Today was a pretty decent day in LK. First hour, I didn't really get anything, but then it started.
What a nice surprise! I really needed that rune before I find Sur/Ber, so I can make a CTA. That's the one runeword for this character that I was really scared of rolling, +1 BO and +6 BO is a huge difference. Scared, I went and took my chance:

PHEW! 4/4/4 is a pretty good roll! So good, that I sighed with relief as I knew this is a CTA that should give me enough life/duration to start properly running CS once I get Enigma. So glad! Although, if I start swimming in Ohms, I'll probably try to roll another one (in a different base), if I could get a +6BO one. But very glad about the roll!
Kept running LK and within an hour of that Ohm, I get Mal and 2x Um. Pretty cool, since I've only found 2 Ums before those two, so it was nice to get few extra in case I want to make Duress/Stone for Merc and possibly socket in Shako/Rare circlet eventually. Ums seem to be quite rare for me. Also found a semi-decent rare jewel, that I'll probably use at some character who needs a slight reduction in required stats:
Managed to get Sur #5 in LK few hours after that Ohm:
Took me pretty much exactly 2 hours to get 3x flawless amethyst, 2x flawless topaz, 1x flawless sapphire to cube up the runes plus finding the Light Plate, managed to get 3os on my 3rd Light Plate, luckily this base was 106def, 1 off from perfect without ED.
No more LK running, at least for now. At the moment, I'm doing a mix of Mephi runs and Grand Vizier/Infector runs. Mephi runs in attempt at finding Shako/Mara's and better Waterwalks, my current one has only 47 life. CS runs to get a level so I can finally update the table. Mephi runs are okay, but the fact that I am keeping all my S/U finds, I need to spend quite a bit of time muling items off, so that's not fun. Hoping to luck out and get a Shako from CS, at this point I've already seen 3 failed sets, it's quite infuriating...
Also having a bit of a headache figuring out my Merc gear. Eth Cryptic Axe Insight and Concentration from me deals enough damage, so I only need a source of leech and then extra def/reduced damage/resists/CBF. I might at some point return to LK to farm another Ber for CoH, but I'm not sure that's the way to increase Merc survivability. Suggestions are more than welcome from anyone
Treachery is always a good budget option, once fade procs his survivability goes way up. I always suggest a Delerium for the helm, as the crowd control from the confuse procs will keep him alive as well. Good luck on the Shako!
98.7 now - I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Quite a few rune highlights in this update - with video too! The highlights were uploaded directly from twitch, so I blame them for the loss in quality. I don't stream much, so I was fortunate to even capture a few of these drops.
Okay, it's definitely about time that I've update my progress...
Ayura has been a busy little boy in pindle. Making some decent progress, finding some decent items, upgrading random rare throwers as he sees fit for the occasion... Made this little bad boy in order to bump up the player setting on pindle without losing too much efficiency in runs

It's got the big thing: damage; but it's missing some of the preferred secondary stats: amp, ias, cold, the like. As I can tell by the color when holding, it rolled with ferocious instead of cruel. Maybe massive, not sure if the hue of yellow is different between the two. Either way, over 300% ED is cool.
It did roll +damage, +damage/ar, and +ar. That is rare enough in itself.
Anywho, I accidentally walked on into nightmare or normal while trying to open in hell .... so I lost my map D:
And that's unfortunate, because I had a decent enough LK map, only one campfire. I had a good countess map, and I also had a fair pit map. All in one. And it is now gone. Tried to end the process, but the new roll had already taken.
I use shortcuts to open difficulty, I accidentally pressed j instead of h, and in instinctively clicking in the direction of intended travel, I pressed on normal or nightmare in the difficulty select before I could correct myself to press h.
I'm mostly running pindle for the so it's not a massive loss; I was done for the foreseeable future in LK, having made my fort. If desperately need to have faith, I'm just sur away, so there's that. I could roll a LK map fast enough should the need arise.
All that said, I was taken aback enough to sideline Ayura. He's earned the rest; should any of you want to hear the man talk, he'll be tossing a few back with Geglash.
Now, with him sidelined, I decided to push a bit further on Gnosis. Gnosis, having been parked at the outer cloister, was chomping at the bit to crush some foes. Having run a few pits at varying difficulties, he decided he had had enough and went forth cruising through at /p8. It was rough going, but he made it to catacombs level 4, and decided to bump it down to /p3 for the demon queen. That was a mistake. Gnosis found her so easy at that level, he thought someone was playing a practical joke. There was no way she went down so easily. But she had. So he picked up his belongings and moved to Lut Gholein. (still wish I could have gotten the quest drop at a higher player setting)
Act 2 was uneventful. I can't even remember which difficulty setting he ran it at. I think I mixed it up frequently. Though I disitinctly remember going through the sewers at /p8 only to get a physical immune radament. And he was either regenning too quickly or he was cold immune too--I couldn't kill him with hurricane, so I had to run that hell again. I bumped it down to /p1 for that, because at that point, I was simply done with act 2.
