Need some advice for my javazon

First of all greetings to all and thank you in advance for the help.So im javazon SINGLEPLAYER, UNTWINKED, HARDCORE,NO RWM, NO TRADE, my goals are enigma and griffon's eye. I'm level 89 guardian with following items: shako(ptopaz), titans, rhyme, 4ptopaz armor, 2xmf rings, mf amulet, 2java 20ias lr27 14mf, rare boots with mf and res, goldwrap, gheed.So i'm running eldrich/pindel but what will be most fastest and efficient way to farm enigma?
EDIT: With my previous javazon I found a Jah in Den of evil.I farm there at p8 for level every time when i go to hell that's my first big stop. I found 4xum and 5xpul too, but i think that's a luck and it's not efficient way to farm runes, am i right?May be cows are my best bet for the jah/ber?

Don't run eldrich, his monster level is too low, you'll be better off spending those extra 10 seconds on pindle. WSK can be fun even if you lack infinity/griffons, sometimes it spawns doom knights/flayers/ghosts and you'll get 200-300 kills in a minute. The pit in act I is also viable.

Just found a Gul rune from eldrich, I checked drop chances for runes on eldrich/shenk/pindel and they are not bad compared to normal monsters.

If you want Enigma, I would suggest just running either lower kurast, or trav if it's safe enough. As for Griffon's, that'll have to come from pindle or Alvl85 areas (pit/AT/CS/WSK/etc)

I'm playing the game since 2002 or 2003 which involved a lot of MF and I haven't ever found a single Griffon's (although it's among the last 3-5 uniques I've never found so far), so prepare for an investment of a LOT of time until you've found a particular TC87 unique.

I think it took me 8 years to find a Ber and it needed 9 for Jah. OTOH, you could as well say that it took one year inbetween
. Good luck!

If you are immune to boredom, do cows again and again or open big chests in Lower Kurast, with a nice map, although that won't give you many XP. Alternatively, visit L85 areas with as few lightning-immunes as possible.

Enigma will be tough to farm with a Javazon using the typical methods like LK or Travincal. I would suggest doing Pit runs and Pindle. You could try LK, but it won't be very efficient with that build.

I recently ran Pindle an evening, specifically to find Griffons and it dropped within 2 hours - extemely lucky! I have also played since 2000 or so and have found 4 griffons but never found a single soj, not on bnet or in single player. Random is random :)

Yes, it's bad luck by me, that's what I meant with "although it's among ...". Griffon's is actually one of the not that rare TC87 uniques, as it's not class-specific. It's about as hard to find as e.g. a CoA and I found 4 of those IIRC.

I'm at grail-6 because I deeded the only griffon's I've found... You may or may not be lucky enough to find it at pindle/AT/pits but you also might be lucky :D

I have never found CoA or even Griswold's Valor either. Funny how certain uniques seem to favor you and others don't, even though they are statistically even in rarity :)

Bottom line is that if you search for at specific item you will most likely be in for a long haul (especially if it's TC87)
