[2016] The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread [by Kitteh]

darkstarhub said:
I did some retooling last night. THe RNG gods have been stingy with Arachnids and I am tired of waiting. Plus, I need more DPS to efficiently do Vizier/Infector runs at higher players settings. My defenses also needed a shot in the arm. I made another Hoto in hopes of getting a better @res roll. It rolled 31 @res which is the same as the one I already have.

The SoVM was traded in for a CoH which helped in several places, most notably @res and of course an additional plus skill along with dmg reduction. The loss of 30% FCR from SoVM had to be made up for to stay at 105% so I switched Chanceguards for Magefist. I needed some fire Res to get maxed resists across the board so one ring was switched for a nice 10% FCR ring with fire Res, and Str, and the other ring for a BKWB. Keeping my 13% Dungos isn’t so bad since along with Shako and CoH it gives me 31% DR, and another source of FHR to get me over the 60% BP without wasting a charm slot on it.

At first I added 6 cold skillers(been lucky in this dept) and Gheeds with the Cube and an assortment of 7% MF charms. The inventory was full and I don’t like that setup. I want to be able to pick stuff up without opening the character screen to put the items in the cube. I used to run like that but having open inventory is just too nice. I may go with full inventory strictly for Seal runs since it might actually keep me from picking things up unless they are really worth it. The added power to Frozen Orb was very noticeable.

Once I respec my life pool will increase since several pieces have added Str which lets me put more points in Vit. One thing I keep going back and forth on is how much Cold Mastery I need. I want to keep a strong Fireball for sure so there is a balance to find. At the very minimum I want -100 Cold Res for CM and maxed Ice Bolt for FO synergy. The only negative out of all this is losing MF. I am still considering switching from Ist’ed Shako to cold faceted Nightwings, but that’s a tough one. As it stands I have 271 MF which is not bad.

However, the grind started out bumpy AF. After her nasty Delirium bug/crash resulting in the loss of 29m XP, I was very eager to gain back the lost XP and honestly didn't play particularly well at all for a while... Moreover, right when I got back to being comfortable, this freak incident happened:

9_Freak Death.png

Upon landing she immediately got sandwiched by those charger dudes and didn't stand a chance. No drop in life was visible - just instant death. I recovered the body, but it wasn't the last unfortunate experience. In what can only be described as tilting big time, I let her die again some 15 minutes later - and this time it was pure stupidity (walking around in poison clouds while amped.. oh well). Again I applied myself and recovered the body though. I was really glad to have kept a comprehensive recovery kit in stash. :) So in the end these incidents "only" meant some ~4 hours of running lost, thanks to her steady and fast XP gain -- I took it a bit easier recently but still between 3.8m and 4m per hour so I'm happy with that!

However, in particular the first death freaked me out because flying in, that actually didn't appear to be a dangerous situation - no vipers, no witches. Well, I didn't notice Nihl rolled the aura and had honestly been pushing too hard in an effort to make up for the XP loss caused by the Delirium crash. Playing for too long at a time even though concentration decreased noticeably sometimes. But still I wondered how it could have been avoided even with full concentration. Well, I finally realized that I shouldn't just "be ready" to S&E once entering Hall of Vaught, but actually have my finger resting on ESC when teleporting to Nihl. Before that I was just like "mentally" but not "physically" ready. Probably everybody else here of course does this all the time and I felt really stupid for not doing that before :) but for future Nihl runners - this would be my biggest recommendation to get used to. Afterwards for the following ~60m XP until now, there have been no worrying situations whatsoever -- even teleporting into the nastiest packs and aura rolls at Nihl's platform resulted in S&Es before life even dropped.

Other adjustments included dropping WT and swapping in Aldur's again for some extra ~160 life. Though I am considering switching back now that I'm rather confident I'll be ready to S&E (or at least to an extent where the extra life probably doesn't make any difference). I also opted to also cast Frozen Armor as well for extra defense for the last 30m or so. I calculated this to result in some 15% higher effective HP which is helpful against those ranged mobs down there. Not sure whether I'll keep doing this but for now that's how I roll. :)

Anyway, drops!

Previously posted this Cham but I guess it belongs in this update as well:

Perfect +CD NWV seems handy :) it's her 4th one, with another one (+10% CD) also dropping during this stretch.

Finding this facet seriously made me consider Hel'ing out the 5/5 in my Griffon's for a Sol while running Nihl for more safety, thinking I could use this one later. Decided against that, as it's obviously stupid on second thought :) good lightning facets are always useful so I was pretty happy about this.

Couple of grailers for her:

Great rolls on this one:
9_Steelshade.png

Another Steel Shade dropped that I left on the floor because of a nasty spawn down there. Regretted that a little bit for the off chance it could have been eth but whatever. :)

I don't have a dedicated Trav gold finding Barb, but in case I ever feel the urge this will come in handy!

Other drops included Mal and Ist and since she had plenty of runes, and every CtA is useful for some other chars, I decided to roll CtA number 6, trying to get 6 BO, which didn't happen of course:
10_CTA #6.png

Apart from the above, a handful of Pul and Um on the runes front.

Oh and she surprisingly found plenty of potentially suitable Infinity/Insight bases all of a sudden:
3 eth Threshers and 1 eth Giant Thresher -- guess what, none of them got 4 sockets in cube. Oh my... :mad:

So, despite those mishaps early on, I like how things are going now. She had to learn a few things the hard way, but runs are very smooth now and I'm optimistic going forward. :)

EDIT: Forgot to update the table again ;)

Well, I didn't notice Nihl rolled the aura and had honestly been pushing too hard in an effort to make up for the XP loss caused by the Delirium crash. Playing for too long at a time even though concentration decreased noticeably sometimes. But still I wondered how it could have been avoided even with full concentration. Well, I finally realized that I shouldn't just "be ready" to S&E once entering Hall of Vaught, but actually have my finger resting on ESC when teleporting to Nihl.
I will include this in the 99er compendium. It's definitely a good idea for Nihl runs but, as you said, something that isn't necessarily obvious. I actually did it for CS runs with Hiatus too, and it saved her a nasty death during 97-98.

Also, congrats on the progress and for overcoming those mishaps!

I think the point about playing too long at a time is also an important one. That's why I rarely played more than 30 minutes straight without at least getting up from my desk for a bit (that, and at least trying to somewhat salvage my posture :rolleyes:).

Yeah maybe that's a good addition to the tips and tricks section. :) I also imposed a similar threshold on her as I decided not to run for more than 2m XP at a time which is probably a tiny bit longer unless I run at super high efficiency, but 30 minutes is probably a good benchmark unless you're absolutely wide awake. ;)

On a side not regarding fast S&E, I even took a screenshot of a particularly nasty situation that I'm not sure I would have survived before I got used to being ready to hit ESC immediately:

At first sight it may not be that obvious but that's Might on Nihl, landing in the middle of Vipers and Witches in the second row on either side.

Situations like that occur rarely, maybe 3-4 times since I started running, but from when I first started to run Nihl I quickly learned that something like this could mean death within 0.5 seconds or so. Here at least it was S&E at full health.

I don't teleport with finger above esc. Left hand is always holding down alt. Those chargers can hit hard though. Maybe I just have been lucky so far.

You can do both with thumb on alt and finger hovering over esc. But it definitely causes strain, and I actually stopped holding alt to ensure I could have ready S&E.

I hold down alt when going through Halls of Pain (thanks again for the tip, that really avoids danger there), but I let go of it in Halls of Vaught because there are no poppables in her path there, so I don't have to do too complicated finger exercises. :) It still took me some time to get used to this "almost hitting" ESC. Feels weird at first as you normally don't do that. Won't ever go back though, and it’s not too bothering actually once used to it. Her routine is pretty simple in HoV: Tele to platform with ESC ready, Static Field, shift click Lightning to focus down Nihl (not holding ESC during that), followed by alt to check drops and S&E.

I do believe she is squishier than Neverland so some situations might be scarier for her than for you @T72on1. She doesn't use Shako and no Sol either because I didn’t want to Hel out the 5/5 in Griffon's. That means considerably less life and DR; her only DR is 8% from CoH and 11 iDR from Nature’s Peace (luckily at least she got a perfect roll on that). It's enough, but I have to be more careful than others -- quite obviously. ;)

All these Nihl running horror stories are starting to scare me. As bad as I want to do the whole ride to 99 with FO/FB, running Nihl might be too tedious with that build. If I can find a Griffons and a few more Bers for Infinity a lightning build will work, but it would be fun to drop a fat Meteor on his ass with a fire build.

I did manage to get my stat and skill points allocated how I want for now. I am finally going with a 2x4 empty space and tome of identify(no cube) along with 6 cold skillers and the rest 7% MF charms. A properly aimed FO is hitting like a truck and FB is strong enough to kill OK’s relatively quick. I also still have a respectable 249% MF, but at some point I would love to try a faceted Nightwings. Shako is so hard to give up though.
ffs said:
@darkstarhub Don't be discouraged on my account :) As I said my Sorc is somewhat squishier than other chars due to her gearing choices, also I have a tendency to push characters really a bit too hard sometimes which doesn't help either when starting out never having done Nihl runs before. ;) But others here have managed 98-99 with 0 to 2 deaths total. So while it can get really ugly down there, he can definitely be run reasonably safely (in SC terms) once you get the hang of it.

After making a few adjustments the last ~60m XP until now were perfectly safe for me as well despite not being that tanky.

I think FB/FO works well for Nihl, @T72on1 ran with that before his recent respec to pure fire just due to not using FO that much IIRC. @Grape is also running Nihl for 98-99 with pure fire Sorc I believe. Infinity is required in any case though I'd say, so you might pay LK a few more visits at some point. ;)

Viridiana is currently only in Normal act I, but I think that I will go for phoenix strike instead. It won't be as efficient as trapsin, but with a good map and DF, it should be fine :p I think it is good to have a variety of builds in the tournament!

After a bit of a break, Phaedrus is back running again, picking up some millions of XP in CS over the last couple days. I still plan to take things slow with limited sessions for now.

But the real news is that I missed having two active runners :). So meet Pestilence, a necro who is currently in A1 H at level 70. I actually started him back in November, and he was part way through A2 Normal when Hiatus finished her journey.

The nice thing about necros is that they can basically be played without hotkeys early on. So I sort of tooled along with him while watching sports through the New Year.

Normal. He quested through with only the necessary quests, completing A1 and A2 normal on p7, p1 for jungle areas of A3, and then p5 for the rest of Normal. He tried to build up MF, but with limited success due to streamlined approach. Nicest drop was actually Countess, as it allowed Merc to up her damage. Fun little action shot from Diablo:
Normal Diablo.jpg

Nightmare. The transition to NM wasn’t too hard, despite very limited gear (gotta love necros). But he completed everything on p1. His first Amn dropped in A1 NM (I think), becoming Edge for gambling; first Sol dropped in A3 NM; followed by first Shael from NM HF. He had just found his first 2os necro head with +skills (+1 summon resist and IG) in City of Damned, so the Shael allowed Rhyme. He took out Diablo on New Years.

We’ve done 15-20 minute sessions on-and-off since New Year’s, eventually questing through to take down Baal. The first 4os sword dropped in NM WSK, so the second Amn became a spirit. He made Champion (I think at level 56 or 57), and then rolled a good Meph map and mixed in Meph runs with levelling on Pindle until reaching 70.

Besides the early runes noted above, finds of note were a 13@ GC in A2 NM, Nagelring as the first unique ring in NM CS, a Prismatic Amulet gamble while leveling at Pindle that will be useful for early Hell, and SoVM from Meph run, which turned out to be 35@ and the only useful drop besides Rockstopper. A Lum also dropped from Pindle, which allowed Smoke for the merc to get ready for Hell.

Here was a tricky spot in A1 (these two bosses were next to each other in the Cathedral:
NM A1 Boss.jpg
NM A1 Boss 2.jpg

Hell. Pestilence just got the last 5 pindle runs needed for 70 and then completed Hell Den of Evil and tagged the Cold Plains WP.

Current Gear. Merc has maxed resists, and Pestilence is maxed or nearly-maxed in Hell. No 4os exceptional polearm (one failed cube recipe of a partizan), and only the one Sol so far. So hopefully the first 4os one will be elite and eth!
Pestilence
Rockstopper
Spirit broad sword
Rhyme necro head
SoVM
Sigon’s belt
Rare gloves with MF and resists
Greaves of Chance with LR
Nagel (19%)
Ring of Fortune (21%)

Merc
Duskdeep
Smoke sup mesh armor
Ferocious partizan of readiness

Planned Build and Progress. All three respecs are available. The plan is to get through A3, do some LK runs (and maybe some Meph runs if he finds a good map for both), then continue questing, as a break from LK as necessary, up to Anya quest. He may then mix in some Pits or Pindle runs as a further break from LK, but the goal will be runes for Enigma.

I will probably then respec to poisonmancer (probably with extra skills into golem mastery for a sturdy IG) and level in Pits and see if/when it makes sense to transition to CS. Based on Gripphon’s testing, poison necro should be somewhat faster in CS than Pits. I have no idea for 98-99, but will test some options with another necro. But that is way, way down the road, as he has a lot of LK in his future that it doesn’t make sense to worry about it too much. ;)

Finally, only one death so far: while running through Tamoe Highland in NM to tag the outer cloister WP before quitting for day, he ran into an amp’ed bosspack while ahead of his minions. :\ So he went back to Cold Plains to pick up more skeletons and carefully walked back through Tamoe to take out the boss pack, retrieve the corpse, and get the WP.

Table update is below: he is using extended stash, not bothering to pick up anything that isn’t useful to him or my overall grails, and not keeping track of time.

Good luck.

Very nice @PhineasB and of course completely crazy -- in a good way!

Ric my second entry Nec is also currently grinding for Enigma -- not wanting to start an LK competition but curious to see who'll get it first. ;) He does have a Ber #1 head start but it's unlikely there will be much progress any time soon though. With @T72on1's TC3 tournament going, as well as me being on the other side of the world for a few weeks starting in a month, there are several breaks in running on the horizon, for both Ric and HelpYourself.

That also means HelpYourself's target to hit 99 by end of February/beginning of March is realistically not going to happen (and probably was too ambitious anyway, and thereby maybe even contributed to her mishaps early on). So I've pushed that back to something as vague as "some time in spring" anyway. :) And as for Ric -- tbh not sure he will ever finish, that's really a long term project and going to be much slower progress than with the Sorc I'm sure. I honestly have no idea how you managed 99 with two characters, running late 90s with a third and are still entering new ones... but I'm certainly glad you do! :)

Decided on a new character for this. Ashlyn, an Orb-it-Aller, will be born tonight. I'll update the table tonight after I get some other things done. Looking forward to see how far I make it before she deeds. The only respecs I'll be using are for stat purposes only. She'll play through as an Orb-it-Aller and finish end game as such.

Looking forward to reading through the last couple pages tonight to see progress results. Hope everyone enjoyed the three day weekend!

Start on this almost 2 years after it starts? Of course!!

I'll be rolling my favorite Sin build. Blade Fury Lightning Trapper. That being said, I need a good name.

Welcome to the new entries !!!

Smittyphi, you'll love this.
ffs said:
@Smittyphi Tell me about it. According to my estimate, half of the time of getting to 99 is thinking about a good name.

Something cheesy like SliceNFried.

So I finally managed to pull myself away from Fortnite for a few hours today and finish up 95-96. I don't think I originally intended to finish the last ~150 runs I needed but drops gave me motivation to keep trucking. No deaths for a while now with a few close calls here and there but nothing too bad. Time available to play is still rather limited and like I said, I've been almost exclusively playing Fortnite (give this a try if you haven't, the battle royal component is 100% free) so not even going to try to estimate how long it's going to take before I hit 98 and the real fun begins. Maybe I can finish before next year...

Loving the progress here from others and welcome to the newer posters. Keep it up so I have some kind of outside motivation to keep going! :)

Drops:
That's 3x Cham in <1000 Vizier/Infector runs now, and all 3 of these were within the last ~150 runs of today's session.

Very good progress. Congrats, also on the third (?!) Cham rune.

My kids play Fortnite a lot (like about everyone seems to do nowadays) and absolutely love it. There seems to be some issues with server waiting times lately though. If I feel like playing an FPS, I turn to CS:GO myself. /offtopic

@Yng Nice, all those Chams, if you keep going like that you should consider entering the race for Zod God. :) Go push further, just two more levels to hit the point of no return -- once at 98 you'll simply realize you have no choice but to finish. At least for me that's the case currently. ;)

Alright, SliceNDice is now level 13. I have zero green or gold items and 1 death so far. Who knows if I'll keep up the death count. /players8 can make the early going suspenseful with cold boss packs.

Edit: So do I make a new table, copy all the other details and add my own?

Smittyphi, don't play on /p8 unless you want the challenge. It's better to move fast through the game on a lower setting, then stop at Pindle, hopefully able to crank up the player setting somewhat at that point, and level there. Rinse and repeat in NM.

I HATE using the level 1 skills on the assassin. I never liked the martial arts 'sin and the early level traps are pitiful. I'm just doing it to get to Blade Fury.
Yng said:
Curious as to why we don’t list XP as an exact value for the table?
PhineasB said:
@Yng - I think the idea was that people can add themselves to 99er progress thread, which includes specific XP numbers, while this included additional information relevant to the untwinked journey that is not included in the other thread. And, as I believe @Kitteh has said a few times, I don't think there was ever the expectation that there would be this many entries and still be going strong for this long.
Yng said:
@PhineasB Fair enough. I don't see any reason why we couldn't start as it's a more accurate way of representing "standings", as in who is actually ahead instead of who hit that level first. Perhaps even another seperate table for those who have achieved 99 (similiar to how "The Fallen" is seperate from the standings table) with a note on the date/time of completion?

Just some ideas, I'm slowly getting dragged back into this as my FPS has been disgusting on Fortnite. Planning to get a new computer soon though, which is great for this too considering some areas give me some nasty FPS dips.

Also, curious if anyone on this forum has achieved 99 on a SP HC character?
T72on1 said:
@Yng Not a bad idea.
ioupainmax said:
@Yng agree that some sort of change needs to happen.

Maybe:
A "Hall of Victors" for the people who achieved 99 and the date.
Then a "Questing Heroes" table for active people.
Then "The Fallen".

Or:
Rather than have lots of different tables, instead merge all the tables and include more columns to indicate status.

I'll mock one up.
ioupainmax said:
Turns out the table gets too wide with extra columns and then becomes a pain to maintain.
ffs said:
As far as XP progress goes I think the tables are fine tbh. It's is not really a "who's fastest competition" per se :) so don't really see the need. As @PhineasB said the tables in the general quest for 99 thread contain these if desired, and are usually given for characters in late 90s there (in particular for 98-99). Before late 90s I think the "full level" increment is detailed enough IMO since leveling is still rather fast.

Also many runners here are inactive at the moment so we don't know their current XP.

But I like the idea of slicing the table in two to separate the finished 99ers from current runners as a "hall of fame" type category (similar to the quest for 99 thread).

Something like this? Or are 3 tables too many?

(I like the three tables, but don't care too much either way :))
ioupainmax said:
*NOT OFFICIAL TABLE*

Could do something like this, where I've made the following changes:
  • Added Exp column in Billions (currently blank for most)
  • Added Status column (C = Complete, A = Active, D = Dead, I = Inactive?)
  • Added a 'Date' column in the universal format of YYYY-MM-DD (Enter the date completed, deeded or last updated)
  • Shortened header names
  • Tidied up some of the info (hyphen '-' = not tracking at all, ? = more than one, otherwise an actual number)
  • Standardised Class names (Ama, Sin, Barb, Druid, Necro, Pala, Sorc)
  • Narrowed the column spacing (to enable it to fit in the edit screen). There is now 1 space between most columns.

I know it's a bit cramped and perhaps it is better as 3 tables. In any case, we could use the above streamlined version with more columns AND split it into 3, what do you think?
Kitteh said:
Shut up, has it been two years? Geez! :eek:
T72on1 said:
I like the three table version. The more detailed version of @ioupainmax could be used for the second table.

Edit: and no, it hasn't been two years yet ... but we are getting close. You know it's your fault, don't you ;).
ioupainmax said:
Yeah that's what I was leaning towards. I'll sort that out a bit later.

Any feelings towards table names, so far we have:

Hall of Victors vs. Hall of Fame
Questing Heroes vs. Current Runners
The Fallen
PhineasB said:
I don't think the column for whether complete or not is needed. Just look at the level ;)

Edit: And I don't really see need for XP. It's actually a tad depressing to track it that precisely for 97-98 and 98-99, which is why I generally didn't add my 99ers to other thread until half way through the last level. Using decimals for levels other than 98 would allow more precision if wanted. I have a spreadsheet that shows one-tenth XP increments from 90-99 that I can post here (I planned to include in Tidbits section of 99er compendium also). That said, I don't feel strongly and happy to defer to others. Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. And thanks to those who've taken stabs at mocking up alternate formats -- that's no small task!

Also, @Yng - All of DC's 99ers were hard core plus two more. To my knowledge, there aren't any untwinked 99ers.

Sorry for double post. For some reason I'm not able to embed images when editing :confused:. Anyhow, here is the table.

Is there a way to save PhineasB's above post so I don't have to go looking for it, much later on down the road when I would actually need it?
 
ffs said:
@ioupainmax Cool, I like the tables as they are but getting rid of the horizontal scrolling and your overall clean up is not a bad idea. :) I don't think the XP and Status columns are necessary though.. not sure about date either tbh. Like @PhineasB though I wouldn't mind either way, it's just a table after all. Overall I think 3 tables look better, and as for headings I'm more straight forward (I'm running, not questing :)) hence my heading suggestions. But don't care too much either so whatever others say!

@Smittyphi you can bookmark the direct link to the post number (next to the "Like" button).
Kitteh said:
I think that I will collate various threads/posts and link to them on the front page, so if you want something added then message me and title it 'Untwinked 99er Links' or something, and I will include it.

Edit: And I don't really see need for XP.
Exp/XP was included at Yng's request earlier in the thread, yet to be agreed upon by the active runners, just testing to see what looks/works best.

@PhineasB I think you're missing the point of the 'Status' column in the context of that table format - yes it's redundant for actual 99ers - but it made sense when all 3 tables were consolidated as it showed 'D = Dead' for the fallen and had the optional extra of 'I = Inactive'. In any case, if we go to the 3 table format, which I happen to prefer, that column is then pointless.

ffs said:
I don't think the XP and Status columns are necessary though.. not sure about date either tbh.

Since everyone is pretty much in agreement about the 3 tables being better, the 'Status' column is no longer required*. Exp/XP still needs consensus.

*I would argue that the 'Date' column actually provides more useful information than Status anyway. I'm going to strongly advocate for the 'Date' column for the following reasons:
  1. Enables us to review when the table was last updated for all characters/forumites.
  2. Track when achievements were made.
  3. My plan was to review the thread for each update and also cross reference the last login from that forumite (big task - could take some time if I can be bothered).
  4. Using the above information, we could then decide what to do:
  • Last update > 1 year & Last Login > 6 months = Probably inactive
  • Maybe park the inactive stuff in a 4th table. That way, you have a cleaner, smaller active table to update and maintain.
  • Or leave everything in (because people do return), but at least know what's what!
Kitteh said:
I agree with this fourth table - we don't want the tables clogged up with characters that aren't going to be moving.
Gynli said:
+1 for getting rid of horizontal scrolling
Forum name, Char name, lvl (in decimals), HC/SC is all i really need to know.

