build your characters, and what quests you complete.

• Is this legal?
  Because this requires no 3rd party hacks, it is perfectly legal to do and use on battle.net. It does not violate any terms of agreement.

• Does this work on all realms?
  Yes, this works on all realms. It also works on Ladder and Nonladder

• Does it really work?
  Yes it does, You will notice a difference in drop rates when you use this technique. You can find a picture of an Andy drop here: http://i36.tinypic.com/2mwi253.jpg

• Do i need any mf?
  No, you will require 0 mf when using this method.

• Will this work on expansion?
  I don't know, i don't play expansion. I am unsure if the amount of MF you can get on ladder outweighs the drop rate from the bugged drops.

• Can i pm you any questions?
  Yeah sure, i am usually online everyday.

Sorc Build:

You will not need to make a hybrid sorc, because usually all of andys monsters are not cold immune. I recommend a cold sorc, but the build is up to you, you can go all orb or blizzard, which ever you are more comfortable with. But to give you an idea, i will show you how i built mine: http://i38.tinypic.com/33m0t51.png

You can find other guides to find out how to build sorc's to your liking, but its all about preference.

Instructions:

• Step 1 - Make 2 classic Sorc's and 1 Barbarian
  There needs to be 2 sorc's total, and 1 barbarian. All in the classic realm

• Step 2 - Rush
  You can either pay for this on the forums or you can do this yourself. But make sure you read step 3 before you rush your character fully.

• Step 3 - The Hell Quests
  
  Sorc #1
  • Rush all your characters to hell, stop at act 1. Now is the time to designate one sorc to stay in act 1, while the other 2 characters go to act 3. Leave the game with this character, as you don't want her to get the Andy Quest.
  
  Sorc #2
  • Continue to rush the other two to trav and stop. Leave the game with the last sorc, as you do not want to get the Meph Quest.
  
  Barb #3
  • After you kill Mephisto, you may leave the game with the barb.

• Step 4 - What you should have
  • 1 Sorc in act 1
  • 1 Sorc in act 3
  • 1 Barb In act 4

• Step 5 - Leveling
  You can rush them any way you want, but keep in mind, only the barbarian can be hell leveled.
  
  I suggest for the 2x sorc's
  • Trist - 1-15
  • Tombs - 15-20
  • Cows - 20-25
  • NM Chaos - 25-50
  Keep in mind this will take some time. Feel free to try different places to level, such as act 1 hell with all the characters. You dont need a very high level sorc to do this, but 50+ is recommended.
  
  For the barbarian
  • Trist - 1-15
  • Tombs - 15-20
  • Cows - 20-25
  • Hell Chaos - 25-70
    You may level up the barb until he is maxed on BO and what ever else you would like. Even item find which you can use also.
• Step 6 - Mfing
  
  **Important** : Always make the game with the barbarian. If you make with the sorc and complete the quest, you will have to remake the sorc.
  
  • Make the game with the barb
  • Join with the other 2 sorc's
  • Party up and go to catacombs waypoint
  • Bo your characters, and mf as normal.
  • Kill andy with Sorc #1, And mephy with #2

___________________________________________________________


Optional:

• 1x Paladin for Diablo Bugged Drops
  You must have decent gear to be able to do hell chaos in classic. Don't think that set gear or a shotty built hammerdin will be able to do chaos easily, this is only recommend for users with very good gear.
  • Rush and level the paladin as you would the barbarian.
  • Make sure to complete the diablo quest on the barbarian
  • Then follow the steps of mfing as said above.
• 2x Computer Screens
  You will never know the power of dual screens until you try them. They will make your life easier, trust me.
  • On one computer screen you can have the Barb, and the other 2 sorc's on the other window. This will cut down on clutter and keep you from making the mistake of making the game with the sorc. Obviously you will need another monitor and dual video card outputs.

Giggity giggity, good guide!

You only need to go to act2 after killing andy for quest in that game, then she's bugged forever.. so you need only 1 sorc

Please elaborate

You can permanently bug Andy to give the quest drop, so you don't need to use 2 sorc's.

To bug her permanently, simply do the following:
1) Kill Andy for the quest
2) Take the auto TP back to town. - Own TP will screw it.
3) Talk to Warriv only in camp (Cain is OK, other NPC's will screw the bug)
4) Go East, S&E

She will now drop quest quality every time you kill her.

Ok , well thats for andy.

You can still follow this guide for mephy, diablo

Very good

Thanks

Can you prove this, or someone else confirm this? If so this is a really good thing. Thanks ^^

The proof is in the drops. When you've quest bugged a boss correctly, they will never, ever drop a "low quality" item like potions, arrow quivers, gold, keys, and non-magic items. You'll be seeing mostly gems, runes, and magic+ items (blue or better--including charms and jewels). I've done many runs both bugged and not and can personally vouch for the difference.

Also, I don't think you have to S&E immediately after going to act 2, I've simply continued on with my game after doing the bug and it seems to work just fine.
