The SPF Elite Runners
The SPF Elite Runners
This is the place, where elite runners among SPF players belong.
Anyone has a personal project that involves rerunning some monster/area for items? Good, add yourself to the table.
Post your progress, brag about the items you have found, rant about the items you have not found yet, discuss the strategies, this thread should be all about that.
Some rules:
1) Don't start a new project unless you realize how hard/time consuming it will be. If you start your project here, try to complete it.
2) Don't include projects like runs for Experience (that's what "Quest for lvl 99" thread is) or for different items (like the Grail thread) or Septavirate - like projects.
3) You have to specify what kind of run you want to do and what is your primary item you hunt for. Completing your project means either completing the specified number of runs or finding the item.
4) You can do your runs while participating in another tourney (like MFO or Pindlethon) or a project on another forum.
5) You can't use any dupes, hacks or cheats like maphack/dropmod. Only mods acceptable are those accepted here on SPF - RRM and RWM mods.
6) Anything under 1K is not elite. The minimal number of runs has to be 1000 runs. That leaves Hellforge runs out. Hellforge running is a questionable tactic anyway.
7) When starting your project, please give us a short intro of project, what character you will be using, what is your average time and strategy.
8) You have to count the runs and report about your progress from time to time (update Progress table). Counting can be done by pencil and paper or we have some runcounter programs made by SPF members:
jjscud's savecounter - works great for Pindle runs
Kefir-Tribe's runcounter - some statistics included, but you have to click manually after each run.
I would rather not use counting by experience gain, it can be unreliable sometimes.
My own project is "25K Ancient Tunnels" runs, I hope to get the Tyrael's Might and complete the grail then. Character is a lvl95 Blizzsorc Hecathe, the participant of many MF tourneys. She has around 480 MF at this time. I kill only bosspacks on my way to sparkly chest (guarding by at least 1 bosspack allways). I don't kill regular monsters, they can't drop Tyrael's Might anyway. P1 mostly, the average time is around 70 seconds, average number of bosspacks killed is 5. I had an idea of starting the project like this for some time, so when I have started my MFO runs 2 weeks ago, I counted them. Because of that I am starting at 2480 runs. I will also pick up all elite sets and uniques (aka MFO qualifiers), so I can provide some interesting statistics about drops later. I am 1.11b vanilla selffound BTW.

. This will be done in reasonable time for sure for the fact that it IS 10k hell meph runs which will only take anywhere from a little over half a minute to a full minute but close. Her merc is a barbarian merc which can handle some punch and usually stays alive most of the time unless meph hits him with some nice combos. Use wiz spike/lidless on main for casting teleport and static then I have dual ist ali baba with rhyme to put him down. Every update will be 125 runs, nice thought Hrus with the idea and thread!
