2018 Spring RFL Sign-Up and Running Thread: 2nd Round

[T72on1]

I am both horrified and intrigued.

Agreed. Either someone did find a Zod from Council, or my prediction of a 100+ score was right. Or both ...

 

[pharphis]

I will allow for deducting all points from my score if you at least give me some recuperation points afterwards.

I thought Zod was impossible, but I am just a n00b what do I know

 

[pharphis]

I got a zod during the council round

I got a zod during the council round

yeah, me too, from a horror mage in AT

 

[Kitteh1]

Is anybody else running somewhere really inefficient for round three?

I was doing going to do Shenk, but I might go further and run somewhere that I've simply never farmed before...

It was impossible up till now, but patch 1.15 changed almost everything we know about the game !!

 

[PhineasB1]

Yep, @pharphis almost surely found best non-qualifier this round

I'm sensing a crazy-good 1.07 rune drop, based on comment by @Grape

are you still playing that old patch? I am at 1.19 dude! here the HF quest always gives a Zod and one of Ber, Jah or Cham HF running is viable once again!

Spoiler

FYI - My score could not be calculated..

 

[maxicek]

I could just ban everyone who hasn’t submitted a score yet.

I wondered how long you would last

I’m undecided. Baal Minions with a trapper, CS with hammerdin, ZPindle and AT are all possibilities. Maybe The Pit too.

I'm contractually obligated to run RoF

 

[maxicek]

Are we allowed to hit RoF chests? Or Abaddon runs?

We need the round three thread up for theory crafting.

 

[drmalawi]

Indeed @maxicek we do! I am inclined to run chaos with light sorc and pits with trapsin, both at p5. I know it will be hard for me NOT to kill Diablo if I run chaos and thus waste 10 sec or so/run...

 

[Grape1]

I won't allow superchests (those with 65k drop patterns). Sure you can hit them, but drops won't count. Maybe allow others for "science"? I think it could be worth figuring out if hitting some other objects from area(s) x is worth it against killing monsters.

But LK and RoF superchests have known patterns (RoF still misses maybe some, no?), and their drops don't match the scoring at all.

 

[maxicek]

I would be inclined to only allow monster kill drops. I dare say the A5 chests may get some interest after the RFL is over.

RoF chests have been almost completely 'datamined', but less verified in game. I'm not sure if their drop chances deviate from the actual odds. They certainly don't deviate as much as LK. There is one Cham, 1 Jah, 3 Bers, 4 Surs...(whole sheet of mined patterns can be found here). Would be interesting to see how far off they are from scoring.

 

[drmalawi]

I agree with @maxicek just to keep things simple, monster kills only.
