We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

I thought a Pindle thread could be nice since he's special (Not entirely different from Low Kurast running) in that he requires quite extreme amounts of running, but also has excellent odds of giving amazing gear. Plus, it's also nice to encourage and boost the morale of new, onsetting Pindle runners!



So, what has Pindle granted you so far?

So, what has Pindle gifted you with today, anything of note, how many runs have you done, what items are you hoping for, etc?

Personally, I'm hoping for Death's Fathom, Tomb Reaver, Reaper's Toll and Griffon's Eye.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

because we have an item find thread for general items found. LK has really really expensive items that Pindle won't drop in any reliable fashion.

/opinion
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Yeah, but people starting to run him might need a bit of encouragement given the amount of time you'll have to invest, but he WILL pay off eventually.


Also, this is a nitpick, but IIRC Pindle can drop all the way up to Zod, though the odds are... Well, bad.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

I think the real difference is pindle is a traditional MF target and he follows all the known statistics. LK greatly differs because the truncated seed means a very limited number of drops which can reasonably be tracked and have a very real effect each person's results.

No such situation with Pindle.

Also there is the Elite Runners thread, that tracks large numbers of runs and highlights the results.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

That's a good point, that one didn't cross my mind. Oh well, it was with good intent!
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Pindle dropped 3 TC87s for me in the first 100 runs I did of him.. However the next 1k+ runs I have seen hardly even a single elite s/u drop :)

Hahaha. Wonderful. What items?


 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

I am sitting currently at 1k runs. 50 first runs netted me 2 Immortal King's Soul Cages, one for me and other for my friend to both complete the set. Later I've got Stormspire and Griswold's Valor but I don't recall anything good in last ~300 runs. But for average, 4x TC87 S/U's per 1k runs doesn't sound too shabby.

I think it´s better to go with Elite Runners Thread to, Or think through this thread a little more, do a header with some rules how to post or someting, table with amounts of runs.

maybe Elit Runners should be divided into seperate threads, the 2 tables there are madly long

:scratchchin:


 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

I've begun to think that pindle is some kind of code word for hacking items.
"Wow! Where did get those Tal-Rashas?"
"From pindle."(=I hacked them.)

Attemption to be funny. Oh well.
After two evenings -and this means quite a few runs despite being a short time- of running pindle with Blizzard-Sorc I've found few Isenharts, a sander, and some low-level uniques that I didn't bother picking up. After two hours of running I was about to figure that pindle cannot drop set or unique items. :whistling:
Enough of whining about my bad luck, back to pindle...
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

I just had a Pindle related incident.. Decided to run him on p8 for some exp (irony) and to recover some gold.

He was the only one left alive with like 1/10 hp and charged straight past my merc into my l93 blizzard sorc with max block, 1040 life, 1800 defense and 75 fire resist. She died.

I've checked him in awe, he was FE as usual and got extra fast and extra strong. Which was obviously enough on players 8. That bonus damage is really noticeable I guess.

Funny thing is I ran him almost 4500 times on p1 and only died once to my extreme idiotism when I tped into the pack and decided to blizzard them from inside (no glacial), then I tried to tp out (still no glacial) and then I failed to drink a purple.

I did manage to recover my body tho..

Edit: Its actually 1080 life and 2061 defense..just to be accurate.

And 10% dmr from the Shako! :D
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Charging Pindle deals quite a bit of damage when he hits :)
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Pindle is a wuss...I make him cry.

He still won't give up Teh Pindy Windy, tho. And I have tallied approximately 15K (14,915) runs but haven't updated the Elite Runners table lately.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Albatross - as stated earlier (I think in this thread,) Charging zombies ignore block. They can sometimes be bugged to miss you, but if they charge, they can do serious damage - my record is 1300 in one charge.

I play HC, so a mis-teleport can easily lead to a deeds (and has. ;)) But as long as you're aware, and not drowsy/distracted, this situation is rare.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

Wow, lucky me with my max block then.. The strange thing was I was standing pretty close to the entrance of his room and my merc was half way in there hitting a minion. Pindle really surprised me as he completely ignored my hireling.
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

sort of on topic:

whats the best /players level to run pindle on

and whats a good merc set up?
 
Re: We've got an LK thread, so why not a Pindle thread?

/players 1 is the best unless you want to level up.

As for a merc setup, it depends. I like my Barbmerc with a 1.07 Eth Oath CB, Gladiator's Bane and Crown of Thieves, he easily tanks and takes care of CI Pindle.


Hit 1k runs today, very satisfied. 2 Tal's chests, Hellslayer, Firelizard's, Jade Talons, Messerschmidt's, triple resist FHR boots, Arioc's, Hellrack, Gladiator's - Pindle is my new best friend.
