Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Best New Level 85 Areas To Run & Farm In Ladder Season 1

Blizzard added quite a list of new level 85 areas here in Diablo 2 Resurrected, some of them though are much better than others, some of them we would never recommend someone actually farm, and some of them we are definitely going to be spending a lot of our time down there.  So, in this D2R guide, we sort out the Top 3 best new level 85 areas you should run in the Ladder Season 1 of Diablo 2 Resurrected!

What exactly is the level 85 area in Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.4 Patch?

Essentially it means is in these particular areas, you can find every single item in the entire game that's due to the level of monsters that are down in there if you didn't know certain Diablo 2 items for sale have to have a certain level of monster in order to drop a certain item level. 

Top 3 D2R 2.4 New Level 85 Areas To Run & Farm in Ladder Season 1

In this post, we are going to tell you the only areas that you need to actually worry about and farm and which ones you should absolutely steer clear of.

Best D2R New Level 85 Area: Top 1 - Stony Tombs

Stony Tombs is going to be very good to farm because it does not have any cold immunes or fire immunes, so if you're tired of running ancient tunnels or you're using any of those new great fire builds out there, this is going to be a place you're going to want to check out. So other things that are going for this particular area, it is pretty easy to find and it's just outside of the town in act 2 in the very first rocky waste area. It's obviously going to be easier if you're a sorceress you can teleport around faster to find it, but even if you're not you can kind of run around or use a teleport staff in order to speed up your finding this area now. Once you do find it and get down in there, you're going to be happy because it does have pretty good monster density, it does also have two different levels both of which are level 85. On top of them not being immune to cold or fire, they are incredibly slow monsters and weak, this is going to be a very popular farming spot here before Ladder season 1 of Diablo II Resurrected.

Best D2R New Level 85 Area: Top 2 - Arachnids Layer

Arachnids Layer is going to be primarily used for cold characters because in this area there are absolutely no cold immunes now there are already other areas that have no cold immunes that are magic found a lot, such as the ancient tunnels but even though the ancient tunnels is kind of easy to find, this is even easier. All you have to do in Act 3 is go to the spider forest waypoint and boom - the arachnids layer is right there! The map just feels a little bit more clunky than running the ancient tunnels. The monsters down in this particular area are pretty easy though they are not quite as easy as in the ancient tunnels, they aren't really anything that's going cause you a whole lot of danger. It's not like you're getting slapped down by souls blast with lightning or anything like that, so this is another one of the new level 85 areas that we think is going to be used a lot in Season 1 of Diablo II Resurrected.

Best D2R New Level 85 Area: Top 3 - Sewers

The third one on this list is one that we think is getting overlooked a lot and that is the Sewers under ACT 3. Now they've done a lot to bump up the fire characters here for the Ladder Season 1, this area is going to be for because there are absolutely no fire immunes here. It is also an incredibly easy area to find and under a couple of different waypoints, you just can just teleport around in those particular spots and find a way down to the Sewers. Now as you could guess since it's actually a couple of different waypoints this is an absolutely huge area, a lot of people might not realize but actually, you spend a ton of your time when you're magic finding. If you're going the same area over and over and over again, saving, exiting, waiting for it to load, getting back in selecting your character, and getting back down to that level. If you're running a very large area, you can actually save yourself 25 maybe even 50 percent of your time, that's where this area comes in, it is absolutely huge. There are some drawbacks to this area obviously there are these rivers or moats or little canals. Through the sewers down here and if you kill any of those batty-type people over the top of that area similar to ghosts in the arcane sanctuary, you're not going to get anything. On top of that, there is a little bit of danger down here, there are dolls that can blow up in your face and take you out in one shot if you catch the wrong one, so you should watch out for that. But if you're trying out one of those new fire builds like the hydro sorceress or the fire traps in and you want to do something a little bit different, this is one we would not sleep on.
