Inferno Act I Farming Guide

Guide submitted by coelomate.

Statistics: 1 run takes me ~30 minutes, including vendoring.

I use a Wizard with Teleport - Wormhole to move quickly.

Item Pick-up philosophy: Too many trips to town can kill run speed. I pick up all rare ilvl 61+ items, and of course any legendaries that drop. I also always pick up gems. (As well as demonic essences, but thats a given)

Guide:

• Optional Step 0) Start a game using "The Imprisoned Angel - The Cursed Hold" quest per a normal butcher run. Once the game starts, WP to the northern highlands and run west. If the watch tower didn't spawn (25-50% spawn rate dungeon with 1-6 elite mobs, 0-1 resplendant chests, and 0-1 treasure goblins) re-make the game. If it did spawn, we'll come back with 5 stacks (since treasure goblins respond to stacks).

Edit: Here's a pic of what to look for. It's often a bit further from the WP, but always on that western edge:http://i.imgur.com/dNOng.jpg

• Step 1) Go to the festering woods. There are 2 guaranteed small dungeons with a champion pack in each. You should find at least 1 champion in the area. Town portal out and way point back inbetween.
• Step 2) With 2-3 (probably 3) stacks, go to the cemetery  There are 3 small dungeons each with 1-2 champions. Since they might only have one, leave (town portal -> waypoint) as soon as you kill the first). This gets you to 5 stacks. Clear all the tombs even if you get 5 early.
• Step 3) WP to leoric's manner. Run back through the manner (0-1 packs) and outside. The courtyard has a guaranteed pack.
• Step 6) Optional WP back to the northern highlands and clear the watch tower.
• Step 7) Optional key farming - If you are playing with Monster Power, go to the Fields of Misery and kill the Keywarden there.
• Step 8) Optional - go to each other WP and check for very close / obvious champion packs. A lot of areas got density.

A note on large areas: Patch 1.0.8 update: Monster density has been increased, so most areas are worth searching these days, large areas, small areas, caves, all contain a lot more mobs than before, and in the future blizzard has said they will also be buffing any remaining areas that do not have good mob density.
