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

It has gone a bit quiet, I do have stuff to add, I've been working on TC3 tourny and I did spend some time organising the tables rather than actually playing!

I think I'm pretty much done with the prettification stuff unless you had any other suggestions for things to improve on? I actually started another untwinked 99er around New Years, but I've yet to add it to the table. Going to work on the write up a bit first. Still got to play Durnik some more, but been distracted lately.

As in, Eddings' Durnik? :D
 
How the hell did I miss this? o_O

You didn't, you even posted this

"few"

Had to do a forum search for Durnik to find all the relevant pages.

Yeah sorry about that, was on mobile and couldn't be bothered to find it. The latest posts included links to the whole story so far.
 
This somehow managed to drop to page 2 and we can't have that, now can we?
I've had the last few days off so I was able to advocate quite a bit of time towards progression.
Still doing some streaming of P8 Vizier/Infector when possible (https://www.twitch.tv/ynggaming) so feel free to stop by and check out my coffee-fueled late night grinding. I'll try to get better about posting here when I'm actually streaming as it's quite inconsistent/completely based on my work schedule and what's going on at home. Getting closer to getting that new setup and I must admit I'm quite excited about the potential for more projects and better run times/less issues with FPS.

Been experimenting with my belt slots/charm combinations and I think I finally have decided on the belt lineup, at least until I'm done with CS and consequently Blizzard. I get charm upgrades fairly often but I don't bother screenshotting a +18 small charm over a +17 for example. I'm currently using a completely full inventory of charms with cube. 4x2 is advocated towards pickups and the other row is mostly used to hold Flawless Amethyst.

This one was sooo close. Great charm nonetheless.

Sup Yng, I went to twitch tv to watch your CS runs. By streaming do you have to be playing for me to watch? Does it not capture the video for users to watch at another time?
 
@DaveW correct, but I’m starting to record as well as stream so I’ll try to edit and post some videos of 2 seal runs from Blizzard perspective soon.
 
Again, fact: Complaining helps. First one of these dropped for Ric.


Together with his Ber stashed safely in his vault, Enigma is "only" the equivalent of 3 Surs away. So far so good.

Also I guess this is as good a time as any for a proof of life from HelpYourself. Not too much time to play the last 1-2 weeks, but had some 20-30 minutes sessions in the evenings here and there. She is now past the 1/3 mark and at... well, nothing special except for the fact that I like that XP number:

View attachment 7973

Well yeah, could have put some more effort into it and get 8k XP more, I guess :P

Initially I doubted whether her recent Merc upgrade was worth it, but from the running since then I think it was. Confuse proccing a bit faster sometimes defuses some of those situations that are not clearly immediate S&E, but not super safe either (e.g. something like Nihl Might rolls with "borderline" number of Vipers or Witches around). Rough estimate would be it reduced aborted runs by some 10%. Given she rarely aborts it's not a game changing difference, but I'll take it, as well as the general bit of extra safety. Overall things are going smooth for her still, not getting into any real danger since her last death around 10% into the level.

I'll follow the tradition of more detailed updates every 25%, hope to hit 98.50 around next weekend and share some drops. :)
