- +3. Farming the Materials for the Staff of Herding
Whimsyshire is a secret level in Diablo 3. It is also known as a ponylevel or the cow level. The Staff of Herding is requiredto enter the level and crafting this staff involves farming for a few differentmaterials. Entering Whimsyshire for the first time grants you theIn The Land Of Killer Unicorns achievement, which rewards you with aStars Banner Patter and a Unicorn Banner Sigil.Also, obtaining Wirt's Bell, one of the required materials forthe Staff of Herding, grants you the Wirt's Case Scenario achievement.
1. Adventure Mode or Campaign Mode and Difficulty Settings
All the materials can be farmed in both Adventure Mode or Campaign Mode.Each material can only be farmed in a very specific place, so you alwayswant to choose the mode that gives you the fastest access to that specificplace.
Jun 07, 2012 Demonbuddy. Demonbuddy the 3rd party Farming and Leveling Tool for the amazing Diablo 3 Game.
We farmed the staff after the release of Patch 2.1.0 and we foundthat the difficulty setting seemed to have no influence on the drop rates(we mostly played in Torment I).Note that most of the materials are not actually dropped, but rather lootedfrom objects that randomly spawn, so this may help explain why we didnot notice any conclusive change in drop rates.
2. Getting the Recipe for the Staff of Herding
The first item you will need to craft the staff is the recipe,Plan: Staff of Herding, which drops from Izual in the Act IV.
You can farm the plan in both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode.
- In Campaign Mode, you need to:
- start a new game for Act IV, Quest 4: Prime Evil, Part 1: Begin Quest;
- port to the Crystal Colonnade waypoint;
- enter the Gateway to the Silver Spire;
- cross the bridge and enter the Silver Spire Level 1;
- find the entrance to the Great Span in the Silver Spire Level 1;
- enter the Great Span and defeat Izual.
- In Adventure Mode, you need to:
- create a game;
- port to the Act IV, Silver Spire Level 1 waypoint;
- find the entrance to the Great Span in the Silver Spire Level 1;
- enter the Great Span and defeat Izual.
As you can see, you can gain some time by playing in Adventure Mode, because youcan port directly to the Silver Spire Level 1. In Campaign Mode, you need tocross two additional zones: Crystal Colonnade and Gateway to the Silver Spire.
The recipe is not guaranteed to drop from Izual, far from that. So, you willhave to try many times before obtaining the plan. In Adventure Mode, simply leavethe game and recreate. In Campaign Mode, leave the game and resume it to resetthe quest and get Izual to spawn again.
3. Farming the Materials for the Staff of Herding
In order to craft the Staff of Herding, you will need 50,000Gold and the following items:
- Black Mushroom;
- Leoric's Shinbone;
- Wirt's Bell;
- Liquid Rainbow;
- Gibbering Gemstone.
In the console version of the game, crafting the staff only costs5,000 Gold and requires neither Leoric's Shinbone nor Liquid Rainbow.
3.1. Black Mushroom
The Black Mushroom can be found in the Cathedral Level 1, in Act I.You can farm it in both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode.
- In Campaign Mode, you need to:
- start a new game for Act I, Quest 3: A Shattered Crown, Part 1: Begin Quest;
- port to the Cathedral Garden waypoint;
- enter the Cathedral Level 1, by going up to the Cathedral, opening its door, and going through the hole left by the meteorite;
- In Adventure Mode, you need to:
- create a game;
- port to the Act I, Cathedral Level 1 waypoint.
As you can see, reaching the Cathedral Level 1 is faster in Adventure Mode,so we advise you to use that mode to farm the Black Mushroom.
The Black Mushroom spawns in a room of very specific shape (see imagebelow), which willmost often appear in the bottom right corner of the map. So, whenever you enterthe Cathedral Level 1, explore it in such a way that you try to locatethe bottom right corner of the map. If the room there has the wrong shape,simply leave and recreate in Adventure Mode, or leave and resume in CampaignMode.
Once you find the room, you cannot miss the Black Mushroom, but here is a picture,just in case.
3.2. Leoric's Shinbone
Leoric's Shinbone, which is not required on console, can be foundin Leoric's Manor, in Act I. You can farm it in both Adventure Mode and CampaignMode.
