Welcome to the Round 2 results thread! Quite a round, with a clear winner (but no 1.07 shenanigans) and then very competitive and closely contended for spots 2-8, with only decimal places separating scoring results.

4th! My twins for the points #StillAmazed! Here's my usual disclosure video :)


Pul dropped at 1:50
Ohm dropped at 06:57
Gul dropped at 09:18
Chams dropped at 13:23 and 15:42 (!)

Congrats to everyone, especially Jah and Ber droppers: I now have to find out what to do with Chams in HC...I guess Infinity is not an option!

Thanks @PhineasB for hosting, and see you on round 3 with my SC sorceress I guess...would be a mess to have a char named Tournamenteress without participation!
 
20 hour set not submitted (15 qualifiers, top 5: Sur, Sur, Vex, Ohm, Ohm):
Screenshot590.jpg

10 hour set submitted (top 5: Ber, Lo, Vex, Gul, Gul):
Screenshot605.jpg

The Lo and Ber dropped in the first 2 hours. Two Guls came at about the 5 hour mark, and the Vex was a buzzer beater not long before midnight. Too bad there wasn't enough time to finish this set.

Doubled my score from last year, and didn't end up in last place like in round 1 so very happy. Have enough runes now to make Infinity for my Lightning Sorceress who has been stuck in Act 1 hell.
 
I ran with sorceress, mostly p3, but also tried p5 setting. My goal at 10 hours mark was to complete more than 4500 fullclear runs. Number of runs done I checked with xp method since I didn't use runcounter. I also did one set, but highly focused set to get it done.

p3 fullclear runs done: 3949 (10% nodrop chance)
p5 fullclear runs done: 630 (2.7% nodrop chance) same as 681 p3 runs
Translating it to p3 fullclear runs, I get 4630 done.

As for real amount of runs done, I can only guess. Assuming I skip one minion every 15 runs, I get total number of runs done to be 4658. Assuming skipping one in 12 runs, I get 4665 runs. For some medium value we can take 4660, give or take 10.

Average number of qualifiers for this amount of runs would fall to 24.5, I found 33 which puts me 8.5 above average. As for the quality, I think it was average if we look at the score and amount of runs done, or way below average if we look it from perspective of quantity of qualifiers. Ber rune dropped among last runes. If it didn't, I would end up barely in top 10. I believe this tells enough how unimportant killing speed really is. Sorc of 15s runtime has similar winning odds as sorc doing it in 20 pretty much because runes either drop, or they don't :)

Qualifiers: 5x Pul, 7x Um, 2x Mal, 7x Ist, 4x Gul, 4x Vex, Lo, Ber, Jah
Total qualifiers: 33
Total RFO qualifiers: 28
RFO score: 222.9

Spirit
Snowclash
Hellmouth
Wisp Projector
beta BKWB (SoJ for p5)
rare boots MF/FRW/resists

Inventory: Gheed, 6x skillers, Mana/Life GC, MF/mana/res SCs
Total MF: 186
Blizzard damage: almost 11k

I also did HoR attempt on p5 wit this sorc

SC sorceress
Category: p3 Travincal, but it was run on p5
Runs done: 100
Gems: no
Picked stuff: small charms, rare jewels, no uniques dropped this time
Minions skipped (xp method): 12
Total time: 25 min 44 s
Average time: 15.44 s
Average full clear time p5: 15.610 s
p3 nodrop chance: 10%, drop chance 90%
p5 nodrop chance: 2.7%, drop chance 97.3%
Average full clear time for p3: 14.439 s
CAT time: 14.439 s

For the next time I would likely run on p5 as my average for p5, not counting HoR attempt, was ~16.2 seconds which would translate to ~15s p3 running. I can't do 15s on p3, but doing 16s on p5 is not that hard. So, I guess my goal for the next time might be to come closer to 4800 p3 fullclear runs done? We shall see. Either that or I will use full 420 MF sorc since with the same sorc I easily manage 16s p3 running which is more than solid enough.

Thank you for reading and see you in the third round, although I plan on doing the typical Pitzerking for it same as the last time
 
Congrats @art_vandelay for taking the round, and everyone else who found some good stuff. I was surprised to make top 10 having only run about half a set and mediocre drops, but I guess that one Jah (my first drop also) helped a bit.

My modest haul pic from 12 hours of running:

Screenshot 2020-05-02 at 09.41.58.png

I started way too late, didn't really feel like playing D2 the last couple of weeks. So in order to speed up runs ever so slightly, I ran with a fully offensive setup with Fathom, Nightwing's and Blizzard Ormus, faceted in each case. As mentioned in the running thread, this only resulted in a tiny improvement. Her standard setup with Shako, WT, 2/20 amulet etc. delivered ~16.4s runs last year, along with ~190 MF and just below 9k Blizzard. Now this NWV/Ormus setup had no MF, 12k Blizzard, and resulted in ~16.2s runs. Totally not worth it for general purposes, yet I stuck with it anyway... after all, seeing fewer rares and S&Us means I wasn't going to get distracted by picking them up. :D