+1 for Date and removing inactive entries. Just last update should be fine without the last login.

+1 for 3 tables. Hall of Fame?(Victors?), Runners, and Deeds.

I'm okay with completely removing inactive members - if no update for like a full year. It's not too hard to add yourself back in anyways. Perhaps for the sake of record keeping, a 4th table is better for inactive entries. hm...
ffs said:
Seems all good. :) Maybe put inactive members in a spoiler? Whatever I don't mind, I'll just use whatever the next person's update is using. Unless that's me. :p
Yng said:
Some good ideas here. Nothing wrong with a little change but I’m fine with whatever. Honestly, just listing your XP seems a lot more straightforward than referencing the table to see if you reached a decimal point.

My HC untwinked Barb is 59 and approaching NM Mephisto but I rarely play it over Sophie and the Barb follows the same P8 only ruleset my Druid did.
PhineasB said:
@ioupainmax - You're right, I did miss the point! :oops: I hadn't connected the dots about the Fallen being consolidated when looking it at this am.

I also think it would be cool to pull key links into the opening post as @Kitteh suggests. It would be a handy starting point for new entries and people running alike.

And once I get my act together and finish the compendium, that will also hopefully be a good resource. I intend to link the 91-99 spreadsheet in the final section and other sections already posted in the draft thread have other XP tables (including Nano's excellent one) and Gripphon's testing for leveling.

So @Smittyphi , please take a look there. It would be great to get your feedback because newer entries in untwinked 99er challenge are a prime intended audience.

@ffs you read my mind, that's exactly what I intended to do!
Dezrok said:
Better get Salome out of the garage for another run before she gets deleted off the tables :)
I seem to remember that she only needed a few hundred runs to reach 96.

But seriously, great ideas for tidying the tables up, they were getting a bit unwieldy.

Now I'll go and update the dates.

EDIT 1: For now, I've left in the Exp column until we have a decision either way. Easier to remove than it is to put back. I still need to populate the 'Resting Heroes' but that will take time.

EDIT 2: Dates for Hall of Fame done (please check since the post date may not match the completion date so I just assumed thread/post date = completion date unless it was otherwise stated)

EDIT 3: Even though Exp is redundant in the Hall of Fame table, I've left it in for consistency across all tables so that when you move from one table to another, the columns all line up! (When I say 'move' in this context, I refer to both eye tracking and also when you move your row of data to either Hall of Fame or sadly to The Fallen)

EDIT 4: Dates for The Fallen are done.

EDIT 5: Experience for The Fallen is done.

EDIT 6: Experience for Questing Heroes done.

I'd like to add my HC Sorc to the list as I intend to gradually work her towards 99. Unsure how to add myself to the table though.
@GothamsBeard Check out this post https://www.purediablo.com/forums/t...99-progress-thread-by-kitteh.1178/post-101375

I'm actually working on updating the table, so on this occasion, if you write down the relevant info, I'll add it to the main table. Then once I'm finished with all the updates, everyone can begin using the new tables using the method in my link.

Guys, please be careful when updating the table. I've been reviewing things and certain updates 'disappeared' because somewhere along the way, someone used an older post to quote from and omitted interim updates. Then these omissions have propagated to all subsequent posts.

I've gone back a few pages to fix the more recent cases of this happening and I'll fix anything I find as I go. Luckily I have some helpful software that compares 2 documents, so it wasn't as painful as it could have been.

Thanks a lot !!!

@ioupainmax Looks very nice, thanks! Two suggestions: (1) Not wanting to take anything away from deeded HC runners but maybe also a spoiler for the fallen to make it a bit shorter (as these are also "inactive" in a way)? And (2) in my case at least there is quite some room to the right of the table still, so maybe a little bit of additional spacing between columns is possible so it is less squeezed together? Don't know if that would cause the horizontal scrolling on others' displays though. Again though, happy with it as it is. :)

So @Smittyphi , please take a look there. It would be great to get your feedback because newer entries in untwinked 99er challenge are a prime intended audience.
@PhineasB what feedback are you looking for? General? Or specific to that thread and the conclusions that have been seen posted there? I've been playing this game a while now. I've taken a break for a couple of years but I haven't forgotten that much.

Are you in my brain lol? All good suggestions that was I was thinking about, I'm just updating dates right now, but I agree with all those so I will implement them too.

The only downside is: in the edit window, rows get split over 2 even if they are a single row in the final post. It almost certainly necessitates copying to Notepad for any significant edit.

Going to take a break from adding dates to these tables. Feel free to resume use of them and update etc. Perhaps if I leave them as is, over time, people will update stuff and the other stuff will age out and we can move stuff to the 'Resting Heroes' table bit by bit. It's pretty daunting doing it all by myself.

Going to take a break from adding dates to these tables. Feel free to resume use of them and update etc. Perhaps if I leave them as is, over time, people will update stuff and the other stuff will age out and we can move stuff to the 'Resting Heroes' table bit by bit. It's pretty daunting doing it all by myself.
Honestly, you shouldn't have to. Anyone updating the table with their own personal details can fill in the date by themselves.

Not too significant upgrade for HelpYourself, but I guess doing this is worth mentioning nonetheless:

I believe this is try #10 or #11 of rolling eth Threshers/Giant Threshers:

Guess what, they actually can roll 4 sockets after all... who knew!

Well this seems like a waste of runes for a minor upgrade over her Infinity CV... but hey, it's her runes and she can do with them as she pleases. :) Also with so many twinked chars using Infinity, I thought it doesn't hurt to have another one of these for less switching around in GoMule...

Was mainly hoping for at least 300% ED, and got pretty much no more no less. :)

Because the CV roll was so bad too (almost worst ED roll), it's almost the same damage and thus actually a nice upgrade for her Merc in the end.

@Kitteh nice, though for some reason I get the horizontal scrolling again now? Not the case for others I guess?

Horizontal scrolling?
Gynli said:
Yup I got horizontal scrolling for that last table update by @ioupainmax. Just a very tiny bit though.

Also, i think we can save a column space in the Fallens by removing # of deaths. It's HC deeds afterall.

Thumbs up to whoever though of rhyming Questing and Resting together xD

Great work @ioupainmax with the tables and that’s one beautiful Infinity @ffs
Planning to start another HC Sorc attempt soon with 99 being the primary objective.

Guilty!
Sorry about that guys, due to different screen resolutions, it's tricky to know the point at which this occurs. I was trying to find a nice middle ground between too cramped and horizontal scrolling, but my screen is big, so it still looked ok. I'll modify it now that I know. Out of interest, are you on a laptop/tablet?

I'd like the keep them the same, reason being, when you die on HC from the qusting table, you should just copy and paste to fallen table. Same columns = simple copy paste job with everything lining up and no faffing. See my earlier post (with the masses of edits).

Great work with the table and keep up the nice progress everyone!

Very nice work. Thanks @ioupainmax and others who contributed! It's good to spruce things up every so often. :)

@Smittyphi - substantive feedback is great. But it would be particularly helpful to hear if there are things missing that you think would be helpful, such as anything you are thinking about or planning for that isn't covered. Thanks!

Looking good now! no Horizontal.

For the sake of answering your previous question, I have a dual screen set up on a desktop. One at 1600x900 and the other at 1920x1080; both had horizontal in the previous table.

just fyi, if it's too much work to pick out those who are inactive, I'd be fine with you just dumping everything from the table into Resting, and having current active players add themselves back in w/ the nxt update.

I'm glad you suggested that, that's what I'll do:

@Kitteh did you remove Kaylin?
Kitteh said:
Yes mate, I removed her :) I will have an entry again, I just want it to be on HC with my other characters so that I can play with her shiny stuff.

Great work on the tables !!! Thanks.

I don't like the silence in here so I'll keep the ball rolling. :)

Barely had time to play this last week due to work schedule, and too much going on this weekend as well. As a consequence of that I didn't run with HelpYourself, due to hangovers of any kind not mixing well with Nihl runs. ;) Hope to maybe get a couple of hours of play time with her this week.

However, managed to do some more LK running with Ric the Fishymancer who started to grind LK for Enigma when I last updated him, with a nice early Ber drop to start things off. For some reason, I now got the run counter working on my Mac and timed a couple of runs. He's currently averaging around 33s LK runs with two campfires very close to the WP, but forming sort of a triangle with the WP which I guess is not optimal. Didn't reroll so far since the campfires are so close though. I don't have any experience with running LK without teleport so no idea what to aim for in terms of run speed -- should it be considerably faster than ~33s?

Noteworthy drops:

This one from a poppable was very cool

He also picked up his first handful of life/res SCs, this one being pretty cute

He also found a handful of skillers, three of them for good trees (Light Sorc, War Cries, Traps) but without secondary mods. Other runes that dropped included Mal, Um and 7x Pul -- which is a bit annoying given Pul is barely more common than Sur in LK... But given his quick Ber drop and only some 5-6 hours into LK runs, I'm not complaining... YET. ;)

His first Ohm was naturally put to use quite swiftly:

Apart from that, he's found a good amount of good rares with nice stats for all slots, so once Enigma is done I imagine he should be more or less ready to do some Pits or Andy/Meph farming right away. Those Surs better start dropping! Oh and despite no XP update I added him back to the table. :)

Very well done. Considering you have only done some 6 hours with a non-teleporting character, your drops surely weren't below average. 33 seconds for a non-teleporting character, who also doesn't have skills like BoS or Increased Speed available, sounds like a very good time to me, although I must admit I have never done any LK runs other than with a Sorc. Usually it's worth it to tag the wp again and go to act 4 before starting a run, but for a running character that might be different.

I'm close to finishing on my TC3 character, so after that I'll be back to my 99er. Not sure if that will be immediately after, or if I'll take a break and some something else, either in D2 or in another game, first though. Whatever it is, it won't be for this week, as it too busy to find any playing time.
Ashenshugar said:
Unfortunate that the double axe strategy didn't yield a better roll, though it seems that you have enough runeluck to make up for it.
ffs said:
Definitely above average yield overall, but I'm just really looking for that Enigma first and stuff like Ohm is actually less common than Sur in LK on P7/8. So that's why I'm not too too excited. ;)

I haven't timed runs when going back to A4, I just assumed it's slower on my map, but will check it out now that the run counter finally decided to work. :)
T72on1 said:
Agreed. If it's any consolation, I have hardly found any Surs in my last 3000K LK runs or so I did, if any at all. Gotta love RNG.

@Smittyphi - substantive feedback is great. But it would be particularly helpful to hear if there are things missing that you think would be helpful, such as anything you are thinking about or planning for that isn't covered. Thanks!
Everything seemed just fine in the explanation.

It has gone a bit quiet, I do have stuff to add, I've been working on TC3 tourny and I did spend some time organising the tables rather than actually playing!

I totally don't mind if you want to spend time making things pretty whilst I 'catch up' :p
ioupainmax said:
I think I'm pretty much done with the prettification stuff unless you had any other suggestions for things to improve on? I actually started another untwinked 99er around New Years, but I've yet to add it to the table. Going to work on the write up a bit first. Still got to play Durnik some more, but been distracted lately.

"few"

Had to do a forum search for Durnik to find all the relevant pages.

Yeah sorry about that, was on mobile and couldn't be bothered to find it. The latest posts included links to the whole story so far.

This somehow managed to drop to page 2 and we can't have that, now can we?
I've had the last few days off so I was able to advocate quite a bit of time towards progression.
Still doing some streaming of P8 Vizier/Infector when possible (
) so feel free to stop by and check out my coffee-fueled late night grinding. I'll try to get better about posting here when I'm actually streaming as it's quite inconsistent/completely based on my work schedule and what's going on at home. Getting closer to getting that new setup and I must admit I'm quite excited about the potential for more projects and better run times/less issues with FPS.

Been experimenting with my belt slots/charm combinations and I think I finally have decided on the belt lineup, at least until I'm done with CS and consequently Blizzard. I get charm upgrades fairly often but I don't bother screenshotting a +18 small charm over a +17 for example. I'm currently using a completely full inventory of charms with cube. 4x2 is advocated towards pickups and the other row is mostly used to hold Flawless Amethyst.

This one was sooo close. Great charm nonetheless.

Sup Yng, I went to twitch tv to watch your CS runs. By streaming do you have to be playing for me to watch? Does it not capture the video for users to watch at another time?

Nice to know that, there are a bunch of us in the SPF who film/stream now :) I don't stream personally, just YouTube.

Again, fact: Complaining helps. First one of these dropped for Ric.

Together with his Ber stashed safely in his vault, Enigma is "only" the equivalent of 3 Surs away. So far so good.

Also I guess this is as good a time as any for a proof of life from HelpYourself. Not too much time to play the last 1-2 weeks, but had some 20-30 minutes sessions in the evenings here and there. She is now past the 1/3 mark and at... well, nothing special except for the fact that I like that XP number:

Screen Shot 2018-01-26 at 20.58.03.png

Well yeah, could have put some more effort into it and get 8k XP more, I guess :p

Initially I doubted whether her recent Merc upgrade was worth it, but from the running since then I think it was. Confuse proccing a bit faster sometimes defuses some of those situations that are not clearly immediate S&E, but not super safe either (e.g. something like Nihl Might rolls with "borderline" number of Vipers or Witches around). Rough estimate would be it reduced aborted runs by some 10%. Given she rarely aborts it's not a game changing difference, but I'll take it, as well as the general bit of extra safety. Overall things are going smooth for her still, not getting into any real danger since her last death around 10% into the level.

I'll follow the tradition of more detailed updates every 25%, hope to hit 98.50 around next weekend and share some drops. :)

Don't bother, I've already mugged him. All I got for my troubles was a YMCA card. I don't even know what that is, but I feel offended :p

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to pushing the limit of my skills and trying to remember half-forgotten lore.

Quick question for SPF veterans. I can use ATMA for extended stash in untwinked 99. Does that mean I can bring things back as well? I assume so, but want to stay legit with this group.

One of these days I will figure out how to properly quote people. o_O
Yng said:
@kyndig there’s a clickable at the lower right corner of each post labeled “+Quote” that will select that post and enable it to be added in quote format to your post. Also a simple “@username” would suffice for recent posts (like I did here) but I usually prefer the quote option if I’m referencing something from a while ago.

And moving items off/on the characters is accepted for this so long as it’s items that the character found him/her self. Not sure about Atma (I use Gomule) but just keep your projects related to your 99er separate from everything else.
Personally, I run a 'once it's off it's off' rule, but strictly speaking I believe that the 'untwinked' status typically allows you to use the item on other characters too, so long as you found it on the character.

Ah, ok. I had a grand idea of using Atma for gem and rune storage as I leveled. I have not used it yet, so I am good. I will play that once it is off, it is off. Thanks.

Sorry for double post. Thank you Yng good clarification on both bits. Last question, then I am going questing. How long is the average trip to 99? I mean, I played for two years on weekends when the game first came out and never even got close. As I am an old guy, I have time now, but was just curious.

@kyndig You'll want to use GoMule rather than ATMA, because GoMule has superior filtering/searching ability as well as faster muling with 'Pick From...' and 'Drop To...' buttons with drop down choices. So when you have an in-game stash full of gems, runes and items that you want to dump into a GoMule stash, just select 'Pick From...' 'Stash' - which will pick up everything from the in-game stash and hold it on the clipboard, then click inside your GoMule stash (i.e. 'Itamz') and then click 'Drop All'. This way, you can move a stash full of gems in a few clicks rather than getting RSI like you would in ATMA.

For my 99er, I use GoMule as an extended stash, so I mule off items and sometimes mule them back on. This is mostly when I mule off stuff that I can't wear for a while or gems/jewels/runes which I might need later to craft something. I don't like having a clogged in-game stash and with a 99er, there are several phases that require different gear.

Sounds good. I will go chase down a copy of go mule.

Way to go @ffs! And welcome @kyndig. It's good to see people continuing to join.

As for me, after getting two weeks off after New Years, Phaedrus was back in CS, usually for no more than 15-20 minutes a day, and with the longest session around 45 minutes. He just hit the half-way point to 96, but I’ll do a quick update due to the very nice drops.

When last we left Phaedrus, he didn’t have Shako or Arachnids and was using Griffons to hit the 125 FCR breakpoint. The first quarter level was generous with runes, starting off with an early Ist, followed by an Ohm, a Lo, and a Sur just after one-fifth of the level. An eth CV also dropped, which picked up 4os in the cube, so he finally had an eth elite Insight. The only other drop of note before the quarter level was a unique Ward.

He was crafting caster amulets as he went, rolling a 2/10 ammy right before finally finding a Shako. He went back to NM to socket it, and quickly rerolled another good map. But the loss of FCR from Griffons meant some gear reshuffling. He dropped BKWB for a second FCR ring, swapped out Mara’s for the caster ammy and was right at the 125 breakpoint. Putting a shael in the Shako allowed him to remove 4 plain FHR SCs which were offset by resist charms to make up for loss of Mara’s.

Run times were about the same with the new set up, and Ist #2 dropped shortly after. There was nothing much of note, until this am when he got an unexpected present:
CS (Arachnids).jpg
So he didn’t have to wait to level 98 like Mercy and Hiatus! :D

This allowed another gear reshuffle, going back to Mara’s, finally dropping War Trav’s (MF is no longer important), and revisiting charms.

For now, he’s going with Dwarf star for fire absorb, +life, and magic damage reduction, but he will also test out going back to BKWB. Aldur’s are in the boot slot for now, but he will also test Water Walk (no Hotspurs). Sandstrom Trek would free up the socket in the Shako, but he doesn’t have a Ber yet so that decision is down the road (he can also add 4 FHR SCs instead). He also finally dropped the two plain offensive skillers to free up more room for SC mixing-and-matching.

With the FR overstack from Aldur’s (which can be upped another 44 FR with stashed Ruby SCs/decent secondary mods), I think BKWB will end up winning out in the end. But we’ll see what happens with Water Walk.

Run times with current set up improved noticeably. His life is now over 3000 with BO active. I will have more time the rest of this weekend and next, so hopefully he makes good progress toward 96.
Yng said:
@kyndig it depends on how efficient you are and what targets you decide to run but ultimately you’re looking at at least ~100 hours for 98-99 alone.

@PhineasB good stuff, some great luck with rune drops!

@kyndig - check out the SPF 99er compendium here, where we've attempted to consolidate the great knowledge about the journey to 99 from across the forum.

Thanks PhineasB. I know I should have read forum threads first, but there was so much, I was being lazy. I will take a break and read a bit this weekend.
ffs said:
@PhineasB Good to see you getting back to it! Very nice drops. Glad that Arach's finally decided to drop earlier, but especially that you found a Shako -- what a disgusting use of Griffon's that was. Unworthy! ;)
Corrupted said:
I'm not sure if he has an account here but I'm sure he's been lurking at some point or another;

Indrek is closing in on a sub-300 hour untwinked vanilla HC Blizz sorc currently halfway through 98. No extended stash. He's streaming regularly.
Yng said:
@Corrupted I watch his stream often, pretty sure he’s doing P1 seals/P7 Diablo so should be possible to do it even faster (albeit much less safe). Hell of an accomplishment regardless, though.

E: I’m actually really glad you linked that because I’ve been wondering about his XP tracker and he links @ around 10m on his latest video.
PhineasB said:
I decided to pick things back up with Pestilence, who is now level 81 and in A5. The plan was to quest through A1 and A2 as fast as possible and then get to LK.

After picking up Cain, Pestilence plowed ahead, making use of Terror to break up packs when things slowed down too much. Nothing of note from A1 or A2 before Duriel, except for this nice map in the Maggot Lair. I also managed to pick the correct arm of Durance on first attempt. Duriel dropped the first unique amulet for Pestilence, which ended up being Highlords. It’s still equipped because the +skill and lightning resist beat any other options at this point.

A 4os Thresher (not eth) dropped in A3, so the merc’s damage increased a bit with Insight. His LK map was a single fire but right by the WP, allowing for a quick run and back to A4. Given no teleport and very little faster run, it seemed promising after a couple test runs. But zealot packs weren’t running away because we hadn’t taken out the Council and orb, so we pressed on and decided to take out Meph. Another very nice map for Durance 1 sped things up.

Somewhere along the way (I am pretty sure it was early A3), a plain Tiara dropped, and I decided to burn the imbue quest. Pretty solid actually, it’s almost as if Charsi knew Pestilence was headed to LK. The +skill helped, and the +FR meant that resist was still maxed when swapping out Rockstopper to the merc:
Code:
Cruel Visor
Tiara
Defense: 86
Durability: 18 of 25
Required Level: 52
Fingerprint: 0x1f604c2
Item Level: 78
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+1 to Necromancer Skill Levels
+30% Faster Run/Walk
+70% Enhanced Defense
+9 to Life
Fire Resist +17%
Damage Reduced by 6
He was 2/3 of the way to 78 when he took down Meph. I initially decided to take him to a round 80 before focusing on LK, and he did a little circuit of p7 LK, p1 Meph, p1 pits, hoping for at least one upgrade. Sadly, it was not to be, except for a couple vita SCs (which are actually welcome).

After more than 250 LK runs (single fire, so more like 125) with nothing higher than a Hel to show for it. :\ So I decided to quest on through A4, picking up a Lum at hell forge and taking down Diablo. He actually made solid work of CS, so he may level there the next time he gets bored on LK.

The highest rune so far is the Lum in the merc’s Smoke, equaled by the Hell HF. So I think it’s time to reroll for a 2-fire map and focus on runez!

Ok, I jumped into my first attempt with HC cold Sorc. Thanks for the advice on that one. Made it to 35 over the weekend. Durial, Mephisto, and Diablo all just about one shot me. I decided to just run River of Flame and beginning of CS for a few levels. This surprisingly netted me a Dusk Helm, Sanders Boots, and some nice resist gear. As soon as I pinged 30 I dropped a point in Cold Mastery and pushed through to Act 5.

Excuse my lack of forum posting knowledge if this does not come across. I am a geologist and not a computer guru. I am making an attempt below at posting my level. Will post again next weekend. Thanks again for advice.

Glad to see this is still going strong!

@PhineasB - A very belated but well deserved congrats on pinging that 2nd character! You're insane. :p

Now you know what to do !!! Can't leave PhineasB alone with two characters there, right?

@Pb_pal Long time, welcome back and definitely join again! :) Also cool to see you start running @kyndig!

As for me, HelpYourself is making steady progress and is on track to hit 98.50 this weekend... unless I do something stupid. ;) Itching to report on a few cool things, but that will have to wait for that next update in a couple of days hopefully! She's dropped a bit from 4M/h but still averages around 3.7M/h when I last timed it. But I think it's a good pace for her, runs are more relaxed and her routine feels comfortable and safe, so not going to push her that much any more. Instead I'll have a go with a twinked/full skiller inventory Lightning Sorc at some time, to see what the build is really capable of.

In the meantime, Ric did get some playtime here and there recently. He's still in LK and picking up a lot of stuff: GCs, SCs, flawless amethysts, other gems landing on his feet, polearm bases (for future Insight IGs), rare circlets and jewelry. Also runes to roll Insights or Spirits, as well as possible bases for runewords that he will at least try at some point (Hoto, Beast, CtA, Oath...).

Runs are ~34s on the map below. Still not sure whether I should reroll due to the WP being in center. But campfires are so close, I believe it's not easy to beat without investing a lot of time, so I'll stick with it for now.

Anyway: Reason for this update is that after finding his first Sur just last weekend, he went on quite the streak. All of these dropped within a total of some 4-5 hours of running here and there since the weekend:

Sur #2.

