Actually, IIRC. Once the (ancients) quest is done you do not need do it a second time, you can walk right past them and open the door behind them.
Hi,
wow, I had a great session (mf-wise). today I found a Vex, a Nord's, a crual francisca and a toxic small charm (100 poison / 5 sec). Randall made lvl 75 doing so.
The Vex was found on my first countess run, but not from the countess. (She only dropped a thul). Right upon entering tower lvl 5 I hit on a double or tripple boss pack. One of these must have dropped it. The other finds were from a single pit run
All played on p3 setting.Now my bonemancer is starting to do a few pit runs it becomes time for me to start another character. I just added a pally to the HC Ladder, it's Lightning_Jack at lvl 1. I was planning to build him as a tesladin. I am not sure what backup skill I want to combine with it. (the physical route or the cold route). But the cruel fransisca could be a nice help with these FE bosses.

Having now removed the -ns from the shortcut line and set the music volume slider to zero, I was able to kill Meph again and listen to Britney along the way. Hurrah!
One rather good point was that although the Magefists Meph dropped the first time were lost, he took pity on me for my plight (and Blizzard's poor coding) and gave me a Spire of Honour with complimentary Cathan's Mesh as compensation. My merc was very pleased with his new poking device.
Along the way from mid-Act 3 to mid-Act 4, I found...
Titan's Revenge (Sewers 2 chest)
Spire of Honour (Meph)
Venom Grip (from somewhere in Travincal I think)
Nightsmoke (Act 4 critters)
Earthshaker (Act 4 critters)
Hwanin's Blessing (...Upper Kurast, I think)
Cathan's Mesh (Meph)
Vidala's Barb (dunno where that's from, but probably Durance 2/3)
and probably a couple of others I'm forgetting. Also found an Entrapping GC and Fungal GC with +9? to life, neither of which do me any good (and so are up for grabs, they're on my giveaway list).
Not a bad haul for a night's work, all in all...
I'll just remind everyone that my generic stash of 'possibly useful stuff' is listed here, although it's mostly socketed/plain items, there are a few magic and rare bits in there for those who are interested (including the above mentioned GCs). More recent stuff is at the bottom.
Good luck to you all!

edit: @Randall: It depends when the game decides to save. I didn't lose an entire play session (*shudder*), I still had most of my items and all my waypoints - but the Mephisto quest hadn't registered. Since the problem only arose because it tried to play a movie I would be okay with the Ancients, as long as the game saved after I'd killed them...

Cygnet lvl 63 meteorb sorc
********************
Cygnet is just entering the chaos sanctuary....
I'm running at players 1 to get through the act and on to Act V to level and so on,
Meph dropped a Bartuc's, a chance guards and a Milebrega's robe! Not a bad drop at all.
The hellforge made up for it though... dropped a sol. Oh well. On to act V soon.
Found a Titan's revenge from Norm Baal! I'm starting to find some nice exceptional items finally. Soon something better for the sorc, so far all stuff for other classes.

Still mainly mucking around doing Countess/Andy sessions. Need to bump up my MF a bit, since I'm not running into any trouble and getting rather plain drops. This last time was alternately good and silly: Countess dropped an Io, which has me approximately 2/3 of the way to making a "Smoke" armor, and then Andariel dropped two Cathan's Meshes and a Sigon's Gage. C'mon Andy, you can do better than that... -_-`

Cygnet meteor sorc lvl 63 RIP
Was playing on players 4... Got jumped by two boss packs of death lords at the stairs from the arreat plateau to the crystalline passage (activated before I even moved away from the stairs), my merc died in about 1 second. I had lots of time to try and Tele out as I kept hitting full rejuvs but couldn't get a spell off. One set was Might enchanted extra fast, the other was cold enchanted extra strong. I was very tempted to hit esc.....
However, this is the best I've ever done HC so far, so I'm pretty happy with lvl 63 (only my 2nd serious HC char, tried B-Net HC but kept dying to lag/connection problems).
To play by septavirate rules, does the ATMA stash still qualify for the 6 items I could twink to a replacement septavirate char? What about the in game stash (obviously what she was wearing is gone)?
Well, onward with Tim (anyone else watched the holy grail recently?) the Skellimancer.

I know what you mean, Shade. Listening to Britney makes me want to kill something, too. :lol:Shade said:
My 5th player started tonight. Bullseye_Baby has cleared out the Den and touched the Plains WP. Had to stop there 'cuz it's a work night. So far, she's only used 7 stat points (strength for armour) and no skill points. Will continue this way until I figure out what I want her to be or things stop dying quickly. Even on /p 8 the Moor and Den were just plain easy. Have yet to drink a single pot. She even found a house with a front porch and chest, which dropped 6 rares. Never seen that so early in a game. Two of the rares were nice, but useless for a zon. Sure was nice to my gambling budget, though. :uhhuh:
Only Boner and Animal_Passion to get started now. Playing all 7 at the same time definitely keeps life interesting.