Equipment:
faceted NWV (20/5)
faceted Fathom (25/5)
faceted Blizzard Ormus (16/5)
35 Spirit
Mara's
Hellmouth
FCR/life/mana ring
SoJ
Rare FRW/resist boots
Arach

Merc: Infinity, Kira's, GA

Non-qualifiers:
  • RBF: 4, all of them 5/3 – 3/5 range
  • Other S&U: SoJ, Mara's, high ED Warshrike, 2x Highlord's, Rixot's Keen, Biggin's Bonnet
  • Rares: +5 Energy Shield orb, otherwise nothing really good
  • Ral: 56
  • FA: 122
The high number of FA/Ral is something I was quite happy with, and I intend to go on a crafting spree after RFL. In fact I have some idea about a crafting challenge I thought about posting after RFL, could be fun. I haven't picked up Sol/rubies during tournaments in many years, in case you're wondering – not worth sacrificing run time for IMO.

See you guys in the final round, I'll try to be more active for that one!
 
Congrats everyone, particularly art! That's a crazy set, and I always hear him complaining about not finding jahs :p. I did one 20 hour set, and here is my haulpic.

Di9cLGq.png


Just like round 1 for me, I was below my expectation on both quantity and quality of qualifiers, but unlike round 1, I was pleased with my efficiency. Averaged 21.9s runs for the set and got in 3291 runs. I also thought my haul pic looked nice :cool:. Was pretty disappointed there were no ber+ drops, but trav is quite profitable nonetheless and I'll happily put those runes to good use. Also already had some nice results crafting, a lot due to materials found in this round, with that 2/20 zon and that 2/19 sorc 20@ amulets I posted in the IFT.

Also my in-between rounds scores have been excellent ;). Between rounds 1 and 2, I found Ber, Ber, Lo, Ohm in p7 CS, then a cham in p1 AT. So far since round 2, I've found ber, ohm, ohm, gul... all from p1 pits :LOL:. Guess that's a risk when you're playing a lot but are too lazy to do multiple sets.

Did all the running with my lvl 99 blizz sorc using hoto. I tried out a 3 piece tals setup on her (303mf), which is what I would recommend for general running (was avg'ing just under 24s with that setup), but I stuck with a higher dmg setup (with 153mf) to keep those runtimes under 22s.

Equipment
Helm - Nightwings 14csd with -3/+5 facet
Amulet - Maras 30@
Weapon - Hoto 40@
Body - Vipermagi 35@ with ptopaz
Shield - Spirit 35fcr
Gloves - Hellmouth
Belt - Snowclash
Ring1 - Stone of Jordan
Ring2 - Nagelring 30mf
Boots - War Travs 38mf
Inventory - Gheeds, 4skillers, 18life/5@ sc, 4x 7mf sc's
Merc - Might, Infinity, Kiras (15ias, 11ed), Guardian Angel (15ias, 11ed)

I did get the two missing facets I needed for grail, which was nice, but no wisp or bk. I thought about starting a second set at a more relaxed pace while using 3 piece tals setup, but only got like 40 min in before deciding I'd had enough of trav. Despite loving blizz sorc in general, trav is not one of my favorite runs. Though the sheer profitability makes me more than happy to run it for the tourney.

I can't wait for round 3. I've never run arcane before and am definitely planning to this year. Soon will need to do some testing on whether I think my griffonsless java or light sorc will be better for the round. See you all there!
 
Congrats to @art_vandelay on the nice haul, @Pb_pal for the well-earned second place, and everyone who got shiny rocks!

Like last year, I ran with my untwinked 99er Barb, Death, who has an extra limitation of no extended stash. But this year, he had Enigma for the whole set and better gear in general. Of course, his score and total qualifiers was dwarfed by last year's result. That's RNG for you!
Trav 2020 Haul.jpg
Only 7 qualifiers, but quality was out of this world with five 10+ pointers, and two of those top three scoring drops :) Over his two RFL rounds, he's netted 2 Chams and 4 Jahs, so quite the streak. The real highlight was the non-qualifier haul, which included quite a few charm upgrades and most importantly the Highlord's to complete his gear.

As expected with only 7 qualifiers, he had some extended dry spells, in fact two 5+ hour stretches without a qualifier, and another nearly 4-hour stretch. Things started off nicely with a Jah at the 1:50 mark, and Gul fell within the next hour, with Ohm #1 less than 30 minutes later. Three qualifiers in three hours, I thought, could be a good sign.

Then 5 hours and 20 minutes until Ohm #2 fell. Then the Cham dropped at the 9:20 mark to round out a top 5, with 4 of them 10+ pointers. The Highlord's actually dropped a few runs before the Cham, so that was a nice little stretch.

He picked up only two more qualifiers over the last 10:40, with Ohm #3 just past the 13 hour mark rounding out the top 5, and a Mal right at 14:30, so he finished up with a ~5:30 dry spell. (Which was promptly broken within 5 minutes after he finished the set and gathered cubing ingredients and lower runes, by another Gul and Mal. At least they wouldn't have helped the score!)

