Talk:Lightbringer point farming

Hard Mode in DoA
How about LB farm in Veil HM? I think it gives around 1000 LB points each run. Gcardinal 02:23, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Sulfurous Wastes - note on Locked Chests
A couple times now, I have removed a note from this section saying something like, "Several Locked Chests will spawn, so bring Lockpicks." I do not see the value of having this note in there, because to me it's common sense: it's Hard Mode, OF COURSE there will be Locked Chests! There's no need to state the obvious, especially since this article is a guide for farming LB points, not Treasuer Hunter points. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 14:39, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

In Show of force quest outside remains. Do u have to talk to Officer Lohru or not? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jahora (contribs).
 * No, you don't have to speak to Lohru after you leave the Remains. I've added a note about that.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 17:27, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

I changed The Sulfurous Wastes point count to 650 (a conservative estimate given the path show). My average LB points for 5 runs was 667.2 as calculated below:
 * LB 22468 -> 23128 (660)
 * LB 18448 -> 19120 (672)
 * LB 19786 -> 20470 (684)
 * LB 20470 -> 21130 (660)
 * LB 21808 -> 22468 (660)
 * (660+672+684+660+660)/5= 667.2

I have never seen a run make under 650 points, so I think the change is valid. Hebe 19:50, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Domain of Secrets
I can farm about 190 Lightbringer in DoS outside the Gate of Madness every 6 min from titans (1900/hour). I use a 55 Spiteful Spirit and Necrosis build to kill the set of 4 titans (turns into 10 kills by the time you're done - 60 points) near the res shrine. then move on to the group with Exuro Flatus. Kill all but 2 Madness Titans (24 points) and then kill Exuro (90 points + 12 for remaining 2 titans). In addition to the Lightbringer points, i often get rare loot or Exuro's Will making this my favorite LB/HM farming spot. 66.32.200.36 01:24, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Sulfurous Wastes
I have started doing this LB point farm on my Monk for a couple of days now. The article says that if u kill the group outside the monolith area, you will have the 25 u need to get the max number of points from the bosses. However, I never get the 25 Margonites Killed message until I activate the shrine next to the shrine with the bosses, when it gets me spot on the 25 I need. Is it just me, or have other people noticed this, and therefore should it be changed?Luminarus 03:22, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 * If you're following the typical run, you will always have more than 25 before entering the temple. There a few margs near the shrine with the bounty, 3 groups outside the temple, and then 2 more groups spawn near where Alem was when you pick up the book. BigAstro 08:07, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You don't even have to kill the ones near the bounty shrine. The groups that spawn for Requiem for a Brain are always 3 groups of 5 initially (these will be south of the rez shrine near the temple), then another 2 groups of 5 after you pick up the book (these will be east of the rez shrine, so you have to backtrack).  I've earned Holy LB on 4 characters so far doing this, and the group numbers have never altered from this.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 09:52, 12 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Right, thats my prob, I missed the part where u pick up the book. I always ran straight into the temple and killed the bosses. Thanx Luminarus 04:33, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

Sory but I don't understand "A Lightbringer-only run takes about 8 minutes with a full party. " Please explain what a Lightbringer only run is. Torment 05:10, 15 August 2007 (CDT)


 * An LB-only run is where you only go for LB points, not Sunspear, meaning you don't have to kill the Awakened so it doesn't take as long. The Awakened at the beginning, between Remains of Sahlahja and the Margonite bounty shrine, can all be avoided easily.  Alem's group north of the temple, though, will usually spawn far enough east that you can't avoid them.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 08:57, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

I added a bit on the sulfurous wastes, you can kill the 3 margonite bosses wile ignoring the monoliths, just expect a messy battle, it does save about a minute or more in time. Draco Angelus 13:31, 18 August 2007 (CDT)

best spot?
so are the wastes the best spot in hard mode? it only takes 10 minutes, highest points per hour, and sunspear points to boot. looks like a win win situation to me (first post on wiki so please forgive me if i accidentally mess a post up)

There is a spot which gives approx 900points per hour with the condition that the run take no more than 8min, while if you take 2 humans u can gain 1536 points per hour provided you complete a run in 5min. Each run earns you 128 points, more available but it takes longer and death becomes a concern :p this spot is the Stygian veil, might seem slow compared to other runs...but the speed with which you can do this per run and the ease of it might make it more attractive...at most you only need yourself and 3 heros, a second human simply helps speed things up

How exactly do you farm the elementals with a 55? They all cause burning... Shattered Self 20:00, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
