The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, Revenge of the 99ers

Mercy is another 10th of the way there. Not much to say (other than, another 4 of these :eek: ?!!). Finds were a little disappointing, at least on the rune front: only Vex #3 and Gul #2 (within 2 hours of each other, actually).

Items were a bit better, with another Wisp Projector, a Cold Skiller with +damage, Mahim amulet (finally – grailer for her), Tal’s plate, Giant Skull, Harpoonists w +6 dext, Widowmaker, her second Stormlash, Boneshade and her second Arachnid’s.

Two NDEs, back-to-back under 1000 HP with an S&E, but otherwise uneventful. She’s hoping for something Ber or higher in the next tenth to get back on track (or at least get within shouting distance of @NanoMist's runehaul).

Issues? You not participating of course ;).

Other than that the RFL has slowed progress somewhat for some of us, but now that that is over, we don't have that excuse anymore :rolleyes:. @PhineasB just took over from @Neksja on the way from 98 to 99, so that's definitely big news. I expect Neksja will pop in here any time now though, to show us all who's the boss ...

Next to that, biggest news probably is that @Pb_pal entered again, this time with a HC to-be Beardin. If it was someone else, we'd say he's absolutely crazy, but given the fact it's Pb_pal we are talking about, we call it courage and dedication.

O yes, and @Gripphon also entered, pretending he doesn't actually do it to reach 99, but just to test things out. Sounds familiar, no?
 
ok, coming back in on this one... I managed to keep all my data except number of deaths/hours, gonna assume deaths stayed the same and I'm not counting hours anymore.

So, I haven't played d2 in a while, but I have played a lot of d3. There are so many cool parts of d2 that I wish could make it into d3 in some form. Runes/runewords, higher variance on item stats (and more interesting legendary ones), blood hawks... just kidding, blood hawks are awful. As a bonus, you can actually buy occasionally useful stuff from the earlier vendors.

I know who you are, Gheed. Your daughter scams the hell out of me in the future.

I bought some 'heavy' boots from Gheed and moved on. All I knew I wanted to do with this character was kick things. A lot of things. But why? The reason is: I don't actually know how to play d2 properly. That level 85 necromancer I have on the leaderboard? Highest level I've ever gotten on any character, and the third character I've actually beaten the game with. I don't even know how I got an Amazon to hell, but that's another story. Charging up a massive kick of death is strangely satisfying, as is dealing 100 damage in one attack before I've even finished the second quest.

With that mentality, I went to kick Blood Raven's... self. Unfortunately, I missed the first few attacks and some of her skeletons got flung into act 2 as a result. More on that another time.

Let me help you with that 'army of the dead'. Pretty sure they shouldn't be moving, for starters.


Seeking Cain and probably an awful ring, I journeyed into the underground passage, which looked suspiciously like the Den of Evil except with carvers. Similarly, there wasn't anything interesting here wait a minute what?

View attachment 5205
I guess this means I have to take off the Demon Suit I found in the Den of Evil. Undressing near dead rogues is so embarrassing.

After stalking down the great beast Treehead Woodfist, finding the waypoint that is for some reason never next to the tree, realizing that I forgot to pick up the scroll I was looking for, and double-checking my inventory, I returned to Akara. She quickly deciphered the scroll, then totally ruined any major historical value it might have had by writing on it. Akara pls.

View attachment 5206
I ended up walking up to the stones and tapping them at random until lightning bolts were shooting everywhere.

I rescued Cain, who immediately made the tome of identity + scrolls I had spent 2000 gold on obsolete. ...Thanks?

Currently somewhere around level 13.

I also took my amazon out for a spin, because I was having trouble believing that I had actually gotten to act 3 hell with an Amazon. I'm really bad at amazon. Turns out I went all-in on lightning damage.

How am I supposed to kill this guy?

The council is going to be very interesting with this character...

Updated the table in my previous post.

I also have a question: Where am I supposed to run with a Bonemancer since I beat Hell? IIRC I was doing shenk the overseer + baal on /players 3 and it was working out OK but not great.

