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

Champion Redux, Blizz Sorc, and Emilio the A2 HF Merc, Lvl 93

As I was pushing Septimus to lvl 98 last November, I was thinking about what projects I'd take on when I finished him off. As I noted in my updates for him, I was also struggling for motivation to push him through the end. My tactic when that happens is to switch up to another character, to keep things interesting.

I ended up questing a twinked character through early game, but I also decided it would interesting to start another untwinked 99er to apply the lessons I'd learned with the prior seven. I'd always enjoyed the early game to gear up before the XP grind, minus the countless LK runs. So a Sorc it was!

I ended up spending most of November on Redux, quickly pushing her to NM Pindle with random gear. NM Duriel had been generous, and allowed the merc to up his leech and resists with Tal's mask, which was quite nice, and NM HF was a Lem. She leveled at Pindle to 70, and finished NM at lvl 73 before doing some Meph runs. Those produced a low roll SoVM and Tal's amulet, which allowed her to transition to Hell less than a week after I'd built her.

This just reinforced for me the value of pushing through Normal and NM as quickly as possible, with Eldritch / Pindle available to easily level up and Meph runs to gear up for Hell. After not liking the p1 experience with the Phaedrus, I went p7 and she was plenty powerful as a pure Blizz Sorc to handle things.

Redux then dropped to p1 and pushed through quickly to A5 Hell in a weekend, with a brief stop at AT to gain two levels. Along the way, she picked up a spectacular drop questing through in the Oasis:

AT yielded a Mal, but not much else, including two failed attempts to cube a Monarch for Spirit. We then zipped ahead to Meph, then HF (Mal), and then through to Anya rescue, which required 4 tries before we had a success due to Frozenstein challenges. She had also picked up a plain CV that got 4os in the cube and the first elite Insight option for the merc.

She then Pindled to lvl 89, with no notable drops other than a 43MF pair of War Travelers, and then switched to AT to lvl 92, picking up an Eschuta's for a major weapon upgrade (FCR and 3 skills), a 4os Thresher that replaced the CV Insight, and a plain Monarch in A5 that got 4os, which was her fourth try overall.

Then we made a brief stop in LK, with the hope of finding ingredients for HotO, and maybe CtA. LK had other plans though, with the Vex for HotO delivered within the first 100 runs, a Gul and Pul shortly following, and then at the end of the third hour of LK, a Ber. We then did some Meph runs, hoping for an upgrade (and dreaming of Arachnid's), with 15% Cold damage +3 Thunderstorm Ormus robes the only notable drop, and an interesting option to have in the arsenal.

I then decided to make CoH, instead of HotO, which was probably a mistake in retrospect. The +2 skills and resists were nice (and allowed her to take on CS (mostly) safely even without CtA. I think HotO would have so far outclassed Eschuta's, while SoVM was pretty solid compared to CoH, that the other choice was better the better one. Oh well, I had the Ber and decided I should use it! I had to choose between the two becuase I had only the one Pul, and needed to cube up Fals and Lems to get a second for the Um in CoH, leaving Redux without the Pul needed for HotO.

I then decided to test out CS, and she managed pretty well, picking up another Gul and Death Cleaver up to lvl 93, with only one death due to Vizier spanwing right on top of her. We did a few Meph runs off and on through the level, netting a Stone of Jordan.

This was all through the end of November, so less than a month since her creation. At this point, I got reengaged with the Druid, and she sat until early March when Septimus dinged 99. The lack of CtA was being felt so I decided another batch of LK runs was in order, and I could do those off-and-on as breaks from the characters I was planning to quest through. An hour or so one evening yielded a Gul, Um, and another Lem that allowed a Pul to be cubed, resulting in her HotO (37@ roll was nice).

