CryoMixalot is now level 60 at the Travicanl WP in A3 NM, with a score of
-60 + 32 (16 NM quests) + 26 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 91

Not much to report- I haven't been able to play much, and when I have, I have just been levelling and looking for gear. It's hard to call it MFing when I'm really just looking for plain/socketed items mostly, and any kind of ethereal helm. Currently, CryoMixalot is hatless and one idea I'm thinking about if I can find a two-socket ethereal helm is making Lore and using on CryoMixalot until it is almost (but not entirely) worn out and then move it to the merc. I found a couple more Sol runes and made some bad blood craft rings, and am hanging onto one last Sol in hopes of getting a divine scepter or knout to make a Honor in, but no luck yet. I've gambled a ton of belts (at least two full allocations) and don't have much to show for it.

What about switch? I'll assume you also want claw/shield on switch:

Roll: 6,3,7,8,9,10,1,4,2,5

which gives:

low-quality gloves
ethereal boots (bump amulet to end)
normal belt
superior claw
magic shield
socketed helm (bump ring)
rare ring
set armor
unique amulet
crafted ring

For switch: 2,6 gives
ethereal claw
socketed shield.

Good luck!

Heh, we can still join? Then sign me up :grin:

Necro Wand/Shield and Wand/Shield Please

Necro Wand/Shield and Wand/Shield Please

OK, here you go: 4,1,9,7,10,3,6,8,5,2 gives:

low quality helm
ethereal wand (bump ring)
normal boots
superior shield
magic amulet
socketed armor (bump gloves,belt)
rare ring
set ring
unique gloves
crafted belt

Switch 1,10:
low quality wand
crafted shield

Good luck!

(remember, you can use a low-quality normal item until you find/create a proper one, so that means you can used a cracked heavy belt, for example, until you are able to craft a belt.)

edit: purple beat me to it.

Thanks Purple and SuperSavage

(Even though purple beat you thanks for the effort!)

EDIT: Oh and can I get a wild card for my wand?

I'm not sure what the policy is- you've already got a roll and from the tourney rules post example, it sounds like you needed to ask for a wild card before the roll. Let's see what Skunkbelly thinks about this! I don't think anyone has opted for a wildcard item yet, so I don't know how that works.

That was short-lived. Lvl 9 with 2 quests complete and 3 way points so my score is -2 =D

CryoMixalot is now level 61 at the River of Flame WP in A4 NM, with a score of
-61 + 38 (19 NM quests) + 30 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 100

I finally made a 5-socket knout for Honor after cubing to get two one-socket knouts, ugh. That is a much better weapon and so I took on the council again and worked my way through the Durance. Those dolls hurt, so there was a lot of stepping back and letting my merc deal with dolls, even on players 1. Durance 3 was tricky- lots of Blood Lord boss packs and though there was a conveniently- located Lightning Resist shrine, still Bremm Sparkfist was tricky. Careful work through there lead to Mephisto, who took a while, lots of thawing and antidote potions and red potions, but no serious jeopardy there and no fat purples needed. He dropped a bunch of rares, nothing remotely useful. I did find another 5-socket knout in Durance 2- long after I'd cubed my previous efforts.

Act 4 is going OK, on players 1 for now. No problems with Izzy but there were Burning Souls there, so that was kind of slow going. Seems the whole lightning world is ganging up on CryoMixalot - there were lots of Damned in the City of the Damned. No problems on the River of Flame- got a Sol from the Forge. If I can find a two-socket ethereal helm, that can make Lore for me for a while and eventually for the merc. I'll probably level a while along the River before going on. I haven't seen a two-socket ethereal helm in ages and have been hatless for a long time, not finding any ethereal helms. Starting out in Act 1 normal, I found a bunch of two-socket ethereal caps and I haven't seen nearly so many ever since, so I'm wondering if it would be worth going back to find one there.

Janitor has reached the Outer Cloister at level 18, upgrading helm from low quality to ethereal. I will update the table later with infomation.

SuperSavage · Apr 16, 2006

Wyclef has moved forward and cleared the jungle/killed mephisto.

