Low Level Random Tournament, Round 2

Hrus said:
Why didn't you get Find potion? We would compare our Barbarians - my Loki had 3 rolls for Find Potion :lol:

Uh.. I dunno. Well, I've never played a Barb past Act 2, and I wanted a strong starting skill. Which, obviously is Mace MAstery. I would've gotten that first even if I could pick. :lol:
 
Ok, I'm uploading scores. As for ending the tournament, if enough people want me to extend it, I'm willing to do so. Otherwise, it's still ending on the 24th.

@xxarcherxx - All progress must be posted by the deadline, and all stashes must be sent by then. I will be posting the final contents of the prize stash that day, and prize distribution will begin then.

@Gaz - My recommendation is to leave a list of items that you want, even if that list is more than the allotted amount of items, and I'll go down your list and send you items based on that. See below for how the distribution will be handled.

@Kdawg & Hrus - If there will be another round, I won't be doing it immediately. I've got another tournament in mind that I'll be doing once I get back home after Christmas, and I might do another random tournament again after that is over. I haven't decided just yet.

@jiansonz - If you want to keep posting progress here, go right ahead.

Ok, prize distribution setup:

I will be posting a full ATMA dump of the prize stash contents. Everyone who donated items will be allowed to pick a set number of items from the stash. This number will be determined by #items/#people. Any remainder items will go to the highest ranked players. For example, 23 items, 10 players donating=everybody gets 2 items, and the top 3 players each get 1 extra item. You don't have to take your full number of items if you don't want to. There will be a limit, following the same rule, for each type (unique/set/rare/magic/runes, I may combine some depending on how many of each are present). Decide on the items you want, and post those items here. If multiple players request the same item, and that item has not yet been sent, it will go to the player with the highest ranking. After a set amount of time (probably 2 weeks or so) or once everyone has selected their items, any leftover items will go into the giveaway thread for anyone to get.

All items will be sent to the email address used when you sent donations in originally, unless otherwise specified (or I can't figure out which one is yours).

Any questions, feel free to ask.

I'll have a look at the current printout and make a list of the stuff I would like. I think it would be easier to mail this to you, so expect it some time next week.

Thanks
Gaz
 
@Gaz - I would actually prefer that your list be posted here, so that others know which items are taken. FYI, at the moment, there are 243 items in the prize stash, and 6 people have donated (though probably at least one of those playing will donate something as well), so you are entitled up to 41 items total. Unique and set breakdown will have to wait, as right now, the stash dump is in no particular order. I'll take care of that this weekend.
 
Okay, I'm taking a no nonsense approach to this character, so I'm just playing him straight up.
Romeo-Lo: Level 3
Quest Levels: DoE:3

I got the 3 points in Mace Mastery, so the next skill is: Sword Mastery. I wanna reroll it, but with two rerolls left, and a 50% shot to get a mastery anyway, it isn't worth it.
 
Update time... Lupin is still alive, although I can't say the same for the ancients :uhhuh: :

Lupin:
Clvl: 54
Rerolls left: 2
New rolls: Raven

Act 5: Quests:
(4) 50 (5) 52

WPS:
(4) 49 (5) 50 (6) 52 (7) 52 (8) 54

My latest roll was raven, but since I only have the two rolls left, I stuck with it. Ancients weren't too hard... the second time I rolled them. On the first activation I had a FE Korlic that took me down about 1200 (of about 1300 max life) life in 1 hit, and made me use a tp. No way I was going to actually try that. The second time around they had Stone skin, extra fast, and mana burn. Was a bit annoying, but I was able to slowly kill them. I'll try to defeat baal before the 24th, but no promises, as I'm really busy this week. I do have a bit of extra time though, since I'm in Japan, and the 24th for you is the 25th for me.

I've also decided that when the tourney is over I'll allow myself use of anything that I take from the prize stashes on Lupin if I continue to play. I'll also probably only take items to be used on Lupin, since I usually play HC untwinked. Definately make sure you wait for my prize stash Goltar, since I have some pretty good items in there that I don't need.

I for one would like to see it extended.