She rested until early April, with a couple hours on a Friday evening resulting in a Sur, a Pul, and a Cold skiller with 20 life, as her first. She got several 30-minute chunks into June, mixing LK with Meph, with another Sur and only 2 Puls (plus a Burning skiller with Dexterity), and still needing a Mal/Ist or Gul/Vex/Ohm to complete CtA. I then spent several hours last weekend in LK, with a Lo dropping early (and not being especially useful :rolleyes:), followed almost immediately by a Mal. She also picked up a plain Lightning Skiller, giving her one of each skill tree. The next day a Gul fell, allowing her to cube up the ingredients and a nice +5 BO roll:

In all, Redux spent longer in LK than I had hoped, but I could have skipped Meph runs (which aren't really needed after that initial batch, but she has a great map) to LK and finished sooner. I estimate about 12 hours, although in fairness she picked up ingredients for Infinity, Fortiude, HotO and CtA in that time so was pretty lucky. I just made a CoH instead of Infinity.

She's had 9 deaths to date, most a function of being underleveled and undergeared (mostly resists). Nova explosions from MSLE NM Pindle, a H AT boss, and Hell Pindle were the first three; two 1-hit kills from amp'ed charging Pindle at lvl 88 were next; and then amp'ed mana burn Marauders in AT at lvl 91 and 92, same roll apes in LK at 93, and the Vizier spawn noted above were the rest.

Redux will very much be a on-and-off long-term project. But I've realized that I enjoy running 99ers for the MF and RF tourneys, as the XP progress is a nice additive reward for completing sets in those. I'm planning to finish up my 2H Melee Sept before turning back to Redux, and likely progressing my HC pally. But being to run CS with her when I only have short chunks of time available will be nice to have in the rotation.

Cheers!

Champion Redux, Blizz Sorc, and Emilio the A2 HF Merc, Lvl 94

My 2H Melee Sorc was making great progress through the latter part of last week and then Saturday morning, so after she finished A2 H, I spent some time with Redux. She had done a few Meph runs with MF gear, netting a Pul prior to that. Then I kept a partial MF set up to do some AT runs, but the XP was low, and once she dropped a unique Spired Helm (that wasn't Nightwing's), we assessed gear to focus on CS.

After a few challenging runs, with the Merc quite squishy and requiring some babysitting, I remembered the Lo she had picked up in LK. One cube attempt with eth Archon she'd picked up got 2os, so we Hel'ed a plain 4s Archon because the defense really doesn't make a difference and the extra life leech from 300% ED would make a big difference (especially with no eth Elite polearm dropping yet for an Insight upgrade). Then Magefist came in (didn't have Trang's yet), which allowed the CoH to shift to the Sorc while keeping 105 FCR and overstacking resists. Nice!

It's a little more frantic than I'd like, and the density in the arms is not ideal. But there are two stable boss packs on the RoF stretch, and rarely overlapping boss packs that can give trouble, so I kept it. Once she gets another level I'll probably reroll maps to get more stable Vizier spawn (he spawns everywhere on his arm), and hopefully less populated, while more bosses around Infector, as I noticed last time that level made it easier to sipmly stand still and drop Blizzards.

Drops, not really: a Shapeshifting Skiller with FHR and Trang's for another FCR option. But overstacked resists with CoH make Magefist better for slight bump to Warmth. Here's the rundown of her current gear, which definitely could use some upgrades!

Current gear:
- eth HotO / 35 FCR Spirit
- 5 BO CtA / Spirit
- CoH
- up'ed Goldwrap (nothing better available and MF is helpful)
- Shako (pTopaz)
- Magefist
- War Traveler (43 MF); same as belt slot
- Tal's amulet
- SoJ and 10 FCR rare with FR and life
- Backback: 1 Cold skiller, SCs with resist, FHR to hit 86 breakpoint, life, mana and dext (less time in LK definitely limits charm collection)

Merc:
- Insight in Thresher
- Fortitude
- Tal's mask

The merc's gear can also defintely be upgraded!

So a few months ago I deeded my Sin after resurrecting her from a game crash. It was a big roller coaster to say the least! Anyway, I'm thinking of starting her again but now with the new D2R changes, I am wondering what build I should go with her for a potential 99er. I initially wanted to do a lightning/kicker as I love CB on the kicks for boss running. But is there a better build now for the 99er task?

