Description

The fortified stronghold of the corrupted Zakarum high council. Three council members must be slain here to obtain Khalim's Flail and open the way to the Durance of Hate. A popular Rune farming location. Contains a waypoint.

The Travincal is home to the Council Members — a group of powerful Super Unique monsters clustered around a temple just outside the Durance of Hate entrance. Despite being only alvl 82, the Council's generous drop tables and static spawn location make this one of the most efficient farming spots in the game, particularly for High Runes and gold.

Why Farm Here

The Council Members are Super Uniques that always drop at least 2 items of Magic quality or higher. Their drop pool includes High Runes up to Cham, plus a wide variety of valuable Uniques, Sets, and jewels including Rainbow Facets. The static map and dedicated waypoint mean zero navigation time — you can start killing within seconds of entering a game.

Getting There

Use the Travincal waypoint. The Council Members spawn in a fixed location around the temple on the right side of the map. No exploration is needed.

Farming Tips
  • Council Members have Fire, Cold, and Lightning immunities across the group. Builds dealing Physical or Magic damage have the easiest time.
  • They cast Fire Hydras and can heal each other. Kill them quickly or isolate individuals to prevent regeneration.
  • Barbarians with Find Item (Horking) get exceptional value here — each corpse is an extra roll on the Council's drop table, effectively doubling your loot.
  • Nearby Hierophants can heal the Council — clear or avoid them.
  • Magic Find is helpful but do not sacrifice kill speed or resistances for it. The Council hits hard.
Notable Drops

High Runes (up to Cham), Harlequin Crest, Stone of Jordan, Mara's Kaleidoscope, Herald of Zakarum, Stormshield, War Traveler, and any Rainbow Facet. Barbarian Horking makes this arguably the best High Rune farming spot in the game.
