The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, Revenge of the 99ers

Reached 95, though not much as far as drops go - An Andariel helm for the merc and a pair of Gul runes (1 and 2) from the Vizier seal. I can't do P8 CS runs fast enough to make it worthwhile to save Ancients for 98. Near 3 minutes on average. I theorycrafted the exp. numbers using 4 minute Baal runs and found 95-98 via Baal saving more time than trying to save Ancients for 98. Even more worth it if I can end up with 3.5 minute Baal.

A little awkward to be posting questing pics at this stage, but P8 Ancients for a little challenge?

I think I'll stick with Treachery on the merc for now as it feels more suitable with all the decrepify in the throne room, and also to apply CB to Baal quickly.

Pushed through NM fairly quickly on /p1 to get to NM Pindleskin and Eldritch. Currently just made it to Act V after playing Ring Around the Rosie with Diablo till he got pretty low in HP, then I blasted him with several Tornados real quick. Only real change since previous update was we found a Ethereal Superior Triangulated Mail to make Treachery for the mercenary. I think I only really saw him activate the Fade once this entire session. Guess I'm blasting everything to pieces with the Tornados too quickly for him to get hit all that often. :D
Got to love it when you get a much higher rune from a side Forge monster (Mal), than the Forge dropped (Hel).

@ThomasJohnsen Lol, now that you mention it ... I'll sort the charms out. On the left though, that's how I've always done it. We also read from left to right, no? :p

@NanoMist Congrats, very well done. Good luck on the Baal runs. I should time my CS runs. I'm getting faster at them, but still not fast enough, I think. So I'm thinking about trying Baal runs instead as well.

O yes, and just look at that table. Awesome, with the 7 highest ranked players exactly 1 level from each other. OldSoldier should get his Paladin to 90 :cool:.

@Southpaw8668 Very nice progress. And that Mal is very tasty for that level. Too bad about the very low Forge drop to compensate for it.
 
Ugh T72on1 such disarray with those charms - and to the left . Can't look!

Cool finds though....
But get those charms in order or crop the SS pls :D (just kidding ofc - to each his/her own)

#EDIT: And a greater healing pot where a super healing pot clearly belongs. Tingling with OCD itches here.

I feel you bro :(
 
@T72on1 - I don't remember if you completed Hell Ancients yet, but sorcs should be able to make P8 CS worthwhile to 98. My trapper could not do it - the trap auto-targeting made it difficult to be efficient with so many other monsters around. You'll lose Ancients by testing Baal runs, which is why I theorycrafted the exp. from Baal runs before I committed to Ancients. (Saving 30 hours via Baal runs to 98, but will have to confirm with actual running times.)

I also briefly tested P8 Nithlathak and P1/P7 CS in order to find how much time that 40 Mil Exp. would have saved at 98. I think it was 20 hours or so for both, maybe a little less with Nith. 30 > 20 so I went Baal runs for sub-98. These are just my own numbers, so it could be the opposite for someone else.
 
@NanoMist No, I didn't complete Ancients yet. And des, you are right about CS of course. At the time of my post, I was getting frustrated because I didn't seem to manage to become fast at CS runs. I kept on trying though, so it's already going much better now. And my conclusion: to level from 94 to 95, CS definitely is the way to go if you can handle it. Even at my mediocre pace, it went a lot faster than AT runs.

So I finally reached level 95. Once I reverted to CS full time, xp actually came quite fast. Unfortunately I managed to die in a stupid way, just 5 runs or so before hitting 95, so that cost me about an extra hour of CS runs :(. I didn't even try to catch my body, I wouldn't know how to do that in CS with a naked Sorc.

Nothing fancy dropped in CS. Best rune was a Mal, so that's actually not too bad, but next highest rune was Dol I think. Or maybe a Lum. No good uniques either. I did find those 3 fun little items:

I'm gonna go back to LK for a while now. A few skillers would increase my damage output a lot, so I'll be hunting for those. And good charms in general actually, as my current ones are pretty terrible. At 95, there's no use in running AT, unless maybe for items, so it's not a big loss to loose my map. And CS ... I don't think it was a great map, so that doesn't matter. Although ... I actually don't know what a good CS map is. I thought the layout was always about the same. So what makes a good CS map?

Edit: after 5 rerolls I got this map:

I think I'm going to keep it :).

I also switched from a Might merc to a Holy Freeze merc, to hopefully increase my safety.

@T72on1 - Nice job! CS definitely takes some getting used to, but as you mention once it starts rolling, the XP is great. I keep a body-retrieval kit in my stash at all times, which has come in handy. Mine includes HOTO, Vipermagi, and a 2-PDiamond Mosers. A death at higher levels is disheartening enough even if you get your body back, I like to at least give myself a reasonable shot at retrieving it.
 
Good job @T72on1! And belated congrats to @Southpaw8668 and @NanoMist on the good progress.

I was able to get back to playing some this week. First I wrapped up my 250 rune set from LK. As noted in my last post, I’d gotten a Sur in the first 100 before I stopped, but nothing much of note in the next 150. The highest rune was a Lem. I picked up a Fine SC of Sustenance and another Captains skiller with some minor poison damage. I also found plain Hexing, Sounding and Sparking skillers.