Conqueror Live the Barbarian is officially done with LK at 3900 runs, not bad. 3 sur runes in the first 800 runs and then 2 more in the last 200. Roughly 3000 runs in between but overall a solid showing. Immediately crafted a mageplate enigma and a heart of the oak in a knout (plenty of dex given a max block build):

Final stats over 3800 runs:
5 Sur
4 Ohm
3 Vex
3 Gul
3 Ist
7 Mal
10 Um
1 Pul

I also collected a lot of good charms, no surprise. 1 Warcry skiller. There was an armor rack dropping Blood Spirits so I ended up with 2 Cerebus' Bite, including a 4/2/112. I also found 2 trang's gloves, which is good because I accidentally dropped the first pair while running and didn't notice.


Somewhere in the middle of the last 800 runs I got frustrated with LK and leveled from 87 to 90 with pits + pindle. Pits was generous and dropped a Stormshield and a (very low) Ravenlore. Amazingly, Pindle dropped

Not so good for this character long term, but what a great drop.


So far Live has been a warcry build - now that I've made the Enigma I have some decisions to make. I still need some uniques - Harlequin Crest, Arachnid's, probably some other basic stuff. The quickest way to get those is obviously mephisto, but that probably requires a respect. I'm currently running pits for a few levels and hoping I get what I need. I also need to find an soj so I can get an annihilus charm.

Sitting at level 90 with 3500 life, 1100 mana, and max block with stormshield. The warcry buff in 2.4 is huge - I can run p8 pits no problem.
Current gear:
Griffon's Eye (gets Live to 105fcr until I find arachs + shako)
Heart of the Oak
Stormshield
Trans gloves
rare fcr/str/mana/res rings. These are ok
crafted 2 warcries + res caster amulet
crafted caster belt
belt.PNG
crafted caster boots (these aren't great but good enough for now)



Finally, I'm not sure whether to attempt Uber Tristram. This is hardcore and that would be a sad way to go out. 10-20 res/stats would be nice, but unless I manage to get a barb torch I'm not sure it'd be worth it. Has anyone else run trist on a hardcore untwinked 99er?

I have 1 respect left and have not done Baal yet. It seems like 98-99 is best done concentrate on nihlthak. Is whirlwind Baal the default choice for the levels before that? I know I can get to 96/97 running pits but it's probably significantly slower.

The Barbarian looks pretty good in a Griffon's :cool:

Nice progress, and glad to hear he's still alive! I think Baal runs are going to be most efficient XP option, even considering burning Ancients early rather than saving for level 98. But that conventional wisdom assumes dual hard-hitting weapons, and Griefs in particular. I have no idea if Baal runs would be faster than Pit if running with lower damage weapons. Lister is a pain sometimes, even with dual Grief, so I can't imagine with less optimal weapons.

I am in D2L, so I can't offer input on running for torches.
 
Congrats on the finds. Barb is quite good for solo Ubers. I think people usually use Frenzy and the usual set up (Dual Grief, Highlords, Laying of Hands, Gorerider, Areats etc). Howl is a great skill for Ubers, because you can howl away all the trash mobs that spawn.

Sorry about the very long silence. Due to RL I only had very little playing time, but still tried to spend most of it on my untwinked Amazon Fiona.

After making Infinity and doing same Baal runs, I came to the conclusion that I "must" continue doing LK runs for Enigma as the next step. Progress has been quite slow, but the next 500 runs are done (runs 2501 to 3000 in total), resulting in many Um+ runes, but unforunately still no direct chest Ber drop. :(

Results of runs 2501-3000:

1x Um
1x Mal
1x Ist
2x Gul
2x Vex
1x Ohm

Best skiller: Cold with 22 Life

I will continue running LK with the goal to get to 5-6 thousand runs until end of this year. Let's see how that goes.

