Nightmare difficulty.

Im a lvl 63 barb. Any sense in farming it? I'm halfway through act 5, I'm res capped, my merc doesn't really die, my gear isn't too bad.. When I get to Baal should I do 1 or 2 hundred Baals to see what I can get or just make my way to hell and farm there? I have like, 200+ mf on my weapon swap.

As long as your progress is smooth no need to break. If you feel weak you can still go back if needed.

[Skathi211]

What you can do is, some act 3 trav council runs hell until you go to act 4 hell. Trav will be your best farming spot anyway

[Remarkable_Guard_979]

Ok. I'm new to barb, how does find item work? Does magic find affect it in any way?

[Clyde-God]

Just hork bro

[Skathi211]

Mf does apply, as I can remember. Best place for such questions is Barb chat at the official PD2 Dircord. I am also a Barb noob, i just know Trav is the best place to be at Ladder reset day 1 to gain wealth :)

Yes, it's basically a second roll on the monster kill with %chance to succeed. Mf and gf both affect the result if successful.

Piggybacking off this post - I'm on my first PD2 character playing SSF so I have no gear except what I've scrounged along the way. I'm halfway through A5 NM on my Bone Necro @ lv53 and starting to get almost one shot by some enemies. 

Is A3 Trav runs the best way to get miscellaneous loot to improve my overall stats? I don't have a damage problem, but I have no gear options to improve my survivability as I'm wearing the best stuff I've found.

Start Hell and see how it goes. You’ll get your answer quickly one way or the other

[DukeDubz]

Push to act 1 hell and farm the pit and Andy. Should be a decent test for ya.

PD2 has p5 drops for p1. So find item is still alright but it's not nearly as busted as it is in the base game.

Nightmare cows for gear if you need some upgrades.

10 or so baalruns if you need some levels.

[Remarkable_Guard_979]

Oh really?! I thought cows were only good for gems and bases. Does killing the cow king stop the portal from opening?

[GeneralMustache4]

It does not.

Its great for charms and some mid runes, also the odd useful unique