...this was after killing Duriel, mind you
Act 3, also not particularly interesting, I went through again at varying /p levels. Did that as quickly as I could, because I wanted to get to act 4 in order to run LK as efficiently as I could. I only recently finished running LK on my barb, so I'm already halfway fed up with it. So I finished act 3, and proceeded to roll a LK map. Found one with two camp fires near the wp, which only took a half-hour. After starting to run the new LK map, I started mentally noting his deficits. Not only did he need the enigma, which I'm still running the runes for, but I needed a spirit monarch for him. Relying on enigma's strength bonus, I should make my way to equipping a monarch quite easily.
So with that in mind, I started running some pits as well. I found a mage plate in act 2 or 3, which I cubed 3 sockets into. It had fair enough a defense rating that I was pleased to roll an enigma into it. But while running pits, I found this:
And I didn't even need to roll sockets into it. After some calculations, I found that I would necessarily have to the strength to equip it in order to equip the spirit monarch (a plain monarch being the main reason for which I was running the pits in the first place). After those calculations, I decided to stash the mage plate for another class at another time, should I decide I want it. On top of that, its defense is 2 off perfect, so I'm good with the upgrade over mage plate.
Anywho, I eventually found my monarch, later that day, no less. And I immediately rolled sockets into it. It took longer to find this first monarch than I had anticipated. And I knew going into this endeavor that I would need to find multiple monarchs in order to get the 4 socket roll out of the cube. And I wasn't about to use one of my socket quests on it. I'm saving those for very specific drops--reach goals: eth reapers, rare pelt, and whichever merc helm I end on (I currently have guillame's, which is a very possible endgame helm for my merc, so that's kinda exciting). without further side-tracking, I'm happy to say that I rolled 4 sockets on my first try. My luck with rolling 35% fcr (which unfortunately is what I need to hit 99% fcr with the planned gear that I have acquired) has been lack-luster. I believe my rolls thus far, in order, have been as follows: 31, 25, 25, 34, 30, 25, 33. I had numerous sets of spirit runes when I started, now not so much. And let me say, it's harder to stockpile runes for rerolling when you don't access your extended stash, which I still intend to not do on this guy. I've gotten so far without it, so I'm happy to keep running instead of drawing upon his extended stash, which I'm keeping for the sake of legacy, even though I know I've left several items behind because I'm too lazy to pick some items up. Anyways, I'm running LK with the foremost intent to roll the spirit to 35% fcr, so I don't get discouraged on the Hr front.
Granted, I found these literally in under ten minutes of each other friday night.... checking the timestamps on the screenies, they were 9 minutes and 50 seconds apart.
It came with the 3os. Until I find the rare pelt (should I be so lucky) I can make a delirium out of this baby. I know it's not the best helm, but putting it to use on a druid comes with the benefit of being able to shift out of the bone fetish shape with a simple one point investment into one of either werewolf or werebear.
Once upon a time, back in my early 1.10 days, delirium was a goal runeword of mine. I never made it. Now is my chance to put it to use on a character that isn't terribly set back by the aforementioned shortcoming of bone fetish.
As icing on the cake, falcon masks don't look as bad as rams' heads on the druids. Those things look downright silly...
Though I would have preferred the wolf head
And another side-note, I want to sell it just to see how much a vendor would sell it back to me for, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to afford to buy it back, even with millions of gold stashed.
That's plenty enough writing for now, I'll regale you all with some of h is muled-off finds sometime later. And though he's made some significant progress, I don't feel like updating the table at this time. It's not been too earth-shattering of progress, and I don't anticipate much more leveling until I make that enigma.
@NanoMist That is awesome !!! Congrats on the progress and on the impressive rune finds.
@Zenigma Good progress there. Good luck on the rest of the journey !!!
I'm happy to say that I picked up running CS again in between playing D3. Not much, not even enough to see the xp bar move in my opinion. But then again at level 97, you don't see it moving anymore anyway, you just hope it will at one point ... . Nothing major yet, only Dracul's and Levithian. And one close call, which reminded me that dying almost isn't an option, as I would have a really hard time finding the motivation to continue when that happens.
Still hoping to find more runes, especially after seeing Nanomist's goodies. Then again we might get the impression he found it in a short time span, because he is still at the same level. But who knows how many hours it took him ...
@T72on1 - Great to see you back running! Glad you didn't die, I always find it's the most dangerous right after a break. Hopefully the runes come for you soon, I found most of my runes in the CS, so keep your hopes up!
