Hello SPF,
My Diablo 2 journey began in my childhood. In early 2000, when the game was released the internet access in Poland was very expensive, so me and other kids from the neighborhood played only on single player. We spend entire days outside, playing football and other child games and talking about our Diablo 2 characters and our drops.
In 2020, I youtube recommended me a channel of one D2 streamers that is playing mostly on Single Player, trying to achieve the Holy Grail of finding every unique item in the game.
When the pandemic lockdown begun, there could not be a better trigger for me to begin to play. So I started a SC character, on modded setup recommended by one of those streamers. In the begging it was kind of cool, I even started my own Holy Grail project. Later on, I’ve read a reddit article talking about downsides of that setup. The article referred to a Single Player Forum on DiabloII.net. I moved to a clean Diablo 2 installation, without any mod and decided to play on HC, as I never completed the game on Single Player with a hardcore character.
This is how my VanillaSky Sorceress was created. I picked GoMule as my muling system. I completed the game as Hydra-Orb sorceress. Before I pushed Chaos Sanctuary and 5th act I did a lot of Mephisto runs to get some better gear.
After I killed Ball and became a Guardian, I started to collect unique and set items. I didn’t expect to complete the grail, I knew that I will die eventually. I wanted to rebuild to a Blizzard, as I really enjoyed it in the past and wanted to farm some AT, Mausoleums etc.
To do that, I needed to gather materials for the character reset tokens, at lest 5 so I could experiment a bit and keep one as a comeback to Hydra-Orb capable to do everything.
Unfortunately when I was doing Baal runs to collect the green essences a pack of Souls killed me in one lightning combo.
Well, I expected this to happen, you have to expect it when playing HC, right?
So now, I added the RWM to my setup and I’m planning to do another HC Hydra-Orb sorceress, this time with access to all runewords from Bnet.
I still have my mule files with my all unmodded drops. I didn’t decided if I want to use the stuff from vanilla on my RWM character. Playing untwinked character was cool, but having access to all those runes and items from my vanilla mules is pretty tempting.
Any advices? :>