He wishes there were more aspects of D2 that made it into D3... that sure sounds like he's wishing D3 more closely resembled D2 to me
 
I am still baffled how certain aspects of D2 never made in into D3. At this point I look back at the time leading up to D3 and it's launch, and even back to 2008 when the Gameplay video of JW playing the Barb was released and wonder WTF happened. At least I know there are people out there like me that really love D2, and we are still able to enjoy it, whatever version you prefer.
 
Upon further review, here are the facts and probable events:
  • Cruise_Control (Necromancer) may not ever get level 99 unless I change his build, which is currently a home-brewish bonemancer. Leveling is kinda slow already.
  • Verisimilitude (Amazon) is somewhat more likely to get level 99 just because the damage output is quite a bit higher so far. Lightning immune is sort of a problem, though. I'm stuck at the council members. The build is a cookie-cutter lightning javelin one.
  • But_Why (Assassin) is level 20 so who knows. The build is a kicksin, although I'm not sure how it will work yet.
  • This (or any update) might be my last update ever, and it certainly will be the last update for a while. For some reason, diablo 2 takes 25+ attempts to successfully open on my computer, with failures either showing an error report or stalling indefinitely, and I'm never sure that it will actually open eventually. I'll be leaving the game open indefinitely, but eventually I'm going to have to restart my computer... I also have an avalanche of exams incoming in the next week so I won't be playing too much if at all.
Cruise_Control decided to journey to Mount Diablo to get rid of the One Rune, preferably by finding a Ber to accompany it inside an Enigma armor.

I have no idea how I actually managed to find one of these but there's no way in hell I'm letting go of it. It's my precious.

After checking out a few areas, I decided to run diablo until I leveled up. That would take about 12 clears on /players 1 which felt reasonable at the time. However, unexpected obstacles, also known as Lord De Seis, decided to monkey around with me. He was solely responsible for the last of my 3 deaths at level 85, the other two resulting from me forgetting how my character worked (it's been a while), and the mage proved to be extremely irritating to have to deal with over, and over, and over.

View attachment 5225
How many of Lord De Seis' minions are hiding behind that wall? The answer is ALL OF THEM.

Somehow, I failed to find anything noteworthy in 12 diablo runs. I had 0 upgrades and 2 side-grades to my gear (belt and boots switched for roughly equivalent ones with more defense), but nothing I was looking for. Regardless, I made level 86.

Other than a Ber rune, the other item I'm specifically looking for is the Shako.

View attachment 5227
No, not this Shako.

After the last CS clear leveled me up, I tried checking out Nihlathak and the River of Flame super chests. The latter was kinda exciting, but about 30-40 /players 8 runs yielded 0 unique/set items and one Fal rune. Nihlathak dropped a magic item and some gold.

Probably bad luck, but... meh. Was expecting more. Maybe I'll give lower karast another shot, but I think Ber runes are even less likely to drop there? The travel time is probably about the same or better given that I can't teleport, and I have to kill enemies in the RoF path fairly often.

Meanwhile, But_Why finished up act 1 on /players 8. She will be playing /players 1 for the foreseeable future, however. Players 8 was particularly tough in The Jail and barracks, where the locals were at their least friendly.

I didn't believe Mr. Smith at first, but after noticing he was Extra Strong I decided he probably could make weapons from my bones.

View attachment 5229
For the last time, I don't want to join your stupid clan!

I picked up a Death's Guard sash in the Catacombs. Then, 2 minutes later I found a SECOND one. So much for /players 8 helping me get my gear going.

Those and the Arctic Furs are the only S/U items I've found so far on my assassin, but hopefully act 2 will be better. (Spoiler alert: so far, it's not).

You won't get to 99 with a pure kicker, but a hybrid with traps should be fine. You are still going to need Infinity, Enigma and a Stormlash or another decent Crushing Blow weapon.
 
I was already going down the traps (death sentry) path, I'll keep those items in mind. I can't get infinity because it's ladder only and I'm on single player, though...
 
You can download the RWM to get ladder runewords in single player.

Hybrid sins are the best. You won't depend on infinity quite as much. My hybrid is lv 90 and does fine on players 7. Since you can't twink though, doing lk runs and mephisto is a good start. Remember to get nature's peace if you farm nihlathak.
 
I tried downloading RWM last summer IIRC, but I couldn't get it to work. I guess if I get far enough that I have the runes for Infinity I can try again.

Would it prevent me from playing on realms or open battlenet, out of curiosity?
