The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, The Saviours of Sanctuary Rise Anew

What a day!

So..... still streaming 95% of the time on this hero, would love if people came to chat, keep me less bored. :D (ggDispo96 @ Twitch)

Currently 87, gained two levels since I posted last, I also put myself in the resting heroes spot and not the questing heroes spot lol!.... Grinding it out until I one day get infinity then I'll start trying for 99! (I do have a Sur already so 1/4th of the way there ish! :D Don't know if I'll get Infinity or Enigma first though, found a nice archon before a nice eth 4os base. :D

I was only farming Pindle + E/S & Pits, I added cows, it's been good for now. :D

Since then main finds :

Vex - Pits Level 2 (Made Hoto *37AR, swapped Smoke RW for 4Ptopaz Scarab Husk for better MF/Farming, I don't have max res but I feel safe. :) Need to get so many better items still...)
Cham - Pits Level 2 (No idea what I'll use this for in SP...)
Pul - Cows
Ist - Cows
3 OS Archon (Enigma one day?)
+2 Traps / 11 AR Amulet, bomb find for now!
6OS 8%ES Phase (Don't think this has a use but kept it)
38% Chancies (Wearing and currently at 250% MF on the nose)
4OS 12% ED Dusk Shroud (is CoH even a good SP armor?)
No Socket 13% ED AP (another CoH armor? or non-eth Fort now that E-Bug is gone?)
43 All Res Sacred Targe - Used Cube, now 3OS

I also have 2 threshers, 2 giant threshers and a cryptic axe (all non-eth) that I have to try and cube for 4-5 sockets ( don't think infinity matters eth or not as it's not for the damage)



Current Gear :

Hoto
3Pgem Hat
4Pgem Armor
+2 Trap / AR Amulet
33 FCR Spirit
38% Chancies
Two Random Dual Res Rings
Dual Res Belt
Dual Res Boots w/ MF
Inventory Loaded W/ Res GC/SC and random MF'


Edit : I also made Treachury in a Diamond Mail Armor for Mercenary To replace Leviathan and man his kill speed is so much better, it's why I can Cow now!

So I’m questing with my assassin…is there some consensus on merc? She will probably be a trapper in the end with DT. I had used defiance on my previous iteration and wasn’t super excited about the results but better gear could have made a difference. I kind of want to go HF but have read DS might not be as viable then. Thoughts? Also may have to see what the new patch brings.

I went holy freeze, now that I'm starting to be able to kill stuff and my merc can tank, I want to go might but I don't want to re-roll my map that I have... Such a good map (for me) so I'm waiting until I gear just a little better then I'll re-roll my map.
 
Is anni now a item to plan for, and if so when are people planning for it, as soon as possible? I was debating about dedicated NM Andaraiel running earlier to set this up
 
@ Nona: I think it depends on the character you are playing as well as you as a player (e.g. perfectionist vs. speed runner). For me it was clear that after running Hell Mephisto for some basics and being well prepared for Andy NM at higher difficult settings, going for an SoJ/Anni was a "must" before continuing Fionas journey.


Meanwhile the last (at least for now) update on LK is compiled below.

Character: Fiona UT99er Furyzon SC (level 93 while running)

Runs: 2500

Started: 03.Jan.2022 Finished: 16.Jan.2022

Usually I do not have that much playing time, but when it happened I decided to use it for the mandatory LK runs. The majority of it was fun, but sometimes it was like doing work.

Average time per run: ~1 min (without cubing/crafting/gambling)

Final results for Um+ runes (last 500 runs resulted in Gul and BER):

Um 2
Mal 7
Ist 2
Gul 7
Vex 5
Ohm 1
Lo 1
Sur 1
Ber 1

This enabled me to make my very first Infinity (ever).

Not the best damage roll, but I will take it. :)

In addtion I made my first (or second, I am not sure, if had done one a couple of years ago) CtA.

Quite a bad roll I guess. A 2nd try fill definitely follow some day. I very much like the style of this base though.

Other highlights:

- 1x JMOD :oops:

- 7x (!) 4 OS Eth Thresher (thanks to a very stable rack)

- 4x Java Skiller (39 Skiller in total, ~ half cubed, ~ half found)

- 4x GC with > 100 AR, potentially useful for doing Ubers (I only kept the best 4)

- 8x 7MF SC

- Top3 SC: 17Life + 5 @, 18Life + 10 LR, 3 Max + 20 AR + 14 Life

- Best LC: ???
I am seriously thinking about never picking LCs up again. I have found some ok ones, but nothing special and a lot of garbage.

- About 40 million gold spent gambling (mostly gloves, no good results at all).

- About 100 caster amulet crafted (some +2 ones, but no gg (>10 FCR) amulet)

- Deaths: 4 (Easily preventable, but I kind of had to pick up every flawless gem ;))

Last but not least I could make a Fortitude (which would be a first for me too). Any thoughts about Treachery vs. Fortitude on a Java Merc? Helm is Andys, currently socketed with a Ral. Best armour base available is an Eth 4OS Scarab Husk with 658 Defense.

Thank you for all the posts that kept me motivated. Any input on Fortitude is very much appreciated.

Happy running everyone!
 
For Baal runs I would go Fortitude, especially as you don't have Griffon's to help with broken LIs. DR from the fade on Treachery will be negated by Baals's decrep, so higher damage will keep him leeching.

Anyone know what ilvl is optimum for re-rolling skillers? Or is it whatever with hell GCs?

