Bobo spawned for the first time sometime around November of 2019. Having only the most basic and mundane battling equipment and no memory of how he got there, Bobo started his journey from the Rogue Encampment to his city of origin, Harrogath. Through many adverse situations he persevered finally reaching his destination, where he learnt what his destiny was: to reach the highest status any mortal can wish for, that of a Hero; which he did today, on the 13th of December.
Through sheer willpower and perseverance he made his way to fame and is now waiting for Harrogath's officials to decide if he decerves a place as the 4th Ancient guarding the Arreat Summit. We'll see if that ever happens as we all know how tedious bureaucracy can be
On a serious note, I really don't remember in detail how the journey developed but, long story short: I kind of used speedrun strats untill Hell LK (lvl 80-ish) and there I farmed almost every rune I needed and then from there I respec'd to WW and started running Mephisto for the rest of the gear I'd need to kill Baal and his minions over and over again. By the time I reached Baal I was already lvl 90 from all the Mephisto/Council/Andariel/Others kills and the only thing left to do was to start the real grind. By the time I reached lvl98 I had hoped I'd drop a Ber rune to roll a Beast, respec to Conc and start Nihlarunning, but that didn't happen so I went back to LK to farm some more. The Nihla thing doesn't need much of a description, but I had never done it before, so I had at least that going for me haha.
Extra info I have been remembering: In the 8 levels I spent visiting Baal I died 5 or 6 times, once per level for the first 5 or 6 levels and during the Nihla grind I died only once, about two ticks into the level and I didn't recover my body. Thankfully that never happened again. Also between those two visits to LK I had to do during this project I spent over a month just opening chests, which led me to find the gear you'll see below.
Last runs:
What happens next? I'll craft some stuff with everything I've found, gamble some things with all the gold I collected and then I'll start rolling for AT maps to turn him into a non-Pits MF barbarian. I don't know how that will go, but that's what I've wanted to turn Bobo into since I started this challenge
Acknowledgments: I want to convey my gratitude to everyone who followed this little project, specialy @Luhkoh , @Bewitch , @ResTTe and Glenn who inspired me to join the SPF and also some people outside the forums who also gave me lots of support like hellojoe, unsullied13 and Jymnasium. Love you all!
I don't want to make this any longer. If I think of anything else I'll edit this opening post.

I'm not going to post a million images, but I'll discribe some of the most eventful drops this character left me:
- x2 /p1 Cham runes (Cows and Throne... emphasis on /p1 haha)

- Some TC3s, Gul, x3 Ohm, Sur, x2 Jah (Travincal)
- Lots of TC3s, Schaefer's, Azurewrath, 3/20 Light dmg Eschuta's, Eth Darkforce Spawn and some other non important TC87 (Baal and waves)
- Some TC3s, Stormlash, Ghostflame, Wisp, Metalgrid, 3/20 Fire dmg Eschuta's, Eth Steel Carapache, Nat's Claw, Gul, Vex, Ohm, Jah (Nihlathak)

What happens next? I'll craft some stuff with everything I've found, gamble some things with all the gold I collected and then I'll start rolling for AT maps to turn him into a non-Pits MF barbarian. I don't know how that will go, but that's what I've wanted to turn Bobo into since I started this challenge

Love you all!
I don't want to make this any longer. If I think of anything else I'll edit this opening post.
Thank you very much for reading!!!
