The quest for level 99 - progress thread

[jjscud]

Gaspwheezepant. Made it.
I just don't have the hours in the day/week to pull 25 million on a regular basis...I'd need a full-scale vacation with nothing else going on. I might get another crack in August. Until then, we'll try a more modest 15 million/wk.
Creepily, I just looked at my clock...6:13 on 6/13.

A big [a href="[URL]https://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp210/DrFluff/lvl98.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]milestone[/a] is reached earlier today my hammerdin reached 98. And man it's a long way to 99:crazyeyes:

Awesome work. Sadly, nothing compared to what you have to do next.

Nice little milestone for me as well, 3.3. I'm guessing the next 100 will be the most painful, with no end in sight.

Added a new runner of mine, though it's early days and I'm not sure I'll ever try for 99 with him.
And I updating my progress from the Baalthon. So close yet still so far away...

Seems my post got eaten yesterday...
Anyways, I haven't updated in awhile (haven't played in awhile either), but I finally hit the 3 billion milestone!

Baal's got nothing on me, so he deployed a trojan to wipe out my computer...lost a week to fighting it off, then getting it repaired in the shop after I got killed by the BSoD.
Painful...but not enough Baal. Nice try, but not enough.

Finished a few more runs the last couple of days, and moved a few spots up the ladder!

I should have been here about a month ago but I have my worst disaster ever while exp running. I died, tried to recover my body, died again, and realized that it would only lead to more deaths. So I had to walk away losing 60 million exp. I took a break, played a few other chars, but finally I've returned to my push for another 99.

have been a real slacker lately, given Diablo too much rest but done some runs here and there and planning on doing some real serious running this weekend.
But a few millions here and there add up and I have reach 3251 million mark hopefully I can close in alot on 3.3 billion mark and catch Erix little sorceress

Guess I'd better not spot you another week.:whistling: Nice job carving into my lead...better see what I can do about getting some of that back.
*waves his hands and disables DX's computer for a day*

I can let you be 40 million ahead of me then I do hell ancients and pass you on the finishing line:smug:

I'm humbly thinking about starting an untwinked lvl99 runner, maybe HC but I haven't decided anything yet.
Sorceress could be the best bet for she's item independant. I found two lvl99 sorceress took the blizzard/fireball path, I wonder what are the advantages over oldschool meteorb. Anybody have idea?

Blizz/fireball wont be any good baalrunner since you are going untwinked. Go for Full blizz and hope for a good merc to handle the CI skellies in wave 2 and the CI like hell witches and OK's in throne.
Blizz/fireball simply isnt strong enough without some great gear IMO
And meteorber isnt strong enoug even with full gear to get to lvl 99 through baalruns

Work has been pouring in, which is:
1. Awesome for the buy-a-house fund.
2. Terrible for making good quotas on Baal runs.
Slow and steady! I guess I always knew I wasn't going to blow anyone away with monster chunks of exp per week at my age.

Ahh well not played much lately but managed to reach 3.3 billion today

50 million in two weeks is way more time than I've got. You'll easily pass me at that rate if you can keep it up.

well it's about 50 a day and my diabloruns takes about 2 minutes to complete. 1 hour and 40 minutes a day. And some of the millions came from nihlathakrunning which is even faster counting exp for each minute.
About 22K exp killing nihlathak on players8 and 32 with expshrine and keeping a 30 seconds run it's about 88K exp for each Baalruns which gives about 72K
And Baalruns isnt that effective compared to diabloruns

Old dogs, new tricks, etc. It's a nice method you've got though...I like clearing CS with my hammerdin.

I've been rolling a map for Baal, and after about 4 hours, [a href="[URL]https://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc157/LD_90/Diablo/Screenshot005-1.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]this[/a] is the best I have. The other entrance is 3 teles from the wp.
As I'm getting a bit bored of this, I'd like to know what I'm looking at getting a better one. How many of you have rolled a map (for a sorc) with both entrances behind a wall a couple of teles away, and how long did it take you?
Also, would it be a good idea to make a separate thread for discussion about running strategies, tips and that sort of thing? This thread is getting pretty big to find relevant posts...

Well, after a bit of a break from playing my Schaeferdin, it's back to it. Just doing a few runs each session, 4-8 usually each time before I switch to playing another character.
It's going to be a slow and tedious prossess. But at least there is progress.

Total of about 4 teleports to the throne room. I'd give you a time-frame of how long it took to roll, but it was simply the map I got out of re-rolling an LK map. My sorc isn't too good at baal runs, though (at least I'm not good at them with her).

Well it's been a long time since I have posted in these forums, WoW overtook me for a while. Anyway looking for that HC 99 again, but starting untwinked from the very beginning. I still have my old chars somewhere on a memory stick, but want to make a fresh new start at it...
Will probably be posting another update later on tonight.

:whistling:
[span style="font-size: 9px"]I will post and link to a proper thread soon. EDIT: Done![/span]

Huge congratulations are in order. Glad to see another joining the ranks of the mighty. :badteeth:
Looking forward to the full thread

goodness! Zaliqai, i almost didnt see this.. amazing. like DC, am looking forward to reading your write up.

Time for small update. I'm right behind Grisu, nice .

Courtesy of the MFO, level 96, thank you

Well after mentioning in Zaliqai's thread that I was considering a 99er and hadn't been able to find a char that for me would suit yet, that has all changed!
Enter Zeus, my new Paladin, I'll leave you in suspense of the details but suffice to say that I started him yesterday and am now level 82!
Certainly has me inspired, and hey, I might even find some nice shinies along the way!
Expect some progress from me soon, and hopefully many updates!
Good luck to everyone else on their crazy missions!
Joosh

Congratz to Zal reaching 99.
Pure pain running atm. Hard to keep motivation up when drops is lacking.
But reached 3333 mil atm.

Added my latest (and only alive) guardian to the table. Gloom will now farm/run and hopefully not die to inattention.
Corrected some misaligned rows as well cus It was annoying :whistling:

First of all a big grats to Zaliqai . Hopefully i'll get there too someday.
Haven't really made much progress, but passing the 2.8 bar made it time for an update.
Fun fact: With this update passed Dune 3 times at once (his necro, sorc and barb).
And a question: Why is Snow_Ploppy still on the table? Since she's RIP i doubt she'll ever get to 99 (now that would be an achievement:nod.

Next stop 98

[...]And a question: Why is Snow_Ploppy still on the table? Since she's RIP i doubt she'll ever get to 99 (now that would be an achievement:nod.

I think it's about as likely as 95% of the other characters in the table are going to make it

Haha, great comment. And accurate too i think.

well did the ancients quest and quite a few more diabloruns and reached a new mark 3.4 bil.
And Snowy_Ploppy wont make a comeback from death. She died 2 computers ago.

Keep it up DX. I'm eager to see the thread featuring the first non-baaled 99 character on the SPF

DX: did you just completed ancient quests?
and well done with your motivation

Yeah Bass Ancient is done so it's pure grindning in CS from now on.
A minor update another 20 mil this weekend, but now work have started so less time for me

Has anyone tried runing Nihlathak to reach 99?
On a good map you shoul be able to kill him in 1 min i guess ( even less with a sorc or Enigma ). How much Nihlathak runs should it take to reach lvl 99?

Nil's exp at 98:
840804 (Nil's base experience) * 4.5 (players 8) * .0059 (lvl 98 exp penalty) =
22K
And that's makes about 11K runs for 98 - 99 if you save the Ancient's quest and off the cuff I would guess around 20K total

Now you spoiled my plan! I wanted to run Nihlatak to 99 as the first player ever without others knowing! Only need those runes for Enigma... :whistling:

well that didnt spoil the plan, my plan was to run nihlathak on p8 at lvl 98 and did get some millions but was too booooring

Now you spoiled my plan! I wanted to run Nihlatak to 99 as the first player ever without others knowing! Only need those runes for Enigma... :whistling:

Sorry, but I've already planned to try to make a quick turn around after this 99 and go for another running him too.
Of course I've got to finished this one first so who knows how far out that is.

I did some calculations, and this is what I got:
From level 90 to 94 there is an additional penalty because Nihlatak is a higher level than you are (it's char level/Monster level), which gets multiplied by your level modifier.

Interesting, I guess I overlook how much the minions help out early on (and thus fall off later). His runs just don't have the dramatic increase that you see in CS and Baal runs.
On baal, you're only 36% of the way there when you reach 98. Very interesting.
Hmm 6x the total baal runs, you really need to be able to hit sub 45 second runs for it to be even close to as efficient.
Hmm, but with 1/4th the drop odds of pindle, that may only be 10 tc87s for the whole thing, that's discouraging. Ah well, exp running has never been just about the items.

Yeah, I thought the same while doing those numbers. Considering the number of runs, it seems it would only be worth running Nihlatak from 98 to 99, on earlier levels Baal runs net you far more experience per minute invested.
Some more calculations:
So basically, if you can run Baal in 200 seconds average, you'd have to run Nihlatak in under 53 seconds in order to get from 98 to 99 to be more efficient.
But already from 97 to 98 one would have to be super fast: under 24.3 seconds needed to compare to Baal runs.
Even if you're a slow Baal runner with 5 mins per run, you'd still have to beat 36.4 seconds to be more efficient from level 97 to 98.
But for 98 --> 99, Nihlatak seems like a reasonable choice.
Btw, about the items: Considering the minion's and Baal's drop I doubt that they are much better
EDIT: Of course, one would also have to take into accounte the Ice Spawns at Nihlatak's place. But they don't give that much XP: 36607*4.5=164731 on /p8. Let's say you kill 10 of them on each run, that results in (see edited code box above)
As you can see, XP from Nihlatak's minions (which don't even count as minions) is negligible after reaching level 94. That is due to their low monster level (81) which gets upgraded to 84 because of the area level. As soon as you reach level 94, the maximum penalty for level difference kicks in (multiplier of 0.05).

Sorry, but I've already planned to try to make a quick turn around after this 99 and go for another running him too.

Omg Jj's gone mad.....

I was thinking... Should I wait for 2 Bers (currently at 1.5k LK runs) for an infinity for a gg light sorc, or should I make a blizzballer instead? For 99 of course...

@ grisu, dont forget thhat if you go pure Nihlathak you have chance of expshrine, shouldnt be to hard if you pop some shrines in act 1 before entering Nihlathaks place. And the 40 million Ancients Exp at lvl 98 should be taken into account aswell

But the shorter runs and lower exp really eat up the value of exp shrine hunting. Its possible, obviously it will depend on the speed of the run. How long were your runs taking you?