I believe technically NM Flayer Jungle is the first place that have an ilvl high enough (50?) to drop/roll them, though NM LK (ilvl 52) is the easiest to farm for them. Those will be the 'most efficient' for rolling pure skillers, but obviously having a higher ilvl will open up better secondary mods.

Thank you for the input. Will definately think about it. Although I was lucky enough to get an Griffon`s earlier at Pindle. :cool:

Happy running everyone!
Great progress! What sort of strategies did you use for running LK. I’ve done it with a sorc but will be doing it with my sin hopefully in not too long…Harmony or tele Ammy/switch?

Harmony and Trang-Oul's Scales. :) I actually regreted not having kept an Teleport ammy or FRW circlet. As I did not have a circular map, I always started in A3. I guess with an Assasin it's more smoothly due to BOS and better CC.

Although running LK can be quite frustrating at times, you typically always find something useful, if you do it with an untwinked char. The most exciting phase/state is of course, when you "only" need one more Sur/Ber to finish. Will you do LK for Enigma and Infinity?
 
Harmony, Burst of Speed. Stealth is good too. I had a circlet with TP charges but (unless they fixed it) D2R doesn’t remember the key you bind to the charges, which made it pretty useless.
 
@Nona: I decided to hunt for SoJ at NM Andariel once I was sure I could beat Über Diablo. 300+ runs so far without a SoJ, runs are about 28 sec at p8. As long as it takes under 10 hours to find a SoJ I will definitely save some time this way in my way to level 99 just taking into account XP bonus. And even if it takes longer, it might still be worth it because of the stat boost from Annihilus and less run times because of it.

So, i'm new here and there was a lot re read up on so i might miss understood the thread but here is my effort.

I played SC for a while on battlenet and go all the equipment i want but the GRIND and on PS5 it's worse as there is no lobby/game list.

so, new challage.. lvl 99 hardcorde trophy there are 5 people who have done it so far, I wanted to try.
I play an assasin on SC and i thought, if I got to do 200000 baal runs i should be "quick" and i don't have the amazon trophy, lets go with the amazon.
I created my first solo character and first amazon. After the first 3 ladies died and the furthest i got was Mephisto I think i need to change strategy.

Maybe Sorceres to get so MF and THEN create the amazon...
I also need a Druid and Barb to finish the game with so they are options as well.
The amazon interests me though.... In the end i think I'll go with that but maybe i need to build on my inventory a bit better to prepare

The 5 people so far lvl 99 hardcore on PSN -> well done on them.
 
@NemoG This thread is for getting to 99 untwinked - i.e only solo games and only with items found by the character. Because of the /players8 command, this is only really possible in Single Player. I think we have two of these in HC so far in the Tournament (but many more twinked in other threads).
 
I've been back at it for the past month or so with D2:R. My hardcore assassin which I posted on the other site is still kicking. I have had mixed feelings about moving that character to D2:R however, so Hax is currently just sitting at level 94 and a sur short of an enigma.

I started a Barbarian, Live in D2:R. Hardcore again. Currently level 85, Live played through most of the game as a singer. Double spirit swords is such a cheap way to make the build work well.
He is currently quested up to the ancients (which I probably won't save, but we will see) and running LK. The first 1000 runs:
Sur
Sur
Ohm
Gul
Gul
Mal
Mal

Not too bad. Every one of those runes happened in the first 500 runs, though, so it feels a bit worse to me :p.

The plan was originally to respect to Berserk after LK and run pits to 97 or so. With the upcoming balance changes it might make sense to stay as a singer - excited to find out. The only real items of note that dropped while questing:

and a BK Tribal Guardian. The game is trying to tempt me into making a mediocre frenzy build.

Up next is another 1000 LK runs. I have a decent map - including muling the runs are ~40 seconds. I can reduce it quite a bit by teleporting and a little more by not casting BO, but it's less safe and takes a lot more effort. I'll stick to the nice easy 40 second runs.
 
Without CtA doing Baal was a bit risky. Therefore I rolled a 2nd one. At least it was not worse than the first one. ;)

Screenshot108.png

As I needed better resists and more strength for off-hand Spirit I rolled another RW for the first time. Maybe the start of the RW grail?

Screenshot111.png

Dim Vision is not too bad for running to Baal.

Last but not least to grailers:

Only 1 os. :(
 
Welcome @NemoG I think a zon is quite up to this task of untwinked journey and is definitely doable in HC. Lightning fury, charged strike, and Valk are very handy for killing quickly in later acts and doing so safely with the Valk and merc plus decoy.

The links to competed 99er write ups have fallen out of the table, and I’ll address that at my next update. But here is the write up for Quinta (I guess I never migrated posts from the old site for her).
As you will see, she started as Valk following character in a tourney that was HC or disqualified at first death SC and made it safely. She then went to Pindle and leveled up and then LK to gear up, and then to Baal. Without the tourney, early leveling limitation she likely would have not needed quite so much time to gear so late.

The Amazon starter guide may also be helpful on skill progression and gear choices as she quests early on.
Hope this is helpful and good luck. Looking forward to hearing about your progress!

@Irenicus if you have the Lo and don’t need it for potential cubing up to make one of the biggie runewords, I agree with max that it will likely do more for the zon than Treachery. I used Duriels for Quintas merc up to 96.5 or so because I didn’t have the runes for the Fortitude, and didn’t think treachery would add more than Duriels with CBF and strength for extra damage and leach. The Fortitude made him sturdier due to leech. His main purpose is to provide the aura so better leeching means he’s more likely to stay upright and keep that aura going. But I cant remember if you’re still working on Enigma, in which case I might hold onto it in case you end up being able to cube a needed Sur and finish it off quicker.
