The important part to know for speedruns through normal is that you want to get lvl 20 during the CS. Lets check how we do that:
- Blood Moor - you want to get lvl 2 here. Zombies are the best experience in this area
- Untill Andariel - You want to focus on boss groups. You will have to make some Countess runs - thats a huge chunk of experience in the forgotten tower. lvl 12-13 should be best for reaching Andariel
- Act 2 - Far oasis and the rockey waste with beetles are awesome expierence. But you will have to kill other nomal monsters aswell - just try to get larger amounts. lvl 17 should be your minimum goal for Duriel.
- Act 3 - The flayer jungle is the area you want to clear for experience here to get close to 20 before mephisto.
There is an experience shrine that gives you 50% more experience for 144 seconds. Make sure to use any of those you find as efficiently as possible.
