Which of these options do you people think is better for my early Bonesnap?

1) Normal Diablo + Pindle + Eldritch + Thresh Socket runs
2) Normal Pindle + Eldritch + Thresh Socket runs (Merc always dies against Diablo so it can get annoying, and CS runs take quite a while to do, although they do offer the seal bosses which can drop it as well)
3) NM Pit runs (Take some time)

In the Norm scenarios I would have 102% MF, and in NM I would have 58% MF. Diablo has the best chance to drop it out of all of these options, but NM Pit could drop additional good items and runes that can't drop in Norm.

Any input? Or are there other, better runs? I can't really do NM Andy yet, even though I know she would be the best :/ I would like to just get this Bonesnap and go straight to farming NM Meph, because I'm pretty sure I'll be there for ages.

edit: I may try to farm Countess for an Io and make a 'Black' Maul. This should allow me to Farm NM Andy which will be the quickest route to Bonesnap and she also has the chance to drop Ribcracker. So I think I will go with this fourth, hidden option for now haha.

I would also make countess till I have the runes I need anyways, then see what progress I can do.
farming norm is pointless imo, better items in higher lvl maps >

Yeah I just had this idea of blazing into NM with a Bonesnap ready to go and owning everything. Guess it doesn't work like that :lol:

Andy will probably still be a little bit hard with a Black maul but I think it's the best bet :thumbsup: Ty for input

I picked into a early bonesnap from normal Diablo on my 2H zealer, it has been really great. I'm currently farming NM Andy but the bonesnap tears through everything easily.

Kill Diablo 100 times and you will get it.

I'm not so sure about that. The odds are 1:200+ from Diablo, and it takes about 10 minutes per run. That's 33~ hours of Normal Chaos, IF it does drop along with the odds. But I've learned not to trust those odds after Hypatia had to do 1500 runs to get a 1:600 item. I think going for the 'Black' Maul and farming NM Andy will be more fruitful for now :)

Getting that +1


Amn


Decided to go back to Normal and do a few Diablo runs to see how I liked it. Horked some Sander's gloves and stashed them for now.

This was the first Diablo run, and the only uniques found in 3 runs. Started to question if NM may be better because more items can drop, and then made the plan to farm Countess for an Io for a 'Black' Maul and then running NM Andy.


The first thing I noticed in NM was that my chance to hit was awful, so I went back to Normal to hire a Blessed Aim merc


May attempt to socket this

Found this in early NM and decided to make Strength for merc with the Amn




About 200 less damage, but the CB will be great and it's faster.