Used the same rare morning star all of act III, I tred to gamble something better but it was no use. Those shamans really hurt me with 0%FR but I had decent life with oak sage so it wasn't too bad. Fire claws are at level 8 and I now have a grizzly once I reached level 30 instead of the wolves. He is a much better tank and the stun attack really helps sometimes. Managed to find the good ol cathans seal ring in once of the kurast locations so the 6%LL always helps but I'm not sure if it is because of my fire dmg isntead of physical? All played on /p 8 with a couple problems with the blood lord's fire meteors with no fire resist in the ruined temple and durance level 3. Mephisto dropped nothing of use so now I must bring up my really low resists against diablo or he will toast me for dinner.:hide: Need to find a weapon to imbue in act V because my weapon doesn't do that good of damage with only a normal attack speed. Saved a 3 socket kite shield from act III so I can use the three runes on the first act V quest to make a ancients pledge and start using my main weapon/shield slot once I perk up my weapon more.

The diablo fight was nothing like I expected.

Once I reached level 32 in river of flame I turned it to players 1 and made it to the chaos sanctuary with no problems. Hellforge dropped me a Thul rune, found a tal and amn rune earlier in act IV and I really wanted a shael rune from forge but doesn't everyone! The main problem starting out with fightning diablo was that I had 0%FR and only 21%LR. Lots of life helped me, the pink lightning almost killed me twice and somehow my merc didn't die once. Kept spamming bears after the pink lightnings on other side of merc so it wouldn't kill him and recasted oak sage over and over when it died. I thought I was gonna do all the damage but I did very few and played a distraction instead while my merc and bear took care of him. Did stop and attack here and there between lightning attacks which almost cost me my life but thats the HC spirit! What was really cool is that he dropped me and my merc new weapons(merc weapon is very nice especially):

I just used my imbue on a gladius I found earlier in the act that I used most of the act which upgraded my attack speed one frame with a little more damage from the morning star. The hatchet gives me another frame added onto that with the 20%IAS maybe even two from the gladius??? Really like the weapon because the speed is very nice for fireclaws(all my dmg) and amplify damage just tops it off perfect.

CryoMixalot is now level 64 at the Harrogath WP in A5 NM, with a score of
-64 + 40 (20 NM quests) + 31 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 100

Whew! I levelled for a while before taking on the Chaos Sanctuary at players 1. I found a 3 socket Royal Shield with +30 builtin resists, so that made a nice Ancient's Pledge and was a nice find- finally my lightning resists are maxed in NM. I have a great deal of respect for the CS with a primarily melee character, so I set aside a big block of time for CS and Diablo. I was worried about IM of course so I used some rare throwing knives and the Strength normal +3 HF scepter and was painstakingly careful. I had about 10 merc deaths from IM and many many TPs to let Jamella uncurse us. The seals weren't bad- Grand Vizier was no problem, for de Seis and Infector I used the standard take-a-TP-back-to-town-and-walk-from-the-WP method, in hopes of picking them off, and that was fine. It took a while to split up Infector's pack but then they were no problem. No problems with cold immunity- plenty of physical damage from the merc and my crushing blow. I got an experience shrine- it spawned right next to the star, and for all the times I was really grateful for that, this time I was more worried about just making it through the battle alive, or running away if it looked hopeless. But actually it went well, just my merc and I whacking away, drinking potions, and then: a bunch of useless rares, Soul Harvest, Hsarus' Fist and an El rune. The battle took a while, but not long enough for the experience shrine to wear off. In any case, I am happy to have made it this far with such a low- life character in Hardcore. Hopefully, I can keep my guard up through Act 5 and of course the Ancients are looming large there. First things first, though!

