5,000 Pit Runs, inspired by Kitteh. A bid to complete the grail eventually

[Dazliare1]

So I was reading through Kitteh's thread, and got super inspired. Also, after finding Mang's in the MFO, I have 3 of the 4 hardest to find uniques in the game. With my telezerker, I average approximately 1 TC 87 per 80-125 runs, so 5,000 runs should get me most, though I would be shocked if I come out of it with Tyrael's.

So yeah, all that said, post anything you guys like; my progress, the build, other grail attempts, and of course, talk a lot of smack. I'll update this thread every 250 runs or so, though I'll leave the TC87s unknown, much like Kitteh.

To start us off, anyone know why the vast majority of items I'm missing that aren't TC3 or TC87 are TC42 and TC45? Makes no sense to me, but I'm missing 6 from 42 and 4 from 45.

Lastly, I did a few runs tonight after getting everything straightened out on my new pc. ~100 runs in (just snagged the run counter), I'm happy with tonight. Eth Ormus, pul, Earth Shifter, and a sweet exile base that rolled just over 1k def

Glad to see somebody getting into this
You will probably find that it isn't that you didn't find them, you just didn't pick them up because you 'assumed' you had them. That was my problem anyway. Is it just TC87s you're recording?

 

[Dazliare1]

I was thinking I'll record TC 87, bases, and high runes, but like I said, I won't tell you guys which TC87s I find. I'll post the items I find that are grailers but aren't TC87 though

 

[BobCox2]

That grails just needs 1 more thing....

 

[Dazliare1]

Updates!

250 runs in (ish - runcounter is freaking out a bit), and I've found a couple grailers, 2 of which are TC87 Another pul as well, but nothing else really noteworthy aside from green sacred armor (number 6 -.-)

What's up Daz! I'll be following along with you, working on my AT sorc as well.

How fast are your runs and would you mind sharing your gear set up?

 

[sebhehe]

why aren't you telling us what you find? it's what makes this fun to follow (for me atleast )

 

[Dazliare1]

Yeah I'm starting to agree. So far, notably speaking I've found:

Earth Shifter
Gargoyle's bite
Ghostflame



Kinjal, I play a pretty standard pit barb:

Grief PB
6x ist PB
Shako (cham)
Enigma
Crafted amu with 15mf, 10fcr, 2 barb skills
Goldwrap
Nagel
Some rare ring with dex because I'm bad and don't have respec tokens
Chancies
War travs
full inventory of mf SC's

He runs ~760 mf, 75s runs depending on if I have netflix on or not

What about your map? Did you take some time to roll a good map for this 5000 runs project?

 

[Dazliare1]

It's the map I used in the MFO - it's not perfect by any means, but I know it very well, and it's pretty quick.

I did ~40 more runs last night, with the only interesting thing being eth Coif of Glory, which I'd never found before

 

[Kitteh1]

My merc is using an ethereal giant skull, purely because I wanted to use it as I'd never had an ethereal one before

 

[Dazliare1]

Eth andariel's visage on mine

 

[Kitteh1]

How are you getting on Daz?

 

[Dazliare1]

I haven't played a whole ton recently. I made my Death 2h zealot, which I've wanted to make for a long time. I've also had problems with the run counter, so while I know I'm at 250+ runs, I don't know the actual number