An update to my tally. Another 11 million exp over nearly 6 weeks. 80,000 approx xp per run makes level 99 a daunting task. I was planning to do this with half a dozen odd runs in a session before swapping to other characters but clearly I'm gunna need to throw some full night sessions in as well If Im gunna do this.
Interesting read on the Nilathak info. Out of the question for a Melee runner without Tele.
Another possibility is Eldritch. He's worth 2,800 odd exp for the group on players 8 level 98 which is stuff all, but he is an easy and fast kill.
If for example I'm averaging 5:30 minutes for baal which is around 80,000 xp, 20 second Eldritch runs, 16.5 runs x 2,800 = 46,200 xp for the same time.
But, melee has the odd abandoned run with baal due to OK overload in the throne room. If you take into consideration 1/4 abandoned runs loosing 60 seconds for the run in, the numbers get closer.
Biggest advantage is no IM and next to no chance of dying for melee. No matter what aura he spawns it isn't a threat with only Holy freeze slowing the run down.
Nilathak for telewalkers, Eldritch for melee?
Edit.
Also fixed positions 4 & 5 to the right order for XP tally.

I think Eldritch doesn't have more than 9 minions, so you'd only get 2280 XP per run (note: these are only calculations - I don't have a level 98 character to try it out...)
That way, you'd still need 127,658 Eldritch runs on p8 to get from level 98 to 99...ok, considering the Ancients it would be 110,114 runs. Even with 20 sec runs, we're talking about 600+ hours here. Even with 6 minutes run time you'd get 6000 Baal runs in in that time :whistling:
But you're right: No IM, very safe, you could maybe even take off some resist gear to enhance your killing speed. With Harmony on switch runs could be even faster.
...AND: Eldritch's minions can drop DF and the like - considering Baal's drop rates, they might even compare

But the shorter runs and lower exp really eat up the value of exp shrine hunting. Its possible, obviously it will depend on the speed of the run. How long were your runs taking you?

Well didnt time it with shrinehunting but the time varies quite abit depending on how much that little necromancer teleport. From 30-40 seconds upto more than a minute. One time he managed to tele away from that area so had a hard time tracking him down.

Ok, at, lets say 50 seconds a run average, so you would need to find the exp shines and get back in under 20 seconds (average again) to improve your exp/time.
I don't know how fast the shrine hunting is, but that's pretty quick, but not impossible.
Dang, Dx. Now you've got me looking at the numbers again and thinking I should start in on shrines immediately instead of waiting for 98 on my CS runner.

Well I timed a few runs with my clock since I cant get the runcounter to run in full screen mode and when I opened all seals looked through all my shrines and killed diablo the clock stopped at 2.20, I open all seals on 1.20 on average

Ok, I've been making some updates to my run counter lately, and specifically, I can vouch for about 20 seconds to kill diablo, that leaves 40 seconds for shrine hunting. That simply won't be worth it for nithilthank.
Perhaps something can be improved there but its looking bad for shrine hunting when running him.

I was thinking... Should I wait for 2 Bers (currently at 1.5k LK runs) for an infinity for a gg light sorc, or should I make a blizzballer instead? For 99 of course...

I'd suggest going for the character you enjoy playing the most, since you'll be spending a loooong time with it... Both are good builds, and one being marginally faster than the other doing runs won't amount to much IMO.

Removed Gloom from the table. Died halfway to 90...while doing Pindle runs. Mara's, gheeds, 3 skillers, a ton of great charms and oh so much more, all lost :banghead:
Not sure what I could've done to avoid it, got cursed, charged by one of the mobs and my lifebulb dropped to a slimmer, then bam deeds! Time to rebuild. Getting to 99 might take a lot longer than expected, if I ever make it.

Sorry to hear about that Aerogear.
Just finished an almost 9 hour stint and got my goal on 20 million today. Will hopefully have a equal big upgrade tomorrow

"only" managed to get 8 million yesterday and now it's 1 week of work so prolly no more serious running until friday night or so. GL all

I think Eldritch doesn't have more than 9 minions, so you'd only get 2280 XP per run (note: these are only calculations - I don't have a level 98 character to try it out...)
That way, you'd still need 127,658 Eldritch runs on p8 to get from level 98 to 99...ok, considering the Ancients it would be 110,114 runs. Even with 20 sec runs, we're talking about 600+ hours here. Even with 6 minutes run time you'd get 6000 Baal runs in in that time :whistling:
But you're right: No IM, very safe, you could maybe even take off some resist gear to enhance your killing speed. With Harmony on switch runs could be even faster.
...AND: Eldritch's minions can drop DF and the like - considering Baal's drop rates, they might even compare

I worked on an average of ten runs for the xp figure I quoted. There where a few extra monsters in the pot as well as Eldritch's buddies which obviously account for the extra xp.
I'm giving Eldritch a bit of a go because it's safe, I can turn my brain off and simply turn them over, no fear or OK's, no abandoned runs and it breaks the monotony to some degree untill I can realise another safe easy to run to target for a tele less runner. I think i'll head south too and pop shenk and his buddies and see what xp I can get per minute there.

Another almost 9 hours stint complete and another 20 million gained, at this pace I will be done at sunday next week. Would really like to complete it before thursday though since D2 will have competition against NHL10 which arrives on thursday
Although that would require a hell of a sunday with like 16 to 17 hours of playing and I'm pretty sure I cant manage that but would put me with like 15 mil left which would be managable on 3 days after work

Really close now DX, keep up the good work!

Watch out Dx, here I come.

Nice scud, 98 now.
I will go with big D on p7 and rest on p1 it will save me about 5 hours doing so, so only 15 hours left now

Grats scud!
And go go DX, almost there ... What's your build btw?

It's a Hammerdin running CS and Diablo

Yay top 30 with frenzy.

Good luck with those last runs DX!

A bit of an update - since its been about a year. My previous 93-er is still at 93, but I've got a new 93-er added (PureBlizzard).

Last milestone before 99 reached yesterday 3.500 mark. Will try and make the final stint now if I can keep it up I will be done in about 10 hours or so. Will be a long stint after 8 hours of work today

I did a new hammerdin for CS running. It is onl level 90 but I want to know when I started with that. Beacuse from 1 to 90 was quite easy and that taked me 3 days 1 day 1-60 rush , 2 day 60-83 Act V NM running on P7 and then hell pit on p7 , Day3 83-90 in pit on p7 . Now I started with CS so I will see how far I will be able to go this time
Also updated all my old chars with some progress I di during last year from their last update

Table of runners:

Bit of an update from regular runs here and there. 6 million exp earnt in total since my last update. That's 2 million exp per month.....:whistling:
Hoping to finish making characters once my latest reaches Matriarch, currently in act 4 hell then I'll be concentrating on leveling some of my pallies.
Mostly My Schaeferdin but also I'm aiming for level 96 with my avenger for the last skill point in vengeance synergies and I think some more play time on my ele templar could be good too.

The new CS-viable build list with ranking:
#1 Light sorc/Blizz sorc/Hammerdin: I managed ~80 sec runs at tops when rushing for Diablo
#2 WW Barbarian <- Not nearly as fast for p8/p8 runs, but easily as fast at p1/p8
#3 Javazon <- Could be above WW barb, haven't tested thoroughly yet, the main concern is the low casting rate
Zealot, Trapper, Overlord or PNova nec should be good doable too, not tried yet.
I think Wind druid is still too slow at killing Diablo himself.
Doing p1/p8 runs I managed to get down to 60 sec runs with a lightning sorc at 50k exp per run... If you keep this pace and save up nm+hell ancients you're looking at just 97 hours from 98-99 in terms of gameplay opposed to 206 hours doing 17 baalruns per hour with no ancients saved. I guess i'll have to make that 99 in SP after all to wrap things up for me.

Haven't done a lot more testing on the new builds but light sorc meets immune sealbosses relatively often and her merc isn't that powerful especially since you pretty much need holy freeze to be safe. Speaking of safety, playing without block in the CS is very risky, even more so if you don't have glacial spike making another bad point for the light sorc.
Atleast java can jab LI bosses along with her mercenary.
This is for hammerdins only:
Now, through some tests I have calculated that killing most bosspacks you meet on your way is worthwhile even at level 97 in terms of exp. I tested this by measuring exp/sec in a sample of straight-seals-diablo runs versus a sample of packs-seals-diablo runs.
Until lvl 96 you're still best off skipping Diablo entirely, the only reason I did seals was because of the bonus drops granted as you open the last seal and kill the last boss.

Started new character for next CS 99:er. Lightning Javazon lvl 91 atm. Not as fast as hammerdin but not too bad

5 weeks Holiday over xmas. Lots of time available for Baal running. I thought I had previously updated my progress in december to a total of 2.28x or so in december. I must have updated and not edited the xp figure. Oh well.
Oh for the record, I am not taking the advantage of v1.13 here for the glorious hobbling of OK's. Seems more of a challenge to me to do level 99 with a pure melee while dealing with OK's in the throne room (meaning dropped runs).
I think Im gunna enjoy v1.13 when it's finally released assuming IM gets hobbled. Those OK's will be minching pixel dirt then.
I also managed to level my avenger to 96 which was a goal of mine so as to get all his vengeance synergies to level 20. 85% resist all is very nice.

Adding my paladin to the mix. The build is your standard cheesadin with HoZ instead of Spirit. Targets are CS and Nihlatak, too lazy to use a work-around for Baal's second wave.

Thanks to the 900 runs in the MFO, I made it to the better side of the 3 billion mark
Also, it looks like I can only make any serious progress during the MFO's... So, I expect to hit 99 in about 5 or 6 years

Hmmmm, maybe this will keep me motivated to continue leveling my 1.07 FO/Static sorcy. Look, there I am, one from the bottom; go me! Without the benefits of /players8, this will be a long journey indeed...

Sorry but couldn't let that last too long, updated as "Zeus" is now at level 91. I should add the rest of my chars in here at some point.
Joosh

Time to enter my 98 Light Sorc (still 1.11). I really hope I did not mess up the table/leave someone out. I double-checked but can someone please check as well?

HA! I went back around one person! Woot! It's sad though that even if I work the rest of the weekend, I might only pass one more guy. 1.07 is not condusive to climbing this list!

This list is designed for the 1.1x experience model. There was a long discussion about it a few years back and it was decided to keep pre 1.10 versions out of this list.
Granted 1.07 doesn't have the advantages of some of the other versions but still, the ranking was never meant to be relevant to earlier versions.

Hey Corrupted, you copied the wrong table and didn't get my most recent update to level 83 where I went around one person into 2nd-to-last place! Or maybe you did it on purpose since jjscud said my 1.07 char isn't supposed to be in the table... Either way, I re-updated the list, now that I made it to 900MM exp.

He likely did it on purpose - the table is intended for 1.10+ characters. Didn't there used to be a 1.07 thread, or am I remembering wrong? You could try to dig that up (unless I'm mistaking it for a different forum :S)

Solar Ice, you should give Nihlathak a shot if you aren't already and you feel like switching it up. The exp/time ratio is far better than baal-running. Not a lot of exciting drops though

Didn't consider Nihlathak, due to potential difficulty compared to Baal. Death at clvl 98 is just t3h suck...:whistling: How safe would Nihlathak runs be for a Light Sorc (very well geared), comparitively?

Changed my mind. Continue my CL/FO sorc

Nature's Peace and one more source of DR and its really quite safe.

Dumping the merc might be a good idea too. I haven't had a single problem from the snakes after that.

I've entered my 1.12 BlizzSorc, Mercury. You have to start somewhere, hey?

