It’s been a rough 10 days for the denizens of the Pit and Ancient Tunnels. Baal and his minions are sick of visitors. Pindle’s horde is building a gate to keep trespassers from the temple.
That’s right, MFO has concluded! Let’s get to results . . .

Congrats to all the winners, and everyone who ran!

This was a great MFO, with a really tight race at the top in A85 (5 runners within 10 points of each other). And there was good competition with improvement throughout for the runners in Pindle+ and Baal. The teams race was also decided by a whisker! Another good annual MFO in the books, thanks to everyone who keeps this event going. The running thread is here, and the Meet the Olympians thread is open here.

A quick overview of rank and total score by each category, plus teams, is followed by detailed results within each category. I will update as needed.

Prize Claiming Rules
1st Place - picks 1 item from ANY other entrants in your category
2nd Place - picks 1 remaining item from ANY other entrants in your category ranked below you
3rd place - picks 1 remaining item from ANY other entrants in your category ranked below you

- No more than 2 items can be taken from any entrant.
- If you're done picking, or don't want anything, make sure to say so in the thread so the looting can continue down the list.
- Make sure you realize the mod status of any item(s) you take.

And here are the “good sportsmanship” suggestions. These won't be enforced but any reasonable person shouldn't have any problem following these:
1. Don't claim items for their trade value, claim items you want to use or as a trophy
2. If you want a trophy, please be considerate (i.e., no grailers)
3. If you claim an item and the player really wants it, give them a chance to trade back their self found item for a similar or better one or other item as you see fit.
4. If someone is claiming one of your items, you may personalize it before giving it to them.

I didn’t bother with readouts in the initial post due to few people sending with results, no claiming actually occurring the last few years, and amount of time it takes to add those. If anyone wants to claim, please ask the competitors to post or PM with readout before making the claim official, and post the readout when claim is made so there’s a record.

Thanks again to everyone who participated. Hope it was fun for all. Looking forward to the haul picks!

Major congrats @Nagisa on the A85 win, in fact two MFOs in a row! Didn't even need a single 27+ item, that's borderline insulting though. ;) Also congrats to @Vildecor and @maxicek for winning the Baal and Pindle categories.

Generally having a look at the results it seems we all didn't complain enough... luck was not on our side this year overall. Still, seeing many useful items throughout, and I hope everyone found something they were looking for!

Here's my TC87 haul:

Screenshot101.jpg

Screenshot102.jpg

Forgot to throw Spirit Keeper and Cerebus' Bite in there but too lazy to take another screenshot. :) The Thunder Mauls were both Earth Shifters.

The only highlight for me personally was the Death's Fathom, it's the 4th one I found but in the past I always got bad +CSD rolls, 21 being the highest. This one with 26 is a decent upgrade for my AT and Trav Blizzard Sorcs, and something I was actually happy to see.
Screenshot103.jpg

The only other "actually useful" items were the two Griffon's Eyes. By now I have many good ones though, and even found my first 15/20 one in my rather short participation in last year's MFO. This time rolls were rather bad though (10/15 and 11/17).

My runs were split as follows:

Pit Berserker (1000 runs)
Setup
Shako (Cham)
Grief PB 39/393
180 MF PB
Enigma MP
Chance Guards (500 runs) and LoH (500 runs)
WT
HLW
Arach
Nagel
40 MF magic ring

Switch: Wizzy (Ist), Hoto (55% FI without BC cast being required)

Merc: eth Insight GT, 60 IAS/ED/demon ED jeweled armor, Andy's (Cham)

MF charms with dmg/AR, AR, CR, LR, mana

745/595 MF with Chancies, 705/555 with LoH. Probably could have reshuffled charms a bit for the LoH setup to bump up one MF BP, but that's totally negligible overall ofc.

He has a great Pit map and runs are pretty fast, so I wanted to try LoH to speed things up further. Despite S&E issues being a little worse, it turns out he's right at the point where LoH indeed performed at least as well as Chance Guards, and I believe I will stick to them going forward. I'll leave details/readouts for the olympians thread, but was happy with his efficiency and he found all noteworthy items except for Mang Song's.

1.46 adjeff as per run counter.


Pit Singer (~500-550 runs)
Run counter tracked 376 runs but I did at least another 100-150 while rolling and discarding maps. More than 90% of the time I ran with Beast, shout-out to @Luhkoh for the idea.
Shako (Ist)
Beast axe
Suicide Branch (Ist)
Enigma BP
TO gloves
WT
+2 War cry, 9 FCR, 24 MF, adds craft ammy
Arach
Nagel
32 MF magic ring

Switch: dual Hoto, only purpose is BO but in the end I barely used that either (4.5 life when BO'ing on main switch is surely enough)

Merc: eth Insight GPA, Fortitude, Andy's (RjoF)

581 MF/55% FI

He started on a good map that averaged ~8 bosses and was reasonably fast (initial runs hovered around 1.65 adjeff). Then I got greedy, wanting to get a new HoR Singer entry. So I rolled it away and regretted it for the last 3 days of MFO :) just couldn't find a decent map for the life of me. He did find my #1 item (Mang Song's) while rolling maps, so that's something at least.