I then cubed gems and rerolled charms and crafted caster amulets, with not a lot to show. I still don’t have a decent amulet . . .

It was then on to WSK and Baal runs. I’ve done p1 for WSK, p8 for the first four waves, then p3 for Lister (I’ve recently gone up to p5 after some testing showing that it barely takes longer most of the time) and p1 for Baal. Based on the links that @NanoMist provided earlier, it’s probably faster for me, focused on experience gain, to end the run after the fourth wave. But I enjoyed completing the runs, so stuck with that approach.

Mercy just hit level 94. I had one death early on when I was testing maps. Found a Pul and Mal in WSK, and an eth Nightwing’s from Baal (bad roll).

Edit: Forgot about Boneshade from Baal also. That's another item that I've never found before. If I combine this character with my 7x7, I am at grail -12.

I have a pretty good WSK map now, with a teleport from WP to door down to level 3 and then the entry to the throne room right around the corner. I hate to give it up, but I think I need to return to LK to finish off Enigma. The runs are long due to *running* and I don’t think I’ll have the patience to keep grinding if I have to run each time.

@Pb_pal A body retrieval kit ... that sounds like a good plan. I'll have to do that as well. The difference in xp loss is big enough to at least try to retrieve the body indeed.

Did 50 LK runs yesterday, just to get things started. Ist and Gul within' the first 10 runs :). Not much after that, but still ...
 
Any incredibly nice items which have been thrown away yet? :p

Only things that really stung for me so far are an eth Skullders and a Reapers. I do have a few HRs (Ohms and a Lo mostly) sitting in the stash that I know I'll most likely never use, but can't bring myself to ditch them just yet.

Then again I'm keeping all my S/U finds in a separate stash to see what I end up with in the end, so it's not like I've actually vendored anything valuable. :p
 
Steadily progressing to the next level, currently sitting at 97 1/3. Baal runs are slow, ~4.00-4.30 mins per run, so nothing unbeatable for you guys, the golden equation for me is 1 hour = 4m exp. Manaburn Lister (p8) is the thing that slows me down the most, and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to beat him down without being leeched during ww... but apart from that the runs are pretty safe: 23%dr, 5.6k life and 26%ll do their job.
Even though I'm not quite there yet, I'm already planning what to do after leveling. Nihla seems a good option to run so I tried a few runs borrowing my merc's Vamp Gaze (+20%dr), but oh man, those vipers hit really hard and I had a couple of NDEs that put me away from him for good, I'll wait till the next level to experiment with him as I won't have much to lose right after turning 98. A delirium helm for my merc seems mandatory, so I'll farm the runes to make one asap, and I'll probably also respec to wield my etomby so that I have a powerful 1-hit attack with concentrate. Yeah, it should work.
Notable finds so far: Azurewrath from Diablo (never had one!), this sexy Gheed's, 25@ Mara, Lo and Ber in less than 1 hour.

@Kitteh I threw away several HRs, skillers, a soj, windforce, and other nice items (see my char thread for extra details).

Happy grinding everyone!
 
Found 2x Arachnid's Mesh on back to back runs. :D Finally picked up a Shako from Wave 1 minions.

So jealous @NanoMist !!

Reina hit 92 today. We both decided that it was best to alternate running LK until we got something we needed and getting a level. Since our newest rune was an Ohm, we made CTA and started hitting CS. Infector likes spawning Cold Immune a decent percentage of time, but the progress made has been fantastic. Only one or two deaths this level, mostly taking on unnecessary risks (Reina loves to push everything to the limit...).

LK decides to diversify the HR drops.

A HR we definitely needed!

Pretty average, but it makes our CS runs a lot safer!

Nothing was found that was exciting in the CS, we may actually go back to AT for a portion of the next level just to have a more relaxed running pattern, but we'll see. The CS runs are fun in a way, especially if Infector spawns with a bunch of friends.

Nice progress everyone !!!

@NanoMist Nice gear you have there. Especially jealous at the Arachnid's.

@hasuprotoss Congrats on 92. CS indeed is fun once you get used to the rather frantic nature of it.

@zticazzy I still hate you for all the awesome gear you have thrown away. Us normal people just can't get it ... :confused:. And I agree with @coju : S&E would be more efficient in that case.

My LK runs are going well. I didn't have much time, but since it's a really good map, I managed to do some 300 runs: the 50 I mentioned last time and then 250 the day after. Best drop was a Sur. My second, so I'm now 1 Ber away from Infinity. Although I'm actually in doubt if I will save for that second Ber or make CoH for my Sorc instead. Having Insight around is so convenient, which makes me reluctant to switch to Infinity. Also, I'm not sure Infinity would do that much for my Cold Sorc in the CS.

For now I'll save the Surs though. I still haven't found or cubed a single skiller, so I guess I'll be in LK for a while. I did find some improvements in the charms departement, but there is still plenty of room to find better. I also found my share of Mals, Guls and Ists, and have a spare Ohm in my stash. So if I find some more of those, I could cube up to Lo and make my merc a Fortitude. Not sure if that would do so much in the grand picture though.

I also did a second batch of crafting amulets. Nothing good so far though, except for a +2 Necro amulet with good mods. Another reason to stay in LK for a while.

Keep it up folks :).
