Diablo 3 easy gold and item farming routes.

Hello everyone, I'm going to start periodically posting useful farming routes and the most efficient way to farm them.  The first two I will share today are fairly well known but I'm going to add them so I can start compiling a list of all the best farming routes in one place.  These first two are in act 1 and can be farmed easily by most players on inferno.

  The first one is at the beginning of act 1 and better used to farm gold than items although you can on occasion get useful items.  With enough magic find you could use this spot for items as I have gotten hellion crossbows as well as ilvl 63 armors along with quite a few legendary and set items.  Nothing was very good quality but with the changes in Patch 1.0.4 so that higher quality can drop from act 1 it could be a viable item farming location.  Anyway here are the steps for continuous farming.

========================================================================

First farming route act 1.

========================================================================

Start by selecting The legacy of Cain: Explore Cellar quest in act 1.

Take the Old Ruins waypoint (will be the only one you have besides tristram).  From their run northwest along the path where you will eventually see a dead tristram guard and get a checkpoint.

Continue heading northwest going past a few minor enemies until you come to the dank cellar.  Sometimes it is not open and if so just teleport to town and leave game, then restart the game and you will be right at that checkpoint where the dead tristram guard is.  If it is open however it will look like this.  Enter the dank cellar.

Once inside run into the room to kill the "Rare" enemy Sarkoth.

As you can see once he is dead he and his 3 friends drop quite a bit of gold.  Here is 5,747 gold for only a about 30 seconds worth of work.

From here you can teleport to town and leave game.  Once you hit resume game you will be back at that checkpoint and can do this run over and over again.  Each run takes about 30-45 seconds and can easily net you 400k an hour if you have the gold find.  Now obviously this is can become a very boring farming route and we do provide a bot to do this for you  The bot can be found at the top of the page where there is a Get Bots Here tab, or you can just go to Diablo afk bots.

========================================================================

Second farming route in act 1.

========================================================================

Start by selecting the quest The Broken Blade: Talk To Alaric on act 1.

Go to the way point and select the Drowned Temple waypoint.  It will be the one the quest is telling you to go to .

From there follow the quest objectives and go talk to Alaric, then follow the objective again and head northeast into the Festering Woods.  Once you are in the Festering Woods look for a place called Warriors Rest.  It is usually located around the northern part of the Festering Woods but sometimes moves around a bit.  When you find it this is what it will look like.

Immediately once you are inside you will get a checkpoint here.

Head east just a little ways and you will come to this spot shown here.  For ranged I would suggest standing here and unleashing everything to kill the enemies further to the right.  Obviously for melee you will have to continue on and fight.  There will always be an elite over here but the possible affixes will vary.

This elite usually drops at least one rare item and a few magic ones.  This is also with my characters 20% magic find so I can only assume with more magic find you can find even more rares here.  From my testing of this spot I have noticed more ilvl 63's drop here than from the first spot I mentioned today.

Once you have gathered your loot do NOT touch this blue globe here.  Instead just leave the game and restart so you will be back at the checkpoint and immediately fight the elite all over again.

As you can see it will take a few minutes to get here for the first time but once you have that checkpoint you can farm this elite about once every 30-45 seconds possibly shorter or longer depending on how much damage you do.  This place has the possibility to net some decent rares especially if you are trying to find gear to progress into act 2 inferno.  

========================================================================

Thanks for reading and like I said I know these spots are already well known but I'm going to compile as many farming routes as I can in one location and keep them updated in case one gets nerfed.  I will continue to update with more farming routes hopefully once a day or at the very least once every other day until I have a complete list on here.  If anyone has any routes they would like to share please feel free to leave them in the comments and I will test them out then add them to the list giving credit to the commentor.
