Re: Area lvl 85 MF Tournament
It took me a while to get started as I've been pretty busy, but I'm now happily plowing through and I should be able to finish by next Friday.
After five hours, I've collected a fair amount of qualifiers, including a couple TC87's and grailers. No amazing drops so far, but I was pleasantly surprised upon realizing that one of those qualifiers ranked much higher than I had initially thought. Among non qualifiers, I've found a 40% Gheed's Fortune and a Tal Rasha's Adjudication. Highest runes so far were a Lum and two Io's.
I'm averaging slightly under 2 minutes per actual run, and almost exactly 2 minutes after selling, muling, etc. Not anywhere as fast as some experienced runners, but I'm quite pleased because I've never been much of an area runner (too much of a packrat!) and because I'm not playing an optimized character (Blizzballer). This tournament is certainly increasing my interest in running areas, however, so I might build a couple dedicated characters soon.
Also, I'm playing with an interesting map. Bosses and champions are only spawning in the first half of the map, so I don't have to move around much. Downside is that I rarely get more than 5-6 packs. And I've seen Sacred Armors drop, so at least I won't be affected by the possibility (is it true?) that some maps cannot drop certain item types!