Yep, though removing all the links (how the heck did you do that?) perhaps wasn't...
Good luck with Mercury!

Right then, I'm on the table. 1.13b CE is going to get me to 99, even if nothing else does...

Oops...
[font style="color:#fde0b4; font-weight:bold;"]EmperorMoo[/font] notice you made the same mistake as I did. You removed the links in the heros table
I think quote the post instead of copy-pasting?
Anyway Mercury is up one spot. :jig:

Past the 3.1 billion mark
Better progress than I expected, 50M in a month. Maybe it won't take me three years!

2 kids, 2 jobs, a new house...I haven't exactly been racking the kills in D2. But no matter how many months off, my sweet blue icon is waiting for me when I have a spare hour.
Hence, not a ton of progress in almost a year. Two people passed me to 99? Ouch. But at the rate Blizzard is going I have a chance at getting there before D3 arrives!

No longer last in the table, anyhow.
Thx to SmLnine for fixing my messed up quote/copy thing. Hopefully properly done this time.

Welcome to the next level.

[font style="color:#fde0b4; font-weight:bold;"]EmperorMoo[/font] I noticed you set your date to 21-04-2010, corrected that for you. I also noticed I've passed you again
It's fun racing someone that hasn't done several thousand baalruns!

It's fun racing someone that hasn't done several thousand baalruns!

You could always see how many levels you can pick up before I hit 3.400. My guess is 96th.

[font style="color:#fde0b4; font-weight:bold;"]SmLnine[/font] Your clvl in your last post was 84 - I assume you're now at 86, like myself.
You're going to race ahead of me very fast, I would expect. Sorcs are made for baalrunning, and you don't have to summon an army before you start.
But you're right, a bit of competition keeps things like this ticking along nicely

Slog slog slog. Whackety pow, die monsters die, hello Baal, Whack, pow, goodbye Baal, usual junk on the ground, new game.
Gee, the monotony really gets to you after a while. Hey, looky there. V1.13c. No more Iron maiden curse from OK's. That means with a simple patch install I could be force feeding every OK on the map a healthy dose of Schaefers hammer to the head with out fear of loosing the last 3 months worth of exp runs.
Gee. That's tempting. But so is getting to level 99 with a melee character in Pre v1.13c. All those rune drops I'd miss if I continue in v1.12.... Decisions decisions. Need more beer. :guiness:

All those rune drops I'd miss if I continue in v1.12.... Decisions decisions. Need more beer. :guiness:

If it helps any, I got Gul on my second Baal run under 1.13. The runes I hope to get from all those Baal runs is exactly why I upgraded.
Not trying to keep my merc alive against OKs is also pretty nice, but not game-changing for a blizz-pow.

I read somewhere that leveling from 98 to 99 takes as long as from 1 to 98. Assuming that's true I guess 97 to 98 takes as long as maybe 1 to 95 or 96.
My point is if you really want to reach level 99 and you don't have perfect necromancer gear lying around, the next five levels could take you longer than for example building a sorc up to 87. You get what I'm saying?
That's assuming you actually plan on reaching level 99. Because I don't think I'll ever reach it. Not with the gear I have ATM! I mean a Ball run takes about 20 minutes on average
It's just something I do for fun while I wait for a nice MF tournament or something.

Well, I thought about upgrading to V1.13c for about 5 minutes. Enough time to attempt two Baal runs, both abandoned due to OK's in the throne room. So I jumped on line and updated.
Three runs later I had a swarm of OK's in the throne room. With Bated breath I zealed my way thru, expecting to see my pally come crashing down at any second. 30 seconds later, 50 odd OK's lay dead on the ground and both Pally and Merc stood triumphant.
Sweet.
Freshly motorvated for Baal runs once again I put the hours in over the weekend. Enough for just over 5 million exp, around 55 runs.
So, what do I think of Baal runs in v1.13c? Well, what do I do with all these festering essenses of destruction? I picked up the first half dozen or so and then started leaving them behind. They are useless, right?
Hydra has been amped up. Wave 3 the councillors are now the most dangerous wave now as they hydra damage is the only thing that threatens my merc and I have to feed him a red or purple to save on 50,000 GP. Not that getting potions is a problem, the drop rate of all pots including full rejuvs has been amped up as well.
Runes? Yeah. Runes. Try a Vex and Mal from one weekend worth not too mention the lower end runes, Shael, Hel, Io, LUm, Fal, etc. I can see the value of runes up to Vex being worth much less now.
Just got to figure out what to do with the runes now!

I have been running Teh Kowzz of late in search of HRs and with some success. The XP is better than running Pindeh on players 8, too.

My Baal runs also take approx 20 mins, on /p3. My plan is to carry about 200%+ MF to lvl 95, and hope teh good stuffz drops between here and there.
I do plan eventually on getting to 99, but it's probably going to take a couple of years.

How is your merc geared? I noticed the hydras sting a bit more but I haven't had to change much other than NOT stand in the remaining hydras after the councilors are dead. (Kira-Sol, GA-Sol for mine)

No they are not useless, the cube recipe with essences does work for SP, another respec is the result. Of course weather you need one or two or 50 on hand is an entirely different question.

[jjscud]

what/'s the recipe? and is it for skill or stats or both?

One of each of the four essences transmute to a Token of absolution. Right clicking the token resets all statpoints and skillpoints.
Edit.
The Essences are dropped by the act bosses.
Each boss drop one specific essence. And Andariel and Duriel drop the same essence.

How is your merc geared? I noticed the hydras sting a bit more but I haven't had to change much other than NOT stand in the remaining hydras after the councilors are dead. (Kira-Sol, GA-Sol for mine)

Not exactly sure off hand, but the merc is geared towards physical damage reduction, The reapers toll polearm, Gladiators bane c/w Sol rune and either a vampire gaze or harley with another Sol rune. In v1.12 the merc did ok against the two worst waves, 4 & 5 as they are physical damage so now with 75% fire resists and no absorb, a dozen or so hydra's on screen are really pasting the merc.

Another respec? onder: That about as useful as a eighth hole in the head!

That seems like an overload on PDR, but I'm not in a position to give advice to someone not using teleport. It looks like you're in a tough spot with wave 3 if you really need all that PDR on him. Maybe try Gaze and pop a Mal in there instead of Sol?

10 million exp into 1.13 and I hit a Cham. I like to think I was due for a super-HR anyway, but I can't deny the 1.13 powah. At this rate I'll have another 14 HR before I'm done!

Merc set up is actually a harley socketed with a scintillating jewel of something, in order to give the merc 75% resist all.
It might be an overload of damage reduction, but it keeps the merc safe for waves 4 & 5. Lister and co are only a problem when fanatism + stone skin so it takes a while to take em out giving them time to wail on the merc and kill him. about the only time in v1.12 that I'd loose the merc. The combo of fanatism + stone skin is rare, so I just take it on the chin. Continue solo without the merc then TP back to town, ressurect the merc and go back in for Baal.
If I change to a fire absorb set up and see how that goes but im guessing less deaths from hydra, will equal more deaths from lister. Catch 22. :-|

Added my level 90 sorc.

1500 runs to go! I grabbed Ohm from a random throneroom baddie about 16 mil after my Cham...I'll keep tracking the frequency of the slick rune drops and be sure to include a haul pic in my 99 thread.
More important news: just went from a dinosaur desktop to a too-cool-for-me laptop. I'm having trouble adjusting to the key placement and the pointer sensitivity and I can't figure out screenshots. On the other hand, the total absence of load-lag at any point is pretty gg.

My first real try at 99. Ambrosia is running p/8 Pits right now, but will move on to something like p/4 Baal when she hits the 90's

Hmm needed a new goal in D2 so why not another lvl 99, a sorceress this time and surprise she is going for CS too, same as my Hammerdin although this one have done the ancients quest and made it to matriarch.
She is lvl 94 doing about 12K Blizz damage and my merc with eth reapers fort and Andy's visage doing 7.3K damage and take care of the Ok's

Good luck to you, DX. I did a few tests in CS with my blizzballer and even without much efficiency I found it quite fast. With your expertise and some optimization, I think you can overtake your hammerbot.

Finally managed to make some progress now that I decided to stop dying every time I start getting somewhere.

How to add entry to the table?

Quote the previous made table, copy into notepad to align the text in columns easily (use spaces for aligning,) remove
[div class="bbCodeBlock-content"]
[div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent "]
tags from start and end of text, and add info.
Then just copy the information back into the message post and submit.
[div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink"][a]Click to expand...[/a]

now I have one more little question, should I change the rank for all people after me?
I somehow get 2 46 rank in the table

It's been 33 days since 1.13 was released and the battle.net ladders were reset.
I just reached [a href="[URL]http://i42.tinypic.com/mst3n.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]level 98[/a] a couple of hours ago, currently sitting at rank 7 on the european LoD hardcore ladder. I'm hoping to make rank 2 before 99 or at the very least 3, but we'll see what happens in the next week or two
[/hijack]

Table fixed. Spent a couple of hours on and off looking for Diablo's essence.
Onwards and upwards!

That's impressive Corr, keep us updated and good luck!

It's been 33 days since 1.13 was released and the battle.net ladders were reset.
I just reached [a href="[URL]http://i42.tinypic.com/mst3n.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]level 98[/a] a couple of hours ago, currently sitting at rank 7 on the european LoD hardcore ladder. I'm hoping to make rank 2 before 99 or at the very least 3, but we'll see what happens in the next week or two
[/hijack]

After a long day of ~290 baalruns I'm [a href="[URL]http://i41.tinypic.com/5z02sm.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]back up there[/a] and feeling quite confident it'll last the final stretch, expecting to finish on Wednesday.
My buddy Gumle finished this Wednesday, he already has a level 95 sorc though :badteeth:

A little embarassing to be passed with ~40 days of effort.
gg corr

ziambe[/span]"]
A big hats off to you guys. I just leveled a char to 94 for the first time ever and I want to rip my eyes out from boredom...how do you do it????

Basically, I kept saying it was impossible to go beyond 95 and kept laughing at the guys who did it until...poof! I was one of them. Sort of embarassing, actually.

Moved my sorc up - level 92 - just over 2 bill

It's [a href="[URL]http://i43.tinypic.com/mccjf7.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]done[/a]
[a href="[MEDIA=youtube]h9b_Eh8lGOE[/MEDIA]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]Video[/a] of the final run and some channel spammage
[/endhijack]

5 days to drop 100 mil? 250 runs/day? Very impressive. I'm doing well to hit 2-3 mil/day.
gg noob.

Corrupted
Impressive stuff there!
The slog continues.

Congrats Corr! Never knew that you were a dane.

Congrats Corr. Nice comeback from your sorc and well deserved 2nd place =)

100 million to go! I'm hoping I can pick up the pace with summer coming, but no doubt something will come up.

Moved up a couple of spots so might as well make an update.

After being able to make infinity last week my lightning sorc has gone from close to lvl 91 to now a solid lvl 95 by running Baal. So i thought it was time to add her to the table.
Removed my lvl 96 pally because i think i won't play him for a long time since i like the lightning sorc and i feel the Baalruns are safer (even more so if i could make some more improvements on my gear).