3_Um.png

3_Ist#1.png

Same Ist pattern again some 15 minutes later:

3_Ist#2.png

Also two Pul I didn't take a screenshot of.

Two more Surs/one Ber to go until Enigma. I've slowly started to hit more poppables in LK to look for armor bases. Did find a 3os non-superior Light Plate that I think would be fine. Not sure whether I should wait for a suitable BP though. The str req difference of 11 is not much, but I could see myself being annoyed by it at some point. Also looks need to be considered of course, with LP winning for most chars IMO, but BP looks better on Nec. Tough decisions ahead -- any convincing opinions? :)

@Pb_pal -- good to see you back and hope to see you "back" on the table!

@ffs -- I think that's a tremendous map! At least, I'd be thrilled with it. You can go to bottom hut and just work your way up with minimal running, and you can even go back to WP down right side of platform if you want to avoid running through the docks (although I think it would be as much running to get back to the WP). Pestilence is just hoping for another Hel so he can finally make Harmony :rolleyes:

And so the mini grind begins..

Loving the near full screen radius on Static Field, you can easily hit the whole Infector pack from the safety of the seal across from where they generally spawn. My map is absolutely ridiculous as well, often getting 4-5 unique packs between the star and Infector's seal (2-3 slightly below the star, 2 near his seals), hence the slightly longer run times. I can get 40-50 seconds doing just Infector/Vizier but if you get good enough unique pack density it ends up being more XP/hour.

Of course, one can't simply update a 1/2 XP bar and ding without a few scares:
IIRC XP tracker had it at 3 runs until 97. This spot is almost never occupied by a pack (very often theres a unique to the East right around the corner of that pillar, but I've literally never seen a unique right by the seal before this and it's a Might-enchanted OK/DK pack at that. You can see I went through 4 FRPs trying to teleport out of the FHR lock before Save and Exit..)

Rune Drops:
That's 2x Sur from CS now. Another 2 or a Ber and I have all the runes for Infinty again. If I don't get them before 98 I'll head back to LK.

Item Drops:
The Glad's Bane and SotV were unfortunately both worse than previous finds. I went this entire time without a single Gheed's and I kid you not these two dropped in consecutive runs, of course the second with one already in my inventory. I've since moved it off in favor of more HP. 127/14/38 was a keeper, the other was low. Also 2 Cold, 2 Fire, and 0 Lightning skillers now.

I just installed it to c:/program files and made a shortcut for the exe. After that launch it and there’s an “attach” option. Find the folder that has your d2s files in it and pick which ever one you want the XP details for. It updates itself every time you save and exit.

Not sure who made it to be honest, I got it from a streamer (IndrekLeede).

Well done @Yng ! As for me:

Champion Phaedrus and Azrael the Defiance Desert Merc, Lvl 96 (pic)
Phaedrus got the second half of the level with little of note happening and no additional drops meriting screen shots. The only drops of note were Nat’s claw, Pelta Lunata, a +firewall Ormus with 15% fire damage, and this nice sharp charm from rerolling Diablo GCs after pinging 96:
Code:
Sharp Grand Charm of Vita
Grand Charm
Required Level: 69
Fingerprint: 0xfa860a0c
Item Level: 94
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+10 to Maximum Damage
+72 to Attack Rating
+38 to Life
I'll keep plugging away with him for 20-30 minutes here and there, sharing time with LK runs for Pestilence and trying to finish off my Auradin.

Duriel is such a pain in normal difficulty. I dispatched him after about 8 trips to town. Blade Fury isn't very conducive to tanking Duriel in normal.

I'm halfway to level 24 from 23 so I should make it around the time of the Flayer Jungle. Next big hurdle is finding a suitable insight polearm.

Made it to 98.50 with HelpYourself. :)

Screen Shot 2018-02-03 at 13.03.22.png

Things have been going smooth, I feel she's got Nihl runs pretty much figured out by now with life rarely dropping below 60-70% for these 25% of the level. I do S&E a bit more liberally and generally take it a bit easier than when starting out to run him, but also figured out some minor tweaks to her runs/teleport route, overall resulting in ~3.7-3.9M XP/h the last couple of times I timed her progress, with runs at ~20.5s average. I'm still keeping a full recovery set in stash though just in case. ;)

Had a couple of really nice finds during this stretch. Previously posted the 2/20 P&B and 2/20 Amazon amulets and second Infinity when she finally managed to roll a 4s eth Thresher. Feeling comfortable in terms of safety, I also swapped in War Traveler again for Aldur's, which I didn't regret given these drops, including a nice grailer:

Starting off with that, there was only one elusive grailer that would actually be put to use, and it was this one. The ED roll is painful, but I'm happy to finally tick this off the list nonetheless as I've been waiting for it way too long. :)

Not sure if a Zod will ever go into this one, but it's definitely another big highlight for me. Also previously posted in IFT. It would still be worse than Grief (unless in some weird setup with less DS from other gear for some reason), but after running the numbers very roughly I think it could outperform e.g. eBotD BA, which is not bad I guess.

A very nice HHG. After finding the 2/20 Zon amulet above, I was theorizing about a Javazon setup with a Cham + RBF shield here, enabling 99% FCR switch using CtA and FCR rings. Given she also found another 5/4 facet this stretch, she actually singlehandedly found all the ingredients for that recently. Probably a sign I should put those facets + Cham in this one for some ultimate Javazon action!

Tomby #3 with decent rolls (of course her previous eth one got only 1os...).

This turned out to be her Nightwing's Veil #5 together with Arach #3.

Second Giant Skull, first with 2os.

This didn't really fit for her, but nice nonetheless.

The only HR in this stretch:

And just before hitting 98.50 to top it off:

Screen Shot 2018-02-03 at 12.34.03.png

So, surprisingly she made the first 50% in about a month after all, despite her early mishaps and a tough work schedule for me. I'll continue to run with her for the next 2-3 weeks, but will take a break then at the latest, as I'll be travelling for 2 weeks after that. We'll see how her journey goes on, but so far it's been a cool ride, really would have thought I'd be bored to death with Nihl at this point. :)

Congrats on the progress and the great drops !!!

I wish I could give you more competition, but unfortunately I can't. Less playing time and slower runs mean I'm only at the 98.36 mark.

Good luck on the rest of the progress.
ffs said:
@T72on1 Haha no worries! To be honest I just want to get this over with at this point.. My entertainment with D2 comes and goes in phases and I'm pretty sure I'll take a break from the game some time soon. So I'm trying to push her over the finish line while I still feel like playing. :)

I am making some progress getting to 97 doing mostly Vizier/Infector runs with a Diablo finisher every now and then, at p/7. The thing is I have to do them faster if I ever want to make 99 this century.

Most of my runs are filled with OK’s and DK’s, and a fair number of boss packs as well. Of course they suck, but I really don’t have a problem defensively. The main problem is the OK’s being immune to Cold dmg. Which leads to another problem in that dmg with FO is kinda limited unless it’s a perfect hit every time. I’ve used FO so much that I am pretty good with it, but even then it’s nearly impossible to get that perfect hit more than 50% of the time. I managed to keep a strong Fireball in the mix, but it’s still tough.

My drops are completely sucking, even with around 250% MF. Hopefully I’ve just been hitting the worst part of the bell shaped curve and a few decent drops will come my way to help my motivation as well.

Pestilence has spent more than two hours in LK, now with a 2-fire map, and still hasn't found anything higher than the Lum from earlier, and still can't make Harmony. :( But I can't technically complain because this happened:

ffs said:
@PhineasB Wow, that is.. convenient! Grats. :) Hope those runes start to drop soon. If it provides any consolation, Ric also cooled off considerably in LK. Going from the above ~5 hour stretch (with 2x Mal, 2x Ist, Gul and Sur) to a ~6 hour stretch that netted absolutely nothing worth mentioning either. LK is just so random, one simply has to keep going and not get frustrated.
T72on1 said:
Don't make me think about that 2000+ runs stretch without a HR, after which I got ... a Vex ...
ffs said:
By the way new theory: Complaining helps after 5 minutes.

5th or 6th "end of weekend" run.

Lo + Sur would now be enough for Enigma. :)
 
Yng said:
I’m some 8000 runs (2 different characters) without a Ber.
Plan to patiently roll an LK map until I’m content and do quite a few runs (a new P8 Vex+ pattern is a personal goal of mine) post 99.

Would drag my balls across a mile of broken glass for that map @ffs has on his necro lmao.

Um and Ohm dropped on the same run, with the Sur dropping the very next run. He found a Lem and a Fal within five runs prior to that, so I was thinking at least I couldn't say nothing higher than Lum anymore. :) I guess I can still say he can't make Harmony :p

Now that's funny :)

And all of a sudden it's one Ohm to go for Enigma :)

Ok I'll bite:

Sur from a poppable haha. All within ~300 runs. One Ber, Sur, or Lo from having another Infinity set.

Will try for some more if little man decides to take a nap.

It was actually enough, though I had to cube everything Fal+ haha. I figured why not, will spend more time in LK anyway and will be nice to do some Pit running for some time in between. ;)

Of course missed a couple of gems :)

But here it is!

@ffs - Nice! Definitely a big milestone there.

Loving the gg finds from everyone else!

By the way new theory: Complaining helps after 5 minutes ...
Not a new theory: we all know that complaining helps :). But congrats of course.

Seems like HRs are suddenly raining form the skies. Time to do some running as well. Because you know, I'm complaining right here and now that I haven't gotten any HRs from Nihl in ages :rolleyes:.
ffs said:
@T72on1 Yeah I meant the 5 minute part was new, to me at least. :) Indeed, quite the strong untwinked 99er drops mojo currently it seems!

After making it, I briefly took Ric's shiny new toy on a quick Pits tour of course. Refreshing to do something else with him again. Pits map is OK but not really great. I won't reroll it though since I want to keep that sweet LK map for quite a while, given he needs many more HRs (Infinity, Fortitude, Hoto, Oath and eventually Beast are still on the agenda).

Despite his gear being really cheap except for Enigma, it feels quite effective already. Mostly due to CE just being OP of course. Currently running P3 Pits since Merc + Skellies are not yet strong enough to provide the necessary assistance to CE on higher settings. Gearing Merc well will be a priority going forward, shooting for Andy's + (ebug) Fortitude setup again. Going to mix it up between Meph/Andy, Pits and LK for a while now and see what happens.

Current gear and build if interested (nothing special really)
Enigma BP (duh..)
35% Spirit Broad Sword
Splendor in +2 CE base
+1 Nec/10 FCR/60 life/adds amulet
2x FCR/14-15MF rings
MF/Res/stats rare boots and gloves
+3 P&B Circlet (even though he's a Summoner, I prefer the CE range to his other options atm, also Merc needs his +3 Summoning + str circlet :D)

Hitting 75% FCR and around 235% MF which is sweet for this stage IMO, thanks to a couple of cute rare rings and ammy.

Switch: +3 BO CtA + Splendor

Merc:
Insight CV (non-eth, only 4os elite polearm so far)
Lionheat Cuirass (for str to wear the Insight CV)
+3 Summoning/+20 str circlet (for str to wear the Insight CV)


Build:
20 Corpse Explosion
20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
1 other Summon skills except Fire Golem
1 prereqs/every Curse up to Decrepify
Remaining points going to Golem Mastery

He's got a lot of totally wasted stat points in both Str and Dex right now. Still has his Hell respec, not sure if I used one or both prior respecs. Going to run Baal at some point anyway I guess, but for now I'll hold back on the respec and live with that embarrassing stat point distribution. ;)

Did not get much time this weekend, but did manage to push through into NM Act 2. Only finds on the way worth noting were Sanders gloves to match my boots and a Lem rune drop. I made a Malice polearm for my merc which helped a ton to get me where I am now. Lvl 47 NM Act 2. Think I am going to run canyon for a bit to find some better gear. My cold resists suck right now. Will update table next weekend or sooner if work allows. Happy running all. ~Kyndig

Well, I haven't posted in a very long time, but I'm actually still doing this (level 93 hardcore javazon). Here's something of a large update I suppose...

Things have been very slow going since I hit level 91. My bad gear forced me into doing eldritch runs; I must have done thousands of them by this point as I was getting ~100k doing eld on /p8. I couldn't do pit because I have somehow still not found a titan's so my physical damage is not nearly good enough to deal with the archers and my survivability was generally quite low. Similarly, I didn't quite have the gear to do Baal because I couldn't get to the throne; it took me perhaps a hundred attempts of saving and exiting to even get the WSK 2 waypoint. Luckily, once I did get the waypoint I had a very straightforward WSK 3 and eventually I got a throne I could do, leading to guardian after... I don't know, hundreds of hours.

Things have picked up a lot since then. I was able to make a sanctuary, which put all of my resists in a good range. I have a Tgod's and a Raven Frost so I can laugh with impunity at most enemies now. But probably the biggest boost was finding this:
WdHDg5j.jpg


Those resists plus some sorely-needed dr% have allowed me to branch out a lot. I can sort of do /p8 baal so long as lister doesn't roll LI (I have to S&E if he does; similarly, a lot of souls in the throne room makes clearing so slow that it's not worth it), but it's usually not worth it because my mercenary drops like a rock. Instead, I've been running /p8 pits, which, at level 93 is giving me just over a million per run on average. Not exactly fast, but much faster than doing eld over and over again. I still have to skip the archers, but it's fine now as they have a pretty low chance of killing me.

I've gotten some other good stray finds as well, but most of them are not especially useful for this character. The most notable of these is the +bow +38 life gc I found the other day, which would've been a dream had it rolled harpoonist (I'd have been okay with P&M too). I completely lost track of my holy grail count but I'd imagine if I did tabulate what I'd found the number would be much higher.

I've been checking charsi at the start of every game, and today it finally paid off:

6c481ecf-8571-4548-8082-b97d4c6c2643


I've had a couple of close calls. The first is the classic "critical strike death explosion while amped" where I was nearly killed from full health by a single doll (I think it did 1100 damage). I've been playing hardcore for so long that I should know better than to let things like that happen, but I digress. The only other situation where I've gotten below half was a very bizarre one: I was hit by berserker death stalker and it did somewhere around 800 damage. It scared the crap out of me, mostly because I completely didn't expect it. I'm generally a very cautious player and I haven't had a hardcore character die on me in years, and now that my resists are good and I have some dr% I feel like I'm in the free and clear as long as I don't try to play drunk or something.

...Still looking for that titan's, though...

Congrats on the progres and on that lovely hat !!! It's one I still have to find. O yes, and on the gloves.

Since I'm halfway on my way to halfway (?!) level 99, I guess I can give an update here too.

So what's there to say? Not much to be honest. Runs are going smooth most of the times, but FIs slowing me down prevent me from getting past something like 2.8M/hour xp. Yng pointed me to a nice xp tool, and according to that, I'm always between 2.5M/hour and 2.9M/hour, but usually at some 2.7M/hour or 2.8M/hour.

When it comes to runes, lately things have been very calm. I got a Pul this evening during a short break in our group game, but other than that I haven't seen anything higher than Lum since coming back to this character after my win crash. So hopefully that will improve over time.

Other drops have been in waves, as it usually goes. Some dry streaks, and then suddenly a very good session, finding Demon Limb, 2os Tomb Reaver, Azurewrath, a Trap Skiller, Homunculus, Warshrikes, Dwarf Star, all within some 80 minutes.

Other noteworthy drops during this stretch were a +5/-5 cold facet, a +45 life +2 max dam GC and Titan's. O yes, and these two GCs:

Good progress! Glad the XP tracker is working out for you @T72on1.
Maybe time for some LK @Me2NiK?
Xul's Gull said:
Afternoon, everyone!

Slow and steady we go - busy weeks haven't allowed much playtime, but Xul's cracked 5 extra levels since the last update. Most significant find since wasn't even for him, but did get me interested on a future project - 195% (or 190, I'll have to check when I'm home and post a pic) ED, 8% life leech Titan's Revenge. Transferred to a mule for safekeeping. ;)

Onward!

Everyone's getting one except for me! This is insanity.

Good progress! Glad the XP tracker is working out for you @T72on1.
Maybe time for some LK @Me2NiK?
I have a good LK map but I find it way too monotonous to do for any extended period of time, especially since I only really get to play for an hour or two every few days. When my gear gets better and it becomes more sensible to farm for HRs, I will probably switch to LK, but right now there are still many relatively common items that would substantially improve my gear and I like being able to gain experience at the same time.

As I've previously mentioned, my javs are terrible: They're +2/+2 rares with very poor base damage and no other noteworthy mods - they even have the default stack size and no auto replenish so I'm spending a quarter of my game time repairing them. Any titan's would be a massive improvement and would also allow me to reclaim about 30 points of vit on a respec. A high roll tstrokes would be good too and a low roll one would make a passable swap for LIs. One of my rings is junk and my amulet is a +2 amazon skills with no suffix. If I somehow managed to get a decent bow before I get a titan's, I could also respec into FA. Like most hardcore characters, I'm also on the lookout for an SS since that would get me to the dr% cap and would mostly eliminate my risk of dying.
Yng said:
Just a suggestion, but you could roll a LK map with 2 campfires + a wep rack with decent drop rate for Ceremonial Javelin. It’s not the best drop rate but you need statistically thousands of runs to produce CtA/Infinity anyway so you’re actually pretty probable to get one by the time you get the Ohm and 2 Ber. (CtA can’t be stressed enough for HC, dice roll packs one shotting you is definitely a thing.)
ARWUJlH.jpg
Best part is you don’t need Titan’s/Infinity to do LK because you don’t need to kill anything and if you kill Council you probably shouldn’t die without CtA. You can be very efficient with Harmony/40 FRW Boots/Stealth alone.
T72on1 said:
I'd think that any javelins with replenish mod and increased stack size are preferable over +2/+2 rares. Not sure how hard it is to get those, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will find those Titan's soon. Just stop looking for them. Only then will they drop :).
ffs said:
@Me2NiK as @Yng said racking for Titan's in LK can be a viable option. About a year ago I had an LK map with a Javelin rack and got several Titan's from it. Actually came to regret rolling that map away as I'm still looking for an eth one. Note that racks drop differently if NPCs/monsters are around and to some extent to different routes taken teleporting/running there, so you should run without Merc and ideally find a rack close to a WP when looking for one.
 
Me2NiK said:
Yeah, I've considered racking, but it's the same problem as LK: I find it too boring to put in the type of numbers that you need to do to get anything out of it. I have so much room for gear improvement still that I'd rather take a scattershot approach than simply focusing on titan's, especially considering titan's isn't particularly rare and it's bordering on absurd that I haven't found one yet (I have found most of the other excep class uniques, including multiple bartuc's, as well as a significant percentage of the rarer uniques). If I hit level 95 without having seen one I might refocus my efforts, but for now I'd rather also be gaining experience and also not be bored to death.

Normally I would farm a CtA and therefore try to work some racking into the process but javazons have so much mitigation (>1k health, D/E/A, max block, good resists + absorb/cbf) that I'm not really worried about being one shot. I also don't teleport so I'm not going to get into a situation where I'm amped and I get hitlocked by putting myself in a pack of something scary.

Hello folks

i've been active member in the past, namely from 2006 - 2009, i've reached decent number -7 with my HC Grail - still playing version 1.11 (my results can be found in the original Grail thread) and then i've stopped paying attension to this forum and started different D2 career...but this thread made me return once again, reinstall D2 once again to version 1.13c, so here i'm, with no stashes and one and only character to be (hopefully one day) lvl 99 character...To be honest, not even started yet, so lvl 1 HC Trap Assassin named Kaira waiting for her first kill ;)

I have one question though, in 1.11 i've used Atma as extended stash, can i use it even with 1.13c version or its necessary to use different program? (Go mule is it? - i have no experience with it)

Edit: If i understand it correctly, Atma can be still used, just avoid essences and tokens which i want to do anyway, but link for RWM here on forum guide is not working...can someone help me with it, please?

I'm finally up to the 20% mark so I figured I could do an update. Probably wont have too much time to play for the rest of the week.

Had my first stumble in a while which prompted some changes:
This was at 18.5% IIRC. Double Unique pack and the OK/DKs one shot me with Amp/Fanat/Extra Strong..
7disf76.jpg


At this point it would've been 10% XP loss and I actually had been procrastinating about moving a corpse recovery set into my stash. Decided to risk it and go for the recovery naked.

Slowly worked my way back to where I died and C/T casted Blizzards to safely clear the mobs.

Thankfully we got through it without a second death as that would've been a huge progress deterrent.

Moved a corpse recovery kit into my stash this afternoon and did a little rune cubing. Will add a backup CtA when I find another Ohm to roll a second one. Just need a eth 4os Flail to roll another HotO as well.

Rune Finds:
Only noteworthy rune but it's my first SP Jah so can't complain. Only Ber/Zod remain unfound..

Item Finds:
Ring would've been amazing with a little more resists, but keeper nontheless. Second non eth Reaper's and another low end Gheeds. Also second Tal's Armor, still looking for the Amulet.

Found a CHAM while progressing yesterday on my frenzy barb in hell act 3. I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it, I couldn't believe it. The highest rune I've seen before that was a pul. I'm playing untwinked single player with the A MOD WE DON'T ACCEPT OR POST ABOUT HERE - THYIAD mod, I also hit guardian for the first time yesterday as well. I'm currently level 86 on that character.

Just stop looking for them. Only then will they drop :).
No truer words have been spoken about this game. :D

Here's to the loot gods being fair to you, man. Joining the chorus that you'll find them soon.
Gynli said:
@Nuttymike That mod is not accepted on the forum. plz read the sticky first.

On topic; I guess I will leave a semi-update. I've spent most of my free time on other games so I've only had very small progress. Currently just at ~94.5 and should be hitting 95 by the end of the month.

With the current setup, I can clear /p3 Pits with most of my focus away from the game; and /p5 at just a bit more attention. I've been avoiding /p8 altogether because the merc still dies to a pack of skellies cause he can't leech. Progress would definitely be much faster at Chaos, but I'm sticking to the Pits till the end of the level... just cause i said i will some months ago. lol

Still lotta things on my wishlist. Fleshripper/WF/Cat's Eye/Reapers/SoJ and another full set of runes for a 2nd Faith =P. Oh and i guess Pride for merc.

Good luck to everyone still pushing hard! I'll be back when i hit 95. =D

294?! That's ridiculous. I'm over 200 and I'm level 93.

@Smittyphi: Thanks alot for Your help, its very appretiated, although not necessary as i've found this file by myself

As for progress, i've finished yesterday Act1 Normal, lvl 17, looking forward for next adventures :)

GL to all;)

I decided to join this as well. Never got a character to 99 yet. Think I got a 1.09 bowazon to 96 when I played on the realms. So, sticking with a bow, but also with summons, my other favorite strat. With a Hunter Druid. Currently lvl 19 at catacombs 2. Will ad my name to board later.

Seems I'm in the office for some 12+ h a day this week, so barely time to run. :( In particular not with HelpYourself, probably not a good idea to do when tired and unconcentrated. I did manage some 20-30min with Ric while watching something before going to bed.

After making Enigma he's left LK and mostly levelled to 85 in Pits. Meph/Andy runs were mixed in initially and are now becoming the focus for him until he's got a Shako, hopefully Arach and a +1 ring or two. Drops so far included 2os Giant Skull, Trang's shield, Lightning Ormus, and 4/3 fire facet, mostly from Pits. Luckily the first Monarch from Pits got 4 sockets and was turned into a 30% Spirit. At some point I rushed him through to Pindle's portal for quick skeleton raising for boss running. Hell Forge netted a Mal. Made an Obedience (non eth Thresher) for Merc when starting to hit Meph/Andy more frequently.

