Best Places To Farm Shako In Diablo 2 Resurrected

Best Diablo 2 Shako drop location is targeted the main bosses in Hell difficulty. Andariel, Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal. They're going to be longer farms. They're going to take more effort and gear, particularly if you're going to be farming solo. Since the Harlequin Crest is the name of the unique D2R item and the Shako is the base type. If you're looking for a rare item, you want to be looking for its base type. The highest chance monster of dropping that base type item and then whether or not it unique or not or rare or magic is random chance.

1. Best D2R Shako Farming - Cow King

Cow king is actually one of the highest drop chances for the Shako base type item in Diablo 2 Resurrected now. It used to be that if you killed the cow king in Diablo 2 you could never open a portal to the cow king level again and apparently it's going to be fixed with Diablo Resurrected. Therefore you will be able to happily kill a cow king as much as you want. The cow king in hell mode has about a 1 in 95 chance to drop the Shako base type item that is in hell difficulty or about a 1 in 300 chance of dropping that in nightmare difficulty. Whilst on route to the cow king, you are going to run into Rakanishu who has a pretty good chance of dropping the Shako base type about 1 in 250 and. Griswold also has about a 1 in 150 chance of dropping the Shako base type. Basically in your run to the cow king you've got a couple of super unique bosses that have a really good chance of dropping the Shako.

2. Best D2R Shako Farming - Baal

The best way to farm harlequin quest Shako in Diablo 2 Resurrected is in nightmare difficulty. You're going to be looking for Baal. If your character is badass enough that farming Baal in hell difficulty is not a problem then you can go ahead and farm in hell difficulty. When you actually kill Baal, his drop chance for the Harlem Quest Shako is about the same in nightmare and hell difficulty. The main difference is that in hell difficulty all of Baal's minions actually have a reasonably good chance of dropping the Shako as well. About comparable to any higher end of chance just like Rakanishu and Griswold have some of the highest chances. Baal himself has about 1 in 152 chance to drop a Shako and 1 in 2000 chance to drop the Harlequin Quest Crest unique. If you have magic find and gear that can improve up to about 300% better.

3. D2R Shako Farming - Mephisto

Mephisto is the quickest and easiest way to get Harlequin Crest Shako in Diablo 2. We're going to Durance of Hate - Level 2. The trick here in Durance of Hate - Level 2, is that you want to turn left from the exit of the tile that you ported in on here. Keep turning left hoping to find that doorway up to Durance of Hate - Level 3. Once you find Durance of Hate, Level 3, you also need to kill the council. The council has great opportunities to drop runes or other good items. You've done the effort of either teleporting or running here, so take advantage of it. Find Mephisto then kill him.

Both Mephisto and Andariel are great ways to find D2R Shako Updated. Mephisto has a higher treasure class, so can drop better items. On the flip side,  Andariel is known for dropping unique rings and amulets which is a solid jewelry option. If you don't want to be farming a boss, a great opportunity is to go out there and slaughter all the cows at the cow level.  You're going to be killing a ton of mobs, a ton of monsters, it's going to increase your chances for Diablo 2 rune drops and other good items. Overall, the cow level was just a great farming opportunity.