Experience provided by the MF Tourney.

Last big landmark before 3.500! Exactly(ish) 1000 runs to go. I nabbed a Mal in the 3.430s, but no really good runes since before 3.400. My stash of Baal items is looking pretty sweet though.
I've got 2 weeks of vacation coming up soon. We'll see what kind of stuff my old hands are made of then.

DX's character should probably be removed from the list, no?

Eric: Nice going! Hope to see some good progress in those 2 weeks.

DX's character should probably be removed from the list, no?

Most people here (and most likely the one with the green gavel) will agree with you.
For what my personal opinion is worth (not very much, I realize), however, I feel that if DX did hack, as he got banned for, he didn't do it until the Tomby, and the achievement should stand. I'm not convinced that DX did hack at all (and I don't think I'm the only one), but I'll leave it at that as far as sharing my opinion in public, so as to not cause any flame wars and derail the thread.
[font style="color:#fde0b4; font-weight:bold;"]I don't recall giving you my opinion on the matter, DC. Please don't attempt to speak for me. Thanks. - Thyiad[/font]
EDIT: Sorry Thy - you're right, I don't know your opinion on this one.

Gratz on the progress Eric. Only 1k runs left. Shouldn't be to hard right?
As for my own progress. Chainlightning just did her 500th Baalrun and since she also just lvl-ed, i thought it was time for another update.
This also meant she moves up to the 3rd place on my personal ranking list. The just removed Possessed (96) and the still on the table Lightning_speed (97) are still ahead of her.

Updating my sorceress Sorceress - up to mid-way between 93 and 94. 130-140 ish AT runs until 94. Picking up some nice grailers on the way.

Removed my sorceress who died doing lk runs three weeks ago and added the pally I made to replace her. Currently sitting at 94..will probably be 95 on wednesday unless RL invades scheduled playtime.

750 to go. Getting a good groove at 3 mil/day. I think at 4 my hand would claw up and my neck would be shot.

Though I doubt he'll ever make it I just wanted to update my Paladin's progress.
Good luck with those last runs Eric!

A mere 500 to go. Getting giddy. Sadly I'm getting called into work during my vacation so I don't know if I can hit 3.495 by Sunday as planned.

Nice. You could respec and wrap it up with CS you know, its faster

"Dance with the one what brung ya."
I'm not even sure I need to respec...I fiddled with CS for a few runs to see what all the fuss was about. It's darn fast. But the theme of this character is old, broken down, and too stubborn to stop.

Time for an update since i'm a little over halfway.
Could've been more if i didn't get fried last night by heavy gloam activity. Died 3 times in total (2 for getting body back). The merc constantly made gloams fire my direction instead of engaging and killing them. However, in the end i did get all my bodies back. At the expence of ~20 mln exp.
She also moved up to 2nd place on my personal ranking list passing my pally. Only my amazon Lightning_speed still ahead. So now she's gonna chase her. But first target is the lvl 97 mark.
Personally i prefer running Baal and not Diablo. Imo safer -> in CS lots of different curses to take into account for Baal it's just decrepify. And better drops -> more monsters have a change of dropping TC87's and i'm still waiting for my Tyrael's (though i did get a near perfect dweb last week, which also was a grailie).
GL on the final stretch Eric .

Figured an long-awaited update was necessary for accuracy's sake.

A little update. 50 left until the real pain starts

Entered the table on position 108, have finally made my CTA and now will start the baalruns ;-). Is it just me being ignorant or is there an easy way to update the table?

Bit overdue for an update. Now pardon me, I've got to drop in on cousin Baal again and again and again.

Chainlightning just finished 1k Baal runs. Or her first thousand Baal runs i should say since i'm not planning to stop here. Also took me just acros the 97 border.
Runedrops were disappointing, but other drops made up for that. For those who are curious here's the highlights of the drops (most have been posted in the IFT)

Welcome to the next level. Did a little overtime with the running these few days to level up. But now it's time for zzzzzzzzzz.

Hit level 96 yesterday and did a decent sum of damage today. Patiently waiting for sur/ber/jah then I can finally make enigma and speed these runs up a bit.

Table of runners:
Hit 3.29, got 100th cathan seal today, suddenly found out that I have more Isenhart's Case at 103. still not got Sander's Paragon yet. might be little to hard to get a qlvl 99 Sander's Paragon :jig:

THIS IS THE FINAL ROUND!
(man does that 5 look awesome)

Ugh...the progress is slow indeed. I managed to roll 3 shrines on the way to Nihl though which should decrease the number of runs a little.

The last level. Can't tell you how excited I am to get ~70K xp/run instead of my 225K from last level.

Edit: or to do just under 4K runs (estimated: 3,921) at this level. Should only take me 230.91 hrs @ 3:30/run...

Halfway to 98!

Nice going fellas, its been a while since this was actually competitive. I might join in with my paladin for the heck of it
CRG: Try CS

This time I got almost 500 runs without dying. Is that enough to actually make it to 99?
On a side note, I'm closing 1500 runs without a TC87. I'm not happy.

Made it to lvl 92

This time I got almost 500 runs without dying. Is that enough to actually make it to 99?

Without doing the calculations, I'm going to say no.

Actually, after doing something resembling a calculation, it's a yes. With very rough numbers, if you get the corpse, I think you lose something over 100 runs. If you don't get the corpse, you'd lose almost 500 runs. This was assuming you get ~60k/run at lvl98, which was based on the 5000 runs from 98->99 and the needed exp of +290M.
But anyway, from now on, dolls in the throne means S&E for me. Dolls with witches/OK's means a panicked S&E.
But where's the guy to tell me not to drink while playing?

By my calcs, I'm 1.7473 percent of the way done with clvl 98. 'Tis slow going playing one hour at a time.

Managed to hit 97 today and did some work towards 98. Highest clvl ever! Small accomplishment with a long road ahead...well, back to the cs

Rawr. I promote you all one spot!
99 Post coming soon.

Big gratz Eric!

Congrats!

Congratulations, a huge feat.

Congratulations! Impressive!

Table of runners:

Thought I would update my standings. I have an up and comer Icy_Hell who has just reached 94 with what seemed liked endless baal runs. Hope for her to reach 95 by end of the week

Table of runners:

As promised, I got my sorc to 95 in a matter of 2 days. Im going to take a break and do some LK runs and magic finding. After I get some elite gear, I will make my run at 99

Eternal Tenacity please remove the quote tags next time you post an update, I could not use your table and had to use the one from the post before and update your position as well.
Leveled my sorceress from 92 to 93, all runs completely on players 3

Closing in on 98... then comes the pain.

After hitting level 95 (hardcore) I decided it was time to add my Sorc, Lulu, to the list. She got there doing mostly pindle, along with some baal (not very much) and Ancient Tunnels. Very proud, as this is two levels higher than I've ever gotten, even on battle.net.
On another note, I had to go through and manually change all the numbers below me. Is there a simpler way to format this stuff that I'm missing? :scratchchin:

Nope, sadly the only way is to edit everything manually.

[jjscud]

Only 20 million in a month. I really need to step up.

1.13C HC Colinda reached lvl 94, baal was very stingy with drops from 93-94, hope he gives me some nicer stuff by the time I reach 95

Had three days off work in a row, so I put them to use. Managed to hit 98 and make a tiny step towards the final level. I still have my hell ancients quest in reserve but I think I'll save that for the final 40 mil.

Well done! Keep up the solid progress. Are you doing p1 for the seals now? I find that drops are already significantly reduced when you stop killing bosspacks and go for the seals only, so you could add a little speed by doing them on p1.
Will you be next? Or will Kimppi be a contender? jjscud coming out of the shadows? or another lurker? Time will tell! :badteeth:

Are you doing p1 for the seals now?

Yah, once I hit 98 I messed around with the player settings a little. Doing everything at p7 resulted in about 24k from seals and bosspacks. Diablo with xp shrine was around 73K. Since the bosspack experience is pretty much nothing compared to Diablo I have done almost all of 98 so far at p1 seals then p7 Diablo.

I've been getting around 5 mill a day so far. Days when I don't work I usually end up a little over 10. Progress should speed up in two weeks once semester starts and I work a lot less.

1500 runs to go, can't wait

Phew :nervous: made it to the next lvl. Only 1 more to go. Had 3 deaths (2 body recoveries) which cost me ~160 runs extra to get there. Hopefully i won't die anymore since it'll probabely cost me even more runs then.
Though for now i think her progress will slow down a bit since i have some other projects to finish (both D2 and RL) that i've been putting off.
Way to go Wielanja & Elevenlang. Keep up the good work .

Still rolling along with an average of slightly more than 5 mill/day. 127 million down, 124 million to go. Then ancients and lvl 99! :cloud9:

Nice going there. I was planning for monthly updates but apparently I've only gotten 4mill in August :whistling:. Oh well.

Added my level 94 Hammerdin to the ranks.

Sitting a mere 68 million until ancients will get me to 99! Aiming for next Friday so I'll need to average about 6.8 mill/day. Should be manageable.
Edit: Moved everyone up one spot.

After months of baal runs. Finally bring everybody up one spot:yes:

God damn it, apart that nub wolfie there, still no Barbs hitting 99??
Damn I should clean the dust of my 97 Frenzier and finish this - but would be too easy now when IM is not around (as I heard in 1.13?).
Hi all btw.

Added my frostzealot into the mix. I'm sure I try to get him into 99, but I'm not sure when.

A relatively small update, but Chainlightning has moved up a couple of spots.
Experience is even harder to come by then i thought. Took me forever to just get some white back on the exp bar. It's still a weird thought that my merc already reached his final lvl. Why the hell did they even cap them at 98?
Also got a question for those Baalrunners out there. I've seen a lot of Diablorunners go for exp shrines just before the kill. So far i've tried it 2 times with Baal. The first time it worked (though i'm not sure if i got more exp than without), the second time he put that curse on me that lowers your defense so no luck there. So my question is: Would it be worth it to do the same with Baal or should i stop wasting time like that and just kill him asap?

I will add my friend DeadLarry here since I am slowly pushing him up through the levels. I have no idea if I will be able to go all the ay to 99 but here is a try at least! He is halfway to 87 at the moment, a fishymancer so rather safe but also very slow. I usually play him when I have finished with my other character for the day, I do some running with him and it is fun!

@Cyrax: I have been asking myself the same question and was trying to keep track of how often he casts the defense curse. It seems that the curse goes off most of the time, so the tradeoff is minimal.
The most promising way that comes to my mind it to teleport right on top of him when he has only a sliver of life left, create a TP to get the shrine, since he's more likely to melee you instead as you come back.
With a L/CL build, you are likely to make use of the shrine against the waves, since you can keep your distance.
EDIT: I gave it a try, and it is certainly doable as long as you have a map with high concentration of shrines near a WP. With my luck, it was more like an act1 full-clear

I've been trying a bit myself too. Personally, i don't think the waves are the place to have an exp shrine active. Firstly because of repositioning (either yourself or merc). That can cause you to be hit with decrepify. Secondly, a lot of times the boss is cursed so you lose the shrine.
The other option seems to be working out better. I've had several good attempts with going for the shrine just before killing Baal.
This raises another question for me. When is it profitable to go shrinehunting (if at all)? For now i've done with one shrine which i pass on the way to the throne anyway, so i don't lose any time checking if it's a exp shrine. But Diablorunners seem to check several places for the right shrine. However, you don't find one every time, which means you just waste time on some runs with nothing to show for it. So how often do you find the right shrine, and when is it profitable to keep searching for that?