AT Fireball/Blizzard Sorc (~100-150 runs)
This is my spin on this (very underused) AT runner:
Shako (Ist)
Wizzy (Ist)
Phoenix Monarch
Enigma DS
Magefist
WT
+2 Sorc, resist, MF, life, strength rare amulet
Arach
2x rare FCR/MF/res/life/adds rings

Switch: CtA, Spirit

Merc: eth Infinity Thresher, Fortitude, GFace(Cham)

I ran her only casually towards the end and didn't track her runs. Her map is easy to run but doesn't have high boss density, around 5-5.5 or so (she had around 1.9-2.0 adjeff when initially testing the build last year). Pretty much same as my Blizzy who doesn't have a great AT map either, but to me at least way more relaxing to play thanks to the Redemption aura provided by Phoenix. She didn't find anything of note.

Non-qualifiers
Terrible. Only two eth items that are at least something cool to look at:
Screenshot104.jpg
Screenshot105.jpg

Otherwise nothing of note really. No Pul+ runes (!), 3 RBFs (no 5/5s), a couple of Ormus' and 16 Rals.

Of course, thanks as always to @PhineasB for hosting!

Well this was interesting! It's no secret that running with a Wolfbarb is not exactly the most efficient way to run Baal in an MFO, but Stevesy took 'getting off to a slow start' to new heights.

He ran the first 8 hours or so (about half my total time) scoring nothing higher than a 3.1 (Rune Master), but something seemed to click once he hit 98, and then the drops truly began. I'm sure it had something to do with switching to p1/p3 runs instead of p8/p3 runs and shaving over a minute off of his runs. Or, you know, D2 Gods and our in-house deity RNG. Either one.

Right away (well, 10 runs or so after 98) we got what would be our highest scorer. Okay. Well that definitely helped with the motivation! From there he continued on, popping a Veil of Steel ~1.5 hours later, a Ber rune and then our second 10+ pointer another couple hours after that.

Then there was a bit of a dry spell before not Baal, but his waves pulled through:

2XHI9q3.jpg


Yes, it's a Stormlash! That's a grailer for me, and puts me now at grail-3. I hereby retract any mean things I've ever said about the waves. That would be the last interesting drop MFO-wise, with just an Ohm and an Andy's rounding out our eventual top 5.

Didn't get a full top 5 of 10+ pointers, but honestly I wasn't expecting it with <100 MF. It's by no means a great score but I'm extremely happy with this haul considering the running was very slow and inefficient. Plus, a grailer is a grailer so that is always fantastic and I am always happy to get a bit more XP on Stevesy.

Congrats to all runners who scored fun toys! I won't be claiming anything.
 
I'm very happy with my placement. I did maybe ~700 runs or so, all in AT with a standard blizz sorc, 600 MF. In the last 10 runs there was both a rare Caduceus and a rare Archon Staff, which was quite interesting.

I did find a Mara's and Ist rune, as far as non qualifiers go.

And for some reason I always find at least one Executioner'
s Justice, and this time was no different. This was my eighth. Can't really leave them in the ground in a tournament setting.

Thanks for hosting, was fun. And congratulations to all winners.

Congrats to the Winners (and the rest too)!

Anyway... How does one who dropped an MSL, DFathom and a Griffons, not win? 😲

Huh. I think I may screwed up my result delivery (sending new best finds for every update instead of just updating my total top 5😅). Nevertheless, they don't really make a difference. Here's my readouts of my best scoring finds should anyone be interested;

Ran Chaos (and whatever RoF packs along the way) exclusively with a fully decked out Hammerdin. Not going to show him off just yet. Maybe in 3-4 (or even 6) months' time. 😉
 
Congrats to all participants and especially the winners! Special thanks to @PhineasB for hosting the entire MFO! :)

Seems like I was the culprit who foiled our plans on the team win...and that's where I am really disappointed. I invested over 33 hours for almost 2k AT runs (most of them at p7) with 603% (and later 643% MF) and didn't get even one 20+ item :-/ I know it is RNG, but I had rather bad streaks (125 runs without even a qualifier?) that were really tough and overall I thought that so much runs would pay off better. I didn't even improve my perfect grail by much, only The Cranium Basher was an upgrade in the TC87 spot. But oh well - sometimes you lose, sometimes the others win. 🤷‍♂️ 😅

I still had a blast running and optimizing the build - I switched to Chance Guards the last 300 runs or so to hit 3 more percent in the unique spot and it didn't slow down my runs at all. Safety is a bit worse though, because I can't teleport as quickly away if I accidentially hit a pack.

