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

That's a weird display issue on the jewel affixes... does D2R do that much?

WoRG
 
Oh, this was supposed to be posted in my personal thread lol, oh well. You made me realize that I probably can't post here anymore anyways, I started using a loot filter in D2R because sometimes the drops are just way harder to see, runes don't drop first out of chests in LK like they did in D2 ect, you can't get rid of drops, you just shorten names so things are easier to see. It's all done without changing the game files so it's allowed even on battle.net, no bans globally, figured it would be fine but forgot how strict thigns are here.

Hurricane-Syd has done another 1,000 LK runs. These runs definitely balanced out the rune count for sure. Far better runes 11 Pul+ runes with 3 being Vex+. This comparing to the first 2,000 runs being 17 Pul+ runes and 3 Vex+. So that's really helpful. This set of 1,000 runs has opened the rune word options massively. It also got Syd halfway to making Enigma. WOOHOO! On to the drops.

5 note worthy non rune drops.

Run 2216--Pally Combat w/ 19 life

Run 2562--Cold Skiller w/29 GF (No Screenshot)

Run 2602-- Jeweler's Monarch of Spikes (So close to Jmod....kind of)
Screenshot259.png
Run 2631--Gheed's 150/15/38 Best overall Gheed's I've found. I have found 160 or 15 or 40 but never all 3 rolls being near the top.
(No Screenshot when dropped, just one after in the stash)

Run 2905--Bow Skiller w/12 FHR

Now on to the runes:

Run 2092--Gul

Run 2158--Gul (Missed Screenshot :()

Run 2168--Pul

Run 2289--Pul

Run 2391--Mal

Run 2413--SUR!!

Run 2562--SUR #2!!

Run 2686--LoScreenshot260.png

Run 2867--Gul
Screenshot261.png

Run 2959--Ist
Screenshot263.png

Run 2960--Mal
Screenshot264.png


So after 3,000 LK runs, 750+ Trav Runs, this is what Hurricane-Syd's rune stash is looking like. I need to save another Tir, Ith, and Sol rune to fix the holes that are bothering me after taking this screenshot.
Screenshot265.png

5 Pul, 3 Um, 4 Mal, 3 Ist, 4 Gul, 2 Vex, 1 Ohm, 1 Lo, 3 Sur

Enough to roll a 2nd HoTo because Syd's is only 31 all res.
Runes to roll a Fortitude for the Merc,
Runes to Roll a CTA (could roll 2 if I cube all 4 Gul to an Ohm)

3 Surs means Syd has 1 Ber out of 3 needed from LK to make an Enigma (Cubing 2 Bers to Jah of course)

Last option that could be done also is completely cube all the runes up which would net Syd 1 Pul, 1 Um, 1 Gul, 1 Vex, 1 Ohm and 1 JAH
(Not happening) Lose out on HoTo, CTA, and Fort...all for 1 JAH? Nope not worth it in my mind...maybe....idk...if a Ber drops next, maybe....time will tell.

Hopefully the next 1,000 runs gets Hurricane-Syd to an Enigma. After Enigma its on to Key Farming for a Torch and then NM Andy grinding for a SOJ to get an Anni. Once the Anni is acquired its off to the grind of leveling to 99.

Plans are always nice if they work. Back to the LK grind...just 3 Sur or 1 Sur/1 Ber away...come on LK, keep being nice.

Been part of the forum for years, I'm aware, just forgot. Thanks for the double dip on the rules though. It's fine, sad this place is dying and nobody wants to change. Could be the go to, but good by all. :) Thanks to everyone over the years that's given tips/advice ect, still may pop in for questions but wont be posting anymore gameplay.
 
Hello. Quick update.
Nice runs to all.

Just a quick update - since the previously listed run 635, I've done 665 more LK runs in search of the final Sur or Ber for my first ever Infinity. The results of those runs:

1152 - Lo (from a corpse), and a 20/9% FR SC

That is all. Not one rune higher than a Lem from the Superchests in those 665 runs. It looks like my good luck was short-lived, as the RNG gods have apparently woken up. :cry:

Another quick update - I've now gone from 1,300 LK runs to 1,800 LK runs in search of that elusive second Sur to make my first ever Infinity. Only drops of note:

1331 - Mal
1409 - Um (from a corpse)
1465 - Mal

And 1690:
MM - Run #1690 - Ohm Rune.png

Still no 2nd Sur (I of course would take a Ber too). These runs are so mind-numbing that I will 100% stop them once I find it - I'd stop right now to change things up, but this map is just too good to give up when I'm this close. One thing to also note here is that my runs are a little slower than those of other people, as I pick up all Grand and Small Charms, as well as all Flawless gems, in hopes of rerolling a Bow & Crossbow skiller. Between all those Grand Charms and all those gems I've cubed to perfect for rerolls, I've gotten exactly 0 B&C skillers so far (I've gotten quite a few +20 Life SC, though most have no additional mods of note). Such is life in the world of RNG, but at least a positive by-product is that these LK runs are darned good at helping improve your charm inventory.
 
