'''Rushing''' or '''turboing''' is the process of using a higher level [[character]] rush to assist one or more lower low level characters in a very speedy pass through the game. This sort of rushing can be subtle, such as giving a character a waypoint or killing a boss for them; or a full on safari guide style shepherding through entire acts or difficulty levels. Rushing is done for various reasons; to rapidly level up new characters via experience exploits, to advance new characters to a higher level for a specific [[quest]] reward (rushing for runes from the Nightmare and Hell difficulty [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Two:_The_Hellforge Hellforge quest] was a popular pastime in Diablo 2), to power up a low level character (with quest rewards) so they'll be stronger for low level dueling, or just for fun. ==D3 Team Approves of Rushing== The Diablo 3 developers do not want rushing to be abused, but they recognize that it's a social activity and something most players start to do once they've played other characters and experienced the early gamecontent. Bashiok detailed their attitude in a forum post from April 2011.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blue-on-rushing-and-obtaining-materials-without-salvaging/] <blue>For most people there are two forms of “rushing”. One is essentially playing on bugs to skip content that isn’t intended to be skip-able. The other is either using your previously acquired wealth to twink a new character, and/or have a high level character help run you through the content.<br><br>Rushing through use of unintended mechanics or bugs to skip content is not something we’ll support, of course, and ideally we’ll fix any such issues should they crop up.<br><br>Outfitting a new character with better items and having a friend with a high level character rush you through content, we’re totally fine with. While, yes, we could be sentimental and hope that you’re really interesting in experiencing the content at the pace and balance we worked hard to achieve, having a friend rush you through content is a positive social experience. Having them help you hit a level where you’re both able to tackle content that’s relevant creates a positive social experience. Regardless of the intended pace, it’s co-operative play, and that’s not bad.</blue>
There is also a variety of nice quest rewards that characters obtain along the way. Rushing low level characters through {{iw|Act_IV Act IV}} of [[Nightmare]] and [[Hell]] in order to obtain the {{iw|Hellforge Hellforge}} {{iw|Rune rune}} drops became a very popular past time once the quality of those runes was increased in the v1.10 patch.
