Drop Level: 34Monster level must be ≥ this value to drop. Closer area level = higher drop chance.
Nightmare Farming
For ladder starts or undergeared characters, Nightmare boss farming is efficient. A smaller loot pool means a higher chance of finding specific items compared to Hell.
NM AndarielBest for SoJ and unique rings. Small loot pool = high chance for specific items. Quest bug improves drop quality further.
NM DurielBetween Andariel and Mephisto. Drops mid-tier exceptional uniques.
NM MephistoMoat trick for safe kills. Good for mid-high exceptional uniques.
NM DiabloHigher drop level than Mephisto. Access to upper exceptional uniques.
NM BaalHighest NM drop level (mlvl 75). Can drop many elite uniques. TC pool limits some high-level bases.
Low drop level — this item can drop in most Hell areas. It is more efficient to obtain as a byproduct while farming other items.
