[Act4] [Inferno] The Great Span(Weapon Rack Farming)

I noticed a couple of people were interested in this, so I created a profile too see what it was all about.

Profile Setup:

1. Create a new game with the quest "Prime Evil - Begin Quest"
2. Run through too "The Silver Spire Level 1" and find "The Great Span Portal" on that Level(You will hit a checkpoint just before the portal)
3. Aslong as part 2 went correct, you should now have a checkpoint just before "The Great Span Portal" - I would suggest logging out after you do so
4. Load the profile and hit start

This profile will run the length of the path too just before the boss fight area destroying all objects and looting the weapon racks, then it will logout and repeat itself. There are between 0-2 weapon racks each run, so sometimes you can be lucky, and others will be really bad

I am currently running this on a 60 wizard with 250% Magic Find with the setup:

LMB: Electrocute - Forked Lightning
RMB: Slow Time - Time Warp
Slot 1: Diamond Skin - Crystal Shell
Slot 2: Familiar - Sparkflint
Slot 3: Magic Weapon - Force Weapon
Slot 4: Energy Armor - Force Armor

This is run with the following settings:

Destroy Objects at Distance: 60
Kill Radius: 20
Loot Radius: 40

The kill radius is low too prevent it attacking adds which may attack you before entering the portal.

All in all this is my first profile I have made and im not expecting it too be brilliant. I have been running it with about 80% success apart from those pesky dark spawns(sometimes tyreal manages too kill them for me)

I Would not recommend running this AFK as objects can sometimes contain dark spawns which will kill you if you are running in MF gear. Apon death the profile messes up as the checkpoint is in the previous room. Also you are unable too TP in The Great Span, so manual selling etc is required.

 

ill check it out after i get my pizza brb xD

 

you just couldnt have found a more of a PAIN IN THE ASS location to get to a checkpoint ay?

 

maybe lol, i got my spot by kind of cheating , made the game in normal and got the checkpoint. joined a public inferno game, left that game and then pressed resume, i was on inferno at the same spot :O

 

Sounds like a nice glitch, will have to try this out!

 

wish i had hought of that. pained my ass through on inferno to get there
Just sucks that my templar is a fucking moron and attacks mobs when i enter the game and causes me to die

very rarely do i get weapon racks its like 20% to get 1 in there :/


just seems you arent able to use templar to get more magic find :/ they are retarded and causes fucktons of deaths

i loose 20% MF when not using him so im only at 231%

plus do you have a loot rules that keeps all blue and yellow and stashes em in bank? i only have ones that sell and am i correct that this doesnt have repair function?

 

True, i've noticed a few times i'll not get a rack for ages, but then other times i get 2x in like 3 games in a row. It's all RNG tbh

Just leaving this running the rest of today too how it ends up, mainly created the profile for the people who wanted it.

and on that note, the racks do atleast drop yellows! just got one

EDIT: just noticed your edit , im using templar and recording no problems with him are you using the same settings as i am?

 

something wrong with it... i start it after logging into checkpoint then instead of going to click on the portal it starts Heartstoning....???

 

hmmm, it cant repair/salvage or sell no as you cannot teleport inside the great span. as for yours teleporting I have no idea :/ mines currently running fine nonstop for 68 runs now(shows you how slow the bag fills up lol)

i'm using the default loot rules seeing as i empty the bags myself anyway

 

You get anything worth selling yet? Or just hoping for a multi-million gold item once in a while?

 

When you die inside (a shadow mob spawns from killing the things on the ground) you respawn and then it runs in the opposit direction of the spire and then stalls :/

and ya you sure anyhting good drops from the racks? i meen i can get like 1.8 million in a night and thats gold right in my bags for this to be worth it you would need to get atleast 1 item that sells for 2+ mill

 

You've made me very happy. I put up the thread in requests for this, so thanks very much for taking the time for making it. I'll try it later hopefully. At the moment demonbuddy isn't working for me. Posted a thread on the support forums, so I'll see how it goes.

You can teleport to town before you take the portal to the great span, ie, the very start of a run. Could repairs, selling and stashing be implemented this way?
Thanks again dude.

 

theres a chance at any act3/4 weapon blue or yellow, the only reason im running it is too see if its worth it

and the problem with gold runs is that all the best items are now in the RMAH, so without real money you wont get the best anyway :/

 

Thats an idea that could work, not sure how too set it up and if its doable yet tho.

I would also recommend being ranged using templar when doing this aswell, my characters been managing too kill the odd gloom wraith that spawns without any hassle while the templar and tyreal tank it.

PS: sorry double post!

 

the script needs to be edited ive died inside now 4 times and when it revives it goes the wrong way and gets stuck :/
i just dont know how

 

Its my scripting, it isnt the best tbh but it works aslong as you dont die, i will have a twiddle around and see if i can fix it.

 

ye the spawn rate for these ghost killers is very high. 7th time i die now and script stops working

It needs to have a section where it re-enters shrine after it dies

 

trying too get 1 too kill me is harder then i thought lol, they just wont spawn for me >.>(testing different script)

finally managed too die, and script wouldnt work - I would suggest getting a better scripted too have a look or try a wizard as mine doesnt die very often, if at all >.<

i think its mainly because the portal is at random co ords everytime and i haven't put co ords on it for that reason. I aint 100% sure tho >.<

 

you could just upload ur new test script and ill try it cause those fuckers spawn and kill me every 5 min

 

I've found that the gloom wraiths only spawn when you break things. There's never an enemy in the area when you enter. Is it possible to set it so you don't break the vile lesions? And only angels, repositories and weapon racks? That would decrease the chance of a gloom wraith spawning, and from my own experience, vile lesions and pots in the area only drop gold now and again. Anything good I've gotten has been from weapon racks or angels.
