I was doing a self tweek through act 2 in normal. I am sure you all know the trick. You create a game with the character you want past act 2. Then wait five minutes so the game âsticksâ and switch to a more powerful character. Go kill Duriel. Switch back to your first character. Go back down and talk with Tyrael and you get the quest.
What I notices when I did this was that Duriel dropped nothing but rares (Plus the default town portal scroll.) Now I know that the magic find for the âfirst dropâ when you kill a boss is bumped up a lot. This has got me wondering if Duriel runes might actually be a new trend.
Have a character in act 2 that you want to lvl up. Go do an arcane run. By the time you are done the game will be sticky. Switch to a more powerful character and do kill Duriel. Now because the first character will not have completed the quest you can do this over and over and over as many times as you want to.
From the small about of testing I have done so far, it looks like Duriel is the only boss this works on. Naturaly this all depends on exactly how much higher the first drop of a boss is and how quickly you can kill.