Hey UT99er thread.

So what's new?
Me? ... Oh not much.
I mean, I've made a bit of progress since last I was here ...
Let's see, when last I checked in here, I was at ... clvl 1.
And now ...


Das-Omen
CLVL 97 Lightning Sorceress

282.png

Turns out, I like the idea of a UT99er. And I like posting updates. I just haven't quite figured out what to do in this thread. I've posted updates about this character in the IFT threads, the RFL threads, around the edges of updates about other characters ... but just haven't found my way back here. Well, seeing how we're getting towards the business end of things, I figured it was time for a proper update. If you read all the threads around the SPF, and have a really good memory for what other people are doing, this probably won't be anything new. If you only read this thread or perhaps a select few, this is going to seem like a pretty big jump! Now where to begin ...

Timeline:

Created: December 6, 2021
She then got exclusive play for the next seven weeks. So, let's break things down by the week. Actually, I already did, in the One, Two, Buckle my Shoe - Item Find Thread. But I'll recap the highlights and link here!

Week #1 - Quested through NM. Found a 35@ Vipermagi and SoJ #1 at NM Andariel.
Week #2 - Found SoJ #2 and Tal's Amulet at NM Andariel. Found a white Monarch and Cryptic Axe that both rolled four sockets in the Pit.
Week #3 - Hit clvl 88. Started LK. Found Vex, Ohm x2, Sur, and Ber.
Week #4 - More LK. Couldn't find that last Sur needed for Infinity. Did find Vex x2.
Week #5 - More LK. Found Ohm, Sur, Ber and racked an eth 4os Thresher. Made HoTO (38@), CTA (4 BO), and Infinity (280 ED). Started Mephisto. Found Skullder's.
Week #6 - More Mephisto. Found Harlequin Crest, Arachnid Mesh, SoJ #3, and Vamp Gaze (8% LL, 20% DR, 13 MDR <--Socketed w/Sol).
Week #7 - Turned SoJ #3 into an Anni (18/10@/7). Started Pindle. Found Tal's Armor and Griffon's Eye (-18/+13 <--Socketed w/-4/+5 L Facet).

At the end of Week #7 Das-Omen was at clvl 94, and I dropped the weekly updates because I'd already found everything that I wanted! I mean, finding a Griffon's Eye with an untwinked Lightning Sorceress at clvl 93! ... That drop still excites me!

064.png

Das-Omen's next big adventure was getting a Torch. She went from clvl 94 to clvl 96 farming essences off bosses (to respec mid battle) and gathering keys. And then, Ubers! <-- described on February 9, 2022, in the One, Two, Buckle my Shoe - Item Find Thread. The short version is: Run minis as a Lightning Sorceress with lots of - Enemy Lightning Resistance (Griffon's, Crescent Moon). Kill Uber Baal and Diablo. Respec to a Meteor Sorceress with a Token of Absolution and kill Uber Mephisto. Next run, kill Uber Mephisto first, then respec back to a Lightning Sorceress and kill Uber Baal and Diablo. That was the most 'Lightning Sorceress' solution to Ubers that I could think up. And it worked! It took sixteen Uber runs, but Das-Omen got a nice Sorceress Torch (Reported here on February 12, 2022).

085.png

Then there was this long pause while I mostly played a couple of untwinked, HC, single pass characters.

The exception was the RFL. I played Das-Omen in Rounds #1, #2, and #3. Much to my great surprise, she won Round #2 with Cham, Jah, Ber, Lo, and Ist. Getting the win was fun, but more important was getting the runes. The Jah and Ber went into an Enigma, which completed her setup! I suppose that brings me to:

Gear:

I encourage you to check her out over at maxroll. I loaded her D2S file there at clvl 96, prior to v2.4. Since v2.4, that feature doesn't seem to be working ... But the gear hasn't changed, and she's done maxing damage synergies ... so really there's no difference. So, if you want a more interactive experience, click this link. If you want it the old way ... read on ...

Conclusion:

And, that brings us up to date. She hit clvl 97 at the end of Round #3 of the RFL, and I've been resisting playing her until I did a proper update here, and at long last added her to the table:

Up next:

Time to get serious about leveling! I'll be doing Baal runs (players 1 through Bartuc, players 7 through Lister, players 3 Baal). And when that gets boring, I'll be doing Diablo runs (players 1 through the three seals, then players 7 Diablo). Her personal Grail is at -38, so there's still some low hanging fruit! Let's see what we can find along the way!

