About 10 hours in with Sorc, hoping for a strong finish in the remaining 5 hours!
Started as CB/Static/Nova Sorc in the beginning for progression/leveling, then respec'ed into Firewaller to run Andy.
Gear:
+2 Fire Wall Leaf Staff
2 PTopaz Helmet
Stealth
10 FCR/14 MF Rare Amulet
10 FCR/9 MF/8 Mana Rare Ring
30 MF Nagel
Hsarus Belt
25 MF Gloves
28 MF Boots
154 MF Total (with a possible 254 MF on weapon swap if I were to have a Gull dagger, but I can't confirm I do.)
I like running Stealth on Sorc, so I stayed with that instead of gem shrine farming for 3 additional P Topazes in a body armor. It took almost 15 minutes to shop that +2 Fire Wall staff from Drognan. Not sure it was worth it since I don't think the extra damage was necessary.
Some random tips for those running:
-Shop up to 25 MF gloves or boots at Elzix, reset shop with WP or sewers.
-Gamble boots for 26-35 MF (affix lvl 26) or 20 FRW (affix lvl 22).
-Run Andy for Nagels. She can also drop Hsarus boots for 20 FRW.
-3 Chipped Gem Recipe on Staves for a chance at teleport charges, otherwise sell for 10k gold. Level 24 requirement. Nice shortcut at Catacombs 4 for non-Sorc characters, but repair cost is not cheap.
-Along with Stealth, Zephyr bow can also be another source of FRW.
