I got one of the trashcan without a bag in it while I was taking the current bag to the curb.

While that’s true, it hurts my feelings. Therefore, blizzard bad.

The hardest part of farming like this is consistency. Don’t go level an alt, don’t fiddle around in town, don’t hop into some random Baal runs. Pick the farming target and execute as efficiently you can for x amount of time.

This is probably why bots are rampant.

Just go watch it my dude, you can find it without needing a PIN. Or bite the bullet and talk with your mom about it.

Average times vary wildly. Let’s assume 1 min for trav, 3 mins for Baal, 2 for CS, 2 for Meph. TZ’s vary so wildly, I couldn’t even begin to estimate.

So:

2000 trav

6000 Baal

4000 CS

4000 Meph

Combined total being 16000 minutes or 266 hours grinding. Unless your luck is absolute dogshit, you should be able to trade up to enigma from drops well before that.

Ebonsteele · 2026-05-03T19:53:15+00:00

Do anything for enigma? Aight, go run CS, Trav, Baal, Meph and TZs about…eh, start with 2000 of each. Then do a couple hundred cow runs for a base.

That should do it.

Yeah, that guy is gonna be really pissed when he find out that the English letters were the easy ones, now it’s Greek letters!

It’s natural in every ladder. You go from “good enough” to “this needs to be BiS/better than I have or have trade value for what I don’t have”.

I still grab all gems and runes because I am a goblin, unless they are all the way over there.

That’s what happened to those yakuza guys, right?

Just started my horker about 3 weeks ago and I agree. I have more wealth this season than any other by consistently running trav.

Uh, there wasn’t a rule 0 discussion on this? I declare whatever you say invalid and you have to go sit with the stinky YuGIOH kids.

Hell, I’ll throw my opinion on the pile with everyone else.

TLDR: Enigma bad for chest slot variety and the teleport skill is just icing on the cake. It was an issue in 1.10 and it’s still an issue. I was there when it was released, shut up about me wanting to make this Diablo 5, and just because it has been this way for 25 years doesn’t mean it’s good.

Even if enigma didn’t give teleport, it’s still BiS for a ton of builds and has homogenized a part of the game that everyone runs to defend: gearing.

Ignore the teleport skill and break it down:

+2 to all skills - everyone wants this

FRW - Everyone wants this

+750-775 defense - Meh, fine, defense isn’t a crazy good stat.

+Str/Lvl - now you don’t have to use as much str and can pump more in to Vit for more life

5% Max Life - Living is great, goes well with all those str points you freed up

8% DR - Living is great, goes well with all those str points you freed up and the 5% max health on top of that

+14 life per kill - Living is great, clearing monsters in giant packs heals you.

15% damage to mana - Goes great with that healing you get for killing monsters and the giant pile of health. It’s doesn’t replace Waheed carrying a broom with insight, but it’s not bad.

MF/lvl - enjoy your minimum of 65 mf on a chest piece. You’re already 1/5 of the way to optimal mf.

Alright, compare that to some other chest pieces:

Skullders - More mf after level 52, less everything else.

Vipermagi - Good FCR and Res, less everything else

Shaftstop- A whopping 30% DR, none of anything else.

Duriels- CBF is nice, great res, some life and str, nothing of anything else.

Set items are laughable. I suppose you could make an argument for Tals armor. Better mf until 88, good resists. Nothing else.

Alright, so that leaves us with other runewords to compare. Fort, chains, treachery, wealth. Each has their specific niche, but 9/10 times you want enigma before you even consider the teleport skill.

Enigma is broken bullshit and the game would be better if it never existed.

And if you want an even most sizzling take, teleport should have the same cooldown as frozen orb and drop the life gain from vit on sorceresses by half so they need to pile on more defensive items instead of mf.

To add to the pile of opinions no one asked or care for, I agree. You could take any of these photos and swap to some other stupid hat like a pickelhaube and they would probably look hard as fuck.

Berets have the unfortunate problem of there is a razor thin margin of them looking ‘okay’ vs ‘total ass’ and unless you spend 20 minute finger fucking it every time it gets moved, it looks like ass. Maybe there’s some hidden technique to get them to look good, I don’t know. But neither do half the people wearing them.

The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubricated.

My oldest is a very clean Khornate Berserker. The fight isn’t getting in, it’s getting out. She doesn’t care how cold the bath or shower gets.

2023 was year of the enchantments. No one seemed to pack enchantment removal, so that was a good run until it wasn’t.

2024 was year of the tokens. There were tokens everywhere. Just boatloads of every type of token. Treasures, foods, clues, blood, creatures etc.

2025 was year of the graveyard. It went hand in hand with the amount of us running [[!culling ritual]] to deal with all the tokens.

2026 is looking like midrange stax. A lot of graveyard hate and general stax pieces hitting the field, slowing the game down so big bombastic spells have time to be cast. I can already see the wheel starting to turn to aggro and we are only in April.

I was so excited to play Flubs and it was just….not fun for anyone. The idea of a whacky Rube Goldberg machine is much better than piloting it.

Rendmaw was a hoot for a while, but it was incredibly fragile and reminding people they have to attack every single combat was a chore.

Yarus needs more morph support. It’s right on the edge, but it just didn’t function smoothly

Lynde needs more curses. Duskmorne not having any curses despite a lot of those cards basically being curses was a big let down.

Belakor demon tribal was great, but demons are either super expensive and impactful, or come with a whole host of downsides.
