Hardcore Leveling Exploit

[Sh3l]

So in the first quest of act V, in the first area with the messed up view angle, you're actually immortal. Set your difficulty to Torment VI, and have fun. It's about a bar and a half per run with Leoric's Signet @ 30% xp bonus, Hellfire Ring @ 35%, and the 37% xp ruby gem.

Confirmed, just got five bars but I am only level 8. That was just with the first pack of mobs.

+1 Rep, would give more if I could

[sHoveToMe]

there are 2 pack of mobs so double ep.

[Sh3l]

Another weird thing that happens is even though you're immortal, the Wizard's anti-stupid passive that saves you upon death activates and drops you to ~45% health. Interesting.

Excellent find, but you should mention that they should not go into the teleport, just stay at the first part of ACT 5.

If you are looking for gear too, you can do this on lower torment and go past the teleport and pick up the resplendent chest.

Here is a video showing it:

The chest was hotfixed few days ago it seems.

[schlipperknoten]

yea **** this... hotfixed! Guess blizzard is also reading in this forum

Not really an exploit if it's PROGRAMMED INTO THE GAME OBVIOUSLY AND INTENTIONALLY.

So your saying that there has never been an exploit in any video game ever?

A misrepresentation of my point through a citation of partial quote and a strawman response... and an incorrect 'your' to boot!

What I'm saying now is: lol!

A chest that is blatantly on the path in the intro proceeding an area where you are obviously receiving no damage _all as intended_ is hardly "an exploit" though you are 'exploiting' it. Call it a run and put it in the guides section. Pretty sure this forum is intended for actual exploits such as trading Account Bound gems, etc.

As a note if you try to go for that chest you will likely die as you are currently only invulnerable until that very first door you click to enter, after that you will take damage. As such your gear would be limited to the tiny amount of gold the occasional spirit drops and whatever breaking the few items in that first area yields. It's a pretty damn slow way to level despite the safety, the other risk of course is that Blizzard may hotfix it to make you vulnerable between runs and if you're on t6 that will be that.

It IS an exploit. It's abusing a game mechanic that wasn't meant to be used that way. Obviously blizzard didn't intend for us to farm ACT 5 Quest 1 on T6 to level up. Therefore, it is an exploit. Stop acting like you're cool because you're a naysayer.

I found this extremely useful, good job +rep!

[Keldonv7]

may be intresting for new players w/o gear

[gordon4166]

I got the pve coaching service really enjoyed it and started see results imminently after the coaching would recommend this service! If your going to try to spend money on buying gear might as well spend it on coaching since the the dps boost you can gain from that is comparable to a major upgrade to your item level.
