AFK farming - Act V THE HIVE

[SeaNanners]

Still working... Using this to level up a witch doctor to 70 (I hate WD) while I watch cartoons/eat lunch.

Cartoons? Are you 11? Oh do you mean ANime?

[SeaNanners]

Btw I'm sure it's hotfixed. Only works if you are still in the same game before the hotfixed.

Cartoons? Are you 11? Oh do you mean ANime?

To be honest, I have 2 kids. One is 5 next month, the other is almost two. All the good 'adult' programs aren't on until late evening, so the TV belongs to them for the early afternoon/lunchtime. So I watch cartoons (and anime sometimes too). I don't see any reason to be ashamed that I'm in my 30s and watch adventure time or whatever else is on. Do what makes you happy, and forget what the world thinks.

Btw I'm sure it's hotfixed. Only works if you are still in the same game before the hotfixed.

Any proof..?

Yeah, just made a game, definitely still getting loot/xp/gold. Haven't gotten a legendary, but I think it's safe to guess that their loot tables haven't been entirely removed.

I get exp, but the mobs only drop gold and crafting mats, never dropped any gear

Bad RNG, I guess. The mobs have a really low drop-rate, so keep that in mind. I had a rare and a blue drop in T2, upped to T5, I'm looking at a blue "Chromatic Ascended Gauntlets of Razors". I doubt it matters, but I'm in Adventure Mode.

Ran this for the better part of 4-5 hours. Was in the room so I could keep an eye on it and occasionally pick up loot/gold... Didn't get a half an inventory's worth of items, but it did drop 1 leg. Granted, I was solo on T1 so I didn't have to worry about my character dying... so maybe T6 would've given 2-3 legs? Obviously not a great way to farm gear, but a great AFK way to level/farm.

Just got home from work and came upon 7 legendary on the floor. I'm glad they haven't hotfixed this yet.

5 hours= 3 legendaries, 500k gold and 2 paragon levels (~400m xp)

my fault... edit..

been doing this for 2 days straight with a custom script and come back ever now and then to repair gear. its definitely still working but its pretty damn low xp and gear compared to "the great weapon". I've gotten 1 legendary and a little gold thus far. so legs do drop, just low because you dont kill mobs as fast (farming t6)

You do know it's dumb to do it in t6 right? Unless you can kill mobs extremely fast, stick with t1 - t3. Ever since ROS came out, they implemented a system where if your character is active and farming for 1-2hours+ then a legendary will guarantee drop. There is no reason to do t6 for a "better chance of leg drop" when you're only killing white mobs. Maybe if you were killing elites then that would be a different story.

As I have mentioned, you do NOT do this exploit while sitting and watching your computer screen. This method is for AFK farming only. If you keep picking up gold and loot while doing this then you're wasting a lot of time that could have been spent to kill more mobs. I have been doing this for 4 days straight now and when it's on, I'm never near my computer. I'm either at work or in my dream. Once I do come home or wake up and check, I see massive amount of gold, blue, yellow, and a minimum of 5 legendary on the floor.

But as I have mentioned, if you do not have spaulders of zaruka (makes your items indestructible) then don't even think about doing this and going afk for more than 4+ hours. Only result you'll come across is death and a disconnected message while the legendary is on the floor.

Pretty sure the mobs spawn every 8 seconds or at least they are for me, regardless of torment level (timed on T2/T4/T5). The differing torment level may not help drop chance all that much for white mobs, but I don't see a reason not to do it on a higher torment if you're able to do it --assuming the mobs do spawn on a timer.

Guys this been hot fixed. How are you still doing this?
