Per the blue posts from Lyrria, it seems that all monsters in 1.05 will now share the same ilvl/loot tables across each act (which was the original idea with inferno all along)
I'm not sure if this affects health/dmg pools for each monster per act however. If that isn't the case and act 1 monsters have less hp/dmg won't this be the most ideal place to farm again? Granted act 3 at lvl's 8-10 wasn't too bad.
If there have been other posts to douse these speculations I'd be happy to hear about it.
Assuming you are on at least MP1, everything is level 63. I believe this means the health, damage, and xp of act 1 monsters gets increased roughly on par with act 3. So ideally all acts will be roughly equal in both difficulty and reward, and you get to choose where you'd like to farm.
I've tested a bit on PTR yesterday. Act 1 > Festering woods > warrior's rest (or the other can't remember) > 1 elite roughly 650k to 800k xp and 2 mins run with ML 3 and PL 17 + MF gear I had around 290mf.
15 runs, 3 ilvl 63 (1x gloves for my ww build worth roughly 30mio) + 1x pants and boots (both ~ 2 to 3 mio on live AH). Imo this is quite some insane xp and item farming spot.
hmmm interesting...I doubt I'll even be doing MP10 anyway, I'll probably just go at 6MP for faster runs which in turn equals out to better more loot. As far as EXP I'm not really concerned about hitting 100paragon in x amount of days. as far as the acts are concerned I may do what someone suggested and just simply go by act to farm up keys.
I will be starting act 1 until i get the key, then act 2 etc... until i build the machine, then its back to square 1:D, until i get a ring that suits my needs
There is a nice incentive now to actually do all the acts.

Yeah, I imagine the rings should take a good deal of time considering the RNG with drop rates and portal spawns...have they said how much dmg that hellfire ball does?

The best farming routes will totally depend on mob density.
act 1
festering woods
watch tower
whimsyshire
act 2
Vault of the assasin
blackstone canyon (?)
act 3
alkaizerx farming route
I'm going to try out vault but alkaizerx's farming route is ridiculous (As a soon to be nerfed barb), 1 minute to kill 3-5 packs and most other's take about 30 sec to locate and kill. One thing to remember is that if it takes you 30 sec to kill a ranged pack it's time to go find the next pack. Not worth the time.
It will probably be most optimal to do a farming route and cap it with killing the key wardens build up some machines and make some rings.
However I like everyone else is farming out some rings then flipping to farming.

Will farm it for a while I guess.
bettermore loot. As far as EXP I'm not really concerned about hitting 100paragon in x amount of days. as far as the acts are concerned I may do what someone suggested and just simply go by act to farm up keys.cool, looks like A1 farming it is.
Anyone see the relative XP gain difference between ML10 and ML5 or ML1?
