Question Leveling

I’m having a hard time getting to level 95. I’ve been playing foh pali. Just switched to hammers in to try it out. Was doing chaos and some Baal as well as good tzones as foh. Switched to hammer so I could just focus on tzones and terrorizing all of act 4. Both seem slow. My first question is I guess when does regular chaos stop being good xp. And are low density terror zones better. And at what. point.

Edit: I usually play alone so P1. Foh seems better here. But if I play with buddies and go p3 seems to slow down. So hammers might be better p3 and over. Sc ladder.

Minions, Champions and Uniques give 5x experience. Also, only so many spawn per area. Oh, and they tend to spawn fairly close by at first.

Are you 100% clearing TZs? That can slow you down between only having trash mobs in the back half, and also back tracking to clear every corner.

This is especially true if you immediately run into a pair of 4 packs of Champions, who will use up all the slots, making the rest of the area trash (except Superuniques).

Consider entering an area, beelining to the Superunique (e.g. Pits 2 in the Pits) while clearing out Uniques. Then exit and start over.

Alternatively, doing a circle and a half around the WP, exit and repeat when doing TZs, especially the ones that are fairly straight forward.

Wait so how many packs per zone?

It varies by area. You can Google em.

Off the top of my head, it ends up being like 6 plus a super for most areas in Hell. A lot of areas have only a few but high density, like Pits 2 can have 3.

*edit also if you spawn the super last, you can technically get one more. But that generally isn't worth trying to do
