Just wonder if anyone has been running reset quests and kill Mal for guarantee leg drops? if so how fast can you get to him? do you think it is an efficient way to farm legs?
I'm not sure... If you clear it on normal - t1 is could go really fast but that 1 guaranteed legendary does not make it so effecient. That guaranteed leg can be a crappy two handed mace or something. Sure you will get some legendaries along the way but isn't that just like playing bounties / rifts just without the added bonuses of blood shards / forgotten souls, etc?
Well, by doing this you would also do 25 bounties along the way :-) You obviously don't because it's story mode.
But yeah, doing bounties and/or rifts only is imho the best way to get overall things from this game (XP, gold, gems, legendaries, crafting mats, shards, and so on). Sure, you can do some Core runs for 10% more legendaries or so, but next week you need to do HoA runs for white items, and so on... but in general I believe just doing bounties, rifts, or entire playthroughs is the most rewarding gameplay overall.
Yea I agree doing bounty and rift is more efficient but a guaranteedrop could be very exciting too. Im just wondering if there are any players doing this. I think if you could run through the entire story mode within one hour it might be worth it?
Ha, of course. You're right. Haven't touched story mode since release, completely forgot about that :-) Thanks!
yea... there isnt really any reason to do story mode now. adventure mode is more fun (in my opinion) and you can go anywhere and kill anything you want!

I would love to see someone do the entire 5 act story in an hour. Realistically it will take 3ish hours maybe less if you cheese it and d normal mode, but then you get less legendaries dropping from mobs and chests so it kind of defeats the whole point of gaining legendaries doesnit it?

There's a speed run achieve for under an hour. Its not hard

The achievement is 1 hour per act, not 1 hour for 5 acts. I suppose with enough movement speed you can get it down to an hour or 2. Never tried it though.
It's under 1 hour PER ACT, so realistically you can do all 5 in about 2.5 hours doing it on normal, maybe faster with certain classes with movement speed buffs/gear, DPS is never an issue in normal as you one shot pretty much everything even act bosses.

59 minutes and 59 seconds is, technically, under an hour too. I'm not sure why you're automatically equating "under one hour" with "30 minutes" as they CLEARLY are not the same thing.
That being said, even at 30 minutes per act I doubt one guaranteed legendary per 2.5 hours is worth being forced into doing campaign mode on normal.

I think he's saying that the achievement is for less than an hour, but that someone who is focused on optimizing their speed by repeatedly running the campaign will realistically be able to expect to do an act in quite a bit less than an hour. Like half an hour.

Exactly what I'm saying
Thus not worth it as you get 1-2 legs from rifts and even more doing core or manglemaw runs.
You still get legendaries on the way while you are clearing all act quests. I think it is worth it if played in a group where you always split to look for the next level etc.
1- Not as efficient as gaining legs/mats/shards in adventure mode
2- Boring unless you've only completed the story mode on 1 character
3- Unless they make it that you get a guaranteed leg from every act boss, I'll never touch story mode again.
story mode guaranteed legendary only for Mal, so its guaranteed legendary for spending 2.5+ hours of your time.
in adventure mode, for that spent time, you pretty much get at least one legendary + shards and caches. Also you get more exp and other items just by killing mobs, then in story mode, where to minimize time before Mal, you skip 99% of packs.
Also beware, because I think if you reset the story and you have not completed the story on any other character, the Adventure Mode will be locked until you complete the story again.
Not sure about this, because I don't want to try it, but I think that is how it works?
I would be very surprised if it worked like that, since it's "relatively" easy to reset quests by misclicking.
I had a friend who did a reset of his quests just before RoS was released, and he had to quest through all of the story to unlock Adventure Mode at least. But maybe if it is unlocked once, it stays like that forever. I don't know.
Thats how adventure mode gets unlocked, by completing the story mode. He didn't have to reset quests prior to RoS release, could've only cleared Act V like most did.