Romeo-Lo
Level 7
Progressed from the Den to the Dark Wood and recued Cain. Nothing real interesting, and no NDEs. Blood Raven was nice enough to drop me a rare Scimitar which I used until I found a scepter which I put a chipped skull in. I was walking around the Dark Wood for ten minutes trying to find the Waypoint. The third skill I rolled was Throwing Mastery :xx:

New Waypoint Levels:
Cold PLains: Level 3
Stony Field: Level 5
Dark Wood: Level 7

New Quest Levels: Blood Raven: Level 4
Deckard Cain: Level 7
 
I have some more progress to report. Romeo-Lo made his way through the Countess's tower, and into the outer Cloister. The next skill after Throw Mastery is.... Mace Mastery again. :grrr:
New Waypoint Levels: Black Marsh: Level 8
Outer Cloister: Level 10

New Quest Levels: The Countess: Level 10
 
Romeo-Lo has finished Act 1 and has killed Radament. The Andy fight was easy, I drank a ton of antidote potions beforehand, and then drank more whenever I was poisoned. Once I had put 3 points into throw mastery, I rolled..... Mace Mastery again. No. Reroll, I got Pole Arm mastery. Nope, I'm fed up with masteries. Reroll again, and I get........ BASH! :xsmile5: Good, an attack skill. The bad thing is that now I'm out of rerolls, so I hope I don't get too many useless skills. Radament was pretty easy, and he dropped Blood Crescent, which is going to the prize stash.

New Waypoint Levels: Inner Cloister: Level 13
Catacombs Level 2: Level 14
Sewers Level 2: Level 15

New Quest Levels: Andariel: Level 14
Radament: Level 15

Also, after reading through the donations section, I have a few questions. First of all, are gems or low level runes wanted? I know people use a lot of gems for crafting. Also, what about low-level rares and magic items?
 
Scores are being uploaded.

@xxarcherxx - Did you get the Malus and/or Jail waypoint? Nothing in your updates I saw about them. As for item donations, see the rules in the first post. No gems, and basically, no crappy items.

Since there is enough interest in extending the tournament, then I'll go for it. As for how long, I don't know just yet, but it won't be ending while I'm gone (25th - 31st). I'll probably decide shortly after I return how I want to do it.

Oops. :bonk: I forgot to update about the Malus and Jail I guess. Malus was done at level 11, and the Jail was done at 12.
Okay, and are low level uniques and sets wanted for donations?

I made more progress, moving through all of the desert areas and into the Arcane Sanctuary. I've actually started doing Countess runs looking for a Tir Rune so I can make a Steel Claymore. After I got my points into Bash, I rolled Spear Mastery.

New Waypoint Levels: Dry Hills: Level 16
Halls of the Dead Level 2: Level 16
Far Oasis: Level 17
Lost City: Level 18
Palace Cellar Level 1: Level 19
Arcane Sanctuary: Level 19

New Quest Levels: Tainted Sun: Level 19
 
Goltar: In case the tournament ends before I get back, Here is the list of stuff I would like.

Pelta Lunata|Wormskull|Lenymo|Deathspade|Pluckeye|Bane Ash|SoulFlay||Hand of blessed Light|Soulfeast Tine|Arctic Furs|

To everyone still left alive. Good luck, hope your rolls are good ones.
 
Baal has fallen at level 55. As for that first zombie pack I found in the Hell blood moor, well, they sent me running. Anyway, the only update is that NM Act 5, Quest 6 is done at lvl 55. He didn't even drop anything good. I have to decide how to proceed now. I might do some mf and some leveling before proceeding with Hell difficulty. At this point staying alive is more important than staying low level.
 
Well, I have some bad news to report. Romeo-Lo has fallen. He fought valiantly against Duriel, but a case of not enough damage, and Duriel being so fat that I couldn't click on my TP killed him. He returned to town at least 6 times during the battle, but could only damage Duriel down to half of his health before he died. It's too bad, he probably would have done better if he had more than one roll in a combat skill. I'm sending in my stash, there's some decent low level uniques in there.
New Waypoint Levels: Canyon: Level 20

New Quest Levels: Summoner- Level 19
Arcane Sanctuary- Level 19

Also, Goltar, where do we mail the Prize Stash to? I didn't see the email address.
 
Ok, I'm back. Scores are being updated.

@xxarcherxx - What level were you when you got to Duriel? As I recall, that completes the Horadric Staff quest. And yes, as simeonb said, my email is [email protected].

As for an ending to the tournament, I haven't set a new date yet, it will depend on how much activity there is in the next few days.
 
I haven't had too much play time. I've done a bit more leveling in Act 5 NM, since I still haven't been able to do more than Den of Evil and getting the cold plains WP in hell difficulty. I'm not sure how much more progress I'll be making in the near future.