Equipment update:
Ethereal helm: none, haven't found an ethereal one in a while
Rare amulet, perked down from Set: +1 pally 12 STR 36LR 33PR MDR2, gambled a while ago
Socketed weapon, multi-perked from normal: Honor knout
Socketed armor, perked from rare: Spirit Forge, still two empty sockets
Socketed shield: Ancient's Pledge Royal Shield
Low-quality gloves: low quality sharkskin
Crafted ring: crafted safety from a while ago, 3min 96AR 3%LL +2 vit +2 life DR4 MDR2
Rare belt, perked from superior: rare mesh belt, +17%ED, 6CR 10LR, attacker takes 4, self-repair
Unique ring: 4% Manald
Rare boots, perked from magic: rare heavy boots, CtC Nova, 33CR 20LR 10PR, half freeze duration, self-repair
Rare switch weapon: rare Divine Scepter, upgraded from normal imbue, 244%ED +3-4, +85AR +3 Fanat, +3 Conv
Low-quality switch shield: CryoMixalot's Low Quality Rondache, socketed with 4 PDiamonds

I think it's time to gamble some more belts, but I haven't had any luck on that front despite spending piles of gold on that. My MF is non-existent so I hardly see any rares drop, so gambling is my ticket to decent equipment there. I don't think I'm likely to find a useful unique ring, so one idea is to continue crafting Blood rings and if I get a decent one, use an upcoming perk to move that to crafted. I don't need mana leech or recovery with 90-something energy so we'll see what mods I can get.

CryoMixalot is now level 68 at the Worldstone Keep WP in A5 NM, with a score of
-68 + 44 (23 NM quests) + 38 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 109

Act 5 has been going well and the Ancients have fallen! Most of Act 5 went pretty well- at players 3 or 5 in the easier parts, and lots of player setting 1 at the hard parts. I scared myself pretty well with some Extra Fast Spectral Hit Blood Lords that ate my merc in an instant, and then pretty much stuck at players 1 after that. Earlier efforts to play at players 8 did not go well and that was tediously slow, particularly with ranged attackers, so I've resigned myself to basically playing at players 1 mostly from here on out, except when expressly leveling. Nihilathak was not a problem- lured the monsters out of range mostly, and that let me use a perk: unique ring (had been a Manald) to a crafted one, since I finally had gotten a reasonable Blood Craft from a Sol: +44 AR 1-19 lightning damage 8% LL +4 STR +12 life, which was a big improvement over the last 3 or so Sols used to craft blood rings. The previous two crafts had 1% LL and I was beginning to think that a Sol would suit an ethereal 2-socket disposa-helm for Lore much better than yet another weak craft, but that one turned out OK.

The Ancients were taken on at level 67 and I did the whole preparation, spreading potions around, squeezing every good charm into inventory I had, and actually they went down ok. Both my merc and I were able to tank them fine and it was only about a four minute battle, never being in any real jeopardy. Malik was fire enchanted and I stepped way out of the way for that death but it didn't even damage my merc.

In the WSK, I found Laying of Hands and drooled at how much better those would be to wear than my current "Low Quality Sharkskin gloves" but that is a world of perks away. I'm thinking if I find some good ethereal gloves I can use a perk on those. I have continued a long drought of finding any ethereal headgear, so I've been in hatless mode for a long time. Other than helm and gloves, my items are all in good shape perk-wise so I'll have to think about what comes next.

CryoMixalot is now level 70 at the Rogue Camp WP in A1 Hell, with a score of
-70 + 48 (24 NM quests) + 39 (NM WP) +1 (H WP) + 93 (normal) = 111

The Worldstone was nice to me and dropped an ethereal casque- it had been several acts since CryoMixalot was wearing anything on his head, so that was a nice plus. I am still hoping for a two-socket ethereal helm but at this point, any helm at all is an improvement. I backed off the WSK3 and the Throne a few times after running into Oblivion Knights but finally got down to the throne, cleared the whole level anticipating that I may need some space to thin out the packs. No problems with the first three waves, and the Venom Lords and Minions were easy to separate out and take out in ones and twos, so then onto Baal. Baal took a while, just whacking away, no serious concern really. It was only one recast of my level 4 Holy Shield, so that means it wasn't too long. He dropped a bunch of poor rares, nothing useful for CryoMixalot or his merc. I'm happy to have made Conquerer with the low-life and equipment restrictions!

