4os or 0os monarch

Any advice on where I can find this? I have all the runes ready but it is driving me nuts trying to find a monarch I can put them into... I'm a blizz sorc and I've been running hell cows and ancient tunnels like mad with low MF so I get the most white drops and I havnt found one yet.... the only monarch I've seen dropped with 1os :(

Any advice? On ladder (east) so I havnt had much luck finding them for trade either

My advice is to do a couple of more AT/cow runs.:smug:


...or you could just buy one with couple of pgems.

You could look in the mausoleum or tower cellar for the weird armor rack thingies, they usually drop white/grey goods, and I suspect in hell those two places certainly can drop any and all high-end armors/shields. Wouldn't be a bad idea to check the weapon racks either, you might just get a perfect socketed phase blade or whatever :thumbsup:

Yeah I'll just have to keep looking. I'd be happy to trade a few pgems for one, but I can't ever seem to find anybody who has one.

I do try to check weapon racks, but no luck yet. Just takes time I guess.

Post in the trading forums. They are typically going for around 15 pgems now/ rune equivalent and if you offer to overpay, I'm sure someone will contact you :).

Anywhere in Hell past the Inner Cloister in Act 1. Any side dungeon/cave in Act 1. So basically, most of Hell can produce white monarchs. It just chooses not to most of the time. :)

I feel your pain though. It took me a heck of a long time to find one, finally coming from the armor rack to the left of Meph. Haven't seen another one since either.

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

I finally got tired of it and just posted on the trading forums, got it for some pgems. Thanks for all of the advice though.

Upgrading to it sfrom my rhyme shield has made teleing to durance 3 so much easier! Now I just need to find a gull dagger to switch to along with the rhyme

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

I ran into a 4os Monarch in the throne of destruction while doing some hell baalruns with my necro. Unfortunately since I only recently returned to D2 I didn't know about the spirit runeword and, more importantly, the minimum strength requirement. So I'm stuck at 120 strength at lvl 85 meaning either alot more baalruns to get statpoints or finding a good rare amu / belt with nice str bonuses.

How do sorcs get the needed 150ish strength to use monarchs? Lots of SCs with str?

Well I'm assuming most will have at least a base str of 110-120 if they intend to use a monarch. Annihilus and hellfire torch charms give you +20-40 str together and Enigma adds .75 str / lvl, but those aren't all that easy to obtain. I'll probably go for a decent magic / rare ammy with +str and hopefully some +skills / res mods and a thundergods or rare belt with a decent +str mod until I obtain the aforementioned items.

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

You just allocate the stats... you get +22 vit and a boatload of Mana with Spirit so it's kind of a wash. Going for max block with Spirit is futile so whatever doesn't go into STR can go to VIT, and that's still a lot.

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

I personally went for pumping in stat pts into strength... Currently have 139 base strength, and i use mara's (+5), shako (+2) and war travs (+10) to give me the additional 17. Works perfectly fine for me, and I still have a respectable amt of life (>1000).

No point going with max block if using a spirit shield. 40% CTC is just not going to make it. =)

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

Kind of pointless now that you have the shield, but maybe someone else can use the info: best place imo. is Lower Kurast. The place is small, quick to reach and filled with easy monsters & armor racks.

I did about 50 runs and got me 2 monarchs, several charms, over a dozen flawless gems and 2 mid runes. Sweet

Besides, you have a tiny chance to get a ber from one of those special chests ... You never know.

Re: 4os or 0os monarch

i picked up 1 0 soc monarch and 1 4soc monarch yesterday in one countess/pit run. I've sold a few to Charsi as well. Had a pair disappear while i was muling too... anyway, countess works best imo. those racks are awesome.

They are actually quite common. I seem to get a white Monarchs often enough that I don't even consider selling them to guildmates anymore - they can just have it for free. I've had them drop in hell cows fairly often (every 2 to 4 solo runs) as well as throne of destruction.

The same applies for Colossus Voulges and Phase Blades which after developing a hell viable sorc have started to become really quite common. :z

You know what bothers me? I've seen 3 or 4 of the damn things, that I left to rot on the floor because I thought they were worthless without sockets....
