*TheMindsunder" Farming the Terror Weapon...

[skline81]

So I've ran The Mindsunder quest 36 times and have yet to loot the Terror weapon...I know its randome and rare, just wondering if anyone else has had trouble looting this or if theres a bug out for this quest...

It should be offered in rewards list every third completion.

You forgot to add in that they also nerfed it with U14. May as well farm something else now. :)

you've had enough discs to open the end chest that many times? The named items only come from the chest that appears when you use the 4 discs. not from the one from actually completing the quest.

and yea, every 3rd completion of the quest you get a small list of the named items along with the rest of the loot. Terror is actually probably one of the most common ones that seems to pop up, atleast for my characters.

No...I havent had disks that many times...I have had the disks with a group several times tho...I thought the terror could still be looted in the end reward...not just the chest with disks

Ive heard someone mention it was nerfed...but how exactly did that effect looting the terror?

They didn't reduce the loot chance they simply nerfed the effectiveness of all nightmare weapons such as Terror.

Consequently, Terror is far worse than it used to be and you may well be better off with a +5 Holy XXXXX of Pure Good/Righteousness, and certainly post-20 the random loot-gen there is much better than Terror.

when I ran it last night...on my 3rd completion...I wasnt even offered a named item..I was offered junk and all the disks..I have so far looted the "light darkness" and the"titans gloves"....I wonder how long this could possibly take...

Oh ok...gotcha!

Only the will to loot it.

To help clarify the terror only drops in the chest that requires the discs. No one ever farms it like that anymore though. Every third completion of Mindsunder will randomly offer you different named items from that chest.

What you want to do is get to your third completion running casual and then abandon it each time you don't get what you want, then run it again. As long as you abandon without taking a reward (just close the reward window and then abandon) you will continue to get random third completion rewards every time you complete it. You'll get your terror within a few runs.

It has a chance to be offered via 3rd completions, not guaranteed.

After the nerf, the one thing I can still say in Terror's defense is that it's a good weapon against the boss in the Dreaming Dark quest. And since there are a number of worthwhile items to farm in that quest, it's not bad to have Terror in your inventory if you're a melee-type.

But it is a one-trick pony now. (Cue MLP references.)

This post needs an addendum.

*: If you've got 20 paladin levels, Purify Weapon, or a friendly artificer.

Oh yeah. Sorry about that, I'm used to fighting the dude with my capstoned pally. Thanks for the clarification.

Terror can still be marginally better than the random lootgen nightmare items. People tend to forget that terror also procs mind thrust damage on each hit, which I beleive is 5-40 damage. So Terror is still not a bad weapon, just not near as good as before.

[Miztof]

And it's still an awesome rusty/ooze beater :).

[skline81]

Yeah, I finally looted the Terror running Mindsunder on hard and getting the "disk chest"....

[axel15810]

I tried to loot it on my Kensei last year. i gave up after 20+ completions. Did get the Titan's gloves though.

[Ungood]

Odd.

I went on a "Need to get Titans Gloves" for my fighter, and ended up getting Terror's for everyone in the group, a few times over, before I got my gloves.

So anyway, Yah. Terror, the best name in Rust Monster killers, short of a pointy stick.

It used to get left in the 4-disc chest as no one wanted it.

Then the saves were buffed and everyone wanted it.

Then they made it so that anyone could get it on third completion lists, bypassing all the grinding for discs.

Once everyone had it, it was nerfed fairly hard.

And the circle is completed- it's back to being left in the chest or vendor trashed, for the most part.
