KTA - Team SPEED - starting now!

MrKaxe said:
HC Trading is an absolute nightmare! Luckily i met some new, rich mates who have advised me on trading prices as I didn't have much of a clue before as I find all this nice stuff then get stiffed on trading as i'm a n00b at it!
If you take a look at one of the price guides around here, then triple the price, that's what some of the cattle.net kiddies demand for something! It's insane!
When it comes to pgem trades, as they are so easy to make (i pick up every flawless i find and cube the pants off of them!) i usually make a game saying for example 'N Gores O 15 Pg' (they are worth 10 max but you will have to wait ages to get someone sensible to trade with) to get a quicker trade as i can depend on the greed of others to join my game and if i'm desperate and want them quick, in this example, i'd jack it up to 20!
With items i want that will benefit me bigstyle but aren't 'L337' to others i will also overpay with pGems (a guy was trading a +2 Fire Skills crafted with 9% FCR on it and some other gravy mods, as it helped me to free up a ring slot for a Dwarf Star and have the Fire Skills i needed at the time and meet a breakpoint still, i went for it! Trader made me offer a price so i said 10 pGems just to secure the trade (as it was in a an open game) and i CBA to haggle all the time! Realistically, with the worth of that amulet, start them off with 5 and if they refuse say 7 or 8)

Big-value items i will wait on and definately try and get value for value trading for, sometimes again, i will screw myself for wanting something desperately (e.g i traded my 3/-3 Cold Die Facet for a 32/12 Skin non-upped as i wanted it there and then, also traded a Cold Skiller for a Shako which i could have waited and got more worth for but that paid off as it had a pTopaz in it already saving me a socket Q!) and overpay but sometimes you have to! I can give you a rough idea if you wanted to trade for something or if i have an equivalent item (still poor atm but that's soon to change!) you can have it free :wink3:
I've found a nice profitable run from reading on the forums somewhere i can have nailed in a couple of minutes:

1) Get IK barb, equip BO helm and amulet and switch to BO-stixx
2) Buff BO @ Trav WP
3) Switch helmet to IK with Topaz and MF amulet
4) Lay the smackdown on the Hell Council by just keep whirling thorugh them and don't stop for love nor money! (Merc's Reaper's Toll triggering makes this go quicker but he might need a juve if he's swarmed)
5) Hork the corpses
6) TP to town to sell blue armours etc worth loadsa gold!
7) Go to Act 4 as the wp is quicker to access in next game
8) Rinse and repeat

I find you can get some juicy charms, jools, and a buttload of money for gambling from these guys and it's quick and painless to do! Once my cheezy Meteorb gets to lvl 62 to put that Shako on i will do the more conventional runs of Meph and Baal and maybe we can run them together and alternate drops? That's something else four of us were doing last night at Hell Baal so we got the exp from runs and a drop order to boot!

Anyway, back to KTA! Can't wait for tonight as i will finally have Fury to run around with! Feral on my right click for 'personal life tap' and Fury to dish the pain on my left!

I missed playing like that. Now its just go on jsp sell my loot by hrs become overpowered and become sick of the game.



 
That's bad luck Miikai. You've got enough time to get your character into the mid 30's before next Monday.

I've got just the gloves for you too. I crafted some +1 Martial Arts, 6% CB, 2%LL gloves last night which I'm using on my Furysin. I used up one of the two Perfect Rubies we have. The other went to our Frosty who got 9%CB on his gloves iirc.

I think you'll have more benefit from them than I will.

I shopped after the session last night for two +1 assa claws at Anya last night. Took about 7 minutes.

Really getting the hang of Spinnywizzz now, got my Venom, DS and Shadow each at level 7 now. (9 with my claw buffs). The only grumble that I have is that the wolves and vines are eating some of the corpses before my Death Sentry could blow them. Not a major issue as we're kicking butt at the mo.

A good session last night.
 
Wolves? Vines? NEST!! (I have no vine, sometimes on bosses i use poison vine as i have a +1 to it on my helm with no points in it and my big Grizzly Bear pal is no dirty corpse eater!)

We managed to get a lot done last night, going well this session is (Yoda-ish there...) but i feel i'm gonna get raped in NM as my weapon damage is so poor and my resistances are gonna take a pounding...not looking forward to NM...

(My negative outlook is probably due to the fact the sorc i talked about a few posts back died a lag death last night, first one in year i think but partly my fault as she was lvl 47 entering the Worldstone Chamber in NM as my mate was rushing me and the tentacles got me when the screen returned...lost Shako, crafted amulet, 32 Skin etc. The worst part is, my mate left as the lag hit as he was already fighting baal...he was level 89 with full Tals and must have had at least 15xx life so what did he have to fear?! Can't blame him though, damn dupe-lag...)

I took a few screenies which i will post to oOmpie...and he might post the ones i sent him last week when he posts the new!
 
I think we should run Baal till the Mid 40's next session. We are going to need some decent drops. Now two of us have come crushing blow it will make things a bit more speedy.

There is no point going into NM if ressies are rubbish. We'll need to go gem hunting too so we've all at least got a pair of CB gloves if nothing else.
 