Made it past the Big D without too many problems, though it was the toughest of the Act Bosses so far, with my merc dying about 4 times. It was on /players8 though, so can't complain. Naturally he dropped 6 useless rares (just like Meph did).
Now it's time to go back and run Meph with the sweet map I got. Just got to remember to be more careful than I was with Daisy.
@ crazy_bear Sorry to hear of your loss. Hope your next hero gets even further.

Tough break crazy_bear...As for the septavirate rules, the stash is ok for muling - that's the idea, but the the in-game stash is iffy. Even on b.net when a HC char dies their in-game stash is not accesssible. I'd personally not abuse ATMA, and let those items die with Cygnet.
Well since my tourney dude, DeweyDecimel, went down in flames or lightning as it were, and Montgomery is slowly moving through Act II Hell at a mind-numbing slow pace. I am starting a new dude for HC. He will be a Wind Druid named JetStream.
And so it begins….
JetStream – 1st level Wind Druid – Starting in the Rogue Encampment

crazy_bear: Sorry to hear of your loss... stair traps are most unfriendly indeed.
Good luck with Tim. I hope he has something with Enchant charges...
edit: Beating Meph into a pulp repeatedly for crashing my computer yesterday. One run: M'avina's Tenet (sharkskin belt) and Vidala's Barb from a pair of Blood Lord boss-packs who were hanging out with Bremm (Bremm had Fanat, one of the random bosses had Conviction... :scared: ), and Wormskull from Meph himself. Also nabbed a Shael in Durance 2.

Hellforge yielded a mere Shael, but luckily Diablo was more generous and dropped a Butcher's Pupil, Husoldal Evo, and Magnus' Skin when he eventually fell.
I was cheated out of the Grand Vizier's drops though because he spawned (and died) over the edge. Hmph.
Still, wasting Lord De Seis got me another level, and now I can go inflict some hurt on the many and varied beasties of Act 5.

Zarel's minions made short of Andariel, so Zarel can have a good rest on journey to Lut Gholein. There he will rest a long time while his sister Volvo starts the epic quest to slay Baal thrice.
Volvo approached Warriv with a calm resolution to show all residents of Rogue Encampment that she meant business. Soon she bought a long bow with three holes in it from the merchant Gheed and plugged one of them with a chipped sapphire she had found in her travels in Blood Moor. After clearing the Den she bought another long bow with three holes in it and stuck some rubies in it.
With that bow she killed Blood Raven and decided to call it a day. Retiring back to the Rogue Encampment she hired a fellow archer who was capable to fire fire arrows. Before going to sleep she made battle plans with her help for the next day. They decided first to clear the Cold Plains and its Caves before going back to the Burial Grounds to tackle the Crypt and the Mausoleum.

Five of the motley crew haven't decided yet how to approach the killing of Baal thrice, so if you have a suggestion, feel free to make it.
I decided to play them in order like this: 1. Act I, 2. Act I, 1. Act II, 3. Act I, 2. Act II, 1. ACT III, 4. Act I, 3. Act II, 2. Act III, 1. Act IV, 5. Act I etc.
If one dies I have to reconsider the order of playing.
These will be played using the Septavirate rules. In addition they all will run, which actually makes playing a bowazon a little bit harder IMHO. Also I think that they won't be muling on anything else than their own gems, runes and potions.
Is it possible that these characters are added to the ladder?

Nothing huge to report (big event of the day: gambling a Naj's Circlet), but I did want to mention that I've put up a FARA report of my currently unused set/unique/rune/gem collection, a list of socketed items, a list of class-specific and +skill items, and a list of miscellaneous blues/yellows, for trades and giveaways. Feel free to peruse the lists and ask here or PM me if you want something! Very few of them will I even ask for a trade, so don't be shy, ha.
I'll try to keep these updated once a week or thereabouts. I'm not twinking the misc blues/yellows anymore, so I've mostly just been selling those, but if I find anything truly exceptional from here on out I'll add it.
Sets and Uniques
Class Specific and +Skill Items
Socketed Items
Miscellaneous Magic and Rare Items
Also, am I missing something or can I not create a signature on here..? Odd...

Borlag has set me up with my password, so I'm going to go do an update. Look forward to playing with all of you!

BTW somewhere in NM Cygnet muled a 4 socket gothic plate... I seem to recall someone was looking for one? If you would like it PM me.