You compare the average exp:time ratio for both types of runs.
The thing with doing this for CS is that a) You don't really need any specific criteria for a level 98 CS map, thus you can emphasize on rolling a good shrine map (act 1-wise) and b) The time from when you open the final seal and the Diablo spawn initiates is time you can spend getting your shrine. There is no waiting period like this for baal, since you'll just stall him if you leave throne.
Here's the method I used:

Though i was aware of how Diablorunners do this, i didn't consider two things. The first being you can reroll looking for a good shrinemap, which is much harder in Baalrunning since you actually need a good Baalrunning map too. And the second being the waiting period for Diablo.
I think the second isn't that much of a difference since you don't seem to gain a lot of time by the waiting period as opposed to doing that with Baal. The first however is a big advantage. I haven't checked the rest of my Baalmap for nearby shrines, but unless i get lucky i would need to reroll for a good shrinemap which is also fast for getting to Baal.
And thirdly something mentioned in earlier posts is that you have no chance of losing the exp shrine when fighting Diablo, but you do have a chance of losing it when going for Baal.
So all in all i'm leaning more and more towards: not worth it for Baalrunning, unless you get very lucky with a good Baalmap that also has shrines nearby wp's. I guess i'll have to check my wp's to see if i'm that lucky

Damn it Corrupted, I had a nice VoR/FoH Paladin going on but after watching that video I just had to respec him to a Hammer to try for 99 again. I'll add him when he's out of NM and some levels under his belt.

Uhm :scratchchin:, i could be mistaken but in the list you've got a 98 paladin. So why not continue with that? Might be a little easier. Or have you just done a full restart?

Yeah, I did a restart in September.

So I was reading this thread, and while I don't want to make a 99er, I felt compelled to rearrange the table a little, so that all the data is visible. I also standardized dates of update, and arranged it so that all the information is visible on screen without scrolling the horizontal bar.
Does that make me OCD? Yes.
Feel free to ignore these changes and go back to the way things were.

Way to go Greebo . I like it. Much easier on the eyes with this formatting. If you had also copied in the table of heroes in your post it would've been great. Let's hope the next person to update doesn't forget to put these together.
Personally i've been thinking of proposing somekind of cleanup of the table too. Not talking about formatting here, but characters. It seems like there's (lots of?) characters that are going nowhere. Some examples are one with RIP, another one marked retired and apparently also people who restarted which i assume means they'll never play that character again.
I don't mind people hardly ever updating, but knowing there are characters that are never gonna go anywhere kinda annoy me. Only problem i see would be how to know which characters to keep on the table and which ones to delete.
Oh and something i haven't noticed before, but what's the '07' doing in the HC column with #128 in the list? :scratchhead:

Thanks!

Good point. Done.

Personally i've been thinking of proposing somekind of cleanup of the table too. Not talking about formatting here, but characters.

Well, I had a couple of thoughts about that when I was cleaning up the formatting, but seeing as I'm not even in the table I figured it's none of my business.

It seems like there's (lots of?) characters that are going nowhere. Some examples are one with RIP, another one marked retired and apparently also people who restarted which i assume means they'll never play that character again.

Sure, but there's bound to be plenty where status in unknown. Sometimes people just disappear from the forum for various amounts of time; I did. And sometimes (quite often actually) they come back.

I don't mind people hardly ever updating, but knowing there are characters that are never gonna go anywhere kinda annoy me. Only problem i see would be how to know which characters to keep on the table and which ones to delete.

I think if there's a consensus and/or Thyiad agrees, I'd suggest some rule of the sort: if there's no update for 2 years (or 18 months, something) for a character, it gets moved to "Former Contenders" list, or something along those lines. Should the person return to the forum, or pick up an old character after restart, they would just put the entry back into the main table.
Again, I don't mean to upset anyone, and I wouldn't even be writing about the subject if Cyrax hadn't mention it. My opinion doesn't matter in this thread at all, aside from the fact that I might have opinion that someone else likes, which is why I'm writing this post.

Oh and something i haven't noticed before, but what's the '07' doing in the HC column with #128 in the list? :scratchhead:

I assume that's 1.07 version that the person was playing, which would be quite the accomplishment TBH.
--Greebo

Sure, but there's bound to be plenty where status in unknown. Sometimes people just disappear from the forum for various amounts of time; I did. And sometimes (quite often actually) they come back.

This is one of the two main reasons why i suggested to only remove characters that are never gonna be played again. The other reason being that i think their might not be much of a table left.
In case there would be interest in a more thorough clean-up i'd rather see characters just removed from the table instead of moving them to a different one. In that case we'd have three tables to quote and keep neat. And it's easy enough to re-enter a character that has been taken off previously if you decide to pick him/her up again.
But first let's see if there's any interest in something like this at all.

You might want to give a month (or whatever you prefer) notice. Move characters into a different table and if not moved back & updated then when the notice time has gone remove that table.

94-95 took a long time, as I spent most of my time running pindle looking to complete Tal set. Pindle however gave me my second Ber rune when I was about 30 mio away from hitting 95. Even thoug I was often tempeted to make Chains of Honor, I now was really glad I had saved the first Ber al those months. I respecced my sorc from Blizzballer to pure lightning, equiped my merc with Infinity and finally make use of the two lightning skiller that were gathering dust in my stashes.

1.13c HC
More baalrunning, the full light sorc setup is working great, only occasionally a lightning immune lister that I park, all waves on players 8, except 3rd wave on players 3 and baal on players 3 as well. making good progress towards level 96. Doing baal certainly goes quicker than the endless pindle runs I did for 94-95. Baal has given some nice goodies, including a rare dimensional shard :crazyeyes:

I guess I might as well make a reasonable post here instead of my usual rambling..
The second blonde with a pointy wooden stick has finally made it [a href="[URL]http://brood.tlap.cz/images/d2/azalea/finished.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]through[/a]. The forces of Darkness tried to save the situation with immune LIsters in the last three runs, but it just delayed the inevitable
The last few weeks were quite harsh, but I really didn't want this thing control my plans for the Christmas, i.e. peace and relaxation. Thank (Thunder)god, it is finally [a href="[URL]http://brood.tlap.cz/images/d2/azalea/lvl99.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]over[/a].
I will prepare a proper lvl99 thread during tomorrow.. I mean today
Azalea is a pure-lightning javazon, SC 1.12, vanilla.

Big congrats Ugla, very impressive job
Comparable with Hrus's finished selfound grail, thats for sure...I bow to Your effort, sir
I'm waiting for full info very impatiently...

Congratulations! Always amazed to see another level 99 (I still haven't managed to dedicated myself to it properly but I would love to get one done before D3!).
I think we're all awaiting a writeup regarding the character, it'd be nice to know what finds you had along the way too
Joosh

I had to log in to the forums... to say congrats Ugla, big congrats!
So... no more funny stories about your half-vita, non-Valk, non-Avoid, non-Evade zon dying?
Also now that you are lvl 99, you can enlist your zon in the progress table thread, right?
I mean in the heroes table...
@Joosh: he found almost nothing. Everytime we met, he rambled about no items dropping for him. His runefind status was pitiful even for 1.11/1.12 character...

Awsome Ugla, it was cool to be the only zon for a while but with all the effort you've put into the build, I'm in good company.
Even though I gave up waiting for a write up, I still want to see it.

I retired my paladin from the table as I just zipped all my characters and stashes except for my three tourney chars.

Awesome work Ugla! Looking forward to reading your thread and I'm quite interested in her gear.

Congratulations Ugla, fantastic achievement.
Just reading about another 99 been made makes me want to go back to the throne room again.

Congratulations Ugla, very impressive effort.

[jjscud]

Even though I gave up waiting for a write up, I still want to see it.

My apologies, but gathering all the information takes much longer than I would have expected. I am trying to backtrack Azalea's early progress from older posts and screenshots, looking for relevant links etc. I will be away during tomorrow, but I will try to finish the thread in the evening.

I have now reached lvl ** with DeadLarry, I have reset my maps in Hell level, and are now doing the areas again, to not have to run Baal ten million times yet. And p3 gives at least a little more exp. I think that as I get more used to this I will increase to p5 but not yet. So my idea is to walk through an area and for every time I play I also do pits and AT. When I have reached Meph I will include him into my re-running

Just an update to let you all know that I'm still alive and running.
My time has been diverted a fair bit from D2 these past few months. Been playing a bit of console lately and titan quest. Though most of my time has been in front of my newly revamped home theatre with new 42 inch LED panasonic screen and blu ray player plus I bought a new bike which I've been enjoying riding/running in.
I'm getting the D2 itch back so expect some more xp from the old pally dude over the xmas holidays!

Removed Ilmarinen, added his successor HolierThanThou, currently at lvl95.

1.13C HC did a bit more runs today, probably will do more on Friday, my first day of vacation, progressing towards 96, but still a long stretch to go.

Update because I reached a nice round number now at 2.600M 117M to go for level 96.

Some solid Baal running over the Holidays helped by a few rainy days (mid summer here). Works pretty well when you take a bit of a break because when you come back, laying down some serious baal running times isn't a drag as much as it can be...
Looking to lay down more runs over the next month, hope to hit 3.420 leaving a mere 100 to go Well over the half way mark now!

Adding my Nihlathak running Barb. Can't blame me for not trying, with a third character running Baal.
Interesting tidbit: With my current average time (32sec) it's going to take as long between 90-99 as it would take a character running Baal at ~240 seconds and if I hadn't killed the ancients, ~230seconds. If you wanted to be faster from 98 to 99 running Baal, your runs would have to be ~120sec. I thought that because of the slow leveling on the early levels Nil would be a much worse choice for going the whole 90-99...

1.13C HC
Made it to lvl 96, the sorc is still going strong, not much interesting drops, a arachnid mesh, an ist, a mal and an ethereal (also a grailer for me):
Heaven's Light
Mighty Scepter
One-Hand Damage: 222 to 289
Durability: 26 of 26
Required Dexterity: 55
Required Strength: 115
Required Level: 61

+271% Enhanced Damage

-33% Target Defense
150% Damage to Undead
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
+18 Life after each Demon Kill
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (1: 0 used)
Now to slowly proceed to lvl 97

Now that I've finally put the dark depths of the Caves of 97 behind me, I'm facing the final journey....
The soul-numbing crawl across the endless Desert of Loneliness that is the 98.

Just thought I'd remove myself. Morzholin made it to 96 and found some nice items along the way, but my SP D2 days have just about come to an end.
Congrats to those that made it and good luck to those that are still running!

Hadn't updated in a long time, and have been playing lately, so I thought I would update my Hammerdin.

