Whew. That is a really cool build, and a lot of really high runes, haha.
Yea, that was from a time when bnet was whacked enough to provide cheaper runes, but not the abomination it is today. I'm currently in the process of accumulating enough capital for two Jahs myself (for another build) and man is it going to be a task.

Speaking of which, does anybody have the numbers on drop rates for LK or how many runs it takes to get Jah equivalent? Also, how many Trav runs would it take a 50% hork barb to get a Jah? I can't seem to find the appropriate threads.
 
For 50% hork its 1780 runs average to find/cube Jah in Travincal on players 3. In LK, it takes at average 2570 runs to cube Jah on p7/8. If your running time of LK is 1.44 times faster than your Travincal running time (or faster than that), then LK is faster target to farm Jah rune. Otherwise Travincal is better.
 
Thank you. That's exactly what i wanted to know.

Isn't there a program somewhere to help you keep track of your runs?

So, I was looking at my 1.07 Glorious Axe base (see Passion Axe above) and realizing there really was no reason not to put Kingslayer in it and finish my Vengeance sorc. Even with the worst roll, it would out-damage my Colossus Blade, and the attack speed would be way faster. Also, I got a 205% Passion with just a few rerolls, and Gripphon threw in 50 Lems on my most recent trade so I could reroll Passion a lot, so I can always do that later and get a near-perfect roll. I mainly was just being stingy because I didn't want to use another Gul, but I have several, and don't have any plans for them in the near future. So, long story short:
Code:
Kingslayer
Glorious Axe
MalUmGulFal
Two Hand Damage: 320 - 755
Indestructible
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 154
Required Dexterity: 45
Fingerprint: 0x22a21e13
Item Level: 87
Version: Expansion
+30% Increased Attack Speed
256% Enhanced Damage
-25% Target Defense
20% Bonus to Attack Rating
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
50% Chance of Open Wounds
Prevent Monster Heal
+1 to Vengeance
+10 to Strength
40% Extra Gold from Monsters
Ethereal

I put it on my sorc this afternoon, and the attack speed is wicked. CB didn't feel slow with 110% off-weapon IAS, but this certainly feels fast!

And then, I got around to upgrading and socketing this:
Code:
Ribcracker
Stalagmite
Two Hand Damage: 323 - 483
Durability: 16 of 130
Required Level: 56
Required Strength: 63
Required Dexterity: 35
Fingerprint: 0xc583cd9e
Item Level: 87
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+70% Increased Attack Speed
+50% Faster Hit Recovery
291% Enhanced Damage
Adds 30 - 65 Damage
50% Chance of Crushing Blow
+100% Enhanced Defense
+100 Defense
+15 to Dexterity
Required Level +7
+100 Maximum Durability
1 Sockets (1 used)
Socketed: Shael Rune

There is something sexy about upgraded uniques.

I've never played multiplayer, but there certainly does seem to be an interesting economy there when I read over old threads. One that comes to mind was a post I saw by a guy who had rerolled a Breath of the Dying 6 times and couldn't figure out why the roll didn't go up every time. Another was a guy who had an Enigma and Dream helm on his merc. :)

Sounds about right.
 
Hello dear forummates!
I restarted playing 3 weeks ago, because I was bored out of my mind, staying home. I've learned a lot from these forums since then, so I came to participate. Levelled a blizzsorc up to lvl90 and a travbarb, currently at lvl88. Did the usual Mephisto-Andariel-Ancient Tunnels mf route with the sorc, got some nice starting gear (respeccing twice in the long haul, Meteorb vs Blizz was a hard debate, now settled for Blizzard). One annoying thing: took me a weak to find a plain Monarch for Spirit RW. Another two days to roll a 35fcr one. :( In the mean time I read the Travincal running WW barb guide on the forums, which immediately shifted my focus towards Travincal. High runes, here I come. My barb, Zuzo was born, he got all my attention. Made him some nice Oath swords, equipped him nicely. For 2 days now he is running /p3 Travincal quite succesfully. Here are some of my noteable finds. Hopefully I can update them regularly. :)

This one was a huge suprise from Hell Andariel:

My barbarian's merc loves this helmet:

Travincal at it's finest:
 
Welcome back bodry and congrats on the runes in Trav! I've been running /p3 council today too, highest rune today is Dol. Oh well. I did find another dracul's grasp and some decent small charms (best was 6cr, 6mf).

Edit: nm, found a Pul =)

A good and then bad start of the day.

Required Level: 67
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 99

Socketed (1: 0 used)

I shopped the shield I wanted but then Larzuk f*cked it up (he can give up to 3os in these magical shields).
 
The more things change...

Yeah, I haven't been around for months. I've no idea why - I just started playing a little bit here and there again, just for old time's sake ;)

Found Griswold's Helm from an Ancient Tunnels run, and as I was getting the Staff of Kings I also found a random Gul Rune from one of the chests in the third level of the Maggot Lair.

Life's good - how's everyone doing ;) ?
 
Sunsetvista: do you use magic find gear on your trav runner? I see a lot of blue/yellow elite gloves, but no Draculs for me. Congrats on the Pul, keep on running. One day we will all use Griefs and Enigmas. :]

Spelling your name like that makes you a true P§ÝÇHÕ. ;) And welcome back!

With the 1.13 patch i thought the day had already come that everyone uses griefs and enigmas.
 
That's a cool shield, Nulio. A pity about the sockets. I'm always surprised when people post crazy items they've shopped from vendors. I guess I need to read up on my prefixes / affixes!

Grief, yes; Enigma, no. :)

Thanks! You too!

Hmm, let me check. GoMule shows just 21 mf right now, 20 on Gheeds Charm and another 1 on a different charm. I thought it was more! He's mostly a gold finding barb wielding Grief/Oath with double Heartcarvers on switch for 50% hork, working towards 2nd Grief and Enigma.

I'm doing without any additional mf too. Base magic find rocks! Today's findings:

Looked at my stash, I can cube up to a Lo rune (4 Mal, 2 Ist (1 from HellForge :)), Vex and Ohm). Only one Mal rune needed for Grief. Any ideas on which base item should I choose? I have 5 socketed Phase Blade/Zweihander.
 
ATMA bug a berserker axe. No repair costs either. Better weapon. Less stylish then the phase blade though.

I still don't have an ethereal Berserker Axe to use, however I'm using Oath eth Colossus Sword/Balrog Blade setup now. Phase Blade it is for now. :)
By ATMA bugging, you mean the method, described here? Will it work in 1.13d? Because if it works, I might start running the MOO MOO FARM. :)