And the new run counter is so good - it is soooooo cool to see your XP progress - honestly, that was the main thing that pushed me on (and in the end lead to p7 runs again after doing some p1 runs for some time, because seeing 4800 runs left to level 98 is far more motivating than 21000 runs 🤪).

Anyways, here is some of my loot

I agree with @ffs, it looks like we didn't do enough complaining this year! Congrats to @maxicek and @Nagisa for taking the top spots in your categories and Team W.O.L.F. for barely squeezing past my team for the win! And of course a big thank you to @PhineasB for hosting once again this year.

Things started out really great for me for my first time competing in the Pindle category. By the end of the first weekend I had managed to already amass a score of 48 points. I figured I'd for sure end up finding one of the 3 20+ pointers by the end...but was sadly let down. I'm still quite happy with my haul: 126 qualifiers, which helped to bring my grail down to -60.

Too bad the Griffon's Eye turned out to be eth--I'll have to find another!

The Loot Haul (TC 87s)
Screenshot082.jpg

Runes
Screenshot083.jpg


Other non-qualifiers included a couple of RBF (both 4/-4 lite), Death's Hand, Felloak, Hotspur, and Highlord's Wrath (the last unique amulet I was looking for...now if I could just find a Telling of Beads). The rune drops were definitely a bonus, as I can now make Infinity once I find a decent base for it.

I will not be claiming any items.
 
I think my pindle is broken.

This is my second MFO in a row without a TC87 unique. It's really quite staggering. I didn't even find anything over 8 point.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know the numbers on this? How many items (elite sets and uniques) would you expect to find for every tc87 unique.

I'm also a bit disappointed that my fast new computer doesn't seem to load D2 faster than any of my old computers. It turned my fairly quick pindle runs into slowish 20 second runs.

Since i didn't find any qualifiers that I would ever put in a haul pic (well, ok, I do have a decent pile of tc87 set items), I guess that makes this my haul pic.

Congratulations to all the winners and participants on your finds. Major thanks to Phineas as well for continuing the tradition. I love being able to pop in and see it still going strong somehow. Hopefully we find a way to keep it going with all the D2R hype.

I did /p7 Pit runs with a poisonmancer, amassing approximately 3000 runs and 58 hours. Most of my nicer finds were found pretty early on, and I honestly didn't expect to win with a low 80s score, but it seems everyone else was less fortunate. In hindsight, I would circumstantially agree with the advice given to me to run on /p5 instead, if only to reduce the drop density and make particularly tanky/nasty mobs more killable. It still felt pretty good to play, despite having to make quite a few extra Insight to fodder for Iron Golem.

There's a few more 9.3s, but only so much fits in the end.

As always, I will not be claiming anything.
 
WINNING Team W.O.L.F.
Babyhell, Pit runner

Congrats to all runners and winners W.O.L.F.'s @maxicek, S.L.O.W.'s @Vildecor and "the always resurrected" @Nagisa #WhoElse.

Thanks to @PhineasB for hosting this once again with great success!

And a special aaa-oooooh to the W.O.L.F.'s team mates @Swamigoon and @maxicek, major congrats to you guys!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This year the results were pretty tight, especially on A85 category - so low on biggies, and no Tyrael's!

On my side it was a great run with my heavy MF charms loaded PitZerker ZerkAndDestroy (valid number is 573 runs, the 5 last ones were made just to see the qualifier I was missing):
Code:
Total session time:   17:34:57:9
Total run time:       13:27:56:2
Average run time:     00:01:23:8
Fastest run time:     00:00:56:4
Number of runs:       578
Time spent in runs:   76.58%

Avg unique kills:     6.3
Avg champion kills:   3.91
Avg pack kills:       7.84
Avg seconds/pack:     10.69

On to the drops... well. Two Eschuta's back to back, two Azurewrath without Lightsaber(!), and well... two unique Sacred Armor without Tyrael's -_-

Regarding non-qualifiers, Tal's weap 222 and Ber were on top of things.

Regarding qualifiers out of points... the 2os Ethereal Tomb Reaver was so close!

The result of 2000 Pit and 500 AT runs:
XUlSmx8.jpg


I haven't seen a Death's Fathom since the one that finished off my grail, and to find not one but two within days of each other, felt a little surprised. It may not be worth as much as a 27 pointer, but I'll take a 29% CSD Death's Fathom..