Pits runs are pretty straight forward, not 100% sure on how to approach boss running for those initial essentials though. Currently his runs are starting A1 -> Pindle garden to raise army -> Meph -> red portal -> Andy. Seems more efficient than only running one target due to being able to use his army for both bosses. While his Pits map is rather mediocre, not only does he have that sweet LK map but also very nice Andy and Meph maps:

While it's nice to run with him for a change, I'm going to try to focus on HelpYourself again with limited play time for the next 2 weeks until I'm travelling. Time to get this done. :)

Ok, so I am not in last place anymore. Woot for that. Finally made my way to NM Mephisto with my blizzard sorc. Really this is the first time I have played this character as I prefer melee, but wanted to give something new a try. Mephisto runs so far ~20 total netted me an Occulus, Waterwalks, venom grip, Sanders gloves x3 (odd). Other than those, nothing that is helping me out too much. Right now I plan to farm Meph until geared out better. Then on to Hell. :)

What is your plan to go all the way to 99?
 
PhineasB said:
Phaedrus is moving in CS again, a little more than a tenth of the way to 97. Pestilence has also made some further progress in LK. Another Lum fell, which finally allowed Harmony. A Vex fell, followed by nearly five hours of nothing before a Mal fell (followed by a Pul shortly after). That allowed Heart of the Oak.

Pestilence ended up rerolling maps to another 2-fire layout but with a little more running. The reason was mostly due to monster spawns in first map (5 deaths in quick succession and lots of abandoned runs in last batch because of two boss packs that regularly spawned right outside or inside a hut). The longer map also allows him to hit more pop-ables, which will hopefully help with non-rune finds.

After two more hours of nothing, I decided to make HoTo and quest to Anya as a break. 30@ roll was a disappointment. But still nice to have. I thought of saving the Vex for possible cubing up for faster Enigma, but I was ready for a little break. Witches rolled for the Anya rescue, which was tricky but eventually completed. He then moved up to Arreat Plateau. He was just short of level 82, so we did one Pit run to get there before returning to LK.

He then picked up a nice Ruby SC of Inertia, followed by Mal #2 and another Um. An Ist was mixed in (the pattern with the Fal), but it was hairy to pick it up with an amp-ed boss pack and I apparently misfired on the screenie. Earlier today he got Mal #3 and Sur #2, so a third of the way to Enigma!

I like the current map, so he will be here for a while. But he will probably eventually take a break and level up to 83 in the Pits and CS.

Edit: So then this happened. Pretty amazing to get a second one of these of Vita! :cool:

Hello all. Time for the promised update. Cypher the Druid Hunter has completed normal and killed The Cow King. His name comes from an old Ranger I played in DnD. His journey was what would be expected in normal. Nothing crazy to report honestly. I made a Zephyr, and an Edge, with runes to make a new one when I find a better bow. My damage is still very low however. My bear is almost maxed, and he is doing most of the work already. I have been contemplating respeccing into something else, but I decided I'll wait until I run into real trouble. The only problem is that I'm not doing much damage compared to my bear, so it's become silly to even shoot with arrows. I could kill a couple of hell bovines while my bear and merc would take down a herd. I don't have a whole lot of equipment yet, obviously, but my MF is high, so hopefully NM gives me some goodies.

And in the grand scheme of things, my seeming slog through normal will be a spec in an ancient druid's eyes, when he gets all the way to 99...

EASY! :D

Will you wait with Ancients until lvl 98?
Pb_pal said:
Let's do this again, shall we?

Slow but sure will be the mantra this time. I don't have a ton of playing time anymore, but enough to make progress at a semi-reasonable pace.

The first character I made when synergies appeared in 1.10 was an Elemental Druid. He... wasn't great. I spread myself too thin between fire/cold, didn't have the gear, and just generally didn't do a good job building him. Regardless, he holds a place near and dear to my heart. Another pang of nostalgia as I remember MPing with strjdje as he took Wind_Whisperer to 99 and shocked the SPF into oblivion. I'll be paying homage to both of those memories, but instead of a windy I'll be using a pure Fire Druid. After running one in the cow round of the RFL last year, I really took a fancy to Fissure and it quickly moved near the top of my 'favourite skills' list. Simplicity of build and playstyle, but with a skill I hardly ever so much as glanced at before.

Klaus the Fissure Druid is born.

I'll be using an extended stash, not keeping track of S/U, but I will be going HC (RIP Stevesy).

The plan? Gather gear and live in the AT until my brain melts. Gripp and CRG have shown good XP gains from AT, which I confirmed during testing for the RFL, and Nihl is also an option for 98. Sounds good!

Enough rambling, let's get some progress going!

--

Klaus got off to a roaring start (get it? fire...roaring...yeah.), he played around with Molten Boulder for a bit until Fissure was available at level 12. A few points in there and everything just melted (another fire pun already? Yeesh). A quick pit stop at the Countess and we gathered Stealth, Leaf, and a 2-Tir helm before cruising our way to Andariel.

Act 2 gave the next standard upgrade in a Town Guard with a savage polearm. Duriel soon bit it, and Act 3 was a blur of Fissures and running all the way to Meph. Act 4 slowed us down a touch, but it still wasn't long before we grabbed an Eld from the HF, made it to the Chaos Sanctuary and took on Diablo. A pile of merc resurrections later and he too was dead without any real danger to Klaus. A few Eldritch runs at the start of Act 5 got us to level 40, and with renewed firepower(you were waiting for the next pun, right?) Klaus easily killed Baal and finished off off normal and attained Destroyer status at level 44.

That's where he sits right now, no real significant finds or anything just yet (surprise surprise). I'll wait until he makes it to Hell before adding him to the table.

Happy running, folks. :)

Great to see you getting active again, @Pb_pal, even more so to see you doing another HC 99er attempt, and just plain awesome as to which build you have picked !!!

Good luck :).

@Pb_pal nice, was considering Fissure for HC as well. Good luck!

@drmalawi: Answer is no, i want to do it old fashion way :D

@Pb_pal: Very interesting choice, i wish You the best of luck and will be watching Your progress very closely;)
Me2NiK said:
I have never used fissure. What kind of damage can you expect at endgame? Does it ever get to be enough for /p8 hell? What do you do about FIs?
T72on1 said:
Damage should be very good, especially against large, moving packs. FIs ... skip them. Or slowly take them down with Volcano maybe, but that will be very slow.
ffs said:
@PhineasB Nice progress and amazing luck with the skillers! Hope those Enigma runes drop quickly.

@Pb_pal glad to see you back! Your journey with Eleanor was inspirational and many of your posts were really helpful for someone like me joining much later, in particular with a Sorc!

As for me, HelpYourself is still only moving very slowly due to a continuously annoying workload and weekends being packed with all kinds of other stuff. Things don't look much different for the weeks ahead, so she will probably only start making significant progress again in March when I'm back from vacation. ;)

As long as work keeps me too busy to run with her, I'm just trying to get some play time for Ric here and there to look for gear improvements. Levelled him to 89. I like the fact that at his current stage I can simply allow his drops to determine what he will do next. A Shako from Andy meant he ran Andy/Meph a bit less and started to focus more on Pits again. Also used first socket quest (Hell) on the Shako and put a PTopaz in it. When a Wizardspike dropped in Pits, he was able to go for 125% FCR and went back to LK to tackle the next runewords, namely Infinity, Hoto and/or Beast and in particular Fortitude for Merc to deliver those corpses quicker.

Within some total of ~7 hours of LK only two runes above Lem dropped, but those happened to be Sur and Lo, both of which of course help a lot towards the runewords to do list. The Lo drop led to more Pit running for a base, as the 2 elite armor bases I tried to eth bug before netted 1 and 3 sockets respectively. Already about an hour after the Lo I found a well rolled eth Great Hauberk which indeed got 4 sockets and 1116 base defense. It was turned into a 3363 defense, 28@ Fortitude, which I'm super happy with of course. This pretty much singlehandedly allowed for Pits runs to be upped from P3 to P5, which is a tiny bit slower but can now decently be handled by the Merc and hopefully helps with finding a 4s eth elite polearm. Also found a Vamp Gaze for him which he'll probably use until I find an Andy's Visage.

Screenshots:

4_Sur again.png

4_Fortitude.png

Managed to roll 4 sockets into a second Monarch and turned both Monarchs into 35% Spirits because why not.

4_35 spirit.png

Also found this skiller with a bit of life, don't really think these are actually that OP on a Summoner but I'll take it for now.

4_first skiller.png

Top priority now is a base for Infinity, for him I decided I'll wait for the base first. (Don't feel like looking for a rack again yet, that almost drove me crazy last time with HelpYourself. ;)) For now I do have one Sur in the HR department, as well as a base for Beast and an eth 4s Flail for Hoto, which I'll probably build should a Vex drop, even though Spirit is fine for Pit running still of course. Question will really be what to do with the next Ber, i.e. roll a Beast with the next Sur or wait for Infinity (if I have a base by then). Also I'd like to find Andy's Visage so might hit Meph/Pindle a few times to try and complete the Merc setup as it's so important for Necs.

Again, I'll let the drops decide. :)

@ffs nice progress, still haven’t found an eth HotO base..

Doing a good 5-6% per session and I've managed to reach 40%.
Please to say I'll have my new PC probably right around the time I'm hitting 98 so looking forward to testing out a few build ideas for Nihlathak. I think I'll run some variant of Blizzard/Nova because if Nihlathak doesn't work out for whatever reason that build is still extremely capable at P1 seals/P7 Diablo. Peaking at about 5.3M XP/hour and down to around 4 when playing more casually/picking up gems etc. Run times vary from 45-50 seconds (just seals) to 1.5 minute (many unique packs spawned).

Near Death Experiences:
Lucky to not RIP here. Starting smoking again and I decided it would be a good idea to go for some GC in the middle of a pack. Lost my cube in the resulting panic, had to go to Act 2 and grab another. Only thing inside to my knowledge was the Flawless Amethyst. I keep one always for Gem shrine.

Rune Finds:
Been quite a while since I've seen an Ohm. All set to make that backup CtA..

Item Finds:
The Double Axe base comes in clutch once again. Would've been happy with any 3+ BO just for the corpse recovery kit since I had the 5 BO already but this'll work. Another low roll on Gheeds and that's now 3-4 Tal's Armor without an Amulet. More teasing with the Life/Skill GCs, still 0 Lightning..

I've also started picking up Flawed/Normal gems for cubing purposes. Slowed me down a little but I didn't bother with them at LK and I was really starting to pile up picking up Ko+.

Cubing:
Cubed the following (sets to next rune, Ex. 1 Ko = 3x Ko, 1 Gul = 2x Gul) since 20%:
Ko 10
Fal 4
Lem 1
Pul 5
Um 3
Mal 2
Ist 2
Gul 1

Ok quick update. Had some extra time so ran the crap out of NM and got my sorc to 75. Still missing great gear, but resists are fairly high for Hell. My sorc has Oculus, Rhyme shield, Lore helm, Stealth Armor, Waterwalks boots and MF gloves belt and rings. My merc has an insight made from partizan base, best I could find in NM so far, Shaftstop armor, and 3 socket winged helm with P topazs. I did find a nice two socket eth shako base which i turned into a lore helm for my sorc.

So now I am Hell and it really is hell. I am finding every other mob is cold immune. I really need need some advice. I don't feel squishy in Hell, but I struggle to kill every other mob. Should I just bypass everything until the Pit and grind there? I do have 1 pt in fireball and 1 in fire mastery which helps. Need some advice from sorc experts. Thanks.

@ffs why infinity on a necro? To make the fire dmg from corspe explosion more effective?
ffs said:
It improves summons a lot too but yeah mostly to increase CE damage (as if it wasn't OP already). It's not as much of a game changer than it is for e.g. lightning based builds who need to be viable at all, Nec can be played without it ofc. But it provides a massive boost, great Merc weapon on its own and overall best option.

I have never used fissure. What kind of damage can you expect at endgame? Does it ever get to be enough for /p8 hell? What do you do about FIs?
Not sure about raw numbers, but the one I built melted /p5 cows int he RFL no problem, so that's a decent benchmark. That wasn't with ideal gear either (no ravenlore, bkwb, or perfect facets).

FIs, well, you skip them. Infinity will help with that by breaking what it can, but other than waiting for the merc to kill them you're kind of pooched. Volcano does do some physical damage as well, so for isolated bosses it can help speed things up a bit.

kyndig said:
So now I am Hell and it really is hell. I am finding every other mob is cold immune. I really need need some advice. I don't feel squishy in Hell, but I struggle to kill every other mob. Should I just bypass everything until the Pit and grind there? I do have 1 pt in fireball and 1 in fire mastery which helps. Need some advice from sorc experts. Thanks.

Do what you can to get to the Ancient Tunnels in Act 2. That's where a cold sorc will thrive as there are no CIs. Basically teleport your way to Andariel, kill her, then bee-line for the Lost City and get running the AT.
T72on1 said:
Agreed. Get to the AT asap and run that. One minor nitpick: there are no inherent CIs. Once in a while a unique boss can spawn CI. Just skip him, unless your merc can take him down fast enough.

Edit: @Pb_pal Man, I get a smile on my face every time you post here, and I realize you are back :). Eleanor was such a big inspiration !!! And coming with that, all the info you gave us on doing a 99er.

Any decent places to go farming for a BF/lightning sentry sin once I get to Hell?
Yng said:
@Smittyphi if you can manage the quests leading up to it, I’d recommend LK as you won’t have much killing power early on in Hell but you can still be very efficient in LK with just BoS/Harmony/40 FRW boots and a decent map.

/slaps forehead

Let me try again, Any decent places to go XP farming for a BF/lightning sentry sin once I get to Hell? I do AT with my Blizz sorc.
Yng said:
Pindle is nice if you can get to him.
Pit is ok but there’s a lot of LIs and the Archer packs hurt. AT is good.
Whatever area lvl 85 you think you can manage if you can’t bother getting to Pindle.
RIP said:
@Smittyphi: You may try Mauzoleum/Crypt as those areas can give You anything in the game and are loaded with melee monsters - No danger from archers at all...this area is best for Fire based character, though
weezaard said:
I thought the crypt was only lvl 83 or 84?
ffs said:
@Smittyphi @weezaard I think @PhineasB is going to post the final version soon, but here's the draft of the 99er compendium he is currently working on which includes answers to these questions. :)

In short though, for most characters it's either Pits or AT (depending on build) until early to mid 90s, then either CS or Baal until 98. For 98-99 you'll run either Nihlathak, Diablo or Baal. For Trappers, and it seems most lightning based builds in general, the most efficient way to level for most of the 90s seems to be Baal running. It's what both @PhineasB and @NanoMist went with and I did it as well with Lightning Sorc for most of the 90s until 98.
Pb_pal said:
@ffs , @T72on1 - Thanks for the kind words. :) This thread is so incredible, I'm just glad to add a little bit to the pile of awesomeness in here.

I'll echo that a Trapper will have the most success in the Pits/AT or Baal/Wave running (feel free to do testing and see if it's faster to exclude Lister and his cronies if they take too long to kill/are too dangerous at first, and Baal likely won't be worth it until the mid-90s or so unless you want some drops). CS is not a very good option due to the auto-targeting of LS not going for the seal bosses reliably. Basically though, find a lvl 85 area that you like and find safe enough, and hang out there for a while. Pindle can be nice in the lower 90s as well, if you're in need of a stepping stone to beef up a bit.
PhineasB said:
To add what's already been said, I wouldn't underestimate Pindle as a target for early-ish leveling in Hell. Sure, you have to get through A3 and A4 (and early part of A5) compared to AT or Pits, but the runs are pretty straightforward once you get there, you will get the +10@ resists bonus from Anya quests, and the drops are decent. Eldritch is a nice little option for early 80s also. You also then have the option to mix up Pindle, LK, and Pits/AT for variety.

For a trapper in the early leveling/gear accumulation stage, Pindle runs with a lower resist wand on switch makes it manageable at higher p-settings, and her BoS makes for quick runs. You can test out different targets and decide which you prefer. For me, at least, running through Pits when slightly underpowered was a bit of a slog and I welcomed the option to change things up. Good luck!
ffs said:
Agreed, in fact after those initial Meph runs, my Sorc ran Pindle until the Griffon drop at 91 I think. Since I let that dictate her build, it meant the rest of her gear was mostly runewords obtained from LK, so AT or Pits wasn't necessary in terms of S&Us, and Baal waves quickly ended up being the most efficient in terms of XP.

Kind of a fun fact she has only spent maybe 20 minutes total in AT or Pits.

I like running those areas though, another reason I enjoy running with Fishymancer :) he'll likely stay mostly in Pits until mid 90s apart from the occasional trip to LK.
kyndig said:
Thanks to good advice, I was able to tele my way to Act 2 and am proudly stomping through AT in Hell with my now lvl. 80 sorc. Finding many good runeword base items and several uniques. I would assume I can stay in AT until exp drops off. Not sure when that will be. Thanks again for helping me to progress.
T72on1 said:
You should be good to go in AT until lvl 92 - 93 or so. Can even go as high as 95, which I did on my HC Blizz Sorc, but usually CS double seal runs are a better option from let's say 93+.
Smittyphi said:
Farming Mephisto now. I am technically Hell qualified. I raced through act IV and V. Half of my deaths have come while holding a 5 month old. I have yet to find a yellow or gold belt. Finally broke down and crafted a blood belt. I'll come back and post a picture later. But as of right now, I'm waiting for the good NM Mephisto drops to rain from the sky. It's been disappointing. Oh, and I'm guessing on the XP. I'll update that, too.

So a question. My XP right now says 132647440. Would that be .13?

Here's my crafted belt

Double update! Finally had the time to do more running than just 20-30 minute sessions here and there this weekend. Ran a bit with Sorc to keep her moving, as I had aimed to hit 3.4b and ideally 2/3 of the level with her before travelling starting next weekend.

12_3.4b XP.png

Not too many drops to report on in her case since last update was only some 25m XP ago. Worth mentioning were SoJ #3, Arach #4, Cold skiller #3 (still only 2 Lightning), Felloak, Horizon's Tornado and another Lightsabre.

Ric on the other hand had quite the ride. He's at 91 now, halfway to 92. Did some more 2 hrs of LK running since last update, during which another Sur dropped. Since I didn't have an Infinity base ready, but was looking for an upgrade to increase the player settings for his runs, and as I had planned to build this at some point anyway, I thought why not just go for it:

5_Beast.png

I must admit this was a bit of a gamble: For my twinked Fishymancer I tested Beast vs. Hoto a few times (in particular for cow running) and found Beast was a little bit better. But for untwinked I wasn't too sure as I was a bit worried about CE range, since he's still lacking P&B skillers and stuff like Arach and + 1 rings. It turned out to be quite the improvement though, CE range is fine for Pits and first corpse gets delivered noticeably quicker. Same for other mobs being chipped away at up a bit more by skellies, softening them up more for those CE chains. P5 runs are a breeze now, whereas P7/P8 is also perfectly doable, but a bit slow. I guess that will only change with Infinity.

Speaking of which, of course soon after making Beast he found an eth 4s CV. :/ Had I found it before, I probably would have saved for Infinity first... but whatever. I guess this gives me the chance to find a better base along the way... It's currently used as an Insight (which cost me almost every Hel I had to get a semi-decent roll), resulting in the IG being put to CB duties with IK Stone Crusher instead. Also started to burn through all those amethysts from LK crafting amulets (cheating a little bit, checking ilvl in GoMule as he's not 93 yet :)). Crafted a couple of nice ones, but not for Nec unforunately. But he can craft many more, it's actually just the lack of gold income that's holding him back at the moment. :) He also picked up his first Gheed's, which happened to get a perfect 20% low roll. :mad: Anyway, screenshots:

Apparently I screwed up the screenshot with it on the ground, but here's the Sur that enabled Beast:

5_Sur.png

His first "pretty rare" category find:

Ammies:
5_druid 16fcr.png
5_cold 18 fcr.png

Yes, I really didn't manage a better Insight than this so far :)

5_5ar sc.png

HelpYourself was pretty pissed about this one (she still only has 2 skillers -- Ric has already found 2x Lightning in much less time)

5_Light skiller life.png

5_Gul.png

First HR from Pits.. but there was one more, see below. :)

Oh, and before I forget to mention it -- he found a Zod! :eek:

EDIT: Make that two Zods. :eek: :eek:

His to do list stays pretty much the same. High priority: Arach, Andy's Visage for Merc, and Infinity. Hoping for a better base than CV to drop. But if he's as unlucky as HelpYourself was with eth Threshers/GTs, I'll again just get the runes and go with the CV base. Lower priority would be War Travs, Aldur's or any other good boots really (still using rares with MF/resists), +1 ring(s) and a better ammy. I do like his current +1/10 FCR/60 life + resists one, but +2 would be better ofc. All in all this means pretty much Pits, maybe some Meph/Andy running mixed in, and unless he gets pretty lucky with runes I guess one last LK stint for Infinity.

E/S means extended stash in ATMA/GoMule

S/U means how many set- and unique items the char has found

Welcome back :)

Welcome to the fun :). What build will you be going for?
PhineasB said:
Welcome @Klonki - it's good to see long-timers returning to the forum and joining this adventure! And great progress @ffs !

As for me, mini-update! Phaedrus has been making some progress, inspired by @ffs to get back to things after a slight distraction with the Unique/Set tourney. He hit a nice round 2.8B, so about 4 hours to half-way to the level.

Unfortunately, he’d be another tenth of the way there if not for his first death since getting Enigma. But more on that later. He got an early Um, followed by Death Cleaver and a Pul. Then a nice drop (although honestly would have preferred a rare TC87 that contributes to my overall grail):
CS (DWeb).jpg
Exact same -ePR as the first one I found during my 7x7, and 2 worse than the one found by Mercy. But the only one that is +2PnB!
Code:
Death's Web
Unearthed Wand
One Hand Damage: 22 - 28
Durability: 15 of 18
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 25
Fingerprint: 0xd2448893
Item Level: 88
Version: Expansion 1.10+
Unidentified
+2 to All Skills
+2 to Poison and Bone Skills (Necromancer Only)
-46% to Enemy Poison Resistance
+7 to Mana after each Kill
+8 Life after each Kill
I got a little too excited by the find and swapped out a couple vita SCs and War Trav for Aldurs for MF shortly after that. When Phaedrus had just hit 98.2, I was getting tired and decided to do “one more run” before bed, which netted a Mal. :cool: Rather than S&E, I decided to finish the run, Infector spawned right on top of Phaedrus (very, very rare) and he was convicted. Tired = slow reaction = red letters. :oops:

I didn’t have corpse retrieval kit and decided to cut my losses since being tired had contributed to sloppiness and the death. I told myself it is only about 2.5 hours at this point. Oh well. :rolleyes: Swapped back the vita charms and Aldurs . . .

Just before getting back to 96.2, another Pul dropped, and then Giant Skull (1os) right around the quarter mark. A little earlier today, we had Cham #2 drop (first was from RoF runs before Enigma):
CS (Cham).jpg

Pestilence also has gotten more time, for a total of 125 runes found, so not much to show. I already posted the second PnB skiller of Vita, and the only other notables are Vex #2 and Um #3.
Yng said:
@PhineasB 98.2 a typo or you been grinding that hard?! Nice drops!
PhineasB said:
@Yng - yes, definitely a typo (that has now been corrected!)

