Welcome to the third installment of the TC3 Hunting Tournament! In this thread you can sign-up and discuss strategies with the other participants. This time around there is more than two weeks of time to complete your set and I hope this motivates more people to join in.
What follows is mostly due to @T72on1 who hosted the previous two installments with some slight tweaks.
What is the TC3 Hunting Tournament?
The TC3 Hunting Tournament is a contest where we try to farm as many different TC3 items as possible during a 6 week period, within a maximum amount of time for each character. Score will solely depend on the number of different TC3 items found. For a list of all TC3 items see below. All items can be dropped by Normal Andariel (a lot of them even from lower targets), except for the 4 items with a qlvl of >16. If you are seeking for advice to increase your efficiency at tracking down those TC3s, check out the TC3 hunting FAQ draft. Or you could have a look at the previous TC3 Hunting Tournaments and their result threads, all of which contain great information. You can find them here:
When does the TC3 Hunting Tournament take place?
It starts next Friday January 28 at 00:01 am and ends on Sunday March 13 at 11:59 pm. Both local time. This means you have six weeks to complete a set.
Rules and info
Scoring
As has already been stated, every different TC3 item grants 1 point. These are all TC3 uniques available:
Tancred's Hobnails, Sander's Paragon and Vidala's Ambush can't drop in the selected areas and must be gambled for. Blinkbat's Form can only drop from certain superuniques in act 2, as well as most bosses / champs there. Bane Ash can also drop this item. Altogether there are 23 different TC3 items and the current all time best for a TC3 hunting set is 20, set by @Nano, who also won both previous iterations of this tournament.
Results
When you are finished running please send your results to me, including the number of distinct TC3 items you have found as well as the overall number of TC3 items you got. (It pays to have a GoMule stash dedicated just to those TC3 items, so you can easily get that number without counting)
I will try to get a results thread up as soon as possible, where you can post readouts of your finds or show off with a stylish haul pic, just like you would in the RFL or the MFO.
Please don't post any info on how many TC3s you have found before the tournament is over, as that would ruin a lot of the fun.
Participants
Signup is open until the end of the tournament, so you can join in at any time. Once people join I will update this part with a list of participants.
Good luck to everyone!
