[D3] Leoric Crown 1-70: How to / Is it worth it?

Description of how to get Leoric Crown at an early level / early in the season and discussing if it's worth it or not.

After killing Mira you should end the game before turning in that quest and set the difficulty to T6 and resume the game and turn in the quest, you'll get a nice chunk of XP.

Being an average player it's amazing how fast you did level 70. In our group most of us seem to get the crown (with luck) so we don't do that grind to get the crown.

I've had some success by turning the difficulty to master and then finding a game in adventure mode with a bounty for killing the SK, that way you have a chance to drop it and you are still on track to gear up early with the bounty chest. Plus the SK is an easy boss to get to so it's quick with some good early density and even faster with a full party.

Leorics crown has bed. My first find 3 seasons in a row... usually around lvl 15

[esburn]

I wait till around lvl 38, when i have lots of movement speed bonuses, and often it has dropped randomly during that time, if it hasn't I like to do the run and get it so its item lvl is 40+ making it wearable until 70 with much less detriment... if you get it at lvl 16 youll suffer in dmg as you level and it wont add much benefit. Plus I like to get it at the same time as making my lvl 70 reduced level requirement weapon, and I can then kick it up to torment and bang out 40-60 super fast. I also use cains. I also have been doing it solo, my best test run so far I've hit lvl 68 in just over 3 hrs.

I got the challenge reward for non seasonal after your previous video to test it out. Will i be able to do it again once the season starts or I fucked up bad ?

[erichelder]

So you spend half an hour where you only get 7 levels, only so your tiny 10% exp boost becomes a 17-20% boost (30% with higher gem) ? Seems not worth at all even for slower groups

[Percadan]

I know i got it before level 15 in season 11, and when leveling with my wife and mother in season 12, we all got it to drop before level 10 in season 12

[graylewis]

This is really inefficient the tho. Why not wait until after you do the bounties to get cain set (because you have to do the bounties anyways) then go on adventure mode? By that point you are high enough level to have movement skills and you can do it on adventure when a high chance of it dropping

[christinaturner]

Can you extract the gem socketed into crown increases to 90% effect on another helm? I would love the 90% cooldown on my immortal king's helm for wrath of the berserker. I keep it up mostly every few seconds anyway unless i have to travel a good distance for the next monster pack which is annoying. XD

[jamesbaysinger]

Is this item a guaranteed drop from sk now? I just started the game and it dropped first time I killed the king

[CougarMangun]

You could gamble it at level 1 since most classes have 1-2 legendary helmets at that low level to gamble. Only problem is it seems to be lvl 16. Would that be too late to be worth it?

[OMFGcataFAN]

this seems pretty pointless. while test lvling 7/8 chars got it as a drop between 12-17. seems to be pretty much a guaranteed drop without the need for all this.

[burns]

Isn’t it better to get vault first then do this? As those first few levels are quick enough through just grinding.

[mdouet]

Where do I unlock that movement speed buff?

[enaphets]

Do we need to be in campaign mode? or can we get the crown just by killing skeleton king in adventure mode?
