Low Level Random Tournament, Round 2

Alright, I took ChaosKnight out for some more fun today. Had a bit of a tough time with Duriel, but eventually won.

Quests:
Horadric Staff - 19
Arcane Sanctuary - 19
Summoner - 19
Tal Rasha's Tomb - 19

Waypoints:
Palace Cellar - 19
Arcane Sanctuary - 19
Canyon of the Magi - 19

Saucy, did you get the sewers waypoint? If so, what level?

I'm uploading scores and rankings. Also, since some people have sent in donations for the prize stash, I'm uploading an ATMA readout of the prize stash. Regarding the prize stash, as those who have sent stashes in found out, I will send back items that do not qualify.
 
Got some more time today to take Leopold onwards. Made it through the whole of Act II having decided alter my strategy and stay at /players1 for the most part.

Not many problems until I came up against Duriel. Can't remember the last time he was this difficult - must have resurrected my Rogue at least 15 times :cheesy:

Finally beat him and of course he dropped nothing worth having. Then on to Act III where I got the first WP and quest.

One interesting note on today's play. Ended up with the whole of the Beserker's set. Guess the game's trying to tell me I should have played a Barb. Needless to say every piece is awaiting a lucky winner in the prize stash! :lol:

[highlight]Leopold (Paladin) - lvl 21 - Act III Normal[/highlight]

Since last update:

WPs: Sewers 2 18, Dry Hills 17, Halls 2 18, Far Oasis 18, Lost City 19, Palace Cellar 19, Arcane 19, Canyon 20, Spider Forest 21
Quests: Radament 19, Staff 21, Tainted Sun 19, Arcane 20, Summoner 20, True Tomb 21, Golden Bird 21

Well, ChaosKnight has died. I took him out into the jungles, and was attacked by a CE fetish pack. I couldn't get away from them, and ran out of potions. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to use my rerolls to try again, or just keep what I've got.

Scores are uploaded.
 
Got to take Leopold out for a run through the jungle yesterday.

Boy, do I hate flayers when you've no great crowd control! It took Leopold an absolute age to get through any reasonably sized group of them as he had to run away until they split up slightly. Holy Freeze helped some as it meant that as they got too close while he was running they would go cold and then lag behind their fellow brats.

A very weird thing happened in the Flayer Jungle. I hit the Gidbinn flame thing but no-one dropped the Gidbinn itself, despite me defeating a boss pack afterwards. :scratch: Was that because I had left that area of the jungle in order to split the pack up? Got really annoyed as it meant I would have to venture into the jungle again - and I'll probably have gained a level or two before completing the quest. :rant:

Anyway, the computer then decided to crash on me while I was in the Kurast areas, so I'd have had to go through the jungles again anyhow as I hadn't got either bit of Khalim's body while I was there. At least I know where to go now, so no running down dead-ends.

Since last update:

WPs: Great Marsh 21, Flayer Jungle 22, Lower Kurast 22, Kurast Bazaar 22

TOURNEY RULE QUESTION: Can you hold off on spending skill points until you reach a higher level, so that when roll time comes for the next skill you'll have more choices? Like let's say I'm level 24, I've speant 1 point in the skill I'm working on, and I think I can make it to lvl 30 on my current skill set. Can I save up the skill points, and then when I hit 30, finishg my current skill, and then have a chance of rolling a lvl 30? I'm curious, because I have rabies, and at lvl 30, fury gets added to the list of possible skills, which would be a nice addition to my arsenal. Don't want to waste all of my rerolls before I hit lvl 30.

Sorry, but the answer would be no. If you go to message #1 in this thread, you will see how it is being ran from the 1st three points, until you are done with a skill, and on to the finish of your game.
 
Well, I decided to use up some rerolls and try again. This time, I get a druid. For my first outing, here's the results:

Quests:
Den of Evil - 5
Blood Raven - 6

Waypoints:
Cold Plains - 1
Stony Field - 7

@ madmaxxam - Points cannot be saved.

Scores are being uploaded.
 
Went back to Kelvin today... played for a short while. Realized this char was driving me nuts! I don't know how some of you do it. So anyway, I tried running through the Flayer Jungle, which didn't work, and he ended up killed. Kelvin found absolutely nothing of value (he did only reach act 3 normal after all) so I have no stash to send. With 4 rerolls left I don't think I'll start another char.

Good luck to everyone who perserveres. You have my respect for your patience.
 
Decided to do a little more. It is getting progressively harder.

