Value of an Act 1 Inferno Run - "The Cursed Hold"

As mentioned in an earlier post today, we recommend that Inferno Act 1 farmers begin their runs in "The Cursed Hold."  To illustrate the payoffs, I just did a solo run with a level 60 Monk with the following stats:

18 Minutes, 40 Seconds:

That's with a Mantra turned on that boosted Dodge and Armor...and never you mind my sad little Vitality score!  I managed to not-die and only used two health potions to boot!

My route was mostly direct.  In fact, I may have taken the shortest routes possible.  In "Halls of Agony Level 2," I recommend making a straight line directly away from the waypoint to get to the exit.  Even though I took a very short route I managed to acquire 5 Nephalem Valor stacks.

I should note that you may trigger an event in the area directly outside the "Halls of Agony Level 2."  I did not encounter the event on this run but you may fight an additional Unique boss.

In terms of loot, I have found set pieces and legendaries although I did not find anything spectacular this time.  The chart below summarizes the magic items I scored with 14% Gold Find and 30% Magic Find (in addition to Nephalem Valor):

I also picked up 21,569 gold and 6 Tomes of Secret.  That became 34,067 gold when I sold all the items I picked up (except for one which I am going to sell on the AH).

For those of you particularly curious, I've put these two maps of my route in the "Halls of Agony."
