I'm sure I'm not the only one who runs this run or something similar, but here is my act 3 run.
Short Version:
Checkpoint from The Core of Arreat.
Waypoint to The Tower of the Damned Level 1.
Waypoint to Arreat Crater.
Proceed through Tower of the Cursed Level 1 & 2.
Portal and Waypoint to Bridge of Korsikk.
Waypoint to Rakkis Crossing.
Portal and Waypoint to The Keep Depth Level 1.
Immediately go to The Keep Depths Level 2.
Proceed through The Keep Depths Level 3.
Waypoint to Stonefort.
Portal, identify, and start over.
Explanations and tips:
The Core of Arreat
Same map every game.
The Tower of the Damned Level 1
Same map every game.
Run in a circle to the same waypoint.
Arreat Crater*
Few random pieces generated.
Exit is always in the North East corner.
Tower of the Cursed Level 1
Same map every game.
Little, white monsters, few elites, and good chance for goblins.
Quick.
Tower of the Cursed Level 2
Two maps can be generated here, both quick.
Little, white monsters, few elites, and good chance for goblins.
Quick.
Requires teleporting.
Bridge of Korsikk*
Slightly random, but work around the edges of the map in a circle, back to the original waypoint.
Rakkis Crossing*
Slightly random, but a straight path.
Tip: The Charred Door, click it and if a guy comes out saying help me. There is a champion or elite pack in the room. If not, there is just a vendor inside.
Requires teleporting.
The Keep Depths Level 2*
Lots of random.
Exit is always on the west.
The Keep Depths Level 3
Slightly random.
Do a quick tab to your map when entering to check and see where the waypoint is. This way you can hit the dead ends first.
South is always a dead end.
Stonefort
Same map every game.
Keywarden likes to hide off the paths.
Teleport out.
*these maps are dense with monsters.
I do this run on all my characters and it works well for me. Average gear you can get it done under 30 minutes. Not saying its the best run for loot or xp, but it works for me, and its not as repetitive as some runs.
The items I pick up are, 1 handed weapons (minus crossbows), rings, amulets, gloves, shoulders, and of course legendaries. By the end of the run, my bags are full of these items. On some occasions i do have to teleport and identify items. Since paragon level 60 on my monk, I have got about 1.5 legendaries and hour.
Change it up to whatever fits your build and gear.
It's the same run that everyone does ever since Alkaizer streamed his way to paragon 100. However, you added Keep level 1 (as Archon, I never go there because way too few monster to keep Archon up) and Tower of the Cursed 1+2. I prefer to use the waypoint in Tower 1 after finishing Crater 2, because I'm sick of maps that always look the same, and besides that I feel that these two levels are not really great in terms of what they offer for loot/XP or to overcome boredom... so skip.
But thanks for putting it into text, prefer that over videos (the other thread)
1) keep 3's south does not have to be dead end. I have found an entrance on the south side.
2) If you do stonefort, skycrown should have more enemies. Just use stonefort waypoint and walk back.
Tower of the Curse Level 1 & 2. I run both these with my wizard in archon. After doing Crater 2, archon is up to atleast 2 mins, and you can get through both levels in 2 to 3 minutes. Each level has 1 to 3 elites and a chance for a goblin. The only problem i have as archon is my armor usually falls off halfway through level 2.
Keep Depths Level 3 however, i will agree with you about archon. All the back tracking does mess that up.
@Orb if the entrance is in the south your probably not gonna go back through it, so i kinda see that as a dead end :). I've thought about doing skycrown after stonefort, just haven't yet.
