Guide Thread. Farming Inferno

Alright, so I've noticed in another thread, a lot of people are asking where they should farm and well I thought about it, and decided, why not just make a mega-thread with detailed summaries or videos on where and how to farm on Inferno, so the rest of the TL community can find a simple place to help, discuss and theorycraft with each other.

So to begin with, I made a pretty long video, with a short summary of how to get the gear to farm and for how much.

If this thread gets enough attention, and people start posting their summaries, I'll compile all of them into a list, for easy access and reading, so you won't have to read through dozens of pages. With that being said, on to my guide!

Although I am showing this from a Barbarian PoV, any class can do this easily.
Demon Hunter PoV If this thread should be posted in the Barbarian thread, than feel free to close this thread and i'll repost it there
"Disclaimer"
I'm not posting this video to say this is the best way to farm gear on Act 1, however
I think showing others how simple this is, and how easy gear is to obtain now, warrants a look.
Besides, you never know who might find this helpful, not to mention if you know a better way and want to show, feel free to post your method in this thread

That being said, disregard the video and simply read the text, if you can easymode your way through Act 1, but are just looking for a nice and easy way to do it.

This farming method is built mainly for fresh or veteran inferno Barbarians(minus skills, runes etc.) however any class can do this.

The video has not been sped up and it is all unedited footage.
The video is 2 and a half hours long, so I would just recommend skipping around to get the jist of it.
I simply made the video this long, due to the fact it is based around a fresh Inferno barbarian skill/armor set and I wanted to help visualize it for those new to inferno.
There is a short simplified summary listed below. I hope you enjoy what you see!.

Gear Switcher

To begin with, download this if you feel it might help. I've been using it for 2 weeks and haven't received any warning and lots of streamers are using it, however I might as well warn as you never know when Blizzard may change their opinion on a matter.

It allows you to swap Dps/tank gear with your Magic find gear within a second of pressing a key.
Instructions:
Download the .exe and simply follow the instructions. Download autoit and the .au3 file if it doesn't work.

Guide:
In this video, I go over a long guide on one of my optimal methods of farming Act 1 on Inferno, I also go over how simple the gear is to obtain(10k a piece)

This run usually takes 1-2 hours depending on what you want to do, obviously you can shorten your runs by skipping the mini-dungeons, but you want the most loot possible.

Bosses aren't important anymore. Getting 5 Nephalem stacks and continuously killing elite monsters is how you get the most loot as of 1.0.3
1. Buy gear in the auction house that has minimum 50 resistance and vitality. You want a minimum of 600 resistances and 30k hp for Act 1. I bought all my pieces for 10k each.
These are my runes, and my stats when I am buffed with Warcry(Impunity Rune).
2. Begin Act 1 at "The Impisoned Angel" and start the quest at the subquest "The cursed hold"
3. Teleport to the cemetery, kill the yellow skeleton at the way point if it has spawned, if not simply clear out the crypts.
4. Teleport to Leoric's Manor, and backtrack all the way to Highlands crossing, clearing all the mini dungeons.
5. Teleport back to Leoric's Manor, and clear all the way up to the Warden.
6. Either repeat, or continue on to kill the Butcher. This all really depends on if you want to kill him or not.
7. Inspect your ilevel 61-63 rares, and hope for the best!

Note: I will spoiler my post and compile it with the other posts made in this thread, if it get's to a point that a lot of videos and guides are being made. Thanks!

I'm a Wizard, and for my solo MF runs I do A1 clears. I made a video showing a typical run with no edited footage.

Wizard MF run in A1 with 246 passive MF


I skip the spider caves and the cathedral level 4, but otherwise I hit every area. I optimized my build to be what I consider a perfect blend of killing speed, defense, and MF. It is much more efficient this way instead of leaving and remaking games after just a short circuit, especially since I have 18% move speed. I also have 246 MF on my gear and I do not swap.

This run takes about 60-70 minutes. In this video, I found 2 ilvl 63 rare weapons, which is about average. I usually get between 2-4 rare ilvl 63 items in an A1 full clear. I net 3-4 bags full of items that I consider worthwhile to pick up. You will notice in the video I don't pick up a lot of rares, because they are low level weapons which are all useless. Even in the worse case scenario, I can clear about 100 essences per run and several items to sell on the AH for ~100-1000k range.

I am currently farming A2 efficiently with a Monk friend, might post a video on that. We clear most areas and ZK/Belial in about 2 hours. A2 is noticeably harder though, we do run into a few deaths here and there.
