Whew! Now then... I am currently on Act IV NM, and I'm trying to do the entire game at /p8 if possible (Single Player). This is also my first character, so I lack wealth.
Concerning my own gear, MF is expendable. What needs to be replaced the most? The boots obviously aren't for questing, but I haven't found a fitting pair for there, considering that my resists generally haven't needed the boots (and the only good ones I get are resist boots). The gloves could use an upgrade too, along with both rings for sure. The rest, I'm not so sure of. What do the rest of you think? Oh, and i do have a plain white monarch that I plan on making a "Spirit" Shield, I just haven't gotten around to it yet, fyi. Been too lazy to go back to normal to use the socketable quest.
Concerning the mercenary, the main thing is the armor. Would it be worth upgrading the Rockfleece, or should I shop around for some nice elite merc armor?
I plan on trying to trade for some improvements, but it would have to be trades for Pgems (built up a good few so far), low runes (i have a lum, but otw only dol or below), or for what normal set/uniques I have (not that many). Not really interested in any more giveaways, btw (got my armor that way, and the pre-rhyme luna...would rather earn the rest of my gear myself)
Thanks in advance for any advice, and I should be around if I need to give any more info.