Another quick update - I've now gone from 1,300 LK runs to 1,800 LK runs in search of that elusive second Sur to make my first ever Infinity. Only drops of note:

1331 - Mal
1409 - Um (from a corpse)
1465 - Mal

And 1690:
View attachment 81058

Still no 2nd Sur (I of course would take a Ber too). These runs are so mind-numbing that I will 100% stop them once I find it - I'd stop right now to change things up, but this map is just too good to give up when I'm this close. One thing to also note here is that my runs are a little slower than those of other people, as I pick up all Grand and Small Charms, as well as all Flawless gems, in hopes of rerolling a Bow & Crossbow skiller. Between all those Grand Charms and all those gems I've cubed to perfect for rerolls, I've gotten exactly 0 B&C skillers so far (I've gotten quite a few +20 Life SC, though most have no additional mods of note). Such is life in the world of RNG, but at least a positive by-product is that these LK runs are darned good at helping improve your charm inventory.

I've gotten in 200 more LK run to move from 1700 to 1900, with the only one of note being this one:

1896
MM - Run 1896 - Vex Rune.png

Which leads me to a crossroads question, as I now have the runes to cube up to that second Ber for Infinity (2 Gul + 1 Vex + 1 Ohm + 1 Lo + 1 Sur). Do I just bite the bullet and cube up, bearing in mind how utterly sick I am of LK runs, but knowing I lose the best LK map I've ever had because I would head to Act I Nightmare to farm a Wizendraw, as well as burn up the Ohm and Lo I've now got for CTA and Ice? Or do I bear down and continue to plow through LK looking for that second Sur/Ber on its own, saving the above runes for a CTA and a possible Ice down the road, but possibly losing my mind in the process? I'm heavily leaning toward the former and cubing up, but would love to hear if there are any dissenting opinions.... :unsure:
 
i personally would not cube up any runes below Sur. you also dont need to go to Nm to farm Wizendraw. any of the MF targets in Hell will drop it eventually. Otherwise try gambling if you are set on wizendraw (prob need 10 mil gold for that).

Different take from me, but I’d cube and be done with it. The main question is whether you’re saving those lower runes that would be cubed for anything else?

After 7 of these, my experience has been that other runes drop as you progress. Once I had enigma (or which edge was key runeword) I tried to shift to leveling. And the runes fell (or they didn’t) but I had a break from LK and was able to do another 1000 runs by then. The main issue for me was to avoid burnout with a single target.

Ordinarily, I would agree with what you've said here not about cubing up any runes below Sur. Vex, Ohm, and Lo runes have historically not fallen often at all for me, so having one of each in my stash (to go along with multiple Gul runes) only to use them all up in cubing up to a second Ber is a painful thought. But....

I think Phineas raises a valid point about what I would be saving those runes for. As far as I can tell, a Frostmaiden Bowazon doesn't have much use for the Vex. Ohm would obviously go to a CTA. So that leaves the Lo rune - it's part of Ice, which would be wonderful....but how realistic is Ice for an untwinked Bowazon, when a Jah rune is also needed? And the burnout of LK runs is very real right now. That being said, I've now gone over 1600 runs in a row since that first Sur rune dropped, when I believe the odds are just under 1000 runs for a Sur to drop? Gambler's Fallacy is telling me that second Sur rune has to drop soon, but the realist in me is telling me it's called a fallacy for a reason. Also, part of the "Untwinked Experience" to me is trying to make do with whatever items drop over the course of levelling, rather than grinding LK interminably until I have all the runes for every BiS item I can equip.

I appreciate the differing opinions though, as to me it validates that there are arguments to be made for either side, so I thank you both for your insights. :)

Hey everybody.
Its finally time for a new update:

Since my last post ive been farming LK exclusively.

Here are the runes:

Screenshot084.png
Screenshot086.png
Screenshot091.png
Screenshot093.png
Screenshot095.png
Screenshot101.png
Screenshot105.png

That makes:
SUR
OHM
OHM
BER
OHM
OHM
VEX

and 2 GUL runes.

Soo many ohm runes lol. That makes 6 with the 2 i found earlier.

I also got some nice charms:

Screenshot079.png
Screenshot097.png
Screenshot099.png

Already 3 Java skillers.
Not too bad. Quite happy. Must have been around 20 hours i think.

I decided to cube up the runes to finally get infinity.
But first I rolled another CTA

Screenshot106.png

My first ever 6 cta. Hell yea.
But after some good RNG some bad RNG was bound to happen....