Yes indeed it was within' the first 40 runs or so. Getting back focus was definitely the issue. Even more so because pace in D3 is completely different, which is always quite dangerous to deal with.
Thanks for the encouraging words. And I'll stop whining about the runes now. I'll just find them instead ... .
AgainstAll is having fun. Went to Hell mode a bit early (70) but had a map with way point next to Rakanishu so ran that till 76 at which point I needed a change of pace so I added the Pit. Yeah, still a little early for the pit power-wise, but anything not LI evaporates and LI tends to not be CI so freeze'em and watch the Merc wack'em with Insight. If LI/CI, strafe with riphook+cleglaw's pincers mean they don't get to move much. . Now sitting at 81, decided I could risk running to LK. killed Duriel last night, so should start LK running today sometime (Harmony + Stealth + 40% boots should let me run pretty fast, freeze/lightning fury anything that gets in the way).
Key finds:
Early in her career she found chances gloves, which means now she has fun stuff like: Atma's Scarab, The Stone of Jordan, String of Ears & Snowclash, and the aforementioned riphook. She is still sporting her Normal reward imbued circlet (+1 amazon, +20 resist all, 16-54 fire damage, +4 dex, +4 max damage). Peace and Cleglaw's Pincers/Chances round out questing mode.
Still hoping to find more runes, especially after seeing Nanomist's goodies. Then again we might get the impression he found it in a short time span, because he is still at the same level. But who knows how many hours it took him ...
Good thing my hours played in that span can be figured out..
As for the rune drops, I did expect to see a couple though. Death sentry kills everything in the screen that isn't an Arach, and I'd say I'm averaging 20-something monster kills per run. That's enough kills to be expecting something with my number of runs. Still incredible to find back to back Chams though.

Mid-week(ish) update on Aura!
As per my previous update, I finally acquired Enigma for Aura. Things really started to roll from there. The plan was to run Mephi until my eyes bleed or until I find Shako/Arachnid Mesh/Mara's.
But that didn't happen. I realised that Aura was pretty low on MF (around 180%), so I did maybe 2 hours worth of Mephi without much useful finds and decided to go back to CS. I am now taking the route "I'll either find those 3 items in CS or I'll never find them".
Off to CS I was again! Decided to reroll my map, since the one with decent Mephi map had the L-shape Grand Vizier, so 75% of the time that pack was missing lot of minions. So, I rerolled to get a pretty good map, also pretty dangerous. I died twice while getting used to the map. So what's the deal? There's minimum of 1 boss pack spawning at Grand Vizier seal, sometimes 2, but very often 3 boss packs. That's 3 boss packs and Grand Vizier's crew! That's pretty great XP, but also makes very dangerous runs if there's Fana/Conv/Might auras present and OK's curses. While that place is dangerous, Infector is slightly easier, there's occasionally one additional boss pack there, but more often not. So, the best runs are Grand Vizier + Infector + 4 boss packs. All around 1 minute.
Which brings us to my current run times. So far my run times seem to average around 55-57 seconds while playing /p8, but that's without muling items off to GoMule stashes, so 1 minute per run is pretty accurate. I've not been looking at my gained XP per run (or per hour) yet, but I think the few runs I've kinda kept an eye on it, I've gotten 750k per run. Now at lvl94, I'm roughly 190m from lvl95, which would mean that I'd need ~250 runs (or ~4hours plus some) to level up again. Not too bad, but this is still child's play when it comes to last level.
My finds? Glad you asked! It's not all Nanomisted out there, some people really have it rough. For runes, between 92-94, I found 1x Mal and 2x Lem (and additional Um from a poppable at RoF waypoint if I recall). Then again, I haven't run that much yet.

And @T72on1, I thought you were enjoying D3? I kinda need you distracted from D2 for a liiittle bit longer No more running for you!
1 min/run is very very respectable, especially at 75k XP.
When Eleanor was at her CS-running peak (lvl 97) she was cranking out just over 80k/minute, so you're not far off already. With some gear upgrades and practice I wouldn't be surprised if you surpassed her handily! Well done.
I'm still enjoying D3 a lot, no worries . But the call of D2 and particularly this project is strong, so I have also picked up running CS again. It's only half an hour here and 45 minutes there, so nothing major. You'll probably still catch up on me, but I'm not giving it away for free .
For reference: I'm currently sitting at some 3.003M xp, so that is roughly 15% from 97 to 98. Not sure how long that took me, I should check when I'm home and have my notes. I think something like 10 - 11 hours. Quite some time to go before I hit 89 ... I'm doing roughly 1 run in a minute, muling included. I currently have the L-shaped Grand Vizier, because I find that one a lot easier to run, but indeed that one misses some minions from time to time, so I might be better off to change to the other layout. Not sure if there's other things to look for in a good CS map?
Are you done with LK now, or is there more you're looking to farm?