In Campaign Mode, you need to start the game in Act I, Quest 9: The Imprisoned Angel, Part 2: The Cursed Hold.Port to the Leoric's Manor waypoint. From there, follow the route shown in the image below (in Adventure Mode, the waypoint is even closer).
In Adventure Mode, you need to port to the Leoric's Manor Courtyard waypoint in Act I.From there, use the entrance immediately next to the way point (to the northeast). Once in the Manor, clear the enemies and enter the first room on the right, before the flight of stairs,as shown in the image above.
At the end of the room in which you arrive, there is a fireplace. If there areBurnt Logs in the fireplace, click them and they will drop Leoric's Shinbone.If not, then leave the game and resume it to start over.
3.3. Wirt's Bell
Wirt's Bell is sold by Squirt the Peddler in the Hidden Camp, Act II for100,000 Gold. To get there, simply create a game in Adventure Mode and use the HiddenCamp waypoint from Act II. When you spawn in the Hidden Camp, Squirt is a few metersabove you on the screen.
3.4. Liquid Rainbow
Liquid Rainbow, which is not required on console, is found in the Mysterious Chest, which hasa chance to spawn in the Mysterious Cave in the Dahlgur Oasis, Act II.The Mysterious Cave is not a guaranteed spawn either, for you mustfirst find Zaven the Alchemist in the Dahlgur Oasis and speak to him toopen the cave, but he does not always spawn.
The first (and most important) step is to have an efficient method for findingZaven the Alchemist in the Dahlgur Oasis. As it turns out, Zaven onlyspawns in two possible locations in the Oasis (which has a map with a fixedlayout) and one of these locations is extremely close to the Path ofthe Oasis waypoint from the Campaign Mode. So, what you should dois the following:
- create a game in Campaign Mode for Act II, Quest 6: Betrayer of the Horadrim,Part 2: The Forgotten Ruins;
- follow the path in the image below;
- if Zaven the Alchemist is in the cul-de-sac, kill the enemies around him,talk to him, enter the Mysterious Cave, and explore it to find theMysterious Chest;
- if you do not find Zaven the Alchemist or if you do not find the MysteriousChest in the Mysterious cave, leave the game and resume.
Zaven can easily be missed, because you cannot interact with him untilyou have killed the nearby monsters. Also, he does not stand out very muchfrom his environment, so here is a picture of what you must be looking for.
3.5. Gibbering Gemstone
The Gibbering Gemstone has a low chance to drop from Chiltara in theCaverns of Frost Level 2, which are located in the Fields of Slaughter, Act III.
Farming the Gibbering Gemstone is the same in Adventure Mode and Campaign Mode.In Adventure Mode, you need to port to The Bridge of Korsikk waypoint. In CampaignMode, you need to create a game for Act III, Quest 6: Siegebreaker, Part I: BeginQuest, and port to The Bridge of Korsikk waypoint.
In the image above, you can see the Fields of Slaughter with The Bridge ofKorsikk waypoint in the lower left corner. The 6 possible spawn locations forthe Caverns of Frost have been marked. So, the idea is to get to the Bridge ofKorsikk waypoint and circle around the map to check all the possible spawn locations.If you find the Icefall Caves, you can leave and recreate (or resume in Campaign Mode),because there will always be exactly one subzone that you can access from theFields of Slaughter, and it will be either Icefall Caves or Caverns of Frost. Ifyou find the Caverns of Frost, head for the Level 2, find Chiltara and hopefor a drop. If she does not drop the Gemstone, simply leave and recreate(or resume in Campaign Mode).
In Adventure Mode, if you get the Bounty for the Icefall Caves, you do not evenneed to go to the Fields of Slaughter. You can recreate right away and the Cavernsof Frost will not be there.
4. Entering Whimsyshire
After crafting the Staff of Herding, put it in your inventory andhead for the road to Old Tristam in Act I. In Campaign Mode, create a gamefor Act I, Quest 2: Legacy of Cain, Part 1: Begin Quest, and port to The OldRuins waypoint. In Adventure Mode, simply port to The Old Ruins waypoint inAct I.
When you reach the waypoint, follow the path in the image above. At the quest sign,you will find the Ghost of the Cow King. Speak with him and he will transformthe red chasm next to him into a portal to Whimsyshire.