Screenshot107.png


I want to cry =(((
Almost antiperf -.-

Well now its time to farm the pits and arachnid lair to get griffons and the remaining HRs to craft enigma.
Still too lazy to update the tables iam sorry... I will do it eventually.

GL HF to everyone
 
It's been 2 weeks since Syd had an update, and this is a great update to be writing. LK runs are done! Rune drops were plentiful from run 3,000 to 3,688! In those 688 runs Syd found 2 Puls, 1 Um, 1 Mal, 1 Ist, 1 Ohm, 3 Surs!!!

Screenshot279.png

Here is Syd's screenshot prior to making Enigma, Fortitude, Grief, and HoTo. Some how Syd never kept a 5os Weapon for CtA so that was put on hold. Screenshot281.png

Enigma Roll--Screenshot282.png


Fortitude Roll--Screenshot283.png


Grief Roll--Screenshot284.png

HoTo Roll--Screenshot285.png

After all those rolls, and some equipment adjustments, Syd decided to use the last socket quest on the Stormshield for more resists. Screenshot286.png


Once all of this was accomplished, it time to start Key farming for Torches. Syd ran Countess, Summoner and Nihl for keys to acquire 7 torches if needed hoping 1 of the first 7 rolled Druid.

Nihl decided to be generous and drop a nice rune while the farming was going on. Screenshot288.png

Keys are done and time to respect to a Werebear using Maul with the Grief/SS for mini ubers.
Screenshot289.png
Screenshot290.png


After going through all the mules Sydney has created to hold onto the needed gear for a Maul Werebear, I noticed Syd didn't have Drac's for the life tap. So lucky I didn't respec before looking for all the gear. Syd went straight to farming Mephisto on P5 with 549MF. Syd would also need an Arach's for the 99 grind so it was decided to keep on Meph til both Drac's and Arach's. I didn't keep track of the number of runs done to do this but it was done over 4 days. Syd also came across a 5os Crystal Sword while farming Meph thanks to the Ghoul Lords behind Meph. So CtA was rolled as well.Screenshot292.png
Screenshot293.pngScreenshot294.png


Officially time to start Ubers.

Lilith--Screenshot295.png
Duriel--Screenshot296.png
Izual--Forgot to get 1 screenshot out of the 7 runs :confused::confused:

Organs done. Screenshot297.png

Used 1 token to respec into a Fury Werewolf and used a Up'd Ribcracker found from hell Meph.

Uber Meph--Screenshot298.png

Uber Diablo--Screenshot300.png

Uber Baal--Screenshot303.png


Torch #1-- AmazonScreenshot305.png

Torch #2--DRUID!!!!Screenshot306.png

Torch done. Next on the list was NM Andy for a SOJ! So Sydney had to respec back to Tornado/Hurricane with a Token. I don't know how many runs it was to get the SOJ but it was the 10th unique ring to drop.Screenshot308.png

Off to A5 to sell to Larzuk and then Uber D!!! Well I shopped for a prevent monster heal weapon from Charsi first. That way I didn't have to respec to Fury or Maul again. Just take some time to get that Anni. Screenshot310.png

There he is....Screenshot311.png

16 minutes later.....there he goes! Not the best rolled Anni but it's still an Anni on a SSF UT HC Druid. :D:eek::oops:Screenshot312.pngScreenshot313.png

Now to the long, long, long, long (did I mention long?) grind to 99 now.

Any questions about any of the gear used by the Maul Bear or Fury Druid for ubers just ask and I'll be happy to let you know. This post was already going to be long enough as is.

Grind on. Stay Safe.
 
Wow, quite the haul and dedication to get it. Hoping for smooth progress for Syd on the XP grind!
 
Eeek!

I think I am getting more risk adverse as I get older ... long term hardcore projects make me nervous ... even when they're not mine!

Congrats on all the progress with Syd! I've enjoyed reading about his journey since his tournament days! (y)
 
@PhineasB Thanks. I've read all about your UT Sept of 99ers, which is crazy, but it got me to start with 1 UT character to make the push, I only play HC so that's another challenge in, and of itself.

@Pax1990 and @ffs Thanks

@HanShotFirst Ya I'm still pretty nervous myself. Closing in on 93, but even when Syd breezes through P7 Pits/AT and P5 Chaos/Baal I'm still very afraid of those double boss pack spawns with nasty mods.

I'm glad everyone has taken some interest in this journey. Its keeping me on the grind with it for sure. It gives me a little motivation to keep the grind going.

Wow, this is some incredible dedication! (Same goes for several others posting in this thread, of course.) Bravo. I don't think I have it in me to do this, but I love reading about it.
