Septimus was my seventh entrant in Kitteh’s relaunch of the untwinked 99er challenge, joining Mercy (trapper assassin), Hiatus (Blizz sorc 1-98 and lightning sorc 98-99), Phaedrus (Hammerdin), Pestilence (Novamancer), Quinta (Furyzon), and Death (Conc/WW Barb) in the Table of Heroes.
Here’s a vid with the final few Nihl runs and gear showcase (forgot to show skills again, but they're in the read out below), followed by a quick rundown of progress, finds, readout of stats and gear, and random thoughts, before closing out with thanks and plans for what’s next. (Vid doesn't have sound, I guess because I had volume on OBS record all the way to zero. Oh well, sorry about that, no background music, but it would have been this.)
Progress
Septimus was my entry in the I am Overburdened tournament by @Dazliare, making it through without a death as a pure fire Druid, making Patriarch at level 84. I'd picked Druid for that tourney to have an untwinked Druid option to enter in the Untwinked 99er challenge, which I did in September of 2019. He had limited gear due to playthrough restrictions, so mostly focused on easy targets and some LK, eventually getting to level 90 and some gear upgrades, HotO, and progress toward Enigma, and converting to Windy.
In January, we prepped him for the Off the Beaten Path RF/MF tourney, netting solid gear upgrades at Meph, including Reapers, Arachnids, a 2/2 druid helm, and an SOJ. The tournament set in the Pit plus some additional runs saw him to 92. Concerted effort at LK saw him to Enigma in March, with really good luck to limit the time in LK at less than 1700 runs, which was awesome! He was then part of my entry into 2020 RFL Round 3, picking up a Ber in the Pit but not much else on his way to level 94.
Septimus then sat for a bit, hitting level 95 in October with continued Pit runs, with the only really notable find being finally a Shako to finally replace the 2/2 pelt (and get socketed). Level 96 followed within the next month, aided by 20+ hours of Pit runs across two sets in the RF/MF tourney, with an Ohm drop finally allowing CtA (plus a Jah). He then sat again, this time for nearly 5 months, before becoming my entrant in 2021 RFL Round 3, netting about 3/4 of the level in the Pit during the RFL and then finishing things out and hitting Level 97 almost exactly six months after the last update. He picked up a Ber, Mangs and DWeb across this stretch.
We then transitioned to Baal, with Septimus serving as my entrant in MFO after fiddling around with p1/p7 CS runs. He got a little past 97.4 in the MFO, before getting tired of Baal and transitioning to Nihl to hit 97.5 in October 2021. And that's where he stayed until the end, getting 97.75 in late October and 98 a few weeks later. He was my entrant in the next RF/MF tourney in December 2021, hitting 98.25 before New Year's but struggling with motivation a bit. We then focused on the goal of 20M XP/week, and got 99 about a little more than a week ahead of that goal (updates at 98.5, 98.75, and 99). The post at 99 summarizes his experiences at Nihl, including drops during that time, which were solid but nothing of particular note, aside from lots of eth uniques to push my eth grail to -50 items.
Finds
Septimus spent quite some time in MF mode, pretty much until he transitioned to Nihl at 97.4 due to Cyclone Armor making resists irrelevant and Pit runs being the main focus of the mid-90s. The two skillers during level 98 were awesome, allowing his Tornado damage to climb high enough to put Nihl in hit recovery. Otherwise, he got a solid amout of TC87 uniques (and eth uniques noted above). Runes were okay to poor compared to prior 99ers, although his luck in LK for Enigma was spectacular to tick that off in so few runs. Given where I am in grail (only Tyrael's) and other longer term projects, this guy had fewer drops that were exciting even if not useful to him than prior 99ers. But his contribution to my eth Grail was solid, bringing me to -45.
Stats and Gear
Corpse recovery kit was thankfully not needed, so not listing it here.
Thoughts and Reflections
- Limiting the Baal runs by focusing on Pit was definitely worth it. Without enough +skills, Baal runs were rough, and I wouldn't have been able to push him through if I'd focused on those (or Ventar runs). Had I known that, I'd probably have gone with a non-tourney character to save Ancients. Oh well!
- This character shows for me how nothing should be ruled out without testing. I'd never have thought that telebombing Nihl with a Merc and Oak, plus Grizzly being cast, and without Nature's Peace to shut down CE, would be viable. Nihl is just so worth it as a target at the end that I now believe any class can make that approach work.
- Druid is definitely the least attractive option for 99, but this experience shows it's definitely doable @Pb_pal showed there are different options to get there.
- I'm sort of not sure what to make of finishing this guy. Seven of these has been fun, and a great project. But thinking of it in absolute terms of 7 untwinked 99ers (rather than focusing on the journey) is weird. More to come on this when I do a Sept post. Speaking of which:
Thank You-s and What’s Next-es
- It's almost cliche at this point, but big thanks thanks to the SPF for being the SPF and helping to keep this game engaging, with helpful feedback and encouragement. I've said it before and I'll say it again: No way I’d still be playing D2 without the SPF. Not much else to say, actually.
- As for what’s next, I plan to finish my Unfinished Business Sept (Ranger is in A1 Hell and Bone Necro is in A1 NM), and I'm hoping to get a HC Pally through the choose your own tourney tourney, under S/U rules, to finish my HC tourney character sept. I also may add another entrant here, a Sorc to channel the lessons learned. She's at level 92, but I'm not sure if I'll come back to her. More intriguing are the HC Sorc (level 95.5) and Trapper (level 90), the survivors from the Three Way Dance tournament. Pushing a HC character to 99 sounds like an interesting challenge, although I'll probably deeds both if I focus on that.

- Limiting the Baal runs by focusing on Pit was definitely worth it. Without enough +skills, Baal runs were rough, and I wouldn't have been able to push him through if I'd focused on those (or Ventar runs). Had I known that, I'd probably have gone with a non-tourney character to save Ancients. Oh well!
- This character shows for me how nothing should be ruled out without testing. I'd never have thought that telebombing Nihl with a Merc and Oak, plus Grizzly being cast, and without Nature's Peace to shut down CE, would be viable. Nihl is just so worth it as a target at the end that I now believe any class can make that approach work.
- Druid is definitely the least attractive option for 99, but this experience shows it's definitely doable @Pb_pal showed there are different options to get there.
- I'm sort of not sure what to make of finishing this guy. Seven of these has been fun, and a great project. But thinking of it in absolute terms of 7 untwinked 99ers (rather than focusing on the journey) is weird. More to come on this when I do a Sept post. Speaking of which:
Thank You-s and What’s Next-es
- It's almost cliche at this point, but big thanks thanks to the SPF for being the SPF and helping to keep this game engaging, with helpful feedback and encouragement. I've said it before and I'll say it again: No way I’d still be playing D2 without the SPF. Not much else to say, actually.
- As for what’s next, I plan to finish my Unfinished Business Sept (Ranger is in A1 Hell and Bone Necro is in A1 NM), and I'm hoping to get a HC Pally through the choose your own tourney tourney, under S/U rules, to finish my HC tourney character sept. I also may add another entrant here, a Sorc to channel the lessons learned. She's at level 92, but I'm not sure if I'll come back to her. More intriguing are the HC Sorc (level 95.5) and Trapper (level 90), the survivors from the Three Way Dance tournament. Pushing a HC character to 99 sounds like an interesting challenge, although I'll probably deeds both if I focus on that. And Tyrael's remains, so I may do some focused MF running to try to finish that off.
Thanks for reading!