I also collected around 5 Eth grailers with the rarest being one of those Glorious Axes in the haul pic. The Pit map was a lowly 4 tile, 7.2 boss map, but the route was simple and also contained a well, so I kept it instead of searching for another map during MFO..

Wow, look at all that sweet loot! Of all of the competitors' top finds listed above, I'm definitely most jealous of @queenEm's Arachnid Mesh. That's an item I want that I have never seen. (But as a pindle runner, I wouldn't have seen one of those this time anyway...)

Well played, @Vildecor @maxicek and @Nagisa! (I still don't know - Nagisa, are you the same as NagisaFurukawa, whom I read so often in the SPF Mat/Pat/Guardian collection?) And mad respect to @Pb_pal for fantastic results using a Wolfbarb. Also, many thanks, maxicek, for carrying @Babyhell and I to our Team W.O.L.F. victory! ( 🐺 Aaa-oooooooh!)

Vildecor made no trophy demands of me, and likewise I ask no trophy.

Xylia the pure Blizzard sorceress is still level 91. She is a lot closer to 92, but she got charge-killed by Pindle and minions a few too many times, which depleted her XP and curtailed her advancement. Best non-qualifiers were two facets (-3/+3 cold/death and -3/+4 fire/death) and an Um rune.

Attached are the screencrops that I saved of most of my qualifiers, which I accumulated during 22 hours of Pindle-pinching. This tournament netted me five grailers: Bul Kathos' Sacred Charge, M'avina's True Sight, Stormspire, Shadow Dancer, and Ormus' Robes (Inferno). I also got an exceptional grailer, a Skull Collector, and my penultimate "Grail of Steel" item, a two-socket plain champion axe. A 2os glorious axe is the only item left for me to finish all 81 Steel runewords. (y)

Nagisa, are you the same
That is indeed me. I'm sorry you had to read all of younger me's obscure anime reference infested threads. The census is a fun read to see what things people come up with, so I appreciate your work there.

Well done to @Nagisa and @Vildecor for the alvl85 & Pindle wins. And of course team W.O.L.F @Babyhell and @Swamigoon :)

I'm very surprised by the generally low scores this year. No Tyrael's is unsurprising, but no DWebs either? I looked at last years Baal scores and said to my team mates I was unlikely to win, even after the find that basically won the category for me.

So I had genuinely low expectations for running Baal as I have never had any sucess with him before. But Friday night and my heart is pumping as I stare at this:
MFO 2021 Templars.jpg

Unfortunately as soon as I looked in my inventory and saw it was Ethereal, I knew which one it was. My Tyraels ratio is 1:4 now, so I'm ahead of the curve anyway, especially as I think one of those is from Pindle.

Most importantly I levelled from 92.0 to about 94.9 with a single death at 92. She is now level 95, which was the main objective.

Thanks to everyone who entered and continues to keep this great tradition going. Maybe next time someone will make history by being the first person to win an MFO on a console. How will they post readouts?

And of course major thanks to @PhineasB for hosting.

I had a weird and disappointing round, likely showing the other end of the distribution of likely outcomes compared to the last two years of Baaling for MFO.

The untwinked Windy is both an underpowered build for Baal runs (Ventar runs are most XP-efficient after all) and my guy has only three skillers. He ended up dropping to p1 for Lister and Baal for most runs, increasing nodrop odds for those stretches but also speeding up the runs. On net it was likely the best compromise of XP and drops, although I also dabbled with p3 for both and p1/p3.

He progressed from 97.05 to a little past 97.4. So I logged less time (and fewer runs) this year than the last two years, in which my Untwinked Zon went from 97.25 to 98 and my Untwinked Barb went from 97.5 to 98 (plus leveling a furyzon and lightning sorc). Still, the Druid's best drop was an IK armor (the only TC87), while the Zon had a full compliment of TC87s and the Barb had 4. And my Druid was > 300 MF while the other two were in the 200s.

But I am happy to have gotten him toward 97.5 (I love these SPF tournaments for how they've help me focus and progress my untwinked 99ers over the years). This is going to be the roughest level with him, so knocking out a chunk is great. Runes were lame with only an Um, and there weren't any non-qualifiers that helped him (two Druid skillers, but one each of the wrong tree :mad:). But it wasn't all doom and gloom:

Yep, second one of these, although this is lower damage roll. I guess I need another Zod and two more RJoFs so I don't have to swap between melee characters :p

Time for a short break from playing so I can focus on finishing the Amazon Starter Guide before D2R launches, and also catch up on some Guardian write ups. Thanks to everyone who participated!