Thanks to anyone for keeping this thread/challange alive, it's a great motiviation! Happy running everyone!
 
Not much to report on May-may, my Frozen Arrow Bowazon. She's moved up from level 89 to about 2/3 through 91 now, and has been mixing it up between Andariel runs, Chaos runs (at P3), and Stony Tombs + Ancient Tunnels runs (at P5, though the last one I did was P7 just as a pilot run). The drops have been woeful, with nothing of note at all other than a Wisp Projector, and also rolling my first B/C skills charm. Her gear at the moment:

Weapon - Melody Stag Bow (with +3 B/C skills base)
Head - Rare Coronet (30% R/W, 91% AR Bonus, +12 Dex, +35 Life, +19% All Res, socketed with 15% IAS jewel)
Armor - Smoke Ghost Armor
Gloves - Rare Light Gauntlets (+2 B/C skills, +20% IAS, +4 Str, +9% FR, +21% MF)
Belt - Upped Goldwrap (79% GF)
Boots - Rare Light Plated Boots (30% R/W, +38% FR, +35% FR, +10% FHR, 25% reduced Poison Length)
Ammy - Mara's (25% all res)
Ring - Rare (+28 Life, +31% GF, 9/9/35/14 res)
Ring - Rare (5% ML, +12 Mana, 18/10/10/10 res)
Charms - 1 plain B/C skiller, balance with combination of +life, +res, +mana)

I have an Edge bow in inventory that I use for gambling coronets. While I really like the one I have, it would be nice to have a +2 skills circlet of some kind that also has some of the affixes I currently have. My two biggest goals right now:

-Chains of Honor - I'm one Sur or Ber rune away, and my philosophy is to play Enigma-free, so CoH would allow me the +2 skills while still being able to max out my resistances. But the thought of trying even one more LK run to achieve this makes me ill.
-Razortail (so I can reach 100% Pierce)

I might take a short break from May-may, and work on DirkStruan (my Fanatic Zealadin) or Jin-qua (my skellymancer) just to change things up for a bit.

Champion Redux, Blizz Sorc, and Emilio the A2 HF Merc, Lvl 95
I had been focused on my HC tourney Paladin and then leveling a Poisonmancer for possible use in MFO, but I have gotten some short sessions in with Redux in CS, and then a large chunk of time Friday evening and then yesterday to finish off the next level. I don't think it took much more than seven hours, so about double what @Gripphon saw with an XP optimized Sorc, which seems about right given her gear.

We almost started things off with a bang, and then picked up a nice Earthshifter about a quarter of the way into the level:

Then nothing much, except an Ist, a Pul, the set Mythical Sword, and an offensive pally skiller with lightning damage. And no upgrades for Redux. Merc still doesn't have an eth elite polearm for Insight, so I think I my roll an LK map for racking. And she still is sitting on 2 Surs, so Infinity shouldn't be an issue to have ingredients by level 98 with another 3 levels in CS.

Organs 21_08_2022 23_04_47.png
Sixteen sets of organs are ready, but I am down to 3 Full Rejuvs. I burned loads on Lilith as for some reason it seemed to take ages for Life Tap to affect her. I was chugging about 4 per run and went through my entire stash. So now I have to farm some before taking on the Ubers in the main event.

Go Go Go!!! I have deeded four attempts at a 99er assassin. I live vicariously through you!


Did you already do uber Diablo?

After Live got his Enigma, I decided it was time to get an annihilus charm. I used the last respec to turn into whirlwind, rolled a grief
grief.PNG

and then started looking for a good catacombs map. I never found a great one, but I ran until I had 25 unique rings:

9 Nagelring (29% is the best 16% worst)
5 Manald Heal
5 Ravenfrost (20/219 which Live is currently wearing)
3 Dwarf Star
2 Carrion Wind
aaand 2! sojs.

Uber Diablo is suitably easy, goblin toes = dead. So I got 2 annis. I was hoping for 10% experience gain. I got:

anni2.PNG
anni.PNG

20/12/6 is pretty darn sweet. I probably don't need to sell any more sojs.

