Finished everything including Arcane Sanctuary and had a little bit more luck. No uniques found yet, only a whole lot of sets that I wouldn't even pick up given normal circumstances. My merc is dumb as rocks and got stuck behind me in Arcane, then ported up ahead of me and got stuck there (he was too far ahead). I decided a bit of goatman on spearmerc action might smarten him up.

I like my twin 'Steel' falchions. Especially when they make enemies bleed like a stuck pig.:evil:

I have found (or gambled) all the TC3s except the rods and Sander´s cap multiple times but I have only seen a handful (like, less than 10) of S/U items in TCs over 76 or so. So, having a scoring of 11.9 for Biggin´s cap (which nearly all critters can drop, rare though it is) and then having a score of only 3.8 for any of Bul-Kathos´ swords (which can only be found in very few areas) is so far off it isn´t even funny considering that you will have hundreds as many chances to have Biggin´s cap drop.

I wondered the same thing, especially when I looked at the tables for items that could replace my two TC3 scores later on. But it's all relative. I never found these two in more than two years, playing quite some chars and doing a fair number of MF runs. I have three or four IKSCs, a Stormlash, a Death's Fathom, a Death's Web ... and more. For the sake of this tournament, almost any number assigned to any item would do. IF these items were so common, most chars will find them or similar high scoring TC3s. The effect would be that their score will be equal amoung the contestants and thus won't decide about win or loss.
 
I haven't even gotten past the Outer Cloister yet, haven't found one single S/U, and at a quick glance, I seemed to notice something amiss with the scoring. Well, Cormallon's score helped:wink3:

I'm not sure the first SPUMF had anything wrong with the scoring, beyond slight tweaking. I even liked the rune hunt, etc.
 
Time for an update, I guess...

Well....I don't know....seeing other's people luck(I won't say any names, I won't say Cormallon, I won't.... :laugh: ) I guess I haven't been doing well, at least not considering my amount of MF.
I've been running around with around 140% MF for me and 185% MF for my rogue(45% plus my 140%)...and results haven't been that impressive.

I'm starting to hate assassin claws - I have found both a failed set and a failed unique of that type :cry: .

I'm at lvl31 now, starting to use LF, 1 point valk, and still deciding on backup skill(FA maybe? seems to rely a bit less on a good bow than strafe).

I have cleared up to Kurast Bazaar and its temples(not the sewers though), then I ran to the Upper Kurast WP because it was late and I was tired.....

I'm also saving my topazes for future armors and helms(4 and 3 sockets respectively)...I have a flawless topaz(gem shrine), and 3 each of regular, flawed, and chipped topazez.

When is the sooner I can get these kind of equipment??(3 os headgear and 4os armor).

I also have another question for you guys.

I'm using two stahes for this tourney, one for storage of regular items(gems, runes, and such) and another one strictly for S/U's, in order to keep track of them easily....is there an easier solution to this? Some way to keep them all in one stash but still tell them apart from regular items?
Thans in advance, and good hunting!
:fortuneteller:

3s helm: Bug Normal Larzuk for an Artisan´s Great Helm. Clvl 39+ needed.

4s armor: Two ways:
* Find one in Nightmare. Can drop from Outer Cloister and onwards (and a few areas before that). The "lowliest" type, which also has the lowest STR requirement is Gothic Plate.
* Socket a Gothic/Full Plate that has an ilvl of at least 26. Larzuk or socket recipe (but recipe only has half chance of 4 sockets, and costs a PTopaz as well...Ouch!)

I don´t save the actual S/U items, I just write them down and put the data into a spreadsheet (which automatically calculates some of the scores) after a gaming session.
 
Time for an update...a lousy time in the black marsh/hole was more than made up for with a lovely tower...the gull be doing its work.

Sokket lv 17 SC barb - the build has changed from consentrator to currently pure FI, I'm thinking of experimenting w/ stun as main attack skill.

Great moments in horking: With 1 ctopaz in stash, I find another and head back to town to redo my armor. I replace my merc's current 9% armor with my 18%, and shop charsi's - lucky me, she has 3os ring mail. Socket it with 2 ctopaz's and head back in the field, and my first pop - another 9%! Yay!!!
Long live silly D2 tourneys!

Well, A3 was uneventful. Except that unhealthy trend of getting everything twice :shocked: I mean, there are so many items that can drop, why on earth do I already have 5 duplicates, this early in the game???

No death.

Wow, I am so impressed with the drops so far. I've increased my MF a bit and hope to see more results. I've never gone down into the Tunnel area in the Flayer Jungle before (not the one where you get the brain, the other one) and I know why! ANNOYING. :grin:

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm currently collecting topazes to replace the armour, and of course reroll rings and ammys with the 3 ring -> 1 ammy and vice versa recipe. That dagger I'm wearing is gambled, and not used much anymore, it's about time to replace it (club with +druid skills, or Gull :grin: ).
 
Wow, our items are comparable, no surprises there. Then you've just got better luck. Than me. Than all of us. :grin:

OH right, I forgot about that recipe. I should definitely begin doing that.

At least Ormus gave a ring that wasn't COMPLETELY useless, only to Den.

10 fcr, 12 LR, 17 CR and another mod I can't remember.
 
When I started off last night I had a really good run of chipped topazes dropping. I had 5 in my stash by the time I cleared the first area and Den of Evil.

I haven't seen one since. :p

I did gamble for some nice rare boots and gloves though.

Boots are 10% runspeed w/ 13% MF, gloves are +1 mana after a kill w/ 11% MF. I socketed a ringmail with 3 chipped topaz and a helm with 2 (on my merc, since I'm wearing the Infernal Cranium I found), so I'm doing fairly well with my MF (69%) for only being up to the Black Marsh (just starting on Tamoe Highlands).

I think I've got a 10% FCR and 4% mana leach ring (don't remember offhand since I'm at work). I don't remember what my ammy is.
