Finding the Balance #3 (MF & RF Tournament)

[Arparrabiosa]

I'm trying to squeeze a second set before having my trip.

Mandatory non-qualifier random drop:

That's my 7th trap skiller. Nice for my key runner trapsin! Nihlatak is hard, but man I hate running the countess.

 

[Grisu]

Well, I am still trying to find the SoJ instead of finding the balance...another 10 unique rings from NM Andy, none of them a SoJ...But beware! Once I find it and get that Anni, I will sweep in from far behind and take the lead in no time!

Finding the Balance stats:
hours spent: 0
qualifiers: 0
hours spent on NM Andy: 13 hrs 55 mins
Nagelrings: 32
Manald Heals: 37
SoJ: 0

 

[Excalibur]

Few more stuff.
9,5 Hours completed.

 

[gregth]

9 hours completed, and my first 5 nado pelt was found !
Unfortunately, apart from the +5 nado, overall stats are kind of bad so i'm not sure if it's really usable

 

[Jpy]

Around 10 hours done split 6/4 between Countess/LK.

Gonna try to roll a better map and probably spend then next 10 in LK also.

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

Almost 8 hours in on Cows at /p7. I've been picking up charms and jewels but no non-qualifier luck like you guys.

A couple of interesting bases...

A nice base for "Death" for a Charger.


Pity this gets max 5 sockets and can't be cubed because of superior... I guess it's useless, but so close!

 

[Excalibur]

Look at these Charms!
I am close to 11 Hours.

 

[Arparrabiosa]

This is why I pick rare boots while farming LK:

Don't miss that level requirement!

 

[LouB]

Yep, I always pick up rare boots and gloves. Most are worthless, but everynow and then you get something like that pair.

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

9 hours of Cows down... finally got what I'd consider a decent drop. Also had an ethereal Colossus Voulge drop, which may not seem like much, but I still have a dearth of elite ethereal polearms in D2R.

 

[Swamigoon]

Perfect rolls on a non-qualifier:

Here's the GoMule readout. (If you study it carefully, most of you will easily figure out what area I was running when it dropped.)

Hit 10 hours with the 99er Sorc, a little surprised by her XP progress to a bit past 96.25, so about 6.5 hours for a quarter level. About double time per XP for Gripp's max XP sorc, which suggests her map is really solid, given only one skiller (but otherwise quite good gear for those runs). If I can avoid a death, she should be approaching 96.75 for the set. And a bonus is above-expected drops for this tourney to help keep things engaging and press to finish the set. Hopefully I can do so, but work has been quite hectic. No non-qualifiers of note except non-eth Hand of Broc and Gull.

 

[Excalibur]

Just completed 13 hours and already gathered 5 decent qualifiers, more than I could ask for and still have plenty time to improve my score. This is turning really great for me.

 

[Excalibur]

+27?
I don't think I have ever found such a high one before.

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

I've gotten a few decent bases in Cows, but I think this is the first time I've seen two white Monarchs in a single drop.



On a more annoying note, I died three times, just kept being frustrated at being stun locked despite having 86 FHR, which has always been enough before... I figured I just sucked at playing or was too tired.

It finally got so bad it dawned on me... change the batteries in your wireless mouse! Now it feels like I'm gliding around on sleek, velvety glass.

 

[Arparrabiosa]

Uuuh, nice!

 

[maxicek]

Just about 15 hours in. No rune significant rune qualifiers, S&U are progressing. No interesting non-qualifiers either.

 

[Excalibur]

Completed 15 hours and the last 2 hours were quite dry.

 

[LouB]

Closing in on 14 hours and finally seem to be moving. Baal and Pindle have been next to worthless. It seems that this game is siding with my wife about my personality

Have we ever considered giving extra points for an etheral version of a Unique?

 

[Grisu]

Still 0 hours in ... so no balance yet. but after over 22 hours, I found the SoJ! So expect me to clean up the competitioner's field with my Annihilus broom soon!

More on 22 hours of NM Andy here.