Nightmare Act I

WP- Cold Plains clvl 26, Stony Field clvl 26, Dark Wood clvl 26, Black Marsh clvl 26, Outer Cloister clvl 27, Inner Cloister clvl 27, Jail Lvl 1 clvl 27, Catacombs 2 clvl 27

Quests- Den of Evil clvl 26, Blood Raven clvl 26, Cain clvl 26, Countess clvl 27, Tools of the Trade clvl 27, Andariel clvl 28

I have a feeling that I am not going to last through Act 2

Oh yeah, used 3 more rerolls and got zeal.

Total rerolls used 6
 
Oh well, having had so much fun I decided to use up 3 of my remaining 4 rerolls and rolled a druid.

So come tuesday, the adventures of chaosmaul begin.

And Goltar, Don't worry about the stash I have sent through as there was nothing in there that my druid would want.
 
Sorry about the delay on the update. I haven't played my random character in a while. I'm uploading the current scores and rankings right now. Gaz, I already got the stash you sent and added the items into the prize stash.
 
Whimsy the Sorc: new entrant

I’d like to join the tournament. I was prepared to reroll if I got a Barbarian - after all,who wants to deal with all those skill masteries? but I rolled a 7: a sorceress. This is the only character I have not played much – and I’ve never played Hardcore before – so I’m just playing for fun, I don’t expect to be competitive.

So my entry is Whimsy, the Sorceress. She’s now at Level 13, (I've been playing all evening) with three points invested in Charged Bolt, Fire Bolt, Frozen Armor (arrgh!) and Fire Bolt, again. Hmm, this is fun.

10 rerolls remaining. (I’ll use them to stay way from the Inferno tree!)

Quests Completed: Den of Evil: Lvl 3. Blood Raven: Lvl 5. Search for Cain Lvl 9, The Countess Lvl 11.

WPs reached: Cold Plains: Lvl 3. Stony Field: Lvl 6. Dark Woods: Lvl 9
Black Marsh Lvl 10, and Outer Cloister Lvl 12.
 
I played a little bit tonight, so here's my update:

Quests:
Cain - 9

Waypoints:
Dark Wood - 9
Black Marsh - 10

Scores are being uploaded.
 
So anyway, I started my druid hoping for the werebear skill set, and what is the first thing I roll, Firestorm. Oh joy, this guy is going to be dead before i finish act 1. Nothing for it. So off I went.

Currently working on Volcano.
Rerolls left - 1

Well, I'm done running NM Bishbosh, having finally hit lvl 25. I also managed to lvl my merc to lvl 25. Only one thing to update for me and that is:

NM: Act1-Quest6 - LVL 24.

I managed to craft some nice blood gloves with a 10% CB, and used those to bury Andy before running more bishbosh. Bishbosh has now provided most of the equipment that I'm using, not to mention a bunch of items for the stash. I hit lvl 26 while leveling my merc, and now I'm going to attemtp Act 2, starting at lvl 26. I'm really not looking forward to Dury. I might need to do some massive leveling before him.
 
I would like to join.
roll was 3 - Barbarian. Hmm. Not very good for this tournament, but I decided no rerolls. Loki is his name. Loki cleared the Act 1.
Not very good skill setup so far: Find Potion, Howl, Mace Mastery, Find Potion, Leap, Increased Stamina (and the new build - Alchemist is here :lol: )

WP: 3,8,11,13,14,15,16,16
Quests: 5,5,11,14,15,17

I hope giving Malus to Charsi is treated as quest done, or should I make an imbue to do a quest?
 
So, after a lot of maggot lair runs, (It's such fun with Molten Boulder) I Finally thought I had good enough equipment for me to be happy in Act 3. Found another item for the Prize Stash. The Diggler.

Act 3 Quests

Golden Bird - 24, The Gidbinn - 25

Waypoints

Spider Forest - 24, Flayer Jungle - 25.

Yup, you don't have to imbue anything for this quest to be completed, just return the Malus.

No updates from me as I got hooked on a game of Civ II this weekend. Hope to play Leopold again some time this week though.
 
Whimsy, the Sorceress, just finished Act I normal. She did a lot of running against Andariel. Currently, Whimsy is clvl 14 with 6 points in fire bolt, 3 each in frozen armor and charged bolt and 2 points in warmth; and 7 rerolls remaining. On my next roll, I will have Fire Ball, Lightning and Static Field available but these will be only 3 of the 11 skills. I cannot imagine Whimsy surviving Duriel in ActII unless I roll some higher level skills.

But after reading about Loki the Barb with Mace Mastery, Increased Stamina,Find potion, etc. I don't feel so bad.

So, here are Myst clvls for all the WPs and quests in Act I normal.

WPs: 3,6,9,10,12.13.13.14
Quests: 3,5,9,11,13,14

On to Act II, Radament beware!
