Good farming runs

Hey. I was just curious if anyone had found some good farming or exp runs with exception of Typhon? I know I've run the bug under the library in Egypt, the centuar cheiftain, and the scorp in the Temple of Atum. Anyone else have some runs they'd like to mention?

Telkine Runs are always the best. The mystical Orbs they drop for treasure has the highest chance for the best items.

Otherwise any boss that has a majestic chest after you beat him is really just as good, the harder the boss though, the better the chance for good items, meaning you'll have a better chance of getting a set item you've had your eye on by going after the Lich creature that steals mana in Greece than you would if you kept fighting the cyclops over and over.

In the expansion good farming places are, near quest monsters. Net especially for blue or purple items, but very good for green items!

Well, you don't need the expansion for that. Green drops were improved from monsters in the 1.30 patch. But still, most every hero monster drops green's, which even if it isn't what you wanted, it's a lot of cash in your pocket at least.

A lot of people swear by the run from parnussus portal to the end of the pythian (gorgon) caves. I think the idea is there is a lot of monsters and chests to pop and your bound to get something. I haven't had much luck with farming. Usually I find items when I give up on farming and am just leveling or questing. Of course I do pick places with telkines or bosses etc but its a matter of finding somewhere interesting to play rather than thinking I'll get a drop.