Edit: Forgot to ask @ffs - I assume that is slotted for an eBoTD IG? :p In all seriousness, congrats! That's the one I'm still waiting on for rune drop grail and to make the eTomby.
 
Dezrok said:
Hey all. Nice progress going on.

It is pretty good to be sitting in 6th place on the table, but I think the next person to update should probably move Salome to the ranks of the resting heroes. I never quite seem to be inspired enough to load her up and grind out the few hours remaining to get her to 96, and I can't see that changing in the near future.

She will get to 99 one day though!

I might just do that, given a second Zod drop some 5-6 hrs of playing time later (what is going on!?) and the fact that rune is almost useless. :D

Honestly I don't know what to do with them. I recently found an eth Death Cleaver with nice ED roll. That would probably be the best (definitely most stylish) use of a Zod for me, as I only have one eth Tomby and that got 1 socket. :mad: Obviously could go for an eBotD as well. But thanks to Grief being so OP it would need to go into something like a War Pike I guess. I do have an eth one that I could take to Larzuk, but it's not superior. Not sure yet, also will need to check my stashes for other possible eth weapons.

BTW: You really need to learn how to find rare items with the right characters, come on. Death's Web with Pally and Trapper instead of your Necro? Griffons with Pally instead of your Lightning Sorc? Fathom twice with what ended up as a Lightning Sorc, wasn't it? Seriously? :p

Kidding aside though, great drops and good to see your characters moving!
T72on1 said:
Definitely great drops in here lately, as well as good progress. Keep it up folks :).
Xul's Gull said:
Inspired by the impressive loot, everyone! :) Only interesting ones I have to report are Trang'Oul's gloves (keeping them; it'd be a nice trophy to finish the set up as a reward for this dude if I ever get him to 99) and Hellforge being kind enough to drop me an "Um" so far. :p

3 more levels for me. Some nasty lightning scares, so I've been really taking my time with the game lately. Hoping everyone has an awesome week (and loot to go along with it).

BTW: You really need to learn how to find rare items with the right characters, come on. Death's Web with Pally and Trapper instead of your Necro? Griffons with Pally instead of your Lightning Sorc? Fathom twice with what ended up as a Lightning Sorc, wasn't it? Seriously? :p
No kidding. I'm drafting a memo to RNG :rolleyes: Actually, your sequence is exactly right, although Hiatus at least got to use the first Fathom for the last ~1/4 level from 97-98 before respec. And, seriously, another Zod? Amazing!

Good to see the continued progress, @Xul's Gull - stay safe!

Great progress everyone, some truly amazing finds!

Nightmare started out well as we quickly found a 4os War Scythe. Four Countess runs later we had the last remaining ingredient (Sol) and made a nice Insight for the merc. With mana issues long gone, and Fissure still rolling at a devastating rate, the rest of Act 1 went smoothly and quickly and we were soon fighting Andariel. The merc died, but the bear kept her busy and she was soon dead.

And just like that, Klaus has his end-game gloves! Sweet!

Act 2 was just a blur of sand and Fissures, Duriel was kept busy by the bear, and fell to an onslaught on Volcanos. Much the same in Act 3, low health enemies who run around all over the screen? Fissure says hello. Meph took a while as he kept moving away from the Volcanos (also, Klaus' Volcanos aren't very strong since I haven't invested in the synergy yet), but before long he fell too, leaving nothing of note.

Act 4. Things caught up with us a little bit here. The fact that Klaus hasn't changed most of his gear since act 1/2 in normal, combined with the increased monster life and firepower meant that fragility went through the roof. Since that's no good for HC, we re-assessed a little bit. Using a 4-soc Broad Sword that dropped in late Act 3, and a little bit of Countess farming to round out our runes again, Klaus got an upgrade.

He also made a Rhyme shield, and with the newly buffed Oak and Grizzly as well as some extra resistances, he was off to the races once again. Izual went down, picked up a Dol from the HF, and cleared our way into Diablo's living room. With the merc snugged up in front of the Lightning Hose, and the Bear distracting him in the meantime, Kalus was free to Volcano Diablo until his eventual demise.

Well would you look at that, another useful drop from an Act Boss! Klaus slapped that Skullder's on and headed off to Harrogath in style.

Fissure is still quite devastating to non-FIs at this stage, so Act 5 was pretty much uneventful. The group plodded their way up the mountain, and handled the Ancients with ease. The WSK was straightforward, Klaus found the stairs down quite quickly and dispatched of the minion waves without issue. As mentioned previously, Kalus is not a quick boss killer at this point, but he safely whittled Baal down with Fissures and Volcanos and earned the title of Conqueror at the ripe young level of 70.

other finds:
plain Fletcher's skiller
1 elemental skills/3mdr amulet (not great, but Klaus is using it for now)

Will do! I haven't switched from p8 since the start (although I see that changing soon, lol...), and up to this point the skeletons' army coupled with Amp. Damage and CE hasn't lost too big of a step in their killing speed, so I've been sacrificing some resists and defense in favor of a little more magic find (33% Tarnhelm, 100% from 3 pieces of Angelic - found 2 rings -, 50% from 3 pieces of Sigon's, 25% from a Rhyme shrunken head).

Fire and Cold I can manage just fine, but Lightning and Poison look at me like I'm lunch. Think I'll reroll a charm or two to see if I get them a little higher before moving on. Or simply let go of the magic find from the Angelic pieces in favor of better armor (I'm set for a Smoke when I find a good base), which is probably what my brain told me to do about three acts ago.

New update. House full of flu, except me ;). So I had lots of time to do AT runs. So far I have not found a good base for insight or infinity or fortitude. I have tried socket recipe several times to no avail. On the cool side, I am gaining levels like crazy (just hit **). Found my first ever Andys Visage today. Other finds of note: Most of Nats set, unique Mancatcher, unique champion sword and several other uniques that were cool to me as I have never found them before.

My plan going forward is to continue grinding AT until I get a decent base for runeword. Then on to Act 3 and some LK runs until I can complete better merc gears. I should round out at 99 doing CS. As this is my first high level sorc of any flavor (blizzard) please chime in if this strategy needs some tweaking. I will try to figure out putting screen shots in for next post. Until then, I am catching up to you ffs.......

PS: Not sure why table shows ** instead of Eighty Eight. I am currently lvl 88 Doh.

Check the route to 99 guide for the best leveling route. Basically AT and LK first. Then CS dual seal runs from lvl 93 or so on. P1 seals / p7 diablo from 98 to 99.

Eighty eight in numbers gets censored, but it shouldn't to be honest.

My update is not a good one.

I think after I had finished Normal, I actually realized the fool's errand of trying to get a Hunter to 99. Also, I was starting to die a lot. Way too much. It made me frustrated, and I was starting to get reckless. So I respecced into a Mauler. I was happy with it for a while, but I was starting to get frustrated again. I couldn't figure out what my gear was missing, and I didn't have the patience to do NM LK runs. So, in my infinite wisdom, I respecced again, into a Windy. I did have some random gear I had kept in case I went that route, but I was worse off than my Mauler had been.

So Cypher is done. I put him in The Fallen, because I'm permanently retiring him. I tend to delete characters of mine in any game a I play a little too readily. Also, I forgot D2 is not about rash decisions, lol.

Things I've learned:
- Patience! Patience is super important to an untwinked 99er.
- Planning! Planning my character would have helped me realize that a Hunter may not have been the best choice for this challenege. At least not before I've reacquainted myself with the game.
- General play tips. As in, holding onto my rings and ammies to reroll them. Actually knowing what some of the good runewords cost. Remembering what ilvl certain affixes and prefixes can show up at.

Anyhow, I'll join again at some point, after I put more thought into what I'd be doing. I was definitely trying to do a build that would stand out if I pulled it off, but chose to ignore how difficult it would be.

Happy hunting to the rest of you!

Dualizt_Ann had a slow and steady first wps in act 1. Nothing special, at least two green items, hrus shield and arctic armor, not to shabby for Klonki :D

Yng said:
Not all that much time available to play lately with business and birthday stuff colliding but I finally quit procrastinating and set my sights on rolling a good Thresher rack in LK. It only took about 3 hours of rolling to produce but I did some chests mixed in as well since the map rolled 2 campfires.

Some pretty great luck here with the first drop producing 4 sockets especially considering I had already rolled some 10 eth Threshers and 5 eth Giant Threshers with no winners. Even more so with the great Insight roll on first attempt. I only had 3 sets of runes left for Insight. Will roll Infinity in this one at 98.

Also did a little bit of XP grinding to reach 50%.

Rune Finds:
That Sur makes the final Ber needed for Infinity.

Item Finds:
LK was actually very nice while looking for the Thresher. First Lightning GC and third Cold GC. SoE popped while hitting an armor rack that was dropping Serpentskin Armors. Later a SotV dropped in CS but unfortunately another <25 resists roll.. I had 2 sets of HotO runes so I decided to burn one on a regular 4 socket base for corpse recovery and save the other for if I find an eth 4 socket Flail. Eschuta's was eth +3 with mediocre FD/LD.

I'd like to also add my side project--Lebron the untwinked HC 99er attempt.
I've just finished up NM. Did Den of Evil to test the waters and decided it's best to stay in NM for a bit.

Not all that much time available to play lately with business and birthday stuff colliding but I finally quit procrastinating and set my sights on rolling a good Thresher rack in LK. It only took about 3 hours of rolling to produce but I did some chests mixed in as well since the map rolled 2 campfires.

Some pretty great luck here with the first drop producing 4 sockets especially considering I had already rolled some 10 eth Threshers and 5 eth Giant Threshers with no winners. Even more so with the great Insight roll on first attempt. I only had 3 sets of runes left for Insight. Will roll Infinity in this one at 98.

Also did a little bit of XP grinding to reach 50%.

Rune Finds:
That Sur makes the final Ber needed for Infinity.

Item Finds:
LK was actually very nice while looking for the Thresher. First Lightning GC and third Cold GC. SoE popped while hitting an armor rack that was dropping Serpentskin Armors. Later a SotV dropped in CS but unfortunately another <25 resists roll.. I had 2 sets of HotO runes so I decided to burn one on a regular 4 socket base for corpse recovery and save the other for if I find an eth 4 socket Flail. Eschuta's was eth +3 with mediocre FD/LD.

I'd like to also add my side project--Lebron the untwinked HC 99er attempt.
I've just finished up NM. Did Den of Evil to test the waters and decided it's best to stay in NM for a bit.

Looks like the wrong table got quoted in several back. I think my last post had the correct table.
Yng said:
@kyndig ah. I blame the person before me! If no one fixes it before I get back to my computer I’ll give it a look.
ffs said:
Nice going @Yng, 3 hrs is pretty good to get a Thresher rack I think. Don't know if I was just unlucky but it took me 5 hrs to get a CV rack which I then ran for my Sorc's first Infinity base. And I really wanted to shoot myself while looking for one, those were easily the dullest 5 hours I've ever had. ;)

Nice to see another entry with HC barb, too. What happened to Kyrie btw? Oh and being a basketball fan as well, I should name my next character after my compatriot Dirk. ;)
Yng said:
@ffs I love Dirk, he was completely unique in his prime. Kyrie is sitting at 90 3/4 and I think that’s where he’ll stay. A Gomule mishap cost me his CtA as well as some other things. I considered starting back up at LK and farming for a Fissure setup but I think I’ll just retire him. If the Barb doesn’t work out I think I’ll try Hdin or CS/LF.

E: in regards to Thresher racks, just try to roll a map with a wep rack close to WP. Approach it from a few different angles. If you can get even 2/10 Thresher spawns it’s worth it if it’s close to WP. I had ~10 second runs where I start in act 4, take one step and hit WP, go to LK, make one teleport to right hit rack then hit WP from same spot and leave game in Act 4.
ffs said:
Haha yeah back in 2011 Dirk cost me many hours of sleep, and countless heart attacks. ;) Oh well. Regarding racking yeah that's exactly what I did but just didn't find one, even killed off my Merc to avoid drop randomization due to NPCs. Maybe I was just unlucky, no idea how long it takes to find a specific item rack on average. Have to ask the 1.07 crowd I guess they do it all the time. :)
necrolemming said:
Racks in 1.07/1.08 are way more stable than they are in future versions, but hunting for a map is still pretty terrible. It's made slightly better by the fact that you don't have to test each path/hydra combination more than a couple of times to figure out if it's worth running, though.

Up to 70, going through NM Act V (I *think* the correct table follows below, but feel free to edit my post if not). This act always gives me a better leveling feeling. :) And here's where I start being thankful for dumping points in Dexterity: 60-something% chance to block really helps when the Frigid Highlands decide to drop legions after legions of Slingers your way.

Magic finding hasn't really paid dividends after Diablo (and there was nothing special from his loot to begin with); on the luck side, I found a few extra mid-level runes that made me consider an Oath for the HoW charges. Need to start thinking about Olena's gear improvement as well - I get that the best choice would probably be an Act2 merc, but I really like the concept of having her stick with me all the way through the game since I'm playing HC.

@T72on1 are you gonna go with a fire based druid all the way to 99 or respec to cold later? :)
T72on1 said:
Once my sept is over, I'm planning to respec one of the characters of that Sept and maybe have a shot at 99. Druid is one of them, which would probably be a Windy first and a Fissure Druid for the last level, at Nihl. Or straight up Fissure Druid from the start. But that's not what you mean :p.

I'm still happy with my Fire Sorc plugging away at Nihl. I think you are mixing me up with @Pb_pal 's Fissure Druid :). Reading his post, I think he wants to go Fissure all the way.

Yoy are correct I messed it up! Need more coffee...

Fissure all the way! And grab me a coffee too.

Cool! I will follow your progress carefully! I have not decided which char/build to take to 99 but wanna do something unusual so fire druid is an option for me :)

You must be a gluten for punishment.
Pb_pal said:
Isn't that the whole point of this thread? ;)

On a serious note though, Gripp has tested it and an AT Fissure druid gets comparable XP/time as a Pitnec and beats out a Pit Windy so it's not actually the craziest idea out there. CRG tested Nihl and it's supposedly viable, so there's a nice bonus too. I'll have to confirm these things with my exact runtimes of course, though I trust their testing/judgment as a general rule.

Sure. I mean, we all have issues doing the 99 challenge but then you want to add more "fun" to it? Sheesh. I may be doing blade fury but at least i'm putting down lightning sentries as well. :p
Yng said:
Not sure about Nihlathak at all on HC :/
Pb_pal said:
I'm not sure either, to be honest. Definitely going to test other options, though they don't look promising.

- Infector is always unbreakable FI, though that's not horrible on /p1 I would imagine.
- Baal is all but out, Lister and co are unbreakable FI. Colenzo too, but that's less of a problem.

So Diablo is probably an option (with a strong merc), and I will definitely test it for the final level for p1/p7 CS running. If efficiency isn't much lower than Nihl I will certainly consider it.

EDIT: Also, considering Nihl has only 33% inherent FR, him being unbreakable immune shouldn't be too frequent of a problem. Only if he spawns FE + either Magic resistant or Spectral Hit. I didn't mind him spawning unbreakable CI with Eleanor, and she would have had a much higher rate of it due to his innate 70% CR.

With all that in mind, I didn't die running Nihl with Eleanor. With Oak/BO there should be more than enough life floating around, I would imagine about double what Eleanor had. Either way, that decision is a looooong way off (and there's a good chance I won't be making it at all ;)), so that will be a bridge I cross when I get there.

Untwinked 99ers. They look Hell in the eyes and tell It to go make them a sandwich.

@Pb_pal can more units contribute to higher rate of hits per second with Viper clouds? I know that the Merc can **** you but I’m curious if more summons can **** you more.

I'm not sure either, to be honest. Definitely going to test other options, though they don't look promising.

- Infector is always unbreakable FI, though that's not horrible on /p1 I would imagine.
- Baal is all but out, Lister and co are unbreakable FI. Colenzo too, but that's less of a problem.

So Diablo is probably an option (with a strong merc), and I will definitely test it for the final level for p1/p7 CS running. If efficiency isn't much lower than Nihl I will certainly consider it.

EDIT: Also, considering Nihl has only 33% inherent FR, him being unbreakable immune shouldn't be too frequent of a problem. Only if he spawns FE + either Magic resistant or Spectral Hit. I didn't mind him spawning unbreakable CI with Eleanor, and she would have had a much higher rate of it due to his innate 70% CR.

With all that in mind, I didn't die running Nihl with Eleanor. With Oak/BO there should be more than enough life floating around, I would imagine about double what Eleanor had. Either way, that decision is a looooong way off (and there's a good chance I won't be making it at all ;)), so that will be a bridge I cross when I get there.
I'm running Nihl with a Fire Sorc. Unbreakable FI Nihl doesn't happen much. It shouldn't be a problem at all. And I agree with you: Nihl actually isn't that dangerous once you know what you are doing, and with Oak also around, you should have plenty of hit points.

It shouldn't make a difference. It's just a matter of the other unit lifting up the Last Collide property of the Viper poison cloud missiles, enabling the missiles to go back and forth between the two of you dealing far more damage. It doesn't matter if there is only one unit (merc) close to you or more. The only difference is that, with more units around, there's more chance that one of them is close to you. But I tried it out with a Necro with a Golem, and it wasn't a problem.

@Yng - What @T72on1 said. Although I wouldn't bring a Grizzly along, just Oak. I found with Eleanor that the merc isn't much of an issue since he moves away to engage the monsters so quickly. The Oak does travel around more without engaging monsters though, so that could be an issue. I suppose just paying attention to him and recasting him further away if needed could be an option.

Along those lines I could just cast the Grizzly right on top of Nihl in between Fissures, and that should negate his danger too. Though I doubt his presence would speed up runs at all anyways.

Whoever does the next update, please put Weezaard into the fallen category. Despite being SC, Cypher decided to go a different direction

I thought I had him there yesterday - I think Klonki used an older base.

Please check your levels to see if this one's okay when you can.

Another tale of Diablo being Diablo:

Just before entering the Halls yesterday, I figured: "this looks just about the time to start trading magic finding for extra survivability".
The game then proceeded to drop two pieces of Orphan's Call (belt and gloves), Headstriker, Peasant Crown, Maelstrom and Mavina's belt before I could reach Nihlathak. o_O

Just hit 89 and decided to poke my head out of AT. Originally my plan was to wait until I had a nice Eth base for an Insight, but running AT was getting a little old. I braved the rest of Act 2 and had some nice drop action with Duriel

Next I cursed my way through the jungle to LK. So far the guide to 99 had not let me down, so I figured I would try a few LK runs.

On ~run 20 Vex dropped. Probably not a big deal to some of you, but my first one ever so was pretty cool.

This is where I will stay for awhile farming runes. I have a good two campfire map and a good AT map if I get bored.

That is over my pay grade. ;). Seriously though did I discover something new?
Yng said:
@NamelessPenguin IIRC it’s 5% chance for all magic as rare independent of the pattern.

E: that Vex pattern is already documented for P7/8.

First update in the new year! Finally hit lvl 95; I've had soo many more deaths than i'm proud to say. It took me at least a handful of bouncing back and forth between 50~75% before I buckled down and played safe. Most of the earlier part of the level was played on /p1~5 in favor of mf gear and watching something on the side; only the last quarter of the level was played on /p8.

Notable drop is a perfect eth dusk shroud that rolled a 4os in the cube for me. I've made it into a stone for now; on the next Lo drop I will turn it into a Fortitude. Reaper's Toll and a Sur dropped for me in the last 24 hrs; which I posted about in the ITF thread.

Still looking for...
runes and base for GMB Faith and Cham/Lo for Pride && Wind Force
- to try out the Pride/Faith setup. From what I can tell, this setup actually beats WF/Faith in dps when dex is in the low 200~300 range. WF/Faith will do till then - if it drops first...

Cat's Eye
- Still missing 20ias for the next bp. Will settle for highlords if it drops first

Fleshripper
- Need this to start poking the big guy. Because I can't teleport over to CS, diablo will be worth the time much earlier than other builds. I think I will go for max block and rest in vit (222 dex rest in vit) once I get this, which is why I'm leaning towards the Pride/Faith setup mentioned above.

20+ str/3+ ll & useful stats/resists Blood Ring
- pretty much only place I can hope for an upgrade after the above things have been found

SoJ
- to punch a hole in my tiara

Plans
Finally no more pits! Will be doing the 2 seal runs on various p settings till I can take on diablo (asa the fleshripper drops). But first, I will tryout Andy for either Cat's Eye or Highlords. Turns out it has lower drop chance than a WF from pits lol.

@kyndig There are these drop patterns, which were useful before runes got colored. You can search LK drop patterns, if your interested.

My numbers are wrong in the table so I'll be rude and update it without a proper progress update since I'll be taking a short break. :) nothing worth reporting in the little play time this week (well that is after those freak drops of two Zods in quick succession with Ric).

I'm flying out tomorrow, traveling for 2 weeks, but will check on you guys from time to time, so better keep moving! ;) I plan to focus on finishing HelpYourself as a priority when I'm back. Happy running folks!

I heard someone here told me that i did something wrong with the tables? Please tell me what? :)

Anyhoow! Ann is doing Great! Both Mephisto and Diablo went down smooth, Diablo took a while, he was pretty slow into dying, noting to discuss about drops but here is the bossdrops i didn't posted so far:

Goals: Eth skullder and df/nw, 10k-pindle is also something nice to accomplish and some heavy end-gear.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :D

No biggie, people can always update themselves anyway, just wanted to answer your question. :)

I'm back in the business...after death of original Trapsin, i had not enough time to play, but finally i can proudly say that her twin reached Conqueror status and finished Normal and NM difficulties, lvl 69...Really smooth questing i have to say, i've finished only few NM Countess and LK runs, other then that, almost single pass project so far...

Last time i forgot to mention my personal rules for this project, so here they are - ESC for avoiding death is not allowed, Respec is not allowed, extenden stash (aka Atma in my case) is allowed

As for finds, not much as You might have guessed, namely LEM, two FALs and few set and uniques along the way...there are some pics tho

Also adding myself to the table, hopefully i can do it right way, if not, feel free to say anything about that matter :D

I'm back in the business...after death of original Trapsin, i had not enough time to play, but finally i can proudly say that her twin reached Conqueror status and finished Normal and NM difficulties, lvl 69...Really smooth questing i have to say, i've finished only few NM Council and LK runs, other then that, almost single pass project so far...

Last time i forgot to mention my personal rules for this project, so here they are - ESC for avoiding death is not allowed, Respec is not allowed, extenden stash (aka Atma in my case) is allowed

As for finds, not much as You might have guessed, namely LEM, two FALs and few set and uniques along the way...there are some pics tho
ESC in HC counts as death for me too :) Die with honor! :D

Ah, the sudden urge to play a spear-wielding character. ;)

Conqueror at 75, both Normal and Nightmare done completely in P8. I wield the Legion, and we are many. :)

Off to kill me some cows and get my gear set up for Hell with a few extra runs (I scored a great WSK map, although the Mephisto one is... ugh). It's barbecue night, folks. Clear your schedules.

RIP said:
Reached LK Hell, where i will stay for long long time...the goal is to get runes for Infinity, Enigma, CtA and Fortitude, which means, that experience bar will be moving really slowly now, so i will make update in table right now...

