Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Fast Leveling, Gold Farming Exploit Guide: The Ultimate Run

The ultimate guide on how to fast level and gold farm in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls without killing anything.

The James run was nerfed, but all other runs work.

[thomasbiedermann]

Thanks for sharing Rhykker! 
Did a few stats just then with lvl 70 DH geared for speed (vault/tumble, preparation/invigoration, smoke screen/displacement w/ tactical advantage and as many speed upgrades as I can muster). Do all the repairs/map checking during miner and jar lulls (I find it's easier to get to the jar after teleporting back from town). 

Over 2 hours, on average per hour:
-70 games started
-22 bounties completed (4 Matriarch, 6 Jars, 9 Miners, 3 Miser)
=> 1 bounty every 3.2 games
- 337 mil XP
- 1.5 legendary/set 
- didn't count gold but I'd say it's about 5-6 mil per hour after repairs

Note: I didn't go back to the miner to open the chest, and dropped 2 legendaries/set out of 3 via random destructible, corpse, chest on the way. 

Note on XP:
Matriarch gives me 17 255 000 (best value / time) 
Jar 14 790 000 (worst)
Miner and Miser 16 269 (2nd worst and 2nd best, respectively, unless VERY unlucky on spawning point for Miser) 

Hope this helps! :)

By the way, great videos you've been creating and uploading. I appreciate it. :]

This is very good stuff.Subbed as you do great work. Though as an addition to this ultimate guide to make it a bit faster. When you check available bounty quest what you need to do is only pop up the big Sanctuary map and hoover mouse pointer over exclamation mark over interested Act. It'll show you a list of spawned bounty quest without need to enter the Act map and check it there.

I just spent 40 minutes running these (about 35 runs) and here are my impressions.  All of them have been nerfed in some way, the biggest being their spawn rate.

Jar of Souls - 1 Spawn - Still works
Matriarch's Bones - 1 Spawn - Still works
Miner's Gold - 2 Spawns - Nerfed - You must stay and fight and survive to complete
Miser's Will - 0 Spawns (Didn't frequently spawn for me before 2.0.5 patch)

So, only about 44Mil XP/hr on this round, verses the about 150-200+Mil/hr pre 2.0.5.  Need more samples to get a better idea of how usable these are now.

nice work man, keep up with stuff like this, liked, subscribed.
a question: what exactly got nerfed at james quest? lower xp? lower spawn than ca. 20%? just cuz of interest^^

btw: your voice is killer :D

TLDR Version: Patch 2.0.5  -> Miner's Gold Event has changed to require you to be near the NPC to complete.

I have been doing this run along with the other "Ultimate Run" bounties to level my classes prior to 2.0.5, however, it seems that Miner's Gold has finally been "nerfed". Not in the sense of less exp or gold, but you can't seem to just accept the quest and port to town and wait for the completion. Instead of waiting in town for about 50-60 seconds till completion, it now requires you to spend that amount of time near the NPC. I have waited 10 minutes in town on several Miner's Gold bounties just waiting to see if it was a longer time to complete instead, but no luck. You now have to spend time around the NPC in order to complete the event.

Thanks for this tutorial. You have saved me a considerable amount of time.
Keep up the good work.

Still appears to be functioning, in 15 runs I got the Miner's Gold 3 times (have yet to see a Miser spawn).  Also, to save a tiny touch of time, on the overworld map you can simply hover over the '!' to see the 5 bounties for that act.  Great vids, thanks for them!

[alk]

Thanks! Still works - got from 65 - 70 in about 20 minutes.

[bansheemonger]

Works as you said, thanks Rhykker! Leveled from 49 to 70 in about 2:30h yesterday :)

Mysers Guild is just stupidly easy. Just a matter of time until this is nerfed. 

[yukinagato]

The Crazy Climber event exploit was fixed in patch 2.0.4. It is now required for us to kill the monsters spawned during the event/quest for it to be completed.

[MadelineMysterious]

I don't know why they nerf anything when some people literaly hack the client and they keep playing and putting up videos. No i'm not saying Rhykker, but 3 popular diablo youtubers definitely do. Rhykker's stuff is good they shouldn't nerf anything. Blizzard needs to relax and let people just have fun.

[DBohorquez]

Great video. Very helpful. You should list the bounties in the description for fast reference

[mackofgaming]

I did this to see how much I would get towards Paragon leveling (thus meaning I am a level 70 Barbarian and currently Paragon 22 at the start of this).  End results at the very bottom...

*(Private James) AKA Crazy Climber*= no longer works (as stated in video and other posts, tried it myself, quest is there, but requires you to kill creatures within the tower now, before handing over the item?)

*Miner's Gold*= (shows up the most and is the easiest to do) 16, 269, 000 Paragon XP & 110, 330G - Mostly Random Useless Items & 1 Death per run (due to me wanting to teleport back for my loot).

*The Jar of Souls*= requires you to kill 50 creatures in the Defiled Crept so That one was a no go for bounty completion, but I was able to click on the jar and get some rewards, 3 random items and a chunk of gold, not sure how much, but resulted in another death just to click the jar (Elites sometimes seem to spawn directly on the jar as well, and I had to attempt to get them to move away).

*Matriarch's Bones*= ALOT of trash to try and avoid, I was hit multiple times, and depending on luck, you wont pass elites, But each time I had to pass threw 2 elites with range attacks, Was able to loot my stuff most of the time, due to the majority of mobs are slow or ranged, so I can click on the loot.

*Misor's Will (Spelling?)*= Never came up for me at all, not sure if its been taken out or if it doesn't come up on Torment VI. So no results, sorry.

75 games created (not all games had the bounties):
Level 70 Barbarian has earned about a 2million gold increase (after the cost of constant repairs), Paragon Level is now 27 (5 level ups). Best result, I got my Odin's Son drop, for my thunder barb!

*this all took about an hour and a half in which time, I did have a phone call, and used the restroom without stopping the timer*

[tehchocobo]

I started doing this at level 16, definitely doable but challenging! I'm a Demon Hunter so I can get along with Vault but not sure how other classes would do it.

Thanks for sharing

Dont know if this has been hotfixed but, i have been doing this for the last hour and i haven't seen a single misers will (56 times), Previously before the bad "streak" i had it around 1/5 of the time. In the 56 times i have had Mat bones 8 times, jar of souls 11 times and miners gold 4 times. Kind of sucks if it has been hotfixed but wouldn't surprise me. Anyway hope im wrong and just SUPER unlucky, but hopefuly my misfortune has helped someone :P Thanks again for the vids Rhykker, you have some quality content (not only that is D3) :D

[LOLKumoko]

Hey man, I was curious about something. In your videos you have a little symbol of what an item is particularly and it's rarity. What is that and where to obtain? Looks really useful for farming gear.

[MonkGaming]

Hey man, great vid. I used this for a bit, and then about 30 minutes ago I found this little video: Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls Power Level 1 - 70 Exploit

10 million xp and 75k gold at 60, takes about 3 min per run. Lemme know what you think.

[Nogarda_]

It's such a shame that you upload this awesome vid, only for about 1/2 of it to become instantly obsolete with 2.0.4. However I'm loving these RoS videos. I'd be interested to see what builds you can come up with for the other classes also if you so choose to do any. :)

A list of the places in the description ( [ACT]-[WAYPOINT]-[MISSION] ) would be helpful
