    For a Shatter mage Darkhold 4-43, is the fastest gold per minute. If you get a Frostfire belt, Morgenhiem is not bad if you thermal shock him at 39+ stacks. He takes forever until you get high damage output.
    Just a note for my account in the A/B testing world right now, if you got the low test, Heroic and Legendary mode DO NOT provide enough extra gold, jewels or mats to make the extra time worth it. Stick with normal mode. In Darkhold you need to be able to hit for 800k damage with a single shot to one shot everything but the "boss", 1M to one shot him.
    Morgenhiem you need to be able to hit for 90M in short order to make the runs effective.

    Chest farming for Ledgendary gear (BoM on the cheap) The Defiler Legendary mode, avg 1 chest per 3 runs. This doesn't mean you see one every three runs, you can go up to 10 without seeing one and than see 3 in one level.

    erm
    as a Story Mode Lover
    for me:

    if Gold: Darkhold Citadel
    Mats: Morghenheim
    somethin in between?:: The Temple
    Would never used even the cheap 50% boosters: "Scartree Forest". frequently stuck here and there, merry go round, back & forth, time-consuming etc etc. It's some kind of " magnetic place" this: Scatree Forest.
    in ANB's?: The Levanian Jungle (most relaxing with decent amount of this and that)
    i could go on and on and on etc etc
    thank you

    Have to agree this assessment,Rakshul is a beast! However,you also gain extra mats with Rakshul run .....

    I want to say here that i see a lot of advice for new players to farm morgenheim for gold. But it not really good advice for brand new players to do so because rakshul has a lot of vitality... unless a brand new player is already playing with a decent gear set, it takes a lot longer to defeat him that it does to defeat sivari in the catacombs, for example.

    Rakshul isnt so bad in normal and heroic modes but, in legendary mode it can take longer to defeat him than it does to run through all of the enemies in the rest of the entire level. If you are running with a costly gold multiplier, its not very economical to run morgenheim...

    There are as many or more chests on demeter. Darkhold citadel is a good one. Drakenmoor catacombs, and even scartree forest are the better bets for players starting out

    No, in general, this is no difference where you socket the gemstones. I can think of only one situation that where you socket a gemstone makes a difference, the shield for a shield warrior. Even in that case, it is not the gemstone that makes the difference. Rather than the gemstone directly making a difference, the difference comes from the Sword and Board ability. That is the only ability that I can think of which is directly impacted by where you socket a gemstone.

    I am a total newbie - just wondering if it make a difference on what jewel gets socketed into certain equipment? E.g. if I put +40% common diamond armor on a shield, will it provide better return than putting it on a weapon?

    The data indicates, for gemstones, run 4-47, killing most of the monsters (from where you spawn, don't go backwards; focus on the elites) but not opening side chests. At the end, open the 2 chests but stay only just long enough to collect the big flood of loot. As soon as the flood subsides, exit & repeat.

    For Essences, run 4-47.

    In ANB event, due to limited time, most of people will not go to Act 4 but only complete Act I, or some levels in Act 2 (Canyon of Whisper)

    The trick is that the level is very very short. After 15 runs, you mostly landed next to the big chest at end level and just need few seconds to take it.

    Strategy during a timed event is completely different. Any time spent 'farming' anything (except grinding XP) is a difficult compromise to make. Therefore choose whether, what & where you farm, very carefully.
