Hey guys, I was wondering what is the method most of you use for farming for plans. I currently do MP4, A3. I go through the Keeps until I get 5 stacks, then go after Ghom. Is this one of the more efficient methods?
Also, does the new Amulet plan drop just the same as the other new ones, or is it purchased somewhere?
Questions about the new plansSource
from 1.07 patch notes:
Crafting Plans and Jeweler Designs have been added for all of the new Rare recipes listed above
These plans (excluding the chest piece) will drop randomly in the world and have a chance to drop off the following bosses when you have 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor:
Skeleton King
Spider Queen
Maghda
Zoltun Kulle
Ghom
Cydaea
Rakanoth
Izual
so do ur usual farming route but keep in mind the mini-boss present in that act.
As a further point of clarification: while those 8 sub-bosses have an increased chance to drop crafting plans when you have 5 stacks of Nephlem Valor, they do not have an increased chance to drop gem designs.
02/14/2013 04:23 PMPosted by LaurelyndI prefer farming Maghda for the crafting plans. Start on the City of Blood/ Lair of the Witch quest, pop over to BCM for quick 3-4 NV stacks, then from the Road to Alcarnus WP to Maghda's front door you're bound to encounter another 1-2 elite packs to top yourself up. Takes less than 10 min per run, could be done even faster if you're running on low MP setting.
This is the run that I am currently doing, but my personal goal is to get a crafting plan from every mini boss, just for kicks. Maghda has been a little reluctant to drop the plans for me, but I am running it with no Monster Power for now. How many plans have you all found by farming?
