Goals?
- Run for 20 hours. Gonna be tough for me, but I'm dedicated to trying.
- Find 10 grailers. I don't think I'm asking too much since I'm currently at -80, but with a handful of random exceptions most everything I'm looking for now is either jewelry / facets, very high end stuff, or TC3s. One of those exceptions? It'd be nice if one those finds is my first pair of War Travs. ...And because RNG has a cruel sense of humor, I must stipulate non-eth Travs, plz.
- Find
anything that improves this Blizzsorc, the biggest potential upgrade being a Fathom. I'm locked into a full Tal's set for MP play with John Remedy and I haven't come up with a good alternative to balance damage, MF, and safety (we do WSK runs at /p5), but a Fathom would shake things up most considerable.
- Perhaps a bit esoteric, but find my love of item hunting again. I was once a highly dedicated & motivated grailer, but that was many years ago. It's great in MP since we just talk and chill and make dumb inside jokes / references while on the lookout for runes and random lucky finds, but I lost the spark for solo MF'ing. It'd be cool to rediscover an old passion.
Rolled up a decent AT map over the weekend and did some practice runs to get a feel for the pace of play, and I found myself a Grandfather (not a grailer). I'd hate it if my best find from this map came before the MFO even started...
And I don't know why, but I'm considering streaming my runs during the competition. No one's gonna care about the events, myself or any potential viewers out there. I won't be paying attention to chat, I don't care about building a fanbase because I don't plan on doing any other streaming regularly, and other alvl85 runners can't watch because of spoilers. ...But it'd be cool as heck to have something amazing drop and I had video proof for it. If I'm honest, though? All it's gonna do is prove how noobish I am at playing the game after all these years. Still, can't shake the idea...
