Liquid Rainbow took me a good hour or so.  Got the Frost Caves done on my first attempt.

Got into Whimsyshire tonight by joining a PUG.

I had lvl8 Wizard and I joined an Act1 co-op.  A level 46 was there and he opened the rainbow chasm.  Good times.  Got a level out of it and some middling loot.

Just done collecting all the pieces for this as well as the crafting plans, after a mind-numbing amount of runs to get the gemstone from the cave and the plans from the boss in Act IV. I earned about 200,000 gold from grinding for these things. Which was a good thing, considering one of the ingredients costs 100,000 and the crafting process itself costs 50,000 =P

I'm nearing the end of act four nightmare so I need to decide whether or not to spend the 200k.  It's a good zone to farm but only becomes available at the end of a difficulty mode so wouldn't it be better to just start into hell mode rather than spend the money on an extra nightmare zone?

Well, you are going to want to do it eventually, since I think the Hell version is really worth running.  I'd say until you max out your character though your best choice is just to keep working towards max/hell.

The liquid rainbow is taking me FOREVER to find.  Does anyone know where in the Mysterious Cave the chest usually spawns, i.e., first or second floor?

Diablowiki says first floor, possibly 2nd. Rather than waste time I've just been going for the first floor. Not there, try again.  It's a rare spawn of a rare spawn, kinda sucks.

Ran through Whimsyshire during lunch - my second trip there. First trip got me 6 rares. This trip, no rares - but 1 legendary. Equipped it to get the achievement - now I'll probably sell it since I can't see a use for it :P

I'm level 50 and have yet to see a legendary.  They don't seem that great so it's no biggie though.

I got lucky, and managed to get the pattern, and the gemstone this afternoon, and headed over to Whimsyshire.  I've got to say, it's the most disturbing level in the game, in it's own strange way.

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

Okay I just got my first legendary, a level 41 belt.  There were more than FORTY SIX PAGES of them already on the auction house...  I had to lower the buyout to see the further pages.

Still have not seen a legendary, nor plans other than pony staff.

Not stacking MF at all though.

So is the Staff a One time, use, and if so, under what conditions?

I am assuming it is probably something like once per account, per Difficulty level (upgrade it to do it again on next difficulty level)?  Or can you use it multiple times per difficulty level?

The staff is account bound and you can use it as often as you want.

Trying to get the gem from the frost caves is destroying my will to live. The mushroom and the liquid rainbow took me at least an hour each, I got lucky with the shinbone I guess.  I've spent 5 hours or so on the gem and just want to stab someone.

Are you guys speed-running the zones on normal to spawn the items?

I am, yes.  Load up on the correct quest, take the nearest waypoint, run to spawn area(s)  If not there, quit and repeat.

Only have the bone and the mushroom so far and I've only seen the mystic cave guy once.   I need speed boots to move around quicker.

I don't think this has been mentioned here, but you do need an upgraded staff for each mode, NM and Hell. I don't even know if there's an Inferno level.

No matter which mode the plans drop in, when you build the staff, it is for Normal.

No, you don't have to gather the ingredients again. You do have to buy the upgraded plans from the blacksmith in Nightmare Act IV after beating Diablo for 1g. Then the new mats for the Nightmare Staff is the Normal staff plus $200k.

The Hell staff requires the NM staff and 500k.

There is, and it costs one million to upgrade it the final time.

Finally got this today. Quite fun, particularly the reactions of my family as I went in for the first time.

Oddly, the Liquid Rainbow/ Mysterious Cavern was the hardest part.  Iz dropped the plans on the 4th try and the right caverns were in the fields of slaughter on my first trip.  The cavern, however, took me an hour and a half of reloads just to get the first time, then another half hour of reloads to get the chest.
