Each of the Farming Locations below are separated by the Act that it involves to make navigation easier. That page goes over most of the information you should know when it comes to farming in Diablo 2. If you'd like to learn more about Treasure Class and farming the level 85 Hell zones I recommend you read my Magic Find Guide. If you're specifically targeting the best items in the game then you'll only want to focus on mobs with a level of 87 (which can only be found in the level 85 Hell zones mentioned below). Depending on what you are farming for you may want less or more mob density high mob density only really helps for Runes or if you're looking for any high level or unique set item. For more information about the moat trick check out my Mephisto guide below.Īll of the locations on this page typically meet at least two of the above criteria, usually all three.

If you use the moat trick to farm Mephisto too the risk will be extremely low and the reward very high. Andariel is the best place on Nightmare to farm Stone of Jordans (along with a few other items) but Mephisto is the location you'll want to farm for all of your pre-hell gear. If you need High Runes for Runewords early on, then I recommend you do The Countess in Nightmare as well.įor the most part those are the only 3 locations you'll want to do on Nightmare difficulty. Nightmare Andariel and Nightmare Mephisto are the only two locations you'll want to heavily farm for gear in Nightmare. If you're someone who is just getting back into Diablo 2 and you need information about where to farm so you can prepare for Hell difficulty and the locations mentioned on this page, that's easy. You may notice that the majority of locations on this page are the 'level 85' Hell zones, which are arguably the best locations to farm in the game. Unless otherwise stated, each guide on this page is made for Hell difficulty and it assumes you're farming at end game looking for non-twink items. This page contains a list of all the best farming locations in Diablo 2 and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction.