Now I need to strategize about quest rewards- the imbue and socketing quests, and kill the Cow King. I am contemplating imbueing either an ethereal circlet, if I can find one, which could be useful for either me or the merc. The chance of getting self-repair is quite small, but that would of course be the most useful, assuming the other mods are desirable for CryoMixalot. I'm worried I'd get something like +2 Druid skills with mana leech. Other possibilities for the imbue are another scepter- it would be good to get good IAS, +skills or ITD on a war or divine scepter, or a belt imbue, since despite my investment of millions now, I have not gambled any really good belts yet. I also expect the Cow King perk coming up and need to figure out what to do with that, my current equipment is:

Ethereal helm: grey ethereal casque, def 100, durability 12 of 13 at the moment
Rare amulet, perked down from Set: +1 pally 12 STR 36LR 33PR MDR2, gambled a while ago
Socketed weapon, multi-perked from normal: Honor knout
Socketed armor, perked from rare: Spirit Forge, still two empty sockets
Socketed shield: Ancient's Pledge Royal Shield
Low-quality gloves: low quality sharkskin
Crafted ring: crafted safety from a while ago, 3min 96AR 3%LL +2 vit +2 life DR4 MDR2
Crafted ring, perked from unique: blood craft, +44 AR 1-19 lightning damage 8% LL +4 STR +12 life
Rare belt, perked from superior: rare mesh belt, +17%ED, 6CR 10LR, attacker takes 4, self-repair
Rare boots, perked from magic: rare heavy boots, CtC Nova, 33CR 20LR 10PR, half freeze duration, self-repair
Rare switch weapon: rare Divine Scepter, upgraded from normal imbue, 244%ED +3-4dmg, +85AR +3 Fanat, +3 Conv
Low-quality switch shield: CryoMixalot's Low Quality Rondache, socketed with 4 PDiamonds

The gloves and the helm are the obvious weak points. It will be a couple of perks before the gloves get useful (unless I find some decent ethereal ones, and I've been having a hard enough time with ethereal helms) Getting the gloves to magic would be 4 perks, which is a lot. There isn't really any difference in utility from low-quality to superior gloves, whereas for the helm, a superior 3-socket helm could be filled with useful things (but not runewords), and that is just two perks away from the current ethereal one. If I found good unique boots or belt, that would be two perks for either of those. Given that I have essentially no MF, the chance of getting such a useful unique is low, so that should be factored in.

I'm travelling and on a Mac laptop, so I haven't been able to use ATMA and not having a cache has been an annoyance as I am always juggling items. If I decide to go with ethereal gloves for the next perk, it will be a problem since I don't have the inventory space to keep spare gloves/helms with my rune, gem, and jewel collection, so I may wait until I'm back home and can use ATMA to carry on further.

CryoMixalot is now level 73 at the Rogue Camp WP in A1 Hell, with a score of
-73 + 48 (24 NM quests) + 39 (NM WP) +1 (H WP) + 93 (normal) = 108

My score dropped a bit, as I've just been leveling and looking for items, still in NM and not doing cows yet or taking any of my NM delayed quest rewards yet. I have a terrible map for doing laps on cows, with the portal right in the Cow King's fortress, so I've been levelling in WSK2, 3 and doing minions and Baal. I plan to reset the map before doing cows but I don't want to give up all my other NM maps yet. I found a (non-ethereal) socketed grim scythe for Strength for my merc weapon which was a nice upgrade, and not much else useful. I am hoping to find some ethereal gloves as a possible next perk, and also looking for an ethereal circlet to imbue, but no luck on either front despite checking every single possible helmet and glove drop. In the meantime, I've levelled to 73 and spent several fortunes gambling, getting a somewhat better belt along the way, a rare demonhide sash, +24% FHR +72%ED +38 life +18 mana +14%FR. I've gambled a fair amount of boots but haven't improved upon my old rare heavy boots with their good resists. And I found the unique ring Dwarf Star off of Eldritch! I had perked my ring away from unique to crafted (not expecting to see many unique rings) and now I have this. It would be nice to wear but not worth a perk, particularly since that would undo one of the perks I've already used and that would be depressing. But I'm still hanging onto it as who knows how I'll find things once I move to hell. If I find Raven Frost and don't get CBF from somewhere else, I'll really have to consider using a perk for that since it's scary being a popsicle in HC.
