Welcome to the second TC3 Hunting Tournament !!! In this thread players sign-up and talk about hunting TC3s. We had a little pre-tournament discussion about this, and it seems like we'll have 6 participants, but obviously the tournament is open to anyone, and it would be awesome if we would have more people enter. Last time it seemed like we would have 4, and we ended up with 14 .
What is the TC3 Hunting Tournament?
The TC3 Hunting Tournament is a contest where we try to farm as many different TC3 items as possible during a 2 week period, within a maximum amount of time for each character. Score will solely depend on the number of different TC3 items found. This wiki page contains a list of all unique and set TC3 items. All items can be dropped by Normal Andariel (a lot of them even from lower targets), except for the 4 items with a qlvl of >16. If you are seeking for advice to increase your efficiency at tracking down those TC3s, check out the TC3 hunting FAQ draft. Or you could have a look at the first TC3 Hunting Tournament or it's results thread. Both contain very good information on which builds to use, tactics, ...
When is the TC3 Hunting Tournament?
Starts next Friday January 12 at 00:00, ends on Thursday January 25 11:59pm. Both local time.
Rules and info
1. Areas we run are: all areas up to Normal Halls of the Dead level 3; this includes the Sewers level 1 - 3 and Dry Hills; reason for this is that I want to keep it low-profile, but want to enable the cube, to turn those chipped and flawed topazes into perfect ones
2. Only version 1.13+ of the game.
3. HC or SC
4. New characters only, untwinked; muling items from the character to an external stash (GoMule or Atma) is allowed though
5. MP game to reset a map is allowed
6. Player setting is free; no increasing the /p setting just for chests or other poppables though
7. Max amount spent with one character is 15 hours; you can however enter the contest with multiple characters
8. This is just meant as a small, low profile challenge. There are no prizes, except for eternal glory if you manage to find all items one can find within' these areas (20 items)
9. Every different (e.g. not already found) TC3 item grants you 1 point; readouts of one of each of those different TC3 items can be posted here after the event; in case of a tie, the person who finds the highest total amount of TC3 items, wins
10. Gambling is allowed. TC3 items found while gambling, follow the same rules as TC3 items that drop
11. Reset at Akara is allowed

Results
In a lot of tournaments there is a supervisor, to whom you can send your results after the tournament period over. Since this is such a low-profile tournament, I suggest all participants just post their result (number of different TC3 items, total number of TC3 items and item readouts (edit: or screen shots)) in the results thread I will put up shortly after the tournament itself has finished, but not until the ending time of the tournament has passed for all participants. So people from Australia and New Zealand will have to wait a bit longer than us Euro people, and those two groups have to wait for people from US and Canada before posting any results .
Please don't post any info on how many TC3s you have found before the tournament is over, as that would ruin a lot of the fun.