Instead making a kicksin, i think i will go for a zealer again, this time with fana. Helps out the party more. Will anyone be online today?
 
Not 'til quite quite late Miikai as I GM ShadowRun on a Tuesday night (hmm, deja vu; i seem to write this a lot in this thread/the forums!) so i'm not usually back until late and then i get on d2 around 11:45pm :shocked:

Wednesday night i might be on, i'll acually whisp you this time if i am!
 
Hi all, here's some screenies I was supposed to be puttin gonline last week and the curren overview of the rune stash. As far as I know most people still have their own frigid highlands quest runes, so there should be more than this.

Last week's stuff:
Gem Stash
Crushing Blow will be ours, muahahahaha

Some expressionist masterpiece dealing with big demons and tiny biznatchslappers
While everybody else is fighting Izual, a particular amazone finds a 3os superior breast plate and takes her time time to brag about the one she is already wearing and was found just minutes before
This is what it takes to boot everyone from the game when your friendly neighbourhood wolf forgets to brush his teeth before chewing on some rock worm

Rune stash after yesterday's session:
Gieb ro0nz!1!

Well,
that's about it for now. Unfortunately work and university leave me no time to help you out during the week, Mikaii. Good luck on your way to next Monday's session, though!
 
yes, every monday, same time, same place

i will probably have time to help out lvling on friday evening and in the weekend, i will poost here when i do.

but i do think that the first act, and to at least lvl 12-14 you should just be playing alone, as rushing that has little use. and lvling those lvls takes about as much time as playing by yourselve.

As my resistances were pants i had to use the Ral and Ort but it was in a nice Light Plate with 25 to life on it so it will go to my merc when i outgrow it...you can add the Tal rune to the mule!

QFT :brainiac:



 
I was on last night for most of the night - did not see anyone else online.

Terrible to hear of the Sorc death MrKaxe - if you need help to get back on your feet sharpish just let me know - my level 50 sorc will help out - she is tip-toeing through Nightmare Act 2 currently. Still in desperate need of a Sol - but I have found a few Hel's etc

As for monday - I am happy to run Baal and Big D for items & exp.

I am keeping my runes for Act 5 Q2 so I can make an ancients pledge when I get a decent 3 socket shield. I am in decent nick for once - holy shield coupled with hopefully decent resistances will help me out. My armour is woeful so thats next on my list!

I should be on tonight also if anyone is game! Those screenies are very good - I especially like the chill factor provided by yours truly! ;D

I'm gonna get back on the horse with the sorc i think as i still have a Magefist, Rising Sun (Telling of Beads before clvl req) Upped Hotspur, String or Verdungoes with 39 to Vit, 26 Viper (boo! Topaz in it methinks), Wizzy (which i will socket with my 4/-4 Cold Die facet i think, use Suicide Branch before clvl req) and a 4-socket Monarch which I will obviously roll out a Spirit in (Mosers before clvl req).
I have a Mal run which i will try and trade another Shako for but i'm not holding out hope and i need to get some hefty Strength rings and Str charms with life mods on to buff her up to that Monarch. Gonna be a mission but for safety i think another Meteorb is in order with that setup...if i die again i have naff all sorc items left and i will suffer greatly in the inability to MF fast :undecided:

I appreciate the offer of help dude and when she has a few levels under her belt we can walk through NM and speaking of which, i need to level my Zealot so he can use Drac's and probably that Verdungoes so i can have a 1-point Uber/Clone Smiter just incase on my Hell (IK Barb) MF travels i get lucky and he spawns or my mate needs help in Ubers so if you want, we can walk through NM together tonight?

Oh by the by, outside of KTA, if i have something spare, just ask and i give! I used to game a lot with waflob outside of KTA and I have no objections to giving/donating items if needed and i have spare! The Sol for instance, i can give you tonight although the only 4-socket weapon i have at the mo is a non-eth CV so i can't help ya there (req are too big for your merc @ clvl 50 and i find them to be hella slow!)...need to NM cow and find some more!

I second that, as we can get some decent early-mid NM viable weapons from Baal and Big D and they will last us until we hit Meph NM then we can run him...g13b R1bbY M3pH1 j00 nUbz0rz!!

When i phoned the missus this morning she told me she is stinking ill so she will be going to bed as soon as she gets in (well, after the curry i'm gonna buy us all!) so that means i'll have a fair amount of playtime tonight! I'll msg when i get in!

Although I skipped this KTA, I still follow the thread and the same goes for me aswell. If you need help, my level 78 sorc handles everything until the end of nightmare with ease, especially if she gets BOed by Soundcheck. I will be online next weekend if you need a helping hand.



 
During the weekends I might be able to help out lvling every now and then as well. I've got got a javazon well in her sixties that is pretty decent for rushing/lvling...

Not much else though, since I built her into a hybrid, don't have any decent javelins and lost her Insight when partyBoomer croaked :/

Much appreciated dude, thanks! I will start her off small, all the way through Act 1,2 and 3 with 3 having a bit of help from you guys in the form of waypoints but that way the merc will level with me from Act 2 til end game (Prayer) and i can then after Meph a minor rush to get baalrunning 'til clvl 50and then a NM walk i think, i'll shout you and the others when and thanks again!