As for the journey, i had first close call, in Ruined temple (one with Lam Esens tome and Battlemaid sarina) i had stair trap, so i had to retreat to the right wing, unfortunatelly there were Wailing beast and Spiders, used 4 full rejuvs out of 6 (yes, still using Goldwrap as a belt, and not upgraded, so i have only three lines for potions :rolleyes:) before i managed to kill them a escaped this potentially deadly situation

Finds - basically none...Last time i've forget to mention, that my first green amulet has been Tals...Ofcourse, if you don't need it, you will get it :D

Btw., almost forgot, this is my current (questing map) in LK, i will give it a try...Not perfect, but if it will be safe, i will take it

Welcome to the new (and returning) players! Some great progress by everyone.

Klaus began his journey out into Hell carefully. Dialed down to /p1, he cleared the Den without much issue and proceeded to walk his way through the act skipping all FIs he could. He found the Burial Grounds before the exit to the Stony Field, so decided to take a spin through the Mausoleum to test it out since there are no FIs in there and it's one of the alvl 85 areas.

Well, I don't like it. Monster density is way too low, it's way too far from a WP, and the layout is not conducive to quick running. Klaus won't be coming back. Oh, there was ONE nice thing that came of it though:

dE7MMI8.jpg


WUT.

It was only the 2nd or 3rd boss/champ pack that we had run in to (notice how little of the map has been explored). Even crazier? My next highest usused rune right now? Thul. A nice white Monarch to reroll later for 4os too? Icing on the proverbial cake. The prime directive is now to get straight to LK and flesh out the rest of that Enigma (hopefully I haven't used up all my rune luck already...)

The rest of the act was easy, Andy stayed with the bear and gave us no trouble. She did cough up a Wizardspike though, so that's cool!

Act 2 was also easy as the open areas made it easy to dodge FIs and keep progressing. The Maggot Lair slowed us down, but Coldworm was eventually found and killed. Fangskin soon joined her, and we plodded our way through the Arcane Sanctuary. Duriel followed the same fate as Andy, paying all his attention to the bear.

Act 3 was more of the same. Sszark almost got Klaus when he plowed straight passed the bear and merc, but a quick re-cast of mr grizzly diverted him at the last moment. Klaus pushed through and slowly killed the Council members to smash the Compelling Orb for easier LK runs. He then took the opportunity to push on through find and kill Meph to get the A4 WP, and is currently doing some stretching before starting the LK marathon.

So with that Jah taking a considerable chunk of running away, at ~900 runs/Sur Klaus is looking at ~5400 runs for Enigma/Infinity assuming average luck. I'll throw in a buffer for some reduced luck due to finding that Jah and I'm gonna guess 6500 for my goal. Let's see how that turns out!


other finds:
- Pul
- Rockstopper (currenty on the merc)

Guess it's time to have him officially join the ranks. :)

Changed a map quite a bit, as previous one has been too dangerous...Well, this still can be said about one i'm using, but overall nice map, Bosspacks are rare, so i will stick with it for some time...

Another very close call though, been surrounded by the monsters in one hut nearby the campfire, merc dead, Warrior dead and wall behind me...no way to escape...fortunatelly, only regular monsters around me, including those apes, and two of their champions waiting behind them...with help of one minute Mind blasting (it felt like eternity tho :D) i've been able to make some space, made a little step forward, which created even smaller space behind me, used Town portal and escaped to the city...Only thing i can say that this is HC at its best, surviving such situation ;) P7 setting by the way

Rune finds so far

I call it a good start ;)

GL and HF ;)


Edit: Pb_Pal: Wow, an excelent find, congratulations ;) ...i've found this rune only once during entire career...out of all runners here, Your Druid is most impressive to me, i will be watching Your progress very closely :)

Um, fellow Diabloers, quick question:

Arreat Summit references Hell Baal's EXP as being 4.536.276 at lvl99. That can't be right... it seems to give a completely different result of required runs for the last levels than what I had previously in mind. Am I missing a penalty I should consider, even if he's lvl99?

(just daydreaming - nightmareing? Is that a word? - about the bazillion-steps staircase ahead, really ;) )

Um, fellow Diabloers, quick question:

Arreat Summit references Hell Baal's EXP as being 4.536.276 at lvl99. That can't be right... it seems to give a completely different result of required runs for the last levels than what I had previously in mind. Am I missing a penalty I should consider, even if he's lvl99?
There's a penalty for characters level 70 and higher. There's also another penality if mlvl is greater than clvl, but it's not significant.
PhineasB said:
@Xul's Gull - this section of the draft 99er compendium covers the XP mechanics: https://www.purediablo.com/forums/threads/guide-spf-99er-compendium.71/post-738. There is also a cap to max XP from any monster, so p3 is highest setting for effective XP with Baal. Not sure if that is relevant here. (Yes, I do plan to finalize and repost the compendium -- now that I'm back in town that's on the agenda for this weekend).

@Pb_pal - nice Jah. I had so hoped that Pestilence would get one on the play through! Getting Enigma quick will speed up the search for runes for Infinity for sure. Very nice drop for you.
 
ffs said:
Very cool @Pb_pal, that is literally the most amazing rune drop at that stage. I'll be rooting for Klaus as well, please don't deed him. ;) I also think he will be a good Nihl runner, I meant to test it just haven't found the time yet, though I'm confident Fissure should perform well. Probably the bigger challenge is how to get him there when going Fissure all the way, neither CS nor Baal waves seem particularly appealing for sub-98. But I'm sure you'll find a way. :)
NamelessPenguin said:
Gripphon suggested AT runs sub-98, IIRC.

I am also rooting for Klaus, such an awesome achievement if he makes it to 99!
T72on1 said:
Same here.

My Sept Druid is progressing, almost finished Act 2 Hell. Like I said, I'll be respeccing him afterwards, and I'm tempted to go Fissure all the way. So maybe I can come back here after a while and report back in about the results, hopefully with some useful info for @Pb_pal .
Pb_pal said:
Thanks guys! Yes the plan is to stick to the AT all the way until 98. Gripp had his guy getting Pitnec-level numbers for XP gain which is fantastic. I won't be that quick I would imagine, since you know, it's Gripp. I'll test him out in a bunch of different ways and see what happens, but I can't see anything being as efficient as AT at the higher player settings that sub-98 requires.

Nice to see that people are on Klaus' side here, I'll try not to disappoint :p

@T72on1 - Please do, I'd love to hear about it! Also, Fissure is super fun. Definitely moving to the higher end of my favourite skills list.`

Phaedrus is now half way to level 97. I was traveling for work all last week so no progress until I got back Sunday. We picked up 40M XP to hit a round 2.84B, which is just a smidge over half way.

The only drop of note over the last < quarter level was Ohm #2, which prompted me to ask whether I had a use for it to upgrade Phaedrus’ CtA. Um, yes:
Code:
Call to Arms
Crystal Sword
AmnRalMalIstOhm
One Hand Damage: 18 - 55
Durability: 20 of 20
Required Level: 57
Required Strength: 43
Fingerprint: 0xa916fc27
Item Level: 80
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+1 to All Skills
+40% Increased Attack Speed
267% Enhanced Damage
Adds 5 - 30 Fire Damage
7% Life stolen per hit
Prevent Monster Heal
+6 to Battle Command
+1 to Battle Orders
+2 to Battle Cry
Replenish Life +12
30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
5 Sockets (5 used)
Socketed: Amn Rune
Socketed: Ral Rune
Socketed: Mal Rune
Socketed: Ist Rune
Socketed: Ohm Rune
So we checked the stash and found two 5os weapons that had been stored. With the first Ohm from CS, we would have two tries for an update, which was needed :( Second re-roll was better (+3 BO), which gets his life pool to nearly 3500 with BO active. But it still leaves room for improvement. All future Gul, Vex, and Ohm drops will go toward a third reroll.

On progress, he is averaging just under 10M/hr based on two timed half-hour sessions. Leaving flawless gems would speed things up quite a bit, as picking them up and then cubing for GC rerolls takes some time. But I really want at least one more skiller, so rerolls will continue until he hits 97. Then we’ll reassess and probably move to higher efficiency runs.

Pestilence also got in some more LK runs, with another 125 runes found to complete a 250-rune set. Main find was Vex #3 from a poppable, plus Pul #2 and #3. A nice upgrade early on was the set sharkskin belt for FRW.

I will chip away at the LK runs with Pestilence on and off for a bit, likely focusing more on Phaedrus to finish the level.

Two days in LK without HRs...So, i've tried my luck with HF, and truly got rewarded - basically best rune i could hope for :)

Now i'm VEX away from CtA, which is highly needed

Edit: Haha funny, third run later in LK

Quick update. I will add data later. Traveling this week, so not much time. I hit level 90 over the weekend and decided to go back to Act 1 and pick up my respec since there were changes I wanted to make. I plowed through the Den no problem as my merc now has eth Cryptic Axe Insight. Then I went to respec and pulled the noob out of my past. I hadn't seen him for awhile so it was about time he came back. I put my attribute points in the right places, but then after placing my skill points, I realized that I had forgotten my teleport tree. CRAP. I do not want to waist another respec, so I think I am just going to plow through AT for a two levels. Anyway, let this be a lesson to .......ME.

Alright i need a ruling. I found a Duriels Shell but got rolled back due to the crash. I found another one but not with my 99 character. Can I do a one time transfer from my regular stash to my 99er and keep the spirit of the challenge?
Yng said:
IMO moving anything on to the character that you didn’t find on the character is compromising your untwinked status. :/

I think it is fair and within the spirit of the challenge, but I am the Noob on the SPF. BTW, how does diablo 2 offline crash?

On the lighter side of things...

Ooh.png

Now properly named and ready for a future socket (I'm aware that unique socketing was probably wasted, but she deserved it :p )

There it is.png

(and since I'm about to trade some of that MF equipment, it's nice to have it on switch for bosses)

Olena's about to switch Edge for Harmony (found a Blade Bow with the right number of sockets), which is probably a bit overdue. Rerolled one of those Grand Charms to a +14 resist all, and the others are backing individual resists up as well.

Busy weekend with family around, so happy hunting, folks. May the Fates smile upon your loot and experience!

For me, the most common cause of crash is due to Delerium runeword

In that case, I will avoid that runeword.

it happens like 1 in 100 chaos runs. It happens if the merc get hit in the middle of the transformation to that doll thingy. No big deal unless you were just about to pick up that high rune ... ;) The saftey it offers is worth it I guess.

NamelessPenguin said:
I have put my barbarian to rest. I romanticized about having an über CS running barb, and when that failed, I had to try Baal. That failed, too, at least for me. Got many sub 4 min runs, but I am simply too lazy to run Baal with a melee character. And to be honest, the love simply was not there, we never really hit it off.

Playing untwinked is a very fun experience. Taking a character from scrap gear up to the best items is a fun challenge. My hat goes off to all the ones who made it, now I somewhat fathom what this is all about. Or at least more than what I did before.

It would be fun to try this again with a different character, but all the LK runs the lie ahead with an unwtinked toon is a bit...daunting. Can't believe @PhineasB did it two times :eek: Awesome!

drmalawi said:
@NamelessPenguin sorry to hear about that, it takes at least some dedication to get an untwinked barb to 95 anyway so hats off for that achievment! What build and gear did you go with?
RIP said:
@NamelessPenguin: I think that melee combat is toughest way to go...My respect for that...Pick up some caster and start again is my advise, as like You've said, untwincked play is too adictive ;)
NamelessPenguin said:
@drmalawi Yeah, I really hoped that build/class was something for me, but no. Kinda sucks, after having spent so much times finding the items.

Max Sword, WW, BO, Stun (for the waves), and a little here and there, mainly Berserk and Nat Res.

Enigma MP
Dual Grief PB's
Guilliams Face
Highlords
String Of Ears
LoH
Raven's
Rare Leech ring
War Trav / Gores

I'd much rather have a necro with Enigma, Beast and Inifinty.
 
drmalawi said:
@NamelessPenguin sounds like you've got almost all end game gear. I guess love for the char is more important than optimal gear when it comes to getting to 99 :)
NamelessPenguin said:
@RIP Yeah, it's a tough battle, for sure. I just thought reaching 99 with a barb is so very cool, that I had to give it a go. The two 99 barbs are just so awesome, pure steel. Same with Asmo's zealer. It's all a matter of taste, I guess.
NamelessPenguin said:
@drmalawi I'd say the gear was very near end-game, the only place for improvements was on the Grief rolls. And some better charms. I never tried running the waves with Arreat's "Cham", maybe that would have worked better than Guillams.

I'm gonna keep him equipped, just in case I get the urge to saddle up again.
RIP said:
@NamelessPenguin: Exactly...From all 99ers (and i've read all threads) the most memorable for me are Ugla's Furyzon and Corr's Samsara (Hammerdin)...First one because i know the story behind, as we are RL friends with Ugla, and second because Corr is just great guy, good mentor...Being an old timer, i remember days when DC chars were still under construction, same for Marvels...Many, many succesfull 99ers since then, great job everyone, it kept me motivated to play D2 all these years, and even start my own journey here again...@PhineasB certainly deserves to be mentioned as good motivator too, as his job here is just great..,and i've certainly forgot to mention other great players...Cyrax is the guy with already four finished 99ers, right?
PhineasB said:
Sorry to hear about the retirement @NamelessPenguin . But it's definitely going to be a losing battle, especially at the later levels if the character isn't enjoyable. It was fun to watch your progress and good luck with the other projects.

@RIP - yep, @Cyrax has four of 'em. :eek:

Also wanted to let folks in this thread that the final version of the SPF 99er Compendium is finally up: https://www.purediablo.com/forums/threads/guide-spf-99er-compendium.71/. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and encouragement to get it done!
RIP said:
@PhineasB: Job very well done ;)
ffs said:
@NamelessPenguin sad to hear about it but I am sure you'll get the urge again at some point so just keep him untwinked and join us again later. :) I can definitely say the Fishymancer is great fun and a cool untwinked choice as he mainly needs only runewords, so if you like the play style go for it!

@PhineasB truly great job! Can't say it often enough. :)

Still no progress for me as I'm still on vacation but will get back to it in a week or so!
NamelessPenguin said:
@RIP Yeah, Ugla's 99'er was sweeet, real budget version. 5 skillers? No Infinity? No JMoD? Pure ghetto.
I also remember when DC and Marvel worked on their character. I've been obsessed with finding a +6 LS claw after I saw his readout. And what Marvel did with his Fishymancer, back in 1.11 :eek: Jesus that must have taken some patience. IIRC he said he did 61K LK runs. Not only that, he also had an eTomby, cubed from LK runes. Man this game makes me nostalgic :p

@PhineasB Thanks man :) Great job with the compendium!

@ffs I am in the mist of building a twinked Fishymancer, just to see if I like the style. I don't quite have the items yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. Corpse Explosion just rocks! I always look forward to your updates :) Is the plan to do Baal runs?
PhineasB said:
Phaedrus is another quarter of the way toward 97. Drops were solid for this stretch. :) The gear continues to improve, with a nice Ruby GC of Sustenance (30/33) dropping early on. This led to some charm shuffling, with 3 Ruby SCs with not-helpful secondary mods dropping out.

I had been reading through pally 99er write ups and realized that I may have been over-valuing FHR, so the charm reshuffle also led to dropping one FCR SC to see how things went. I didn’t notice a difference, so two vita SCs and a 7% MF SC swapped in, with a pTopaz replacing the Shael in the Shako, for 232 MF with the new set up.

This led to nice item drops. HHG (2os), Ghostflame, and the set Corona dropped before the reshuffle. Then Fleshripper, Nightwings, and Boneflame #2 over the last 15M or so after the charm shuffle.

For runes, we had an early Gul, then Ohm #3, and Ums #2 and 3 and Mal #2, which allowed a fourth CtA roll with some cubing up:
CtA #4.jpg
Slowly improving (+4 BO), I guess. :rolleyes: We’re about 6 hours shy of 97, so I am hoping to ping the level before next weekend. Pestilence will see some LK runs mixed in, so hoping for the nice rune luck to continue. Good luck to all and keep running!
RIP said:
@NamelessPenguin: Yes, Marvel has been simply Marvelous...He droped HRs in 1.11 with same speed like i do in 1.13...Unbelievable dedication and effort...

@PhineasB: Nice progress, and congrats to all rune nad item drops, aswell as to improved CtA...
ffs said:
@NamelessPenguin yeah I guess it’s not unlikely he’ll end up running Baal a lot, but I’ll try different things after some more farming and another level or two. So far he’s mostly running Pits which is good for now.

But once I get back to running I think I’ll focus on finishing the Sorc first, so he’ll have to wait a bit. :)
Caralis said:
guys just a quick question about your approach to lk. I'm runing with amazon, still trying to have a good map.
So what runtimes can you expect with this char? (using harmony, playing HC).
I know I can do 20s runs with sorc, but that doesn't seem realistic expectations for a harmony amazon.

Edit: I'm currently running 3 chest map really close to the waypoint. I think that if I really push and don't open junk in the way I could have 30s runs (60s at 6 chest efficiency)
Yng said:
@Caralis IIRC @ffs was getting ~30s on his Necro with a really good map and no teleport but to be fair I don’t think he has any loading screen delays whatsoever. IMO 40-45s is definitely manageable with a decent map. There’s a great write up on LK somewhere around here.

On a side note, new PC is in and monitor will be in Tuesday + I’m off that day. Hoping to have everything setup by then so should be back at it with Sophie soon!
ffs said:
Yeah he has a great LK map, about 33-34s without teleport and 21-22s with Enigma & 125 FCR IIRC.

Generally I'd reroll a single campfire map, it's not worth it unless you want to keep a truly amazing other map. Don't know about loading times on other computers but I guess it's also worth noting that you can cut down time spent in menues by clicking "blindly", since the game reacts to it even if the screen is black. Takes some practice but it speeds things up a little bit.

Champion Phaedrus and Azrael the Defiance Desert Merc, Lvl 97 (pic)
Phaedrus uneventfully covered the last quarter level to ping 97. I figured it would be later in the week, but I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep, so CS runs it was

Finds for the last quarter level: Ist, Windforce #2 , and Mal #3 and Mal #4 (within 2 runs of each other). He also found Um #4 and Eaglehorn. Adding to the first three updates (here, here and here), the runes (Mal+) netted for level 96-97 were:
Code:
Mal x4
Ist
Ohm x2
Cham
I am going to reroll the CS map for a 4-shrine map and test out Gripphon runs, 3-seal runs, and p8/p7 runs. Too bad, because I liked the boss density on this one, but it has only one shrine.

Looking at the numbers, I think p8/p7 may be the best bet if I can get XP shrines regularly. The seal bosses drop off pretty seriously for level 97. Diablo is more than Infector and Vizier (with de Seis added in, it’s ~20k more per run from Diablo/de Seis compared to the other two). So as long as it’s no more than twice as long it should net out more efficient, especially with XP shrines. But that’s why we test!

The other question is what to do with the merc. I still have defiance but was thinking about a Might merc to help take down de Seis a little faster when tele-stomping. At this point, I think I’ll just stick with Azrael though.

The other-other question is whether to stop picking up gems. My inclination is yes, it’s as likely to get the next skiller from drops (rerolling only increases the odds slightly) and the godly pally caster amulet is so very unlikely. :rolleyes: Time to focus on speed, methinks!

Good luck to all the runners!

@PhineasB Congrats !!! Impressive. And yes, I'd focus on speed too.

@Pb_pal I did some testing with a Fissure Druid. My first impressions: AT works well, Nihl ... not really. Of course, this is only based on a few runs, so maybe you can make it work. Then again, I have 6 skillers on the character, as well as a faceted Ravenlore (full gear in spoiler below, the Ravenlore is only -10% EFR so could be improved upon). Not sure if you can count on that in an untwinked situation. A Phoenix shield would do wonders for this build, I'd guess, but I don't think you want to grind for that in LK ...

As for AT, it works well, although I wasn't super fast. Then again that could be a matter of adapting to the build. If you don't focus on drops, you could often cast a Fissure on a group and probably already move on, where the Fissure would kill most enemies and you save a lot of time. The character is very safe, with some 3600 life. Gotta love the combination of Oak and BO :). Only annoying thing is that there's one FI monster type that can spawn in AT. They are breakable, but even then killing them is too slow to be worth it.

I know this is all rather vague, so if you want more details, just ask :).

@T72on1 Do you run the Maggot lair aswell? Nice work dude!

You could clear the area and then back track for checking drops, I think that will save some time but perhaps not significant

@NamelessPenguin sorry to hear about that, it takes at least some dedication to get an untwinked barb to 95 anyway so hats off for that achievment!
All of this. ^

Speaking from experience, the Summoner is a lot of fun, but he's been my favorite class from release. The main goal, of course, is 99, and *if* possible, completing the Trang'Oul set simply for the fun of it (wouldn't mind the damage reduction one bit as well :) ). I only have the gloves for now, but I'm staying hopeful.

Currently using an Oath after all the army has been summoned for the Heart of Wolverine. With a low-req enough base and careful placement of the summon, repairing the axe it's been built on isn't that expensive and helps with killing speed until I have a better option. Olena (my hireling) is using Harmony (boy, can that army book it now!) and Duress (while not ideal for ranged, it still procs blood loss and CB often enough to matter). Looking for a helm that amps the CB chance, but no luck so far on that end.

Still debating how far up I'm taking CE . Maxed RSkels , SMast and SMages, and from the curses/bone spells I took, I should have ~ enough points by the end to max another skill and have another at 10 (most likely Golem Mastery and CE, but I'll experiment with both at a certain level to see if a respec is needed).

Onward!
Pb_pal said:
@T72on1 - Awesome! Thanks for the info, that's hugely helpful. I'm not too worried about uber speed or anything, as I'm trying to keep my mindset to be slower but safer (Klaus is HC, after all!). I'm not counting on a Ravenlore, but I think Phoenix should be in the long-term plans even if I don't specifically grind for it. The safety aspect you mention is very encouraging, since I don't trust myself with a HC char under 3k life for the long haul. ;)

The more I think about it, the more Nihl seems a bit sketchy in general since Fissure is not a very pointed attack, and I don't want to tele to him for Firestorm. He moves around a lot so Volcano is out. I'm going to test Diablo runs if and when I get there, and I have a loose feeling that's the direction I'll go. Fissure druids just aren't great boss killers afaik, so we'll see what happens there.

@PhineasB - My suggestions: Might merc, don't pick up gems. Curious to see your numbers with full runs vs Gripp runs, I know it was discussed before but as we've learned the "rules" are very malleable for each individual character/player. Congrats on the progress, quite impressive!

--

First set of 1000 LK runs done!

Klaus did about 50 runs of single-campfire running to get kickstarted before biting the bullet and rolling himself a 2-campfire map that is decent for non-teleport running. After that he was off to the races.

Run 95 - Ko

Here he quickly made a Harmony, giving him runtimes of 40-50 seconds depending on picking/monster-dodging. He promptly ALMOST joined Stevesy in the Great Beyond:

6qQpEmc.jpg


This prompted me to make sure he always casts Oak before running heading out ;)

Run 187 - Ohm
Run 259 - Pul
Run 417 - Mal (this leaves Klaus an Ist away from CtA)
Run 457 - Vex (shortly after he found another Ko, we now have the runes for HoTo, just no base)
Run 577 - Gul
Run 727 - Mal


Not bad for a starting set despite the lack of a Sur. Was nice to flesh out some of those mid-high runes for the 'utility' RWs so early on.

