Wringheim was punished for being twinked while he was tested. Gandalf, the level 24 untwinked Zealot, will be more wary!

I managed to recover my HC HoZ from a GoMule back-up, so no need for another. Trading thread closed :).

There's a bittersweet ending to this tale! I managed to get the HoZ back following Maxicek's instructions! But unfortunately l killed my paladin, losing a Grief in the process haha. Luckily the HoZ was not lost. Thanks everyone for the help :)

Thanks Maxicek, I'll give that a go. And thank you for the offer of a SC HoZ! Very kind of you. :)

I did, but they seem to be empty stashes. I'm not sure why.

I'm glad the bug could be reproduced. I'll try to find silospen and let them know. I've posted in trade for a HoZ to replace this one. How annoying! But these things happen.

A GoMule bug accidentally deleted a Herald of Zakarum that I had found moments before (see here). Now I'm ISO a 1.14d HC non-eth HoZ. I don't know if the trade values thread is up to date, so please let me know what you consider a reasonable trade. I have pgems and runes, but nothing of...

Great suggestion about Pindle's skellies, I did not know I could steal those! Thanks for the tip. And insight IG is a good idea too, although I find it often dies, and I don't have a completely unlimited source of runes. Thanks Maltatai. You're right, Billy has a heap of unused skillpoints. I'm...

Billy the Snake (A hardcore, single-pass, no extended stash journey) The Name I was on a nightshift when an elderly patient shuffled out of her room. She pointed her finger at me and said "I'll get you! I'll get you for what you did to me Billy, you snake!" My name is not Billy. I thought it...

I killed Baal today and he dropped a normal Herald of Zakarum, my very first! I saved and exited, then immediately opened GoMule and put the shield on my Paladin. I opened D2 and started the Paladin, only to realise that he was wielding a two handed weapon and the HoZ was completely gone! I...

Good points Dave! Had I mustered more enthusiasm for the character in the latter stages, I'm sure I would've thought of better arrangement of gear, but he made it through anyway... Switched over to Hammerdin. They are good. What a surprise :P.

Paladin Wringheim (A hardcore semi-solo, semi-twinked, journey) The Name There is an author who writes about the benefits of idleness, whose work I quite like. His name is Wringham. My brother and I were joking that he may have an efficient, far-too-serious, German cousin called Wringheim. I...

I hadn't thought the drop chances on essences were so low that you really needed to worry about re-speccing for it to farm them? Certainly it'll be slow going with that spec, but not impossible. And you only need one of each to start with :)

Thanks for your reply Maltatai! I think this was the most important bit for me! It's easy to get caught up thinking about which skill would be 'best' and ignore what I actually want to do with a character. I'm thinking at the moment a maxed static field and blizz combo would be cool. Whether I...

Thanks for the advice Maltatai! I might have to look into this Archmage build. Was there a particular trio of skills you found most fun? Thanks DaveW :). It felt less exciting than my recent barb having been twinked, but it's still cool. The next sorc is on her way though, and she will be...

Otterbot (A hardcore, twinked, journey) The Name When I was a kid playing D2 on b.net and having no idea what I was doing, I always loved leveling up with an Enchant bot around. I also like otters (the animal). Thus Otterbot was born. There's nothing complicated about my naming schemes! The...

This is great info, thank you! I will have to give him a try. Metalgrid would be especially neat, I'd like to roll some iron golems on non-necro characters. Unfortunately all my characters are still fairly 'poor', and my rune wealth is especially low, so he might not be the right boss to murder...

Why does Duriel only ever seem to drop crap? Act 2 is my favourite and I'd love to be able to farm Duriel if I so choose, but I know he's no good.

Thanks D2DC. I'll definitely do another when I have time. Lovely feedback, thank you :). I'm glad you are feeling inspired! iPDR is cool, but I think a 'full' iPDR set-up may be too limiting in some ways. Compare a perfect iPDR armour (Jewelers whatever of Life Everlasting with 4x Sols) with...

Hideous because you don't like the new character model? I watched through the gameplay vid you posted and thought the graphics looked pretty snazzy. I have to say, though, I really don't understand the decision to make all the characters look different. They were extremely faithful to the...