Well let's see how badly I can mess this up.

Very well done Thyiad. Are you still running with infinity polearm in hands with low(ish?) hp? If so, did you keep the death count low enough to be sustainable during 98? :badteeth:
'grats

Thyiad[/span]"]
Oh yes, she's still carrying the Infin. I won't change that or respec her.
The screenie above showed her without BO etc; [a href="[URL]http://www.chrisclarke.co.uk/gallery/v/D2+Misc/Screenshot032.jpg.html?g2_navId=x6c48afab[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]this screenie is after BC, BO, armour etc[/a]. Even holding the Infinity the life isn't that low.
I don't think I've died since 95/96 (I know I did once in a MP game). Solo she is fine when I tp down on p3, waves on p8 and baal p3, but for some reason I do find it goes to hell in a handbasket if I MP with her. So I won't anymore. It isn't worth the risk.
I know 98-99 is a long way but I will get there. Eventually. Dying isn't really the problem. It's me being a really lazy runner.

Before this restart, my highest level character was 87. Smashington is peaking into 91... we'll see how far this can go I'd like to at least break into the top 100

Time for an update.

Sadly only a minor update. I just passed the 3.260 barrier for the 3rd and hopefully final time. It's just sad thinking on where i would've been now without the multiple deaths. Oh well, i guess i should keep going if i ever want to get there.

Some nice progress for me, thanks to the MFO...

Last billion passed.

Nice progress guys. Unfortunately, a little cleanup of my own is required.

Nice progress guys. Unfortunately, a little cleanup of my own is required.

If you removed every character just because it's been stagnant for several years, where would the table go?
So, are you officially giving up on Ragnarod? I always thought you were the only one who could possibly join DC in the tripple-99 club.
Also, I'm finally adding Azalea in the table. I know I should have done it back in December, sorry for that. But since I've recently [a href="[URL]http://brood.tlap.cz/images/phd.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]defended[/a] my thesis, I think this might be a good occasion. Hopefully, it will motivate some runners to close up top20.

The picture was done by the colleagues from our department, I honestly didn't expect something like that.

Congrats on the PHD. My master's is what's been keeping me from playing for the past six months.
The simple fact is I used macro's which are clearly (now) against forum rules so Anything I had that touched anything that used those is gone, including my pally.
I've still got one more 99 I would like to do, and one other unrelated goal so its not over, but it will take me a while to gather the gear to get going again. Then again with the silliness of 1.13, that may only take a week.

How do you guys work with this table? I want to add my name to the list but don't want to manually edit the numbers in front, been playing with it for half an hour now and don't see a solution...

I change them manually. It will take longer the first time but will go fast when you already have a character on the list. Anyway, it will maybe take a couple of minutes to change them by hand since there's so little of them.

It's update time. Passed Ipsilantee, so i'm moving up a spot. 3.300 is getting really close now. Also got to keep the heat on LD. Let's see if he burns when i turn up the heat .

Also got to keep the heat on LD. Let's see if he burns when i turn up the heat .

You are going to need a little bigger fire than that... Maybe like [a href="[URL]http://img.mtv3.fi/mn_kuvat/mtv3/uutiset/yleiskuvia/muuta_sekalaista/415494.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]this[/a]?
The last 200 megs to go. That's not much, right? Right?!

Oh, the race is on! Keep up the good work LD and cyrax.

Trying to get away, are we? You know i can't allow that to happen :nono:.
Wanted to update yesterday, but i thought i'd wait until i could overtake Solar as well.

Please, lead the way... That's where I'm headed anyway. Tell you what, why don't you bring your brothers to the party too. I imagine it will be something like this:

...and don't we all know how that ended.

Ok, slowly moving along. Have reached lvl 89 now with DeadLarry, only 10 to go. Should be quick, right? ... Or not. It feels like I am way too slow for this kind of target but we'll see.
At the moment I run on p3 and on every run I do the Pits, AT and Baal if I am not too tired.

I've seen my opportunity to come. A fifth of my run times consists of forum browsing and coffee drinking which is, according to my precise calculations, just enough to avoid burning out and getting fatal injuries It is also enough to cause a serious caffeine addiction, but we all have to prioritize things.
I'm running with a skelemancer at ~5 minute run times. Crawling towards level 95, some of you might say 'blazing' but I'm just a nab.

Watch you backs.

Time to add her. Still about 3 mos from completion...

Watch you backs.

Thanks for the warning.

Time to add her. Still about 3 mos from completion...

Firstly: Holy cow, now that's making an entrance!
Secondly: Too lazy to correct the numbers, are we?
Anyways, with this update i've at least passed LD once. Though i doubt it'll take long for him to take his spot back. And thanks Bassano for hosting the area 85 tournament to keep LD occupied .

Keep on running people!

Damn, if I don't run as much as I mean to, neither should anyone else, you hear?!
Cyrax is beating me with one hand (apparently), and Kimppi is literally teleporting closer. :nervous:
And a to ESD for doing that. We should have a rule that you may only enter chars below lvl 97 or something...

Decided to add my little WW Barb. Kinda sad to see how few barbarians are on the list, but i guess that's partly because of how hard it's to collect the gear to make him worthwhile for running.
Anyway my Barb is the usual Atma haxxed Grief and Beast abuser also using Enigma, Highlord's, Guillame's face, LoH, SoE, Raven Frost, dual leech ring with AR and resists, War Travelers and with some charms giving max damage(07 abused), AR, resistances and life.
I've managed to cut down my run times to 2:49 fastest and 3:10 average if im pushing it which is the main reason i prefer him to runnign with sorceress or zon.
Before the new patch came out with respec i was building him for PvP which meant almost all stat points to vitality and 4,5k health and pretty much invincibility. When the patch came out i went for around 2,2k health and rest to strenght which really worked nicely for the run times cutting them down by 15 seconds or even more averagely, but adding some problems when Lister decided to spawn Extra strong, Fana or cursed or i was careless enough to WW through Dolls while being under decrep/amp. Even huge damage and leech isn't cutting it out sometimes hence a few deaths but i was really happy with the time gain.

Very cool Naab. If you get tired of baal & his minions you could experiment with a respec and p1/p7 CS now that you're 98

Very nice Naab. And with a good average time. Btw is grief/beast preferred to grief/grief? Because i was under the impression that the latter was preferred (at least for Travi, but maybe Baal is different).

@Corr I don't like the lack of drops on p1 CS and IIRC p7 was quite hard for the barb last time i tried since there's some really hard hitting bosses sometimes.
@Cyrax Yes Grief/Grief could be slightly better, but i've not really bothered making one since i like the CB on beast which helps alot with Baal and helps merc hit faster fpa easier also i like the AR bonus as well.

Wow Naab, you are most certainly not normal. Video plz. I tried Baal running with pretty much identical gear like you have, but no way in hell I can do anything under 4.5 minutes. What do you use on switch? Dual Hotots? Perhaps it it time to revisit Baal? I would really like to have lvl 95 barb, but now that I see 98 I feel kinda stupid :/

He is using Demon limb/HotO. I hit 11,8k AR with echant which is useful for baal but for minions you don't need that high. I also made a quick vid of a [a href="[MEDIA=youtube]vIJuwlTwOco[/MEDIA]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]run[/a].

OMG on that video. you have great skills.

Vid is looking good. However i do have a question. How do you deal with manaburn? I didn't see any manapots in your belt. For my travrunning barb i have specially dedicated the first row to manapots so i can quickly gulp one down and continue to whirl.

Yes Manaburn is very annoying espescially when you're not used to it yet. If you stop a whirl in middle of the lister gang and they are not decrepfied you're pretty much dead. That's why i do only long whirls against MB Lister and try to whirl when they are already decrepfied.

It's been a month since the previous update so it seemed like a good idea to do another one. Partly because i made some nice progress and partly because i'd like to know what the others have been up to.
Gained a nice even 50M (coincedence). This mean i move up a few spots (for the time being) and i'm just a few runs short of overtaking Asmo.
Oh btw, i have some more questions for Naab since i've been thinking about taking my own barb to somewhat higher lvls. Most likely not to 99, but you never know.
The first would be if the higher lvl really makes a difference in how often you get hit. I know that on paper it should make a difference, but is it really noticeable? I'm asking this because i'm curious if you get less manaburned and also get into less near death situations (or totally dead situations).
The second is the merc. From the vid it seems to be a might merc, which would also be my choice. But what is he wearing? I thought i saw decrep triggering once or twice so i'm guessing reapers toll. But what of his other gear? And how useful is reaper's? I hardly saw it going off so maybe some other weapon can be more useful? I'm thinking maybe infinity (lower defense = easier hitting), doom (slower monsters = safer) or even hone sundan (lots of CB = faster killing Baal). Maybe i've missed some options, but those are some that quickly came to mind.
And the last: does the guillaume's really help that much? I know it has CB, but arreat's just has so many nice stats. Does it really beat that?

Yes higher level does help somewhat, but i think it will only help with you being more practiced against a mana burn enemy, since Listers attack ignores defense anyway.
He is wearing Kira's(with shael), Treachery and Eth Reapers(Shael). The gear is needed to trigger Decrepfy as often as possible since it gives a huge boost to damage and also CB.(it's triggering many more times then 2 times btw in the vid ) Im sure there's no better alternitive offensly and decrep also slows down monsters and you'll leech much better so it's great defensively as well.
Keep in mind though you'll need to ias jewel the Kira's to hit the 75% IAS BP if you're gonna use dual Griefs. Alternatevely you could also use a Cham'd Andy's Visage if you're rich.
Im already hitting almost 12k AR with my setup so the conviction from Infinity's not gonna give me much better chance to hit and it's not gonna ever beat the -50% phys resistance from Reaper's. Doom might be awesome defensively, but my moto is usually that best defense is offense. And Hone sundan on merc wont beat the combo of my 50%ish CB(barb hits more often then merc anyway) coupled with decrep which boosts CB.
I use guillames mainly for baal killing and it also has some DS and also i've inserted quite nice jewel in it with 24% LR, 26%ED and 8 Str. IIRC i did test runs with both helms and with guillames it was faster, but you could always test this out yourself.

Been a while since I have been here. haven't been updating my progress as I thought I was the only active in this thread.
Guess things have changed in the past 6 months or so. :whistling:
So an update on my progress. The race is on to see if old asmo gets to level 99 before blizzard release D3! :cloud9:

@Cyrax I tried using Doom eBA instead of grief now for fun and found out for my surprise that it doesn't reduce killing speed that much at all and it adds loads of survivability. Lister's gang is doing like 1 smite every 5 seconds Still i think reaper's still gonna beat using Doom on mercenary just cause of the big -phys res.(which now on lister triggers much often when he isn't getting pummeled around anymore). Keep in mind though to use the Doom on offhand(you can check from LCS, the lower damage number should be above the bigger one)

Sigh, doesn't look good on my part. Need to focus more. On the bright side, Asmo wasn't going as fast as we feared...

Good to know. I'll keep that in mind for when i give the barb a whirl.

