CooterKicker the Assassin has been quietly running LK the last month, she is at 2,000 runs so far.

Her drops so far has been as follows:

Run 230--Sur #1
Run 307--Mal #1
Run 503--Vex #1
Run 514--Sur #2
Run 581--Ber #1
Run 1175--Ist #1
Run 1283--Gul #1
Run 1297--Mal #2
Run 1448--Gul #2
Run 1479--Pul #1
Run 1574--Mal #3
Run 1828--Mal #4
Run 1941--Vex #2
Run 1947--Um #1

A few runes were screenshot. I had quite a few of them that were surrounded by monsters, so it was a tricky to get them which leaves the screenshot an after thought.

CooterKicker the Mosiac Assassin finished up LK with 4,184 runs in total. Made 2 Mosaic Claws, Enigma, Infinity, CtA, and Fortitude. Running so much LK I just stopped the screenshots and wrote down the drops on what run number.

Pul Runes--2096, 2148, 2410, 2509
Um Runes--3842
Mal Runes--2870, 3365, 3985, 4098
Ist Runes--none
Gul Runes--3731
Vex Runes--none
Ohm Runes--2290
Lo Runes--3919, 4184
Sur Runes--3182, 3941
Ber Runes--3269

Once all that was done, it was time to run P8 to finish off as a Guardian. (Bright playstyle, I can only play this character for a little bit before I have to stop due to the brightness)

Amazon Sydney ran Andy, Meph, and key runs to gather up the necessary gear and keysets for Ubers.

2x TERRORIZED Andy drops (HUGE DROPS!!!)

Uber Diablo for the Anni! (15/16/9)

Nice drop from the Summoner during Key runs

Mini-Ubers

Uber Trist!! It took 4 Torches to come away with a 16/14 Zon torch!

 

[Kstil3227]

Sorceress Quiana respec'd into a Hydra/Frozen Orb sorc for Hell. Tele'd through everything in Hell on P1. Stopped for the quests and kept moving on. Got a couple levels through Hell. A few screenshots from Act 5. I had to cheese kill Korlic with Hyrdas, but whatever it takes to make it past Hell ancients.

Baal!!!

6 characters down, 1 left....PS...I hate playing Necromancers....

 

[Kstil3227]

HeavensRain has had some nice drops from 97.4 til 98.3

Mang's Song Lesson #2


Ding 98! 1 more level to go!

Uh oh! (ended up being Templar's #5--2 Offensive skills, 218%ED)

 

[Kstil3227]

DoubleTrouble has only had 1 note worthy drop as of late...

Ding 96!

 

[Kstil3227]

Only screenshots from Riddick...running through Act 5...

Hey, normal down....

 

[drmalawi]

Do you really "need" infinity and enigma and all that to hit 99 with a mosaic-sin? 4k LK runs is like 80 hours gamepla? That is what level 90-99 takes basically.

 

[Luhkoh]

Now that's an update! Awesome work. Cant wait to see more. I'm so jealous of all those fathoms. Still haven't found.

no you don't really "need" all that but it sure makes it a lot easier for mobility with Teleport. Also it makes the build "complete" in my mind. Just like I keep crafting caster amulets, blood rings and gloves in hopes of finding that GG craft to out do all the "typical" unique or rare items for that slot.

I have found 4 Fathom's so far while doing all this, I'll pass you the luck for those now. You'll get one by the end of the year.

Yeah I get that but I would do that after hitting 99 because with 80 hours gameplay in p8 TZ's you "should" get some runes along the way

yes that is true, but doing all those LK runs also gives me a great pool of charms to have to help with resists, life, and mf. Makes playing HC a lot safer too.

 

[drmalawi]

Yeah you will get a higher chance of success Surviving is also time saving

You should get a welding mask when playing mosaic-sin

I'm back at it with D2R! Took a 7 month hiatus by playing POE2 and PD2...each holding my attention for about 3-1/2 months and just got bored...I'll head back to POE2 when new classes get released though. Played a Monk to 95, Amazon? to 85 and a Titan to 50... PD2 was fun and different but having internet issues playing hardcore online is not fun, especially when it costs me 2 characters at levels 95.6 and 96.8. Both were Twister Proc Fury druids using Windhammer and Carrion Wind rings...may look into making a version of one on D2R in the future...So it's back to my SP HC Sept of 99er grinds (each one solo self found, no sharing anything) to completion I started back in January of 2024. Once all characters are 99, I plan on combining all gear and runes found to make another Sept of characters. I already have all character sets completed and planned out to use once this is done...so I might have 2 separate Septs going at one time.

Updating the table with current levels and a few screenshots from the past month, only a few note worthy drops.

EFFING Templar's #6 of my D2R career! If you include LoD I'm up to 12 Unique Sacred Armors...ALL Templar's!! Next one has to it!


As of 7/7/2025
Then 7/8/2025 3,500,188,141 just 20 million exp left!

2nd character is almost done!

Leveling the Double Throw barb is going too slow for my liking, having to run around and not Teleporting. That being said, I may go back to LK and farm for Enigma, re-do some gear choices on swap for BO and Teleport frames... (double HoTo probably) and probably some FCR rings or something.

Javazon Sydney won't be terrible with her kill speed, only issue is the Amazon Tele frames.

Cooterkicker the Mosaic Sin will be a breeze...just have to get the charges up and blast away...will need eye protection though

Quiana the Cold sorceress (was a Hyrda/Frozen Orb Sorc) after using a respec to focus on Hell Meph for gear, then head to LK for inifinity and CtA, then try to game plan for a shot at Ubers...(early thoughts are Runeword with Revives)

Last, and certainly least... Riddick the Bonemancer (I hate necros by the way) will be last and I don't really have a plan yet for him for anything...I'm dreading his time in Hell already.
