hey hey

so with fields of misery being one of the top choices to hold legendary farming competitions, i came across a problem with it.

as noted in the picture, the yellow arrows denotes the route that i do. teleport in, hug wall, then follow it all throughout in a circle.

the problem i noticed is that i always end up not doing the middle part.

can anyone share their insight regarding this place?

with weeping hollow, i can easily almost do the entire area if i go type writer mode

thanks

oh i'm archon

That's about what I do. I usually just go north when I zone in until I hit the edge, then go one way or the other and move around the edge of the map or kind of zig zag as I move down to clear the map between where I started and the other edge. I'm probably horribly inefficient at it though.

would the type writer mode work for fields too?

edit: i was wondering if i could meet other guy's insane dps by going mp9 instead. would my speed in mp9 meet with his mp10 speed in terms of bonus item?

i think i should start from the cemetary. i think there's a quest where you can port at the beginning of fields. just don't know which yet

im quite surprised you've even come up with this plan XD

problem i have with weeping are the slow enemies. you really can't herd them here like fields. in fields, i could gfather all map enemies to follow me then spray and pray, hope lag doesn't get me but that's how i find it the most efficient with teleport rune. i mean, teleport = mobility but low damage so why bother killing a couple of groups just to move on to the next and waste time? get them all together and you'll see it's faster. risky, yes especially with savage beast charges and those poison bombs not to mention elite/champ affixes (vortex, knockback/etc etc) and of ourse our beloved steve oederek warden

I just circle the perimeter, then hit the middle area at the end. Dont see how it has to be so complicated.

not about complicating things or anything, just tryng a different approach is all. trial and error

i believe you can get a checkpoint up where you first meet the scoundrel. then hug wall, whichever direction, and spiral.

More or less hug perimeter, the spiral inward, choose any quest after finding the crown and come in through the cemetary... I like slow enemies on my barb because while I'm runnin around killin everything, the mothers spew more guys... which works out nicely for finding mass items... fields I do the same thing, perimeter, spiral the middle

I prefer the typewriter method mostly because the way the view is angled you have greater distance of visibility when going upward.

I am archon as well and I use the typewriter method for both fields. The only issue is being able to spot the larger roadblocks that can spawn in the fields of misery, and just adjust course to go around without getting in a spot where you have to back track. I run it typically between MP4 - MP6. My dps/ehp are not really sufficient for MP9/MP10 yet, and I am farming XP so speed is what I'm after.

i'll try the spiraling thing. thanks everybody

if spiraling does not work you can always just make 2 rounds.... first round make your way to edge and follow it around the outside then once you complete circle hit town portal and go back to fields and do a smaller circle which gets the middle portion of the map.

thanks guys.

i am thinking mp9 even though my competitor can melt faces in mp10 like they owe him money

i'm really not comfortable with mp10 even with 600k+ dps @_@

the tree event spawns randomly and apparently in that map screenshot, it's there. surprisingly i have never seen it ever spawn there in my entire 2k+ game hour

I've notice that if the tree event spawns, the crypt will not. Those two seem to not spawn together.
