Duriel - farm him?

Just curious, why is it that duriel is always neglected when it comes to mfing? Does he drop any less than the other prime evils?

also to add, its an enclosed space and there are no other monsters to interfere with ur mfing (ie: blood lords when mfing meph)

tarantella: u dont necessarily have to just farm duriel. u can do meph/duriel in the same game

I imagine its the hassle of opening the game with a duri mule each time and the increased risk of getting temporary restrictions.

You wouldn't have to open the game with a duri mule... you can port through the arcane sanctuary, look at the symbols, and go to the tomb that's missing.

If you've done a fair bit of rushes without maphack it doesn't take much time at all to get to the right tomb... longer than meph, but short enough that if he dropped like meph it'd be worth it.

Here's why people don't do it:
0% MF, 1 player game, hell...
Shako - meph 1/1800, durry 1/3900, andy 1/4000
Stormshield - 1/2600, durry 1/29000, andy na
Viper - meph 1/1300, durry 1/3000, andy 1/3000
Skullders meph 1/3700, durry 1/8100, andy 1/8100
occy - meph 1/3200, durry 1/7100, andy 1/6900
wizzy - meph 1/1000, durry 1/2200, andy 1/2200
ring ov jodan - meph 1/17000, durry 1/14000, andy 1/14000

Or short version: durry drops almost the same as andy, which is much worse than meph, and is also more hassle to get to because of the symbol thing, regardless of solution. You know what I can do in the time it takes to kill durry? Another meph run.

I always farm duriel- and he dropped me a Lo rune for my efforts just two days ago

I think a major reason for not MFin him is his Charge!

Although, if you have the right character and clear the tunnels the whole run could end up worth it.....not sure but is it lvl 2 on that is 84 or is it the whole thing? Usually a ton of stuff in there to kill.

Hum, that might of been a good IK Barb run......should of tried it.