Anni acquired, Live tried out some baal runs. They were ok at lower player settings, but p8 is going to be a real grind if he wants to wear a shield. I'm really hoping not to RIP. Once I figured that out, I decided to get a token of absolution and go back to the pits for a while. During the baal runs to get an essence, I did get a Harlequin Crest, which is great.

That's where I am now. Running pits at p8 is fine experience and very safe. Live is currently 93 and some change. I think I'll stay in the pits till 96 at least. I might farm another token and try out warcry again. We will see.

Current Gear:
Harlequin Crest 'Um'
+1 Barb / 10fcr / 20 all res amulet
Raven Frost
10fcr/119ar/19str/29 cold res ring
Crafted belt pictured in the last post
Grief
Stormshield 'Um'
Laying of Hands
39MF War Travs
Hoto/35fcr spirit on switch.

No real NDE yet (fingers crossed). Up next, some levels (and maybe find an arachs).

Diablo II_ Resurrected 23_08_2022 22_38_37.png

Now I need to calculate my resists for Mephisto's Conviction and it is Uber time.

Also found this in The Pit, taking me to 5 trap skillers:
Code:
Entrapping Grand Charm of Quality 
Grand Charm 
Required Level: 42 
Fingerprint: 0x9c801ade 
Item Level: 88 
Version: Resurrected 
+1 to Trap Skills (Assassin Only) 
+2 to Maximum Damage

@Nona Uber Diablo is done, SoJ no.1 went straight to Charsi :)
 
Quick update of LK runs 3000 to 3500 with my UT99er Java called Fiona:

Pros:

5th Java Skiller
Took me only two weeks!
2x Mals from corpse / normal chest

Cons:

Only one Um+ from super chests: Ist

So after 3.5 k runs "only" two Surs and 0 Bers from super chests. Let's hope that this will change. My goal is do to 500 each upcoming month, hitting 5.5 k at the end of the year.

Happy running everyone!

Assassin Torch 24_08_2022 15_44_58.png

Organ Set 1: Barbarian 18/17RA
Organ Set 2: Paladin 12/13RA
Organ Set 3: Game crash, nada.
Organ Set 4: Assassin 17/11RA
Organ Set 5: Amazon 16/12RA
Organ Set 6: Amazon 10/15RA
Organ Set 7:
Organ Set 8: Druid 17/13RA
Organ Set 9: Barbarian 11/10RA
Organ Set 10: Druid 12/15RA

I'm more interested in the +Skills and Stats on this character than resists, so I'm not too bothered about the resists roll.

Setup:
Kira's for Meph first (58% CB), then swapping to Guillaumes (93%CB)
Enigma as I wanted to try it without respec
Sanctuary Troll's Nest (70% RA :cool:)
Astreon's (33% CB and slow)
Mara's, 2x Ravenfrost (but will add some mana leech in here next time)
T-Gods
Upped Goblin Toe (haven't found Gores yet)
Dracul's
Spirit & CtA on switch + Lifetap wand
6x Steel GCs, 2x Shimmering GCs
Steel & Resist SCs, Annihilus

Edit: Updated the post with six more runs.
I found I didn't need the lifetap wand, with the speed of Dragon Talon, LifeTap procs quickly enough. The remaining six sets of organs will wait for another time, or maybe another character.

Oh yeah, Full Rejuv stock is now down to five :D

Nice! Tempting me back towards doing some key runs with my hardcore barb. Lilith is scary, though.
How much life did you have after battle orders?
 
Congrats @maxicek!

The D2R options are quite interesting and oh so different from D2L approach. I think the XP boost from Anni is actually the most significant difference, compared to time sunk into farming the torch, with +skills and other stats quite nice indeed. But I've never done those quests, so I'm just speculating in context of 99er journey.
 
Love seeing these Annis and Torches! Ubers can be scary, even with top shelf gear. Congrats, guys! I admire the grind you’re committed to.