Skillers found:
- Paladin Combat Skills (with 22% gold find)
- Warcries
- Shadow Disciplines
- Elemental (!) Right at the end too, run ~950. Certainly wasn't expecting one so soon!


Other finds:
- A few Lems, so a Treachery was made for the merc
- 10%LR/6%MF SC (awesome!)
- plain SC of Vita (20), a couple of 19s as well.
- plain 7%MF sc
- 10%PR/6%MF SC (cool!)
- Echoing (3 Warcries) amulet of Luck (32%MF) --> future Singer maybe?

Great drops already, congrats !!! Don't do that NDE's too often though, really scary stuff !!!

Fissure is indeed somewhat erratic, which makes it less good for bosses and stationary targets in general. In AT, Firestorm takes care of those. For Nihl, that's too dangerous.

Nice finds @Pb_pal! Keep him safe. :) Ric died 2-3 times running LK for Enigma before he had CtA, it’s easy to forget it can be dangerous early on..

Also nice progress @PhineasB! Some really good finds for the level. I better get back to HelpYourself soon to spoil your three in a row. :p

Back from another road warrior trip. Was able to squeeze in enough LK and AT runs to hit 91 and finally get my Teleport back. I was using teleport on switch, but feels good to get the skill back. This is my highest level HC character ever, so pretty happy about that. I am one Lo rune away from a nice Fortitude on an awesome base for my merc. Still long ways from Enigma. I did find a Tals Armor which has brought me many cool finds since.

Was stoked about this one. Never found it before.

RJW7DFp.jpg


This was also cool as a first for me. Not sure I will ever use it, but still cool.

Will keep plowing through LK and AT until I can finish Fortitude and Enigma. That is the plan right now. Not sure about CS dual runs yet, worries me being HC.

@kyndig Nice progress.

Why do you want Enigma for a Sorc, as part of an untwinked 99er attempt? O yes, and what was the unique Phase Blade? You know, there are two possible outcomes there ...
kyndig said:
Good questions both. I have never had the opportunity in HC to farm high runes before. So since I have a nice sorc setup and I plan to do a twinked Paladin next, I figured I would take the opportunity to get enigma runes. For this project I am definitely needing fortitude on my merc. Not sure if I need any other runewords as I am killing at a decent speed now. The phase blase was Lightsabre which made my inner Star Wars geek happy.
darkstarhub said:
Wow @PhineasB that is some solid progress. You were quite a few levels behind me with that character and have left me in the dust. I thought my progress to 97 wasn’t too bad, but you are a machine.

I have a decent CS map that has a shrine next to the pentagram, which spawns XP about a third of the time. I just save it for Diablo since the OK’s cancel any shrine out, and there are always tons of them around. The density of monsters is almost overwhelming sometimes, but it makes the runs fun.

No progress at all for me, while speaking about runes...i've found exactly 0 HRs since last report...Not sure how many runs i did because i do not count them, however, my LK map has stable Totemic mask rack (dropping in 90% of runs) and i've got 5 Jalals already, so certainly finished more then a few...

At least, i've progressed little bit further through the game, so i've mixed endless LK runs with some Eldrich runs, which resulted into few good finds and current lvl 85

Speaking about finds:

Screenshot027.jpg

Unfortunately, only 37%MF ones, but better than nothing i guess :D


Screenshot029.jpg

Very unexpected i'd say :eek:


Screenshot031.jpg

Same can be said about this one

This one however, has been expected, since second stable rack (70% of the runs) is droping Monarchs

Im in need of some tips and suggestions.

My multishot bowazon is currently running CS on p5 at a tolerable pace. Any higher i start lacking the damage and run out of arrows more often than id like. For now, i am content on p5 but i know i will have to up the p setting if i go any higher.

In terms of gear upgrades, i am still missing WF and cats eye. Im also looking into pride + gmb faith setup; but missing most of the runes. Charm wise, im running sharp/fines and some rolling some more low lvl gc for better sharps; but do have plenty of other options available like mf and life and resists.

In terms of efficiency, would it be best i stick to highest dps/setting for maximum exp/hr and hoping for drops to come? Or, should i swap out my gear for 300~ mf (via charms and skullders and shako in place of fort and max charms) and run on p1~3 for higher uniques/hr until i get the gears i want?
Pb_pal said:
Personally, I would just keep going with XP as a priority, and drops will come. You could load up on MF like crazy and never see a WF and have nothing but frustration to show for it. Higher /p setting and kill speed will also bolster your shot at runes, so the RW aspect is more achievable.

After being inspired by the posts here, I decided to give this a shot. Been playing a fishymancer since December aiming for 98 (stretch goal 99). Using a plain jane install of D2:LOD 1.14d without modifications. Currently 92 with alright gear; Shako and Homunculus are his best drops to date. He is in hardcore.

I am running p1 Baal (albeit aborting if too many Souls/conviction) and p7 Pits, mixing in and exploring other areas as I fancy. Only 1 near death so far thanks to Nilathak's CE. Not going to attempt MFing him after that experience.

Been a fun ride so far. I've played bnet on & off since 1.09 and playing SP has been vast a departure from "usual" routine of the rushing, botting gear and pub pking. I confess that I've never actually played the game through (only rushed) or played legit (always maphacked) prior to this attempt. I used to view PvM as a sole means to acquire PvP gear... boy was I ignorant.

I'll post again if/when I get there. GL to all in the meanwhile.

First the near-perfect Steeldriver, and now this. If I didn't know better, I'd say the game's telling me to smash. :p

As evidenced above, did a bunch of NM Baal runs yesterday, coupled with Travincal and Eldritch to break from monotony (I think I mentioned before, but the WSK2-3 map is really good); along N and NM I collected a full Iratha's - which was a goal from the start - and made a Smoke, so I'm (technically) good as far as resists go trading difficulties. Once that happens, MF runs take a full stop.

The only ducks I'd like to get in a row before moving on would be a Guillaume's for Olena (so that, coupled with her Duress, she'd proc CB and OW fairly often) and both the Trang'Oul shield - since it's easier to find in NM - and, of course, Homunculus. I've been playing with the idea of a crafted safety amulet as well (assuming I get a decent roll with that +10% block, that's a little more Dexterity I can transfer to Vitality down the road).

Assuming those drop, the idea is that Homunculus gets the other quest socket I've been saving. "Eld" would also shave a few extra Dex points (if I did the math right, 72% natural chance to block requires ~220 Dex; 72% + Eld + Safety Amulet = 89% natural chance, so max block Dex goes to ~180). On the other hand, an extra "Um" that drops along the way... thoughts?

Only one more level up for me since then (can I just mention again how great it is to have found you people? The amount of research you guys put into this quest for 99 is remarkable. Truly remarkable).

@Gynli It seems like that when it comes to Amazons, there are never two users who can agree on gear or skills, so I wanna share my experience as well :)

Mine had WF with Faith merc. It worked quite well I think, but I never got around to trying Might/Reapers merc, which I think could have worked even better. I used Atma's which just obliterated everything in sight, when it triggered, which to my taste was not near enough. I experienced she killed a lot faster with Highlords Vs Atma, so I swapped between them when I encountered PI.

My guess would be, that self wielding Faith and Might + Decrept from Merc, would out damage Faith/WF and the occasional Amp trigger. Or at least give a better killing flow, so to speak. When I wielded Faith, the damage was about the same as WF, only with more AR and speed plus the extra goodies.

I could give this a try, see if I can supply some numbers for you, since it's all guesswork from my side. And this way, you are not dependent on a WF to drop, which could be a quite depressing wait.

Maybe test Highlords Vs Cat's Vs Atma too? Tell me if you are interested in some testing from my side, and what gear, maybe what you are aiming for as end gear, if I have it :)

You do CS, so I also guess you clear RoF on the way up? Do you also kill Diablo?

Regarding if you should hunt for MF, or just keep churning monsters. IMO is this is a matter of taste. I simply could not do area running with my Barb, knowing that he could do it faster with better gear. And some gear upgrade is not that hard to come by, as long as we aren't talking WF, ofc. What gear upgrade are you thinking, besides the amulet?

EDIT: I used my last Baal respec charm, so I will have to make him cough up a new one.

Had some serious luck since last report...more then week without HRs and then two in 100 LK runs and one randomly from Eldritch...And at the same time those i really needed, extremely happy man i'm now ;)

Screenshot035.jpg

Same body, which means, that i've got three HRs from same random object, and only two HRs from superchests (actually, also from only one)

Lately, as i've said, Eldritch dropped one too

As result, i've got these RWs

Eldritch/Shenk are one of my most enjoyable farming spots - I just love the runs, drops aside.
PhineasB said:
With thanks to @Pb_pal for the advice, Phaedrus went back to NM to hire Waheed the might merc, and spent >30 minutes earlier today rolling for a CS map. The current one seems pretty good – it has three shrines with the straight layout for both Vizier and Infector’s arms. Trav has two more shrines within 1-2 teleports of the WP. It also has decent boss density in CS, with a couple stable packs near the pentagram and 1-2 that regularly spawn at Infector’s seal.

I tested out different merc helmet options (Guillame’s & Andy’s) while rolling maps, but quickly went back to Delerium. It makes things more manageable for me so we are going to stick with it. The next step is to do a couple half hour sets of Gripp runs versus p8/p7. The more I look at the numbers at level 97, the more I think p8/p7 could be faster with shrines if I can get better at telestomping de Seis.

* * *

Pestilence has also been plugging away in LK. Since his last update, he had done 2 hours when Phaedrus hit 97, and then another 1.5 hours, with nothing higher than a Lem and a Ko. Usually such stretches are helped by other good finds (charms, etc.) but he found nothing useful aside from those two runes. Well, technically he got a Highlord’s, but he already had one, so that ended up being frustrating more than anything else. Then 4 of 5 successive runs included extra fast might enchanted bosses right outside the first hut (2 with cursed proc happening either from that pack or another), leading to aborted runs without popping a single chest.

Rerolling the LK map was my coping strategy for the frustration :p And after 15 minutes he had a better 2-fire map (much less running) with 6 stable poppables right on his path. The fifth run yielded a Pul, and I was happy until I realized that was only one “level” better than the Lem! :rolleyes: But then the next 5 runs yielded these charms:

That’s what I’m talking about! The next day Sur #3 dropped, although it took a fair bit of work to get it due to the clutter and two boss packs right there. He resurrected the merc, cast a golem, and managed to draw them away without waking up other boss packs for successful retrieval. After that experience, I realized that CtA would make the runs smoother and I had the runes to make it, which it did after I did (meh roll – only +2 BO, although as you will see, I still sometimes forget to cast it).

Over another couple hours, he got Ist #2, a Lo from a corpse, and Pul #5. He also got a Ruby (11) SC of Balance, a Graverobber skiller of Sustenance, and a 40 vita shapeshifting skiller. He also picked up Rising Sun, which makes for 4 unique amulets total (with the 2 Highlords and a Mahim-Oak Curio). The SC is great for a character that will be using Spirit, which he will once he gets Enigma and I find the Monarch base, because the FHR gets the 56 breakpoint with resists in the one element that Spirit doesn’t cover. But the highlight of that stretch was this, making #3:
LK (PnB Skiller of Dext).jpg
Sadly, I mis-keyed N instead of H, and lost the LK map. Killing process didn’t work, so we had to reroll. The second one was another 2-fire map with only a little more running (and no boss packs near fires), so not too bad. But after ~2 hours, nothing of note except two more Ruby SCs (11), one with +6 life. He has stopped picking up flawless gems except amethysts because he was >500 stashed so far from LK. I figured it's time to streamline the rune finding!

Good luck to everyone. Keep up the great progress!

@NamelessPenguin

I forgot i found a reapers just a bit ago; so its reaers on merc, not obedience. The decrep speeds up the kill process quite a bit, especially against PIs or beefy mobs like urdars.

I do clear RoF on the way, but have been rolling a better map for a straighter cut to CS. Hopefully i only get to run past most mobs with a good roll.

Ive been looking at all the comparisons between wf and faith setups; and came to a conclusion that the final gears that i should go for the pride/faith setup with lower dex. WF/faith will be a better setup until i respec to lower dex though.

My bowazon uses multi and no strafe so atma wont proc enough; i also prefer the frw on cats over the marginal deadly strike on the highlords. But its really the 20ias for the extra frame that matters. Id take either one over any other ammys.

Edit: id be interested in a run time comparison for wf/faith vs faith/pride setup on 200-300 dex range with max charms without using strafe. Idk if you have two free respecs available for your test though... =P i have a bunch of andy essences that i can give you if you wish

Klaus has completed his 2nd set of 1000 LK runs!

Run 1023 - Ohm
Run 1153 - Mal
Run 1406 - Mal
Run 1743 - Ist (can now make a CtA without having to cube any runes)
Run 1791 - Pul

Still no Sur over 2k runs, which is not great. Not really a good set rune-wise just in general, really. I'm hoping for some of that "law of averages" and "regression to the mean" stuff to kick in soon. No NDEs this time though, so that's a good thing. ;)

Skillers found:
- Martial Arts
- Poison/Bone
- Fire Skills (Sorc)

Other finds:
- Lidless (poor-man's Spirit! Happy with this for the switch)
- 4os Flail for that Vex we found last set. It's ethereal, but that's alright since we won't ever be whacking anything with it.
- Fine SC of Inertia (not useful for Klaus, but still cool)
- a couple white Monarchs to re-roll (from the same corpse too, hopefully that continues!)
ffs said:
Cool @Pb_pal, definitely a bit unlucky with Surs not dropping yet, but that Jah on your way to LK will probably still mean a very quick Enigma nonetheless. Also again nice progress @PhineasB!

I'm back from vacation and finally started running with HelpYourself again. I had hoped to make good progress again now, after over a month of barely any due to a tough work schedule and then vacation. Of course, now with @Grape hosting the RFL, that seems to be getting in her way yet again. :mad: But will try to hit 2/3 of 99 with her before that, and I plan to run with Ric a lot during RFL, so hopefully a couple of updates in here as well soon!

If you are worried that I will catch you ... you don't have to be ;). I haven't been playing much, only 15 minutes here and 30 minutes there. As a consequence I only just passed the 3.350M mark, so only at level 98.42 or so. With the RFL around the corner (not even that, I can already see it at the horizon !!!), Neverland won't see much playing time in the next weeks as well. If I get triple Zods in the first hours of the area leg of the RFL, I'll do the rest of that leg with Neverland running Nihl, but I don't count on it ... :rolleyes:.

O yes, @Pb_pal I hear you on the Sur. I think I have yet to find my first Sur in LK. Last time I ran that area, I did 2000+ runs without a single HR, only to get a ... Vex. So next time I'll do that area, I'll have to bring an umbrella for all the HRs raining from the skies !!!

Talking about complaining ... Since it always works, I'm officially complaining now that Nihl has been very stingy so far when it comes to runes, with (iirc) only a Jah and a Vex getting from 98 to 98.42. No other HRs, almost no runes Pul+, and lately not even Io+. Thank you ;) :).
ffs said:
I would guess the "complaining helps" rule does not apply for people who complain about "only finding Jahs", but I'm curious to see this put to the test now by @T72on1 and @Pb_pal :)

Wouldn't mind if you caught me @T72on1! Just haven't been progressing as much as I'd like with her so I really want to go for the final push. I might actually delay my RFL start a bit to show her some love. ;)
NamelessPenguin said:
@Gynli I don't have a spare respec, nor do I have a "Pride" polearm. I ditched the idea, when you said you were going Pride merc, but now I have become curious my self :) It won't be this time around, though, as my sea trip ends in two days, and I plan to keep the save files on the ship. But maybe will I have time to do a test to night. It should be possible.

Had a pretty good set of LK runs. Over the last three weekends found two Sur runes, a Vex, and two Ber runes. Now that I am set for Enigma on my next character, I am just farming for Lo to finish fortitude. Then on to CS.

@Gynli did some runs last night on P8, comparing WF Vs +14 "Faith" Shadow bow, and I must say Faith beats WF, hands down. Funny though, as the damage was about 1K lower (IIRC). Also had Cats Eye in backpack, but I soon found the extra DS to be quite helpful. Chance to hit was 91% with maxed Penetrate, and 81% with WF.

Maybe I didn't give WF a fair chance, as I didn't hit the same (9 FPA?) breakpoint, but in order to do that, I would probably have to wear Trechary.

Merc had eReapers, Trechary and Gaze, which worked perfect, IMO. When Decrept triggered, stuff broke like glass. I tried to use MS as much as possible, but when the monsters weren't dense, it simply was not effective enough due to no Decrept. But damn the seal packs wen't down fast with MS + Decrept! :eek: Just like playing a caster.

Mission was to have 1200 life with BO (rolled a +6 BO CtA for this task :D), this however wore out pretty often, as the runs weren't super fast. Dex was in the 310 range with gear, level 87. Terrible resists.

If Faith was made in a GMB, this would speed things up even more. Had I knew this, i never would have made it in a Shadow Bow.

Don't have any times to add, since it was just gear testing last night.

Let me know If you would like me to test something specific.

Setup was

Andy "IAS"
Fortitude
Faith
Razortail
LoH
Highlords (!)
War Traveler
Raven
ML% ring
As many +dmg charms as possible (mainly from my untwinked barb, so nothing fancy)
Gheed's

EDIT: Timed two runs to be around 6 mins, so not fast by any means. This was with RoF on P1, then killing everything in sight in CS at P8, and Big D on P1. He's a pain on P7 :eek: The time could probably be lower with more practice, and maybe skipping DeSis + Diablo. Now I'm curious to see if Faith/WF actually can beat this time.

Same here. I don't know what is it about the knuckleheads that make them just so enjoyable to kill.

MF runs haven't been very productive - only interesting update was a Serpent's Charm that, after 4~5 rerolls, turned into a Graverobber's of Strength +6.

This reminds me I need to start restocking gems.
ffs said:
Just in time for the RFL start, HelpYourself made it two thirds of the way.

12_two thirds.png

Apart from that, not much to report. Gear and runs remained unchanged pretty much. Things were going fast and smooth again after her break. Drops weren't too exciting but decent, including my overall last TC3 grailer which was pretty cool:

And this is it!

12_ToI.png

Actually one gear upgrade but didn't change any stats, perfect Nature's:

12_perfect nature's.png

12_Mal.png

SoJ #3 for her! Been looking for the first +1 ring for so long, now she has 4 of them...

12-SoJ #3.png

Similarly, Maras #4:

12_Maras 22@.png

Couple nice rares:

12_barb 2-10-@ ammy.png
12_stat ring.png

No idea what this facet was because, for the first time with a potentially very good drop on the ground, Delirium bug crashed the game... I guess she's ok with that, given she's had much worse experiences with that bug. :)

12_Delirium fail RBF.png

Apart from that, she found another cold skiller, and two 3/4 facets (lightning and cold).

Sooo, with that out of the way, time for the RFL! And for to Ric commit some animal cruelty. Moo!

Okay experts. Playing pure blizzard sorc. I have been collecting runes for Fortitude to put on my Merc before proceeding. Then I thought why not CoH? So why not? Which is better for the end game?
PhineasB said:
I found delirium on the merc very helpful in CS and then Nihl, and CoH is needed for the life leech with that set up (assuming Infinity or Insight). A pure blizz sorc will generally go Gripp runs to 98 (2-seal CS runs), so merc doesn't need to kill immunes. So I'd go with CoH.
kyndig said:
Thanks! That was my thought as well.
kyndig said:
Sorry for the double post. Just wanted to share some progress after sitting in LK forever. I took PhineasB advice and crafted a CoH and Delirium for my Merc. Then pushed through Act 4 like butter. My forge only dropped Io. I am now trying to learn the fine art of Gripp runs. May take a bit, but I think I can do it fairly fast. Thanks again for your help. Below for your visual enjoyment.

Made these for my Merc.

Made this one for me. Not sure if I am going to use this or stick with Tals. Thought I would give it a whirl though:

I will updated my progress when I lvl 92. Probably next weekend as I am heading out to Cabo tomorrow. Peace out.

When this dropped, my brain didn't register that it was the exceptional one (been a bit of a tough week, so let that one slide, ladies and gents). Thought: "Well, I can always find a place on the shelf for a Wormskull."

Pretty, pretty. :)

Time for an update for the week, which is pretty limited due to a busy work week and RFL round 1. Phaedrus got minimal playtime and is now maybe 10M into level 97.

Pestilence continued to plug away at LK, generally in 20-30 minute spells. He picked up another Graverobber skiller with a little life shortly after the last update. I had a really long work day on Tuesday, and decided to play 30 minutes to wind down before bed: Sur #4 dropped, which was really nice. With cubing everything Fal+, the Lo from earlier is Sur #5, so only one Sur from Enigma now!

Um #4 fell the next morning in the 15 minutes while I had my second cup of coffee, followed by a Gul the next evening in about 45 minutes of running before bed.

That was followed by a pretty long dry spell, but Gul #2 eventually fell (he had to pick up some gold after seeing an orange flash). Finished up for the week with Um #5 after an even longer dry spell earlier today -- including 15 straight runs without a rune and then 10 runs without a rune shortly after that. I figure things will pick up soon to even things out and that Ber will drop!

@Gynli did some runs last night on P8, comparing WF Vs +14 "Faith" Shadow bow, and I must say Faith beats WF, hands down. Funny though, as the damage was about 1K lower (IIRC). Also had Cats Eye in backpack, but I soon found the extra DS to be quite helpful. Chance to hit was 91% with maxed Penetrate, and 81% with WF.

Maybe I didn't give WF a fair chance, as I didn't hit the same (9 FPA?) breakpoint, but in order to do that, I would probably have to wear Trechary.

Merc had eReapers, Trechary and Gaze, which worked perfect, IMO. When Decrept triggered, stuff broke like glass. I tried to use MS as much as possible, but when the monsters weren't dense, it simply was not effective enough due to no Decrept. But damn the seal packs wen't down fast with MS + Decrept! :eek: Just like playing a caster.

Mission was to have 1200 life with BO (rolled a +6 BO CtA for this task :D), this however wore out pretty often, as the runs weren't super fast. Dex was in the 310 range with gear, level 87. Terrible resists.

If Faith was made in a GMB, this would speed things up even more. Had I knew this, i never would have made it in a Shadow Bow.

Don't have any times to add, since it was just gear testing last night.

Let me know If you would like me to test something specific.

Setup was

Andy "IAS"
Fortitude
Faith
Razortail
LoH
Highlords (!)
War Traveler
Raven
ML% ring
As many +dmg charms as possible (mainly from my untwinked barb, so nothing fancy)
Gheed's

EDIT: Timed two runs to be around 6 mins, so not fast by any means. This was with RoF on P1, then killing everything in sight in CS at P8, and Big D on P1. He's a pain on P7 :eek: The time could probably be lower with more practice, and maybe skipping DeSis + Diablo. Now I'm curious to see if Faith/WF actually can beat this time.
I must've missed this when i read through the posts. Much thanks for testing them out! =D

I'm running w/ a 12 Faith Shadow bow with only MS; and the run times are quite a bit slower for me at around 4~5 min per run for just the double-seals on /p8. I do run through RoF killing everything on /p8 though. Interesting to hear that you can notice the difference between Highlords and Cat's eye. Maybe I've undervalued DS with CS too much.

If it's not too much to ask, could you try out the Faith/WF combo? With Fana and WF, the killing speed will definitely see a huge jump; but perhaps a bit slower against stone skins. My main concern is if the trade off of losing the meat shields (merc as well as the skellies) is worth the speed gained.