As for gear, details are in his Meet the Rune Finder's post (here). Short summary is Death's was better than last year, merc's was worse, but average runtime was significantly faster this year as a result. The cubing materials and rune gathering allowed him to cube a second Sur to make the Ber for Beast as a reward (and for use once he reaches lvl 98):
Trav 2020 (Beast).jpg
He also got 3os Mage Plate allowing Treachery, so he's set for ~1100 Baal runs to reach lvl 98 :p

Thanks to everyone who participated and kept the running thread active with updates and theory crafting. It's fun to see people having fun with the tourney, whether that's improving run times, experienced runners still discovering new refinements, or relaxed play and nice loot. Looking forward to Round 3!

Wow, was not expecting 2nd. Bunch a slackers in here. ;)

Congrats to @art_vandelay on the impressive set and the win!! Congrats of course to everyone else on their new rocks. :) Travincal is always a great round for theorycrafting, and this year was no exception. Well done, everyone!

As for me...


Total Qualifiers: 19
Skillers: 19
Captains
Entrapping of Sustenance (+28 life, nice!)
Fanatic
Fletcher's
Fungal
Graverobbers x2
Harpoonists of life (+7)
Hexing x2
Lion Branded
Mentalists
Natural
Shogukusha's x2
Sounding
Sparking x2
Trainers

Ran the whole thing with my 99 Blizzard sorc, as usual. 19-20s run times in general, for somewhere in the ballpark of 3.5k runs once muling and lazy spouts are taken into account. She's a typical build, same as I used last year. Her gear and build details are listed here.

Now, the runes:

A little bit of a slow start with our first only showing up at

Run 243: Vex

Followed quickly by another dry spell

Run 825: Ist
Run 847: Um

Right at the tail end of the first 1/3, the floodgates opened a bit

Run 1072: Sur

O8Lxkl9.jpg


Run 1096: Um
Run 1224: Ohm
Run 1401: Ohm
Run 1473: Lo

And then they promptly slammed shut for a little while

Run 2068: Vex

And then opening fully for a weirdly consistent finish.

Run 2443: Vex
Run 2474: Ohm
Run 2698: Mal
Run 2714: Pul

Run 2771: Jah! On a weird run too, that I almost aborted. Had to plow through some rejuvs to make sure I could pick it up!

rEGU0im.jpg


Run 2701: Um
Run 3118: Um
Run 3144: Um
Run 3260: Vex

And a nice buff to the score to finish it off:

Run 3322: Ber

189MxMu.jpg



So there it is. Nothing too spectacular but a nice showing nonetheless. Honestly I wasn't very motivated to do this one, so I'm just happy I finished a set (and that I had a good haul, of course!). I'll have to build a HC Trav runner for next year to keep things interesting. ;)

Lastly, I'll leave you with a haul pic:

QvSiBLm.jpg



See you all in the next round. :)
 
Holy hell what gods do you guys pray too?

Each picture is mesmerizing.

I went 17 hours with only 3 qualifiers... Wasn't even sure if in 20 hours I would grab 5 runes... fortunately vex and sur dropped in the final hours.

Even at around 30ish seconds for my 2H zealer and completing north of 2k runs I was beginning to miss the moo moo farm.

Oh, at least fortune shined on my facet collection, 7 found, 5 poison lol

Not sure what witch doctor has my voodoo doll but I think my penance is done
 
My first round win ever! :D Congrats to everyone else, especially @PhineasB and @Pb_pal who no one saw coming! Also @Gripphon probably got the most qualifiers in any RFL set ever!

And thank you @Babyhell , that health bulb jumping up and down reminded me why I do not play HC :p

I got a total of 29 qualifiers and at some point stopped taking pictures of the Pul runes of which I got a total of 7. I think I will extend this treatment to Um runes in the future. This is the haul:

Congratulations to @art_vandelay - Crazy drops, that was what I was after :D

Bit of a disappointing round for me, my lowest round 2 score by about 17 points.
It started OK with a very early Ist and the Lo dropped around the 10h mark. But unfortunately, except for a Pul around 19h, that was it.

3687 runs over 20 hours yielded 11 total qualifiers, so definitely the short end of the RNG stick here. That Cham came through with only 1.5 hours remaining and boosted my score enough to salvage a few points..

I picked up many rares but none I would consider good. I did find a pair of nice Raven Frosts (249/19 and 246/20).

Nice hauls everyone! I'll add my own (much less impressive) pic to the mix...

Nothing nearly like most others, but I'll certainly take it. If nothing else, that Ber puts me just waiting for a Zod, and I'll have every rune-drop... fingers crossed for round3...

Being far more casual with my play than most other players that entered, I feel like this is quite possibly best results I have had to date within a contiguous 20hour span of play. Granted, I've been playing this game for years now, and maybe just finally getting that Ber drop after cubing up so many Surs to get the runes for 'Enigma' and 'Infinity' is what makes it seem so... either way, I am still quite pleased. No clue on number of runs or average time... runcounter always has felt clumsy to me, and comparing the results it gives to the resident efficiency-bots leads to frustration for me, so ye olde stopwatch is how we keep time. I could almost certainly improve just by not picking rares, but I can never shake the feeling that one tiara I left on the ground would have been the +2/20fcr/30frw/@ res/2os...