Adding myself, gonna try to reach 99 before the year ends atleast. Running a classic zealer with grief/Hoz/youknowthestory. Only upgrade I want atm is a Fortitude. Wish me luck!

Slow going, have been lazy the last couple of months.

[a href="[URL]https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/furyphys.jpg/[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]Done[/a]. Write-up forthcoming...

Welcome to the club
And don't hurry with the writeup, I personally found out I needed a short break to organize my thoughts when it was suddenly over..
Good job on closing up top 20, we needed that third zon, for sake of stats, see Also, this is seriously starting to get lame. Hello!! ..any bowzons out there?!

Thank you. It has been a long road.
In addition to a standard write-up, I will add a MF results section. I kept track of all S/U, rune, Baal charm drops over my 6,400+ runs. Should be interesting to contrast WSK2-4 with minions and Baal.
Drops were tabulated by pencil/paper and I am now databasing them. Only on run 2239 (October 28th) so it'll be a week or two to finish.
I probably should have a contest: guess how many green breastplates, or better yet, how many complete Isenhart sets?

Well done EatSleepDiablo. I guess you really do live up to your name!
Now pardon me, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and when you see the light at the end of the tunnel you usually run as fast as you can towards it......

Congratulations on 99 EatSleepDiablo, it's a long road to get there!
Also, keep pushing Asmo, you are very close now - it will be nice to finally see your stubbornness to use that slow Schaefer's pally pay off!

Well one zon finishes 99 so I have to add another one. Easy part is done here, so only final level remains... I'm curious, how do you guys *fight* with fact that you can't get even pixel of white in your XP bar?

I'm curious, how do you guys *fight* with fact that you can't get even pixel of white in your XP bar?

Laying a few hundred runs between you and the beginning of the level should do the trick
But seriously, this is the most difficult part. Once you see some white in there, you will know that it is doable (in finite time). Get 50+% through and you will finish just due to the inertia..
Big events like the MFO or Baalathons were always a great way to draw your mind away from the exp-bar, which is so important in the beginning. When it finished, you could just tell yourself "only 4-6 more to go", or such. In reality, two or three did the trick for you as you spent the periods between them patiently adding 5-40 runs per day. The actual number is not as important as the fact you set up a system and stick to it.

Wait till you get to the end. That last pixel takes 50 runs to fill. I had to stop and do the math a couple times just to confirm.
For me, I couldnt do it if not for the drops. Leveling, as slow as it goes (83,000+- per run), was a bi-product of MFing. Even at the end, I stuck to my 5 min. runs to hit the 8-10 boss packs on the way to the throne.
With Asmo and others in close pursuit, I thought about focusing on Baal and his minions, but again, it was more than just 99 to me...

Very nicely done ESD and big congrats. I'm very curios about your forthcoming write-up.

A close friend of mine has been edging towards 99 for the past couple months, he has a Javazon in which he teleports to EXP shrines through one of the Act 1 waypoints and gets unreal EXP for 98 off Baal. It's a nice trick to do.

No, its not.
Baal curses you almost instantly, its nearly impossible to do.

I'll ask him to make a youtube, he gets Baal down to almost no health, then gets a shrine and it's a couple Charged Strikes from killing him. I'll have to ask him next time he's on. Believe me it works.

Hmm, I would be very curious about run times and how much exp he gains off of it. It seems like I've seen this discussion before but I didn't have enigma when I was running baal so I've never tried it.

There is something to this, actually. This trick is already used for Diablo runs in the CS as he won't curse you and you can look for a shrine during the time it takes Diablo to spawn. We've always ruled out doing it on Baal as he curses you very quickly though... but assuming it works most of the time, the gains can be fairly significant.
A 50% increase in the exp from killing Baal gives you around a 25-30% increase in exp overall for that run. I'd be interested to know on what percentage of runs your friend successfully gets an exp shrine without it taking too long, and on what percentage of runs the trick is actually successful.
If those percentages are high (say both >80 or >90 percent) and it doesn't take long to find a shrine, the trick can significantly boost your exp/time (maybe by up to 15-20%). It would be worth doing on slower-running characters (4:00-5:00) - I suspect it wouldn't be worth it on characters who run Baal quickly (<3:00).

Time it takes to search for exp shrines surely must be > time to do another baal-run with infi-javazon build. And he does curse you instantly, so small chance for success drops it even further.

Well I have talked to him on AOL messenger for the past hour or so. He says he doesn't always do it but it depends what mood he's in. He says he doesn't disagree that its most likely a waste of time but he enjoys seeing his EXP jump off a successful EXP kill of Baal.
lol

My typical experience at 98:
WSK2-4 1 2 3 4 5 Baal Total
4526 2068 6918 6168 9009 6768 48654 84111
Not sure how fourth spawn exceeds Lister, but this was result of my sample near the end.
Re: experience shrines
They spawn rarely (maybe 1.5 in 10) and would give additional 24,000+- exp points for the time it took took TP back to town, tele to them, and tele back to town?
Methinks the returns would be slim...

We discussed this with Cyrax last autumn and I actually did the last portion of The Level with exp-shrines. You can find my observations in Azalea's lvl99 thread (second post, section dealing with maps).
With some practice, it is easy to leave Baal one CS from death before you TP out, which makes the technique fairly reliable. Of course, you need a good map to make it worthwhile. Rolling one can be quite a pain, plus many would not "betray" their trusty map they already got used to.
Two things to consider:
1) while exp shrines can improve your exp/time ratio, they always decrease your kill/time ratio, and thus your magic or rune finding odds.
2) however, shrines also decrease the overall threat, as checking for them is a low-risk business. This essentially gives you a short break each run.

Hmmm.
Typical. I don't read about exp shrining baal untill I'm 20 odd million xp away from 99.
I have an advantage atm. Its the middle of winter here and its bucketing down. Nothing else to do but play games!
I have been working on 11 runs per million or 90,000 each. A little bit higher than eatsleepdiablo's numbers, but as a runner compared to telewalking, I'm cleaning the entrance way prior to the throne room as you usually encounter a boss pack there so thats why Im getting more xp per run. I need that area clear as I run back to draw waves 4 & 5 out of baals decrep range.
I think I remember 2-3 shrines near the countess tower on my map, I might experiement there with finding an xp shrine for the final baal kill. Quite easy to beat baal down to that last pixel with a melee build.

First of all: well done ESD :congrats:
@Frozzen: What worked for me is to not see lvl 99 as a goal just yet. When you just start from 98 to 99 that's just to far away. Instead create some smaller, easier to reach goals. For me that became every 5 or 10M mark. Seems small, but at that lvl you'll need enough runs to make that feel like somewhat of an accomplishment.
What also helps if you have something to look for (MF, grail, perfect grail, etc). Grailwise i still got nothing, which is not surprising since i only miss a few items. But in that respect the perfect grail really helped me. I don't find many items to make in improvement there, but every now and then i do. That makes my day even if i only do a few runs and don't get much in terms of experience.
Lastly i'll echo Ugla's statement. Try to do a set number of runs each day. Doesn't have to be much, but if you can keep at it, you'll get there. The goal i set for myself is to do 15 runs for 6 days a week (i know for 1 day a week i don't have the time so i skipped that). I don't make it to do that every day, but there's also times (mostly weekends) where i can do a few more so that makes up for it. The reason i choose 15 is because that way at least i get 1M a day which feels like progress (unlike Asmo for me 1M is somewhere between 12 and 13 runs)
As for the exp shrine discussion:
I think it is possible to make it work. Though to a lesser degree then in Diablo runs.
For Diablo you have the advantage that the stretch from the wp to big D is always the same. This means you can get a good map for shrines. The odds for both a good map for shrines and for getting to Baal are much smaller. Another thing is the already mentioned cursing from Baal. With some practice you'll be fine most of the times, but every now and then you will loose an exp-shrine.
So for me, i just cut them from my runs. It didn't fit my playingstyle and i also felt i was wasting time when looking for shrines and not finding one that run, or when i did get one but Baal cursed me. I rather do runs in that time.

Congrats to ESD for finishing the long journey!!
Now let's see who gets to be the blackjack...
For me it's down to the last 100 million.
About the exp shrines... Only pussies use bonus exp.

A shame i had a 3 1/2 week break from D2 or it could've been a close race with Asmo. I guess beating LD will have to do. Oh yeah, making it to 99 would be pretty nice too :whistling:.

What's that getting farther away in the rear-view mirror? Oh yeah, me. :ashamed:

Thanks all. You four are the ones that pushed me to completion, so thank you again.
Up until the final push, I did 16 runs per day--about 1.5 hours worth. I was doubling that 4 days per week or so for the last month. I am still getting up at 5:30am for morning runs that are no longer needed. Another 99er perhaps?
I finished the last 50 in one sitting. Probably the fastest runs of them all.
When I first started, I was actually doing full clears on WSK2-3, but 10 minute runs got old quick--not to mention deaths/NDEs from overlapping auras or crazy spawns (multishot witch with might or conviction, anyone?).
Good luck for the final push Asmo, Cyrax, LD50, and Kimppi. You'll find it very satisfying at the finish, but then you'll have to deal with a DII void. AT is not doing it for me (I tele into boss packs intentionally just to add excitement to a run) so I am looking for another char to mix it up. WWsin?

Up until the final push, I did 16 runs per day--about 1.5 hours worth. I was doubling that 4 days per week or so for the last month. I am still getting up at 5:30am for morning runs that are no longer needed. Another 99er perhaps?

Ditto. It's amazing how motorvated you get when you see the finish line. Breakfast before work, clicking and chewing on my toast, come home, boot up for 45 minutes before dinner, then powering away from 7 to 11.pm at night time.
And wednesdays, are my days off. 7 o clock in the morning untill late. I doubt I'll get the final 17 odd million in a single day, but you can bet your last SoJ a major chunk of xp will be happening tomorrow!
Oh, and as an extra little bit of motorvation, the finds have actually been worth picking up, a D fathom and a 157% HoZ both in the past week though the runes have dropped off lately.

The perks of running. My WSK HoZs:

Congrats on making it to 99, ESD! :balloons:
I'm amazed at the stamina needed for a 99.
I've got a couple of 97 chars and one 98, but taking that last step just seems much too time consuming for me.

Done.
After a marathon yesterday, wednesday being a day off work for me. Too tired to post up yesterday after the event.
Big write up with pics and stuff coming up!

Congrats ESD and Asmo. Awesome chars too.

Well done!!!
I'm stoked for both of those write-ups!

Wow. Big congratulations to ESD and especially Asmo for the Schaeferdin. Looking forward to the write ups.

Excellent work Asmo. Enjoy your well earned rest.
I hope to join the ranks in about 1 1/2 to 2 months. If LD can keep up a bit it's raining 99's this year.

Congrats to Asmo and ESD!
I'm entering my little Barb yy. He was leveled to 94 at the Council, then to 95 at Pindle and finally baaled to 97. Nihlathak will provide the last two levels (hopefully). Only ~22k runs to go.
Hopefully I didn't mess up the tables. I took the liberty to add a link to Asmo's 99 write-up.

Done! :jig: Write-up will have to wait until the weekend. I'm gonna relax a bit now .

