Oni-Goroshi farming - timing question

Hello,

I am just trying to farm a bit Oni and wanted to ask if this thing is still valid, that if you logout and in again on the same char on a non resetted strand do I really get still my chance for uber hillock?

Because I am using three chars and went through the strand so fast the strand on my first char did not reset yet. Do I now have to wait 8 minutes?

thanks!

Keep 4 characters in rotation. I had the same problem when I dropped Oni and went from 4 to 3 characters. The zone didn´t reset yet and it was annoying.

It doesn't take 8 minutes for the zone to rest.
I ran three characters in rotation twice and it takes about 2.5 - 3 minutes to reset.

it only takes 1.5 min for the area to reset. I only made 3 char and had it drop on 2 of them. And both were shortly after hitting level 7
I think they said it takes about 90 seconds for the zone to reset.
Once your characters reach lvl 7 you´re gonna have 10% MS Boots, you will just run to Hillock and burst him down. I hope you are using Scion because Scion is the best choice.

I still have 4 Farmers. 2 of them lvl 7 one of them lvl 6 and one level 3 or 4 that I made just so I don´t start the rotation to early and have a wasted run because the zone hasn´t reset yet.


If I do a 3 character rotation on my Scions, I´ll be too fast every single time.
So instead of trying to measure the exact time I have to wait after each third run, I just made a 4th character.

I meant to type 1.5 - 2 (was sleepy head mode this AM) ;)
When I ran 3 Duelists no reset issues.
When I ran 3 Scions (as noted above) they can be a bit quicker.

I have a Logitech G510 gaming keyboard which has a a small LED display that can be programmed for various functions such as CPU % usage (real time processing load) and total memory used. I can use it as a stop watch and when I start the timer it's still 90 seconds until the zone resets on a character (sometimes I'd swear it's just over 90 like 93 secs). Anyway, it's supposed to be 90 secs. so at higher levels when you can make a run in 45 secs. a 3 build minimum rotation is needed to not have to pause before using the next farmer in the rotation.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.
