"Rare Pleasure" Tournament

I have planned hotkeys for my Lord of Mages. Holy crap, how many I need. I used up all 16 and would actually have liked to have 6 more available!

I solved this by letting Decrepify inherit the Weaken key, and not bother to hotkey the left button skills (those will be Attack, Throw and Bone Spear) and two of the golems.

Let´s see how this works out...

7:30 a.m. EST on May 1.

what time is it in sweden then? sorry im not so good at the time lines :jig:

EST is 6 hours behind us, I think, so that would be 13.30.
Tror jag...
 
Currently (due to daylight savings time), Eastern time is GMT-4. So the tournament begins tomorrow at 11:30 GMT. Unfortunately, that is 4:30 in the morning for me, so I won't be starting for a few hours after that.

Why start on eastern time? =(
Because that is the host's timezone? :) You have to pick some starting point. Don't worry, I'm not getting up at 4:30 AM to start. Although knowing me, I may still be up at 4:30. :teeth:

Edit: There is some amazing participation going on here. This should be fun...

Looks like an interesting tourney. I've had a build in mind that I've been wanting to play for a while, that should work pretty well here.

No particular plan for me, I'm flying blind here.
My first 1.10 Necro, and my first serious necro ever. Should be fun. :)

Also, upgrading quest reward RUNES by using gems is forbidden (actually, I think it's impossible, given what gems can fall, and what runes can fall... but just in case...).

There is one possibilty: 2x Um + Regular Topaz -> Mal. But why anyone would want that is beyond me (especially since Um can be used to upgrade exceptional weapons to elite).



I just thought of something; why do we have 0 points from the start? Aha, we have one point from the Rogue Encampment, subtracted with one point from being level 1!

So the town WPs count. Then we have the following pointers for scoring:

Acts 1-3 and 5 give 6x2 (from quests) and 9x1 (WPs) points = 21 points per act. Act 4 gives 9 points.

That leads to (assuming all Cow Kings have been killed):
End of Normal: 96 points
End of NM: 192 points
Guardian: 308 points

Then subtract the level of the character.



One more thing: There is only one unique that is useful (other than for providing gold): The Stone of Jordan.
 
Wow, I have no idea to use the code thingy, so I may screw it up. Anyway, I'm in :) Going with a tesladin for fun. Will start on Wednesday though since I got the army thingy going.

There is one possibilty: 2x Um + Regular Topaz -> Mal. But why anyone would want that is beyond me (especially since Um can be used to upgrade exceptional weapons to elite).

Jiansonz is my official tournament fact-checker :) But it's highly unlikely, as you say, that anyone would waste the runs this way... it'd be much smarter to use the Ums.

THE SAGA BEGINS

Rare-Skunk looked around himself in the humble Rogue Camp. "Peasants," he thought to himself. "Look at them, wearing their rags and their common magical weapons. What does the quality of their arms matter, if their style is so... uncouth. The sooner I get out of here, the better."

And so Rare-Skunk set forth, far from his barbarian homeland, with nothing but an axe in his hand. "It isn't much," he said, "but I'll try to keep it hidden until I find something with a little more sparkle."

But it wasn't to be. R-S killed all of the evil in the den, and all of the foul beasts in the Blood Moor, before first finding what it was he sought. "Ah, javelins... but how they shine!" He discarded his humble axe on the ground, and spat upon it for good measure.

His journeys through the Rogues shattered lands would yield him several such finds, most of which he could not use: a shining wolf head, a strange but very attractive shrunken head, and three shields (he kept the most beautiful of these). But not all was lost: he found a marvel of a golden scepter, and began to pound evil with both hands flashing. "This is more like it!" he exclaimed.

But though R-S performed several quests for the Rogues, including rescuing their unattractive old coot of a leader, no shining armor was to be found. Though one curious item did catch his attention: a prosthetic limb, carved from the simple wood of a tree. He had heard tales of people using such poor clubs to pound even the prime evils into submission. "But... it's so ugly!" he laughed, and left it upon the ground.

Score: 10 - 13 levels gained = negative three (!)
Equipped items: javelin and scepter (for double swing), shield on switch, ring from Cain quest reward.
