Farming Terror Zones in No Time! Crazy Start to Season 8 in Diablo 2 Resurrected

What a crazy start it's been to Season 8 of Diablo 2 Resurrected! Players have been blasting through the game at lightning speeds, farming terrors zones in barely any time at all. This guide will break down the builds, strategies, and tools players have been using to reach level 99 in record time.

To kick things off, the meta builds being used to power level are basically anything that can clear Chaos Sanctuary and Ancient Tunnels in under 2 minutes. Necromancer and Barbarian are particularly strong choices right now. Necromancers are running bone/poison Nova builds to clear large packs instantly. Meanwhile, Whirlwind Barbarians are literally a whirlwind of destruction tearing through everything.

In terms of gearing, players are using optimal runewords like Infinity, Enigma, Grief, and Fortitude to boost damage and clear speeds. Budget options like Smoke runeword for teleport and budget damage or lifetap options also get the job done. For Necromancers, getting +skill items like +3 Necro amulets or diadems is key for reaching the breakpoints needed.

As for the farming strategy itself, a lot of players are following a rotation hitting up Chaos Sanctuary, Ancient Tunnels, and the Worldstone Keep level 3 superunique packs over and over.



Here are the typical steps involved:

  1. Use a Sorceress with Enigma armor and Infinity weapon for immunes to do Chaos Sanctuary runs over and over with players following behind to leech experience.
  2. As soon as one character hits level 75 or 80, start running Ancient Tunnels with players following for XP. Teleport is very useful here and Enigma is a must.
  3. In between runs, hit up Worldstone Keep level 3 for the super unique monster packs which drop great runes and items.
  4. Sell any good items or runes to buy more gear upgrades and keep optimizing builds.
  5. Rinse and repeat the rotation to efficiently level up.


To really take it to the next level, some groups are utilizing advanced strategies:

  • Having a second Elite character to provide "+X to all skills" gear swaps for everyone else's damage.
  • Coordinating precise baal/mf runs rotations with teleports to maximize efficiency.
  • Tracking overall group kills/time using spreadsheets to optimize routes and upgrades even further.

All in all, with these optimized builds, strategies and tools, it's no surprise we're seeing players reach level 99 after just a few days of playing! However, sustaining this pace of leveling will require maintaining upgrades to stay competitive. So if you're looking to get in on the action, consider buying cheap and fast D2R season 8 items on MTMMO.COM to give your character the edge needed to keep up. Have fun out there in Sanctuary and happy farming!
