Balancing the Finds – MF/RF Tournament

Well, at least someone is crazy enough to try something even worse than I do xD
Are loading times an issue too or is it only because of the build that you chose to combine many different targets in one run?

I managed to push my untwinked Blizzy to Hell Diablo with 0 ResAll and 800 life. I consider this an auto win in the HC department of this tournament. If my new laptops arrives in time, I will probably do lots of Pindle runs. If not, I will probably do something like @Friiser to balance loading times, safety, upgrading gear and getting XP. Sounds like the perfect plan to get stomped xD

Have Mal runes in 1.07 some good score?

Might as well do it, since I play 1.07 until I hit 99 with 9 chars total (or only lvl the paladin to ~89 and the rest 99)

All scores are identical whichever the version played this time, which is bad for run(e)s in early versions. Don't know if there's a way to rack high unique scorer tho...

Worked late all week so spending some time trying to roll a better AT map before i start my set, wanted to do it yesterday but was whooped. Not going to get super picky but trying to find something i can get in a decent pattern with that has a good amount of spawns. Anyways was just looking through a map and had this pop. Little pre-tourney find, good luck all!

Joining in with my blizz sorc and AT running, probably eventually I will switch to strafezon and pits.

Got my first hour of running in...33 AT runs @p1. That is averaging 109 seconds per runs...probably 1/3 of it is loading screens. I even started running to the Act II WP because it was faster than switching to Act I and taking the WP there.

But I got 5 qualifiers already! I wonder what can go wrong now?

Crappy gear with crappy resists maybe?

I also just finished my first hour. Farming cs with my untwinked paladin. Runs take about 1:40 each.
Only 2 decent qualifiers so far.
I got 3 unique rings in a row from diablo. One of them was a bk o_O Another grailer but no points for the tournament.
I also crafted a plain pk sk! 3rd one now. Super happy about this!

I’m about an hour and half in @ P8 CS, 45-60s per run depending on how many boss packs near seals and how low gold is. I honestly haven’t played much at all in the last 2 weeks. Nearing 50% so a full set would push me over 97 for sure without any deaths. 3 qualifiers so far but I’m only running 64% MF.

First 3 hours in. More than expected but Mrs. Kruemelmonschda was meeting some friends so it was me and Mr. Pindle then. Meeting times were about 26.5s. Not that many pointers, but i was excited about this charm which was immediately put into use:

In addition i found one plain Cold Skiller and these two rings which i quite like. One for the low reqlvl and the other for the stats. Oh, the second one was gambled not found. But Pindle gave me the gold for that. :)

Nice going everyone!

It's been a real struggle for me to get a decent Pit map on my HC Barb in D2R. Easily some 12-15h of map rolling over the last 1-2 months with nothing good showing up. But luckily I now finally got something worthwhile just in time for the tournament. It's 5 tiles and has one pocket to check, but only 2 directions to teleport and good density in both Pit levels.

Started P1 Pit Singer runs today, 2 hours done so far. 105 FCR Beast setup with 505 MF and 56% hork. As mentioned earlier, personally I'm mostly hoping for certain S&Us in HC. The wish list is topped by Griswold's shield to finish the HC set sept and start farming torches, otherwise still looking for HC versions of the magical "S&U trifecta" of Griffon's, DFathom and DWeb.

Run times are worse than D2L as expected in D2R with those loading times, averaging around 70-75 seconds. Roughly 20-25% worse than what I had similar chars on similar maps in D2L. :/

Good non-qualifiers:

@ffs thanks got it edited now😅!

I've got 4 hours in so far doing LK then a bit of Hell Meph. Made it to 92 with Storm the Blizz Sorc. I was averaging around 50 seconds a run for /p8 LK and /p3 Meph takes about the same. I made CtA after leaving LK to re-roll my map for Hell Meph. I was expecting a low bo roll and got a 6/6/2 instead!
