INTRODUCTION Welcome to flexiboys guide to the quickest way of leveling, Baal runs! This guide is not hugely in-depth but it covers the basics of baal running. Anyway enjoy 2. WHAT IS A BAAL RUN? A baal run is where you and your party (8 is recomended) get to the throne of destruction and fight the waves of baal minions, strating easy and getting harder. to get to the throne i would recomend having a sorc with maphack teleporting to the throne and giving a tp for your party. when you get to fight baals minions the exp you gain is unreal, you'll proberly level twice in the first run After the waves baal runs away into the worldstone keep. If you want to you can folow him to fight him and complete that dificulty. This is not recomended because he is quite hard for low levels. here are his stats: Level Norm Night Hell 60 75 99 as you can see in hell he is level 99. Thjis can be quite a chalange fir a character not fully max to his (or her) full potential. Although baal is hard his exp is high. (Taken from the arreat summit) 3. WHEN SHOULD I DO A BAAL RUN Whenever you can! If you are a low level and have been boosted to hell or nightmare then there is a problem.In norm you need to be at least level 25 to do baal runz, 40 in nm and 70 in hell. other than that you can simply get a party of high level characters to help you. Just stay within two screens of the party to get exp or get involved. 4. WHAT CHARACTERS ARE BEST FOR BAAL RUNS? Hammerdins. simple as that. they kick ***. Equipt with an enigma they just tele into a group of monsters and kill. This is another reason why hammerdins are the best rushers. 5. OTHER RUNS Other types of runs can be fun but have litte exp. some other runs are: tristrun - runing through tristram killing all the mininon (needed for act 1 q 3) tomb run - running tal rashas tomb diablorun - running through diablos chaos sancuary opening all the portals and then killing diablo. baalrun - Do i need to explain this?! sewerrun - you run through the sewers of lut gohim and kill all the skeletons. 6. STRATGY the best stratgy for a baalrun is to not kill. this may sound stupid but it works. You need a big party to help you but it is efective. Basicly what you do is train a defence/attack skill (one that does damage but protects you i.e hurricane) to level 20. Then you can stand in the corner (but must be two screens near your party) and gain exp for doing nothing. You will level quickly. When you get litte exp from that mode's baal run get some one too boost you or do it yourself and get to the next difficulty and train there. i personally do not recomed this because u get less exp (from not killing) and other players call u "noob leacher" and generally get pissed off. 7. THE TWO SCREEN EXP RULE The Two screen rule is somthing quite smart. Basicly it is that you have to be two screens away from your party to recive exp from that party kill. This stops Noobs (******s) from joining a baal run when they are still in act 1. 8. CLASS RATINGS Amazon - Amazons have many diffrent clases (bowazon,javazon etc) so here i will judge an all round amazon (skills in all class sections) They can hit quickly and powerfully and they get quite alot of health easly. 10/10 Assasin- Trapsasins are the only types of assasins i have seen useing baal runs so i'll judge these. They have a high power electric trap that if set all around the drop zone (where baals minions land) can cause high damage if not kill all the minions. 9/10 Barbarian - Barbs are reasonably good if you are a high level as you can hit extreamly high. combined with a high level B.O and wirlwind you will be a extreamly usefull member to the team 8/10 Nercomancer - necros are quite good. they have a wall to stop monsters attacking and if you max out skele's with full trang-oul (necro set) you will pawn all 7/10 Paladin - paladins are really good especially hammerdins. they can get attack rating into the 9000's and hit high if made correctly. 10/10 sorceress - sorceresses are reaaly good in baal runs. they have good spells that can be used from long distances without taking damage from monsters such as blizzard or meteor (note: there was a meteor bug but that has been fixed if someone tells you not to cast meteor just ignore them.) 10/10 Druids - Lastly druids. These have a varity of spells from wearwolves to elementalists so i will review the mixed elemental druid. They have good flame and cold spells which hit reasonably high with good defence spells to back them up. 6/10 As you can see pretty much every char is good for baal runs in a team so dont underestimate any char, its all down to you 9. quick exp. There is a quick easy way to get exp. if you dont want to enjoy the game (or are just fed up with doing act 1). here goe's: Level 1-15 trist runs (quick exp) Level 15-20 tomb runs (easy u can get to 20 in 1 game if u do all the tombs) 20-25 cow runs (get a high level friend to help you cows are hard at your level) 25 ancients ( again get a friend to help.) (Note: you auto level from Ancients) 26-45 Norm baal runs 45-75 Nightmare baal runs (rush again) 75-99 Hell baal runs so there you have it a quick guide to leveling B.T.W: This is NOT as fast as tools way of leveling in chaos sanctuary My baal running guide - Rallert - 04-13-2005 Pretty good guide, but doesn't all ppl know how to make Baalruns?:confused: I thought...:blank::p My baal running guide - jedimaster86 - 04-13-2005 nice guide. just a couple of things i saw: -add tomb runs to the list of "other runs". -add sections 10-12 of the guide. -under the "strategy part", you probably should at least try to kill some monsters so you don't look inconsiderate towards others. i've seen people do nothing and get yelled at, so i guess really it's just a matter of how kind those doing the killing are. My baal running guide - flexiboy - 04-13-2005 thanks 4 replys i removed section 11 and 12 for the forum so i'll edit it now. also every 1 shuld no how 2 baal run but this is aimed at new players My baal running guide - ClanCk - 04-24-2005 Decent Guide....But the thing I don't get is why you gave druids a 10/10...I think they more like 6/10..zons are better then druids IMO. My baal running guide - ken2520 - 04-24-2005 um not to flame but incase u didnt notice... ladder lightnign sorcs with infinity merc is the fastest rusher so fast.. i have a lv 83 lightning sorc with lv 65 infinity merc.. killed hell diablo in 3 secounds of appearance.. so ya.. well this is for u ladder ppl only.. ither then that hammerdins r fastest on nl My baal running guide - Doom - 04-26-2005 Nice guide i got nutin bad to say about it My baal running guide - Kings-path - 10-05-2008 Good job mate but im sure peeps that have been playing for a long time and are ready to baal run , are pretty 1337 , But sweet guide though , im going to show my friend your post. Im sure it will help him. Cheers. ANYONE MSG ME IF THEY HAVE A ETITANS FT ON NL US EAST! My baal running guide - Ares - 10-06-2008 Many spelling and grammar errors, fix that up. Your "facts" are pretty biased, Hammerdins are not the best baal runners. You obviously haven't seen DiGi's light sorc, and DB's. Hammerdins are better then decent. Also in my opinion Wind Druids are awesome for baal runs. also when I used to do Baal runs in Normal and Nightmare, before I decided to do G-Rush and chaos to 65, I left normal at level 40 or so and left nightmare at 65. This guide is pretty much made for leechers, as you've said standing in the corner is the best strategy. Fix the spelling errors and such and it will be a great...tool.
