You can get pretty good XP there, in my opinion. If I am playing with my brother we always go down there, we like them.
I also got my first (and only) Tyrael's Might from one of these.

bump for this idea. areas people never go into and skip entirely. put some sort of sub boss in the area that drops/has a chance to drop a key/ item from a set of key/items that you cube into a unique charm, or use as a portal into another area to fight some other boss for some unique charm or other high end item etc> |

Quote: areas people never go into and skip entirely ??Because these are optional areas. I like to go there and face 2 marils boss +1 seraph at once.Quote: put some sort of sub boss in the area that drops/has a chance to drop a key/ item from a set of key/items that you cube into a unique charm Yeah. But IMO there should be a mean boss that drops Unique Sword 1lvl req 50-60dmg +40 ias so you twink your next char easier  . Heh no more rewards, this mod needs challenge, no additional nuke sources.Or just remove all skills from first 3 act bosses'(hint: location names) shards and add new "Uber" boss versions that can actually drop shards with +1. |

im not saying you have to change them you can still go there and have your two marls and serpahs but add something that makes others want to go there any tundra game you run in ask if people want to do that area and they are like wtf is that area or why go there or its to hard and the monsters dont give enough exp for it etc etc and with the right duo/trio diablo and baal shards are just as easy to farm as andy-meph just takes more time is all. hell if you have a blaze sorc and psn zon i think you can solo diablo and baal anyway |

I think that these areas should have a lvl 2 with their respective "banished" boss, like banished Andarial ect, each have 10% chance to drop an item, place item in cube and go to an "uber tundra," essentially tundra with more uniques and champs, no uber charms, no special drops, no change in exp, just another place to farm with a good group of people. One thing i liked about median XL were side and subquests that usually required a high level character/team to do. idk if you want to implement a similar system or w/e. |

a while ago, I pitched the idea of having the golden chests kick out guaranteed rune drop. The idea was to clone nihla's treasure class, lower it a bit and apply it to the golden chests. This made for a non-boss method of gathering runes. I thought it was a rather nice idea, but it never got put in to place. |

blue that is a nifty idea but its pretty easy to just teleport to the chest nab and repeat. maybe a boss where the chest is that then spawns a portal after killed with a chest that has % chance to drop rune vex-sur or something ? still seems easy way to get runes. read my enhancement gem idea in below thread tell me what you think |

Quote: blue that is a nifty idea but its pretty easy to just teleport to the chest nab and repeat In levels.txt there's a "teleport" column and it can be 0, 1 or 2. 0 means you can't use tele there.If that was a chest there, whole area should be harder, much. |

leaping thro entire level of cantors, balrogs, seraphs, berserkers sounds fun, challenge on its own. |

Just like LoS and Sammy you mean... right, but MXL has ~30 of these along with level challenges, minigames, challenges, ect. |