Faith/WF combo does allow me to go w/ the Fana + Fleshripper/SS on switch for the big D. IIRC I get the max 7 fpa poke with any lvl of Fana and it comes with a good chunk of target slow + crushing blow; so it should definitely be faster than trying to shoot him down w/ strafe. Also that strafe lock against the lightning hose is too risky. =P I could even Ber the dagger for extra CB? Provided I find it of course. lol

EDIT: grats on the 6 BO =D

Right?! Couldn't believe that 20% and the 8% life steal. :)

Last night Baal also dropped a BK ring (3%, but I'm not about to go melee often, so that's one of the endgame rings solved) and a Bartuc's (if anyone has interest on that one for another project, let me know). I'll edit this post with screenshots when I get home (by the way, can I extract that fingerprint info the way some of you post it from Atma, or do I have to use GoMule?).

Yup. That's on "H" being the eigth Latin alphabet word, and a certain salute that used two words starting with "H"... :/
 
NamelessPenguin said:
@Gynli I'd be happy to test it. I did a few pratice runs last night, and already there did I find it inferior. The Decrept from Reapers is just to tough to beat. I thought about trying it with Atma's, which also means I will have to use Strafe, but I assume you are interested in finding the fastest route. I am at least interested in it :)

4-5 mins is not a bad time at all, which makes sense, since we are almost using the same gear.
Gynli said:
@NamelessPenguin Hmm.. I'm glad and disappointed at the same time. How much slower was it? I"m glad I don't have to look for WF anymore; but disappointed there won't be much of an upgrade from here on out. I guess if anything, WF/Faith setup could see some use when someone's running p1/7 at higher levels.

For myself, next item on the list should be a new Faith in a GMB. Had couple GMBs drop already but none of them turned out to be 4 sockets...

Thanks alot! =D

If you're in 1.14d, I've got this if you want. I've no use for it, there's no way I'll ever put in the time to find the runes.

Code:
Superior Grand Matron Bow
Two Hand Damage: 15 - 79
Durability: 52 of 55
Required Level: 58
Required Strength: 108
Required Dexterity: 152

Item Level: 86
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+3 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon Only)
10% Enhanced Damage
+3 to Attack Rating
4 Sockets (0 used)
@Jocular Thanks but no thanks. It is an untwinked challenge afterall. =D

EDIT: It is a nice GMB though.
ffs said:
Personally I prefer the WF + Faith Merc setup for Bowazon. Thing about Decrepify is yes it is extremely strong of course, but you always have to wait for Merc to hit something, and can't direct him of course. I found runs to be slower because of that, as mostly by the time it triggers, I felt I would have killed the mob with other setup. I must admit though never tried on high player settings, I can see Decrepify being very handy there. @Gynli but anyway I guess you have the option to test it if (or when!) you find WF. :)

@kyndig - Eleanor used Delerium/CoH/Insight(and later Infinity) on her merc to great success. It's a really solid combination and the merc should be quite sturdy. Well done. :)

This was all the way on page 2. Can't have that, now can we, even with RFL in progress? Major update incoming!

Pestilence continued his LK runs as a break from Cow runs, usually in sets of 25 runs. After the last Um, 150 runs with nothing higher than a Hel. Within the next 50 runs, Pul #6 dropped.

This morning, after doing another 30 minutes of Cows with the fire Sorc, we decided to hit LK again, with Sur #5 dropping on run #15. So we loaded up the inventory and cube (a few gems were hiding in the cube along with three more Fals):
Enigma Prep.jpg
Enigma Prep 2.jpg
Enigma.jpg
Now that's nice! :cool: I didn't keep track of total runs or runes found. I'm pretty sure he farmed his Enigma quite a bit faster than Phaedrus, who needed >4000 LK runs. In all, the third untwinked Enigma in this challenge. I'm pretty sure I'm going to see Pestilence through the end after the effort, although that may be a long ways off. :rolleyes:

He's going to spend some time leveling in the Pits as a break from Cows until I complete that 20-hour set. He has a great LK map for teleporting, so he will also probably return there because he burned through all runes Fal+ except two Puls and an Um. Once I finish the RFL set, Phaedrus will get back in the rotation and push to 3.0B.

Still no luck with the drops I'm looking for, but if anyone needs Tal Rasha's mask, I'm your guy: 5 or 6 of those in the last week, it's ridiculous; other than that, two interesting finds and a *really* interesting one.

I was a bit jaded when I lost my Duriel's shell from the crash and then the Rune hunting tourney is going on so I haven't had much time to play the 99er and update the thread. Well, after waking up at 4:30 this morning with a 7 mo. old who is suffering from allergies and is quite miserable, I got him some medicine and he went back to sleep but I couldn't. Leveled up my Sin to 70 and change. No deaths, nothing fun dropped and I got all the way up to Countess with a Hel quest drop. :( I'll take a nice drop any day now.

I guessed on my XP. When I get home I'll update it with the correct amount.

I really want to get an entry in here as I ditched my javazon when I moved to HC only - so I may well lose whatever entry I come up with :p It won't be until late April, but I'm thinking potentially a trapsin or a wind druid.

After making his Enigma, Pestilence respeced to a poisonmancer and hit the Pits. He’s now level 89 with some nice finds along the way, serving as a bit of a distraction from finishing my 20 hour set of Cows in RFL.

He went p3 for 82-83, p5 for 83-85, p7 for 85-87, and p8 for the last two levels. One death due to sloppy teleporting into a fanaticism pack while amp'ed. At level ** he got revives, which really increase the safety. Definitely wish that I had respec'ed differently and had them from the start.

As for the finds, at level 83, he found a 29@ 2os CoA. It’s the best option for the merc at the moment with two ruby jewels for extra damage:

Shortly after that, he found an eth Giant Thresher, which got 4os in the cube! :cool: This led to a nice Insight upgrade:
Insight.jpg
He had good Monarch luck along the way, socketing white Monarchs as he went, with the third one getting 4os, leading to a 31 FCR Spirit. An Um fell at level 86 (along with another 3 white Monarchs that didn’t cube with 4 sockets).

At level 87, we burned through 7M gold (that he had accumulated from picking up wands and 2x1 orbs in LK) gambling for coronets , netting a +3 PnB/8 PDR coronet that he wore until Shako dropped right before leveling. He pinged level 89, with 2 more Monarchs missing out on 4os (one in the cube and one dropped with 3os) and finally rolling a second 4os right near the end. After 8 rolls, he finally had a 35 FCR Spirit, with a 34 FCR now on switch.

I am going to finish the RFL set and then level him to 90. After that, I plan to get back to Phaedrus and try to hit 3.0B before the start of RFL Rd 2.

It has gone a bit quiet in here, but I'm glad we can always count on @PhineasB to keep the ball rolling. :) Also honestly congrats on the eth GS, given so many of us here had issues finding a good 4os eth polearm base. CoA is a really nice find also!

Not much 99er action for me after I finished the first RFL set with Ric. Posted his findings in the RFL round 1 thread, no XP gain of course. :) After that I ran more cows with a second character, and now I was traveling for the Easter weekend, so definitely losing sight of the prime 99er mission a bit. ;) I'll probably run some more RFL until round 1 ends on Thursday, but will then go back and try to nudge HelpYourself a bit further. Ric will most likely get a break until RFL round 3, I intend to run Pits with him for that anyway.

@PhineasB is certainly alfa male of this (hopefully one day) lvl99 Wolf pack:)

As for me, being father, husband, leader of the maintenance at job and ofcourse strongman and powerlifter( unfortunately only occasionally these days), i have very limited time for this quest, however i'm still trying to do my best...Though, it seems its not enough...

From last report, very few things have changed, gained another level (89 right now), mostly on Pindleskin, and ran LK without any success...or almost any

This MAL is actually fourth for Kaira, and dropped from bird boss, not from chest...also, found probably the best (most usefull at least) vita skiller in my entire career, however still no improvement for my poor trapper

As for finds from Pindleskin, only one item is worth to be mentioned...Not surprising fact i think, as i ran him with only 100% MF...

Funny and unexpected, as this item is first from Mavinas set :D

Thanks to @ffs and @RIP for posting. I didn’t want three consecutive posts within a week because it would look like spam :p But after this last stretch of drops, I’m ready to update.

Here’s a teaser:
ffs said:
You really need to learn how to find rare items with the right characters, come on. Death's Web with Pally and Trapper instead of your Necro? Griffons with Pally instead of your Lightning Sorc? Fathom twice with what ended up as a Lightning Sorc, wasn't it? Seriously? :p
With the luck bestowed by @ffs complaining on my behalf, here’s the update. :)

Pestilence started off nicely for level 89-90, with Arachnid’s dropping and then an Ohm right at the end. A second Um also dropped earlier in the level.

The Ohm has been stashed in case we get a second before getting a Lo. Fortitude for the merc would be a major upgrade, I’d wager, and the +1 BO CtA is fine for now because he completes his Pit runs well before the timer runs out and he’s plenty safe with the revives. And as for the Arachnid’s, with my history, that was awesome to get before level 90!

This enabled him to hit 125 FCR breakpoint and was very powerful even with only three skillers and no +skill rings (the amulet was a 1 necro/10 FCR rare to hit the breakpoint). As long he had some revives, he could basically telestomp boss packs to start spamming pNova and have the merc and IG target the boss to get a quick 2-3 corpses for the corpse explosion chain.

He has what I think is a good Pit map, with high boss pack density and XP gain is pretty quick. It was enough fun that he pressed on and just hit level 93. One 4os monarch dropped early, which he’s been Hel’ing and rerolling for 12 tries without a second 35 FCR (two 34 rolls though).

Level 90-91 saw Duriel’s shell and Tal’s mask, which were upgrades for the merc. For level 91-92, he got trolled for the first time with a rare unearthed wand, followed by a nice +3 pNova wand that I thought about tossing in the cube but held off. Then on the second-to-last run before hitting 92:

Death's Web
Unearthed Wand
One Hand Damage: 22 - 28
Durability: 18 of 18
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 25

Pretty amazing to have Shako, Arachnid’s and now Dweb at level 92! :cool: I had planned to go back to Phaedrus after hitting the level, but we had to test out the shiny new toy.

He’d have to lose his current map seed to socket the wand, which he isn’t willing to do. It would probably get an Ist otherwise, which I can cube up to from the Um- runes, so only 25 MF lost in order to keep this great Pit map and the LK map where he will return once hitting level 93. Losing resists from HoTo caused some gear tradeoffs, but he couldn’t reach 125 FCR so that allowed him to make some lightning resists up (and another +skill) by going back to Highlord’s. The rest was handled with charms, mainly a plain Ruby (30) GC.

The other set up might actually be a wee bit faster due to the 125 FCR breakpoint and being able to play more recklessly with telestomping. But we have to keep the current set up on principle! Infinity would likely push the current set up ahead, with several elite 4os polearms available for Insight IG. Andy’s dropped early on for level 92-93, which upgraded the merc nicely. Still looking for a Lo for Fortitude (and eventually Infinity) but the upgrade was noticed. Stats at level 93.

Other finds worthy of screenshots during this stretch were Trangs helm, Tancred’s boots, the set Corona, Tomb Reaver (2os), Horizon’s Tornado, Stone Crusher, and a 5os eth Berserker Axe (which I think is only the second of those I’ve ever found, including cubing plain eth ones).

He’s now going to burn through 115 pamethysts and then hit up LK for a while, remembering to pick up Spirit and Insight makings as he goes, in addition to Ko+ (and hopefully some resist charm upgrades). Then we will return to Phaedrus to hopefully hit 3.0B sometime this weekend before rolling a Trav map with my Blizz sorc for RFL Round 2.

Wow, major congrats!! Those P&B Vita skillers and that DWeb, it seems like Pestilence will casually end up as a perfectly geared Novamancer! Now it's just the minor task of crafting a 2/20, took me only a couple of years. ;)

Those best in slot finds for the character played, that's what makes untwinked play so exciting IMO. For my Sorc it was especially after finding Griffon's Eye when I really got motivated for this project. But finding DWeb on an untwinked Necro is even more amazing. Ric has found an incredible amount of magic/rare Unearthed Wands since he started to run Pits, about ~10 or so, but no luck with that unique one. Now you really have to see him through, no matter how slowly he will level towards the end! :D

EDIT: Interesting to see that "complaining on behalf of others" is a sustainable theory as well, glad it helped! Also without spoiling anything, I actually have video proof with Ric that complaining helps, but that's not to be released before end of RFL round 1. :p

Congrats, really nice drop ;)
PhineasB said:
Um, so things are getting kind of ridiculous for Pestilence :D
Screenshot002.jpg
That was the second batch of 9 caster amulet crafts. I check at the end of the batch, but it was the second one of the second batch, so craft #11 overall because I waited until he hit level 93 to start crafting.

I had a stash full of gold so decided to start gambling coronets/circlets, hoping to luck out with a 2 necro/20 FCR rare or 3 PnB/20 FCR magic.
Screenshot003.jpg
That's after less than 1.5M gold. Both can obviously be upgraded, the circlet in particular with another +skill and any useful mods. But he can now reach the 125 FCR breakpoint with DWeb using one of the several FCR rings he has picked up.

I have no idea where this stretch of luck came from. It's on par with the stretch of LK runs I had with Mercy and a similar stretch with Phaedrus (although his was after nearly 2000 of not much). Either way, I'll just chalk it up to balancing out luck from RFL Round 1. ;)
ffs said:
Are you serious, no way! That is unbelievable that you crafted that amulet, amazing. Maybe even more so than the DWeb actually. Huge congrats! :) With a 2/20 circlet that has any other mod, Pestilence will have better overall gear than my twinked Novamancer, which is actually one of my best geared characters. :mad:

PhineasB said:
Both can obviously be upgraded

Yeah, right! Well the circlet of course, but the fact that you seem to refer to the amulet also... 2/20s are so incredibly rare, and the relevant upgrade for Necro being exactly 20 (not 19).. pushing it, my friend! ;)
PhineasB said:
Yeah, I was kidding (mostly) about the amulet. I don't actually have any other 2/20 ones, after however many crafts of pamethysts happened from my 7x7 and prior 99ers. And it's great the first was for the class where that roll actually matters most, given FCR breakpoint and likely gear options, not to mention on an untwinked character.

But Pestilence still has 97 pamethysts to burn through, so a guy can dream, can't he? :p
ffs said:
Still disgusted by that kind of RNG, seriously. Speechless!

I thought Ric defied all odds when finding the two back to back Zods. But IMO that is nothing in comparison to successive Death's Web and a 2/20 on an untwinked Necromancer. But given your effort in this challenge, you're definitely precisely the right person to deserve that kind of luck! :)

2/20s I crafted three, all of them within the last year. Luckily also one for Necro (P&B), who needs that exact roll for it to be a clear-cut upgrade. Other two were also interesting with Pally and Amazon, the latter being my favorite since it allowed an amazing Javazon setup.

Time to pack it in boys, @PhineasB has taken all the luck available from all the d2 player base.
*impersonating a security officer* Nothing to see here, move along, folks.
Also that's some pretty alright gear you have there. Obvious understatement is obvious.

In all seriousness, that's quite impressive. Congratulations, hero!

My thoughts exactly, as i'm unable to find runes higher then LO and anything usefull with Kaira ;) :D

Complaining helps theory confirmed once again :D

This time, i had unbelievable amount of luck in LK...Just within 50 runs i've found those runes

Finally moved forward, however still far away from much needed Infinity...well, a good start at least, can try to roll CtA for second time, if i find the base item ;)

Back to weekly updates, at least until something awesome drops for Pestilence (actually, check!).

Before that, though, thanks to everyone for the congrats and encouragement (even if some of it’s sort of sarcastic :p). I agree with @ffs that finding items untwinked is special. With the last two updates, I had stare-at-screen moments while I processed what I was seeing, especially that 2/20. That’s such a fun experience and helps balance out the stretches of nothing in the push to 99. It’s definitely nice to share the excitement with others, so thanks (again) to the SPF for being the SPF!

Phaedrus is moving again, up to a bit past 3.0B. We rerolled the CS map due to spawn around de Seis (lots of OKs regularly). For now, we’re doing straight p8/p8 runs to save the key strokes for Diablo, with XP shrines rolling about a fifth of the time in CS or from the 2 shrines right by Dark Marsh WP. Minimal drops were Blinkbat and Archnid #2.

He’s averaging about 5M/hr, which is pretty solid compared to earlier 99ers. I’m not going to bother testing Gripphon runs because I’d have to roll a new map to get better boss pack density between the seals. At least for now, taking on de Seis and Diablo is a fun change of pace, so I'm going to enjoy that for as long as it lasts.

I’m going to do at least one 20 hour set with Phaedrus from RFL Rd 3, and maybe going for 2 sets, which will put him right at level 98 if I complete 40 hours, assuming I can get another 4 hours between now and the start of the Rd 3. I’m optimistic.

Pestilence also has made some progress, a little more than half way to level 94. He started back in LK, hoping for some progress toward Infinity. Not quite, but good nonetheless with an early Pul #7, followed by Gul #3, and then a bit of a dry spell before Mal #4 and Vex #4 dropped within 30 minutes of each other.

We eventually got tired of LK and decided to test out the new 125 FCR rig, much to the good. :D About a tenth of the way into the level, lightning struck and we had our fourth PnB skiller (from a bosspack). Shortly after that, Darkforce Spawn dropped, which is an overall grailer and brings me to grail -5. :cool: I almost felt like I should use it, given the class-specific-ness, but I’d have to add another FCR ring and lose a bunch of FHR. Maybe later!

An Ist dropped shortly after, along with an eth Dusk Shroud that rolled 4os in the cube for a nice Fortitude base. I can actually cube the Lo, but I’m holding out until the end of the level in the hopes something (else) nice drops. In case you're worried the luck is too much, we are on reroll #19 for the 4os Monarch without 35 FCR. :rolleyes:

Keep up the progress everyone!

I would guess the "complaining helps" rule does not apply for people who complain about "only finding Jahs", but I'm curious to see this put to the test now by @T72on1 and @Pb_pal :)
Hint: as others have recently found, it works ;)


After 2k+ runs without anything higher than Ohm (and a full thousand since the last one of those, mind you) our dear friend Klaus had his complaining pay off:

Run 2151:

Not the Sur I was asking for, but I'll take it! Klaus' rune luck has been... strange, to say the least.

As can be expected, this prompted the making of the ultimate game-changer:

Klaus was having fun shoving rocks into things so he also made himself a HoTo:

Nice roll!


And a CtA:

Incredible roll!!! WHAT IS GOING ON.


I was originally going to stick in LK until I had all the runes for Infinity, but I don't have an elite base yet for it so I decided to take a break from LK and progress through the game a bit. Klaus got outfitted with all his new toys for the 99%FCR (11 frame) breakpoint and teleported his way to Izual, grabbed a Lum from the HF, and promptly got completely roadblocked in the CS.

To be honest I was expecting this. Native FIs everywhere, a weak merc, and an underleveled character with bad resists complicate things. Klaus was able to teleport his way sneakily through the actual CS easily enough, and it was fairly simple (though dangerous) to clear Vizier and De Seis seals as long as he was careful. Infector though, is another story. His whole mob is FI, and dangerous. Add in FI Doom Knights lingering around and you're gonna have a bad time.

Klaus shopped a LR wand, but it wasn't strong enough to break any immunities. After a pile of unsuccessful tries he managed to maroon the pack across the lava:

In a delicate dance, we could edge towards the corner and sucker 1 Venom Lord at a time to come over, which the merc and bear could easily dispose of. It was precarious though since I hadn't cleared the CS, so I couldn't move back out into the open space if things got dangerous here, lest I attract dozens of more FI monsters to join the fun. I also couldn't go too far into the Seal area, as if the whole Infector pack came round the corner we'd lose the only stable position we had been able to establish thus far.

After killing off a couple minions we caught a huge break and Infector himself came over! The bear pinned him to the wall and the merc (with help from volcano's currently pitiful physical component) took him out. Time for Diablo.

As often is the case, the fight with Big D was anticlimactic compared to the leadup. We got the merc inside his lightning's range, and he could even survive 2 of Diablo's Firestorms before needing a purple. Soon enough, we had outlasted him and it was off to Harrogath.

Klaus teleported straight to the Crystalline Passage without stopping, got a fortuitous monster roll with no FIs and shortly found the WP and Frozen River. No FIs down there either (gloams though, so we had to be careful) and soon Anya was saved, we got our resistance scroll, and opened the portal to Pindle's garden.

Klaus will take a break here, and will be getting very cozy with Pindle for the next little while to gain some much needed levels. Not going to bother with the table for now since he'll be leveling so much soon, but for the record he is level 79 right now.

Other finds:
- Steel (93AR) GC of Balance (12FHR)
- Offensive Auras SkillerS (7 FRW)
- Combat Skills (Paladin) Skiller
- Dwarf Star

I fired up Diablo 2 with a 7 month old on my lap about 1:00 AM local time this morning because he wanted to be awake. I looked at my 99er and I wasn't feeling the love so SliceNDice is forever retired. Her 99 stash has been integrated with my regular GoMule stash and she will finish her Matriarch journey twinked. That left my bereft of a runner and I knew I wanted one that I was happy with. So I went back with my favorite. Fireball/orber. TheLongRun began with /p8 at Tristram and rescued Cain about 1 hour later at level 13. I'm feeling much better about this one.

So I finally quit procrastinating and transferred my .d2s and .d2x files to the new PC. I'm very pleased to say that all loading screen delays, FPS issues, and 100% consistent client crash @ 10 runs (yes, this is something that actually happened every time on my old laptop..) are completely gone and I couldn't be happier with the new setup.

I haven't played very much at all in the last month or so but here's a few shots from this morning with updated XP bars:
Lebron's next target is Hell LK and I'll be attempting to progress soon. Sophie is running P8 2-Seal CS to 98 and then we'll test out some Nihlathak.

And we did a few P8 2 seal runs to knock some rust off and establish a rough XP/hour. I feel like 6m/hour is definitely manageable untwinked at 97 as I was trying to remember where packs were often spawning on my map seed and I let the merc die a few times not paying attention etc.

Random drop while testing runs, decisions decisions...

Great stuff @RIP and especially @Pb_pal, grats of course in particular on Enigma, but the +6 CtA is amazing too (HelpYourself has made six of those with +5 being the best outcome). This would be the point at the latest where I'd be like "why on earth did I make a hardcore character, this is going to be so painful at some point"... but I trust you're a more cautious player than I am. ;)

Also nice to see you getting back to it @Yng!

Between the RFL rounds I've fooled around doing Travincal runs with several characters (trying out builds other than Blizzard or WW Barb), instead of doing what I should have done and get back to this prime mission. :) However, both Ric and HelpYourself got at least a little bit of play time last week.

Ric, being only one Sur away from Infinity after RFL round 1, has rolled a two campfire LK map again and is working on getting that final major runeword. For RFL/Travincal I will "only" do one set and then try to get his final Sur/Ber before the third round starts. I intend to run Pits with Ric for that, of course ideally with Infinity already made.

HelpYourself is moving slowly, realistically she will only pick up pace again after RFL ends. At that point I will focus on her 100% though, I'm a bit annoyed by the fact that she barely made any progress the last couple of months due to a tough work schedule, vacation and now RFL. It should take no more than 25-30 hours for her to hit 99 (assuming no deaths) so it's really about time to finish this after the RFL. :)

Don't tell that to Stevesy! ;) In all seriousness though, Oak + CtA should hopefully be enough to cover up any mjaor slip-ups. Hopefully...
