Countess has poor drops and takes to long to get there

Trav is a good spot and you can run it. However there are many builds that are better for trav farming and even on p1 your merc (andy helmet) will sometimes be insta removed by mass hydras, which is annoying.

Tunnels arent efficient as well, a coldsorc will run faster with 500+ mf.

Worldstone keep is a bad area to run for light soso. Lots of LIs, some of therm cant be broken by infy. Exploding mobs dont drop any items, some really tough opponents can spawn there, density is not as high as you think.

Lightsorc is probably the fastest p1 baalrunner and baal can drop any item in the game. If you dont care about exp and only about items, imo you shouldnt do baal and focus on cs/pits.

Ou yeah, great explanation!

Now i have much clearer some concepts!

Considering your clarifications and reasoning, do you think this would be a good run?

Pit-Andy-Cows-Meph-LK-CS-Dia-Pindle-Eldritch-Shenk

Or i Must focus, as you say on Pit+Cs only?

Would you add or remove something?

Thank you so much :D

I said always do it, not only do that. It's an 85 area with one of the best super unique bosses in the game.

I would also take out rakanishu, contess and some of the lower level crap. You can also add Nihlatack.

Right now i'm doing:

Pit-Andy-LK-Meph-CS+Dia-Pindle-Eldritch-Shenk

I'm thinking if do cows or not, and what about Pindle-Eldritch and Shenk.
I prefer not to do Nihlatack.
I should clear CS from the entrance? clear it normal or make only seals? (I'm not sure if i can do it)

Thanks :D

It's not needed, but if you're looking to improve the run then that's where you start. My light sorc build has always been:
(might want to explore crescent moon if you play in higher player games)


curios why crescent moon?

I would clear all CS. From your new list, everything looks good. You could also add ancient tunnels. or even the area with frozenstein, forgot its name.