WTH!
It's raining 99's right now.
Congratulations Cyrax, truly amazing :balloons:
:guiness:

Congrats on finishing the task, Cyrax
We just need to wait for LD50 and I think we are done for this summer.. Still no write-up from ESD, btw?

Congrats Cyrax. LD50 and Kimmpi to round out the summer of 99ers?

Still no write-up from ESD, btw?

Yes I know. Databasing drops is going slow. Only thing worse than having the G Broad Sword, GBP, G Military Pick, etc. drop for the 1,000 time in game, is to log it in 6 mos. later...

Congrats on the recent 99ers.
Is there a lower limit to adding characters onto the runners list?
I ask as I'm still slowly working my way thru Hell with my Freezealot and am up to level 78 so far having only gotten as far as killing Radament. Was easier to kill him than I expected as he only breathed poison on me and my merc kept distracting him thankfully.
Still hoping to find some better armor to replace my upped Silks of the Victor lol Will get something eventually.
Even more off topic (sorry) I seem to have a knack for getting the same set items repeatedly I'm sure I'm into double figures for Cathans bloody seal now and at least 6 Cleglaws Teeth.

This gets asked from time to time. There is no rule but its generally suggested to wait until you reach the 90s. Realistically, more than 95% of the work comes after level 95, signing up much earlier is just silly.

Thanks
Hopefully be in a position to add onto the runners list later this year then. Probably look to add once I reach level 90 or so and then slowly climb up the list.

Just posting to let everyone see just how far back Cyrax actually left me in the end... Also, linking to his 99 thread.

I guess I have to get this done this year then...hmm. Grats to all the new heroes too.

I took my Fishymancer a level higher and his merc got +1 to aura level Managed to get my run times under 4 minutes, fast enough to kill Baal before BO wears out.

Getting close, but I just have to make this update since it's so nice, even number. It's also going to be the last update. I'd hope to get there in a week or two.

[a href="[URL]https://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc157/LD_90/Diablo/Characters/Helina/99.jpg[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]Finished...[/a]

Congrats!!! Great achievement, I look forward to your write up

Where to put those final 5 stat points.....

Pants...erm hat down to you sir. Gratz on 99er and hurry up with that writeup

"Last call for the Top25 race...last call for the Top25 race!"
Seriously, congrats LD50...and to all the others, who accomplished to reach level 99 so far! Seems like I have to hurry! Hmmm...there's still a Barb missing...maybe...*sneaks away loading up D2*

Congrats on your 99er, LD50
After a streak of other builds, the lightning sorcs are back on the throne. With no immediate pursuit, you can sit there for a while, unless some really BM person emerges out of nowhere, putting him-/herself right into the heroes table :lipsrsealed:

Has there really never been any HC level 99ers? this is a bit surprising to me if so! The highest I see in HC is Grisu.

Aren't DarkChaos three 99ers HC?

Yes Victus, yes they are.

Ah, I see that now, it would be nice if it was denoted on the list, but whatever

Well, looks like it's been a month again so time for a little update. Still planning on getting this done before year's end.

Added my lvl 96 hammerdin to the table as i think he's the next char i'm gonna try taking all the way. 97 isn't too far away, but i know the real deal hasn't even started yet.
Btw ESD still no 99 thread. Are you trying to write a bestseller or something?

Kitteh[/span]"]

From 95 to 96. Getting a perfect Magic Absorb Spirit helped with survival as normal Gloam packs don't deal damage anymore. Keeping count with paper and pen like LD50 helps, too.

Kitteh[/span]"]

Yay, 50% done...I haven't really had much interest to run CS lately, no way I can finish this year like I had hoped.

@Kimppi: What u STILL not there?!
Might as well update while i'm at it. Hardly moving up any spots, but i did gain another lvl. Just 2 more to go.
Don't know if it's because i'm used to the slow exp gain at lvl98 or if it's because i'm running Diablo instead of Baal now, but somehow i feel like i'm gaining exp faster than i did with my lightning sorc. Maybe that'll change when i gain another lvl. I'll just have to wait and see.
Also got some questions about the whole experience-shrine-searching thing. At the moment i'm not doing that. I just go past 1 that's at the entrance of the CS. If that's an exp shrine i go back for it, but i'm not searching for it in other acts like some other people do.
Somehow i feel like i'm losing more time searching for shrines then i gain by finding one and using it. So i'd like to know how it's done in a way that makes it pay off.
I tried searching for shrines in actI, but not in other acts as it means more clicking (tab to other act, and another click for the desired wp). So do you search in more than 1 act?
Also how many shrines should i have within teleporting distance to make it efficient enough? I think my current map only has 1 shrine near a wp. I don't think that's enough, but what would it take..3, 4, 5 shrines?
As the experience still seems to rise pretty nicely i think i may not need this just yet, but when i would reach 98 using (and mastering) this technique may come in handy.

I've never been interested about Shrine-hunting either. Currently I have 4 shrines on the way to Diablo, two on the "tiles" and two in CS. Works good enough for me. Run times are ~1:25 max even if the farthest one spawns Exp.
Trying to get a map with many shrines shouldn't even be that annoying since CS map is always the same.

Wow, only 50 million to run. Trying to get this done before D3.

May as well add myself to the list, since I am aiming to get my Bowazon to 99. Currently level 91 and running CS.

There aren't enough stars in the world to tell how annoyed I am right now. I had a nice recoding going and the software decided to corrupt the whole thing. I'm hoping I can still somehow salvage it. In the meantime, congrats to everyone on moving up in the world.

Ouch! That is throw-the-TV-and-the-PC-out-the-window frustrating. Hope you can recover the file somehow.

Oh man that sucks! Hopefully you'll be able to salvage all that you've lost.
Judging by the table of heroes it's not as bad as it could've been, as i see you've put your runner in the finished section. So great job on that :congrats:.

Wow, that's gotta suck.. But grats on getting there anyway

Grats again, Kimppi!
Since I'm here:

Congrats on your achievement
If you can't fix the broken files, never mind. The main thing is you are there!

Thanks. It's not completely lost, I can get almost the whole second half of the recording.
Edit:

Not much progress with all those sideprojects, like MFL and MFO. Still, an update as Possessed completed his first 2.000 CS runs.
Edit:

Somewhere about 50% done. Other 50% seems impossible. Seriously, everyone in this thread is nuts... :crazyeyes:

Yep. 10 chars

Take care frozzzen, I might catch up. Just give me a decade or two...

Somewhere about 50% done. Other 50% seems impossible. Seriously, everyone in this thread is nuts... :crazyeyes:

I think most will admit that they are :crazy:. It's a way of life! Embrace the nuttiness inside! No nuts no glory!
A bit more on topic: With the MFL nearing it's end i should have more time for lvling. Waiting with an update until i get to 98 which should be around the end of the month (if i don't die yet again, that is).
Also good to see some people in the top still moving. So keep going frozzzen and scrcrw . Just not to fast, i want to catch up :badteeth:.

Added another 100M into XP bar. Let's finish this before D3 comes out, won't we? In meantime, can someone point me to good program to record my last couple runs and lvl 99 ding?

A lot of people lately have used bandicam for the gamplay videos thread, and it seems very nice compared to others such as fraps.

6 months since last update, slow progress. I second the bandicam recommendation. Didn't slow down my ancient PC critically.

Ding. That last Nova from facet was really memorable

Mat thread soonish - once I sort out everything and anything.

About time you lazy person. :balloons:

Grats! Makes me feel really, really slow to see you score 100M and ~50M in so short timespan. 1UP for me in the list without doing anything, anyway :badteeth:

*takes the last shred of sanity from frozzzen* :balloons:
Grats on the 99'er! Look forward to the report!

Congratulations, sir! Well done.

congratz frozzzen you are a stud looking forward to reading about Mio

Wow, congratz! You made the best of the mfo, eh?
I look forward to the write-up.

Congrats, excellent last minute resolve to finish!

Congratulations frozzzen! - Great to see you make it.
You must've seriously played as if it was your job the past 2 weeks.
GG

So we are up to 25 now hey?
Well done Frozzzen! Enjoy your well earned sleep, treatment for Repetitive strain injury, Psycho therapy and withdrawal!
:crazyeyes:

Comeon froz-man! Give us that 99 thread already, I'm anxious to see your gear

Hey, I remember you from ~2006 or so!
/OT
As for Michelle, my 1.11-1.12 Infinity Light Sorc, I am considering firing her up again, there is not soooooo far to go!

Congratulations, Hero! Count me among those amazed by your speed there at the end...can't wait for the writeup, is that an Aegis on her arm?
WoRG

Tnx guys
I'll do 99 thread in couple days. It's buys in school and I want to do it properly; both in school and on forums.
And yes, WoRG, it is [a href="[URL]https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/683/screenshot248t.jpg/[/URL]" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow noopener"]Aegis[/a] <---- also teaser for nubikoen

Congrats! Looking forward to the tread!
I'm very dissapointed you didn't tape that nova and made it into a .gif

pharphis[/span]"]
^Agree. I really hope the next 99 does something like that. Levelling to 99 should have an obligatory .gif, from now on.

Inspired by Frozzzen, the return of Asmo, and the fact that I finally broke 3.2 billion XP, I'm officially adding my guy to the list. MinDamage Avenger with a few twists, and some truly unique gear. I've spent a fortune and a LOT of effort on this guy, and am committed to the goal...

So, it's JAoDs these days, huh :scratchchin: Taking a look at the forums after a few weeks, I see the lvl99 thread bumped, and for a pretty good reason, it seems. Huge congrats on finishing the job, frozzzean Another zon in the mix. I am eagerly awaiting the write-up.

Possessed has finished his second 2K diablo runs so it's time for another update.
If my math isn't too far off i'm over halfway in number of runs. Got the ancients still saved up, so that shaves off another 40M. That would leave 213M to go. I need about 13,3 runs for 1M so that's ~2840 runs left to go. If i stay alive that is.

Teron made it to 97 and because I knew I would dock him for some time at least, I wanted to do a haul pic of my most extensive MF spree (well it was for leveling too). For some reason it went worse than expected and I had already began to stash them to correct stashes. Laziness struck and I just decided to take lots of screen captures and make a gif out of them instead (idea stolen from inter).

It may be a little heavy to load, 12MB file.

Got two Bowazons in pursuit of level 99. One is highly unlikely to ever reach it. The other (Ursula) is a serious assault, after respeccing to the CS-friendly Mutlishot and engaging in some MP shennanigans.

Adding lvl 99 thread and GL to Jason
Cya in MP games.
Still thinking about second char, but I have lots of theorycrafting and stuff before I put anything on table again

So you're gonna give it another go? Excellent.
Shame on you though for still having to think up a build. With the time it takes to get to 99 you should've had plenty time to think it over. Then again, with the speed you had at the end, it ended in a flash. Any thoughts on what's it gonna be or are you still totally in the dark?
And didn't really plan on updating yet, but as i'm posting i might just as well. Looking at the xp bar i'd say i've done about 40-45%. Also still got the ancients saved up, so that'll give me a nice boost too.
