The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, Revenge of the 99ers

I have made a mistake.

But before we get to that, allow me to spew some info. Gnosis, for those of you who weren't aware from the previous IFT, has finished his tenure in LK! He has made his enigma in a beautiful DS base

Perfect +defense on a high base defence of 465. Not that I care about it, but it's something. Additionally, he's sitting at 2 ele gcs. He can also now wear the great spirit monarch he rolled way back, and equipped the lawbringer he made. He can equip both SoJs without losing a casting frame for now while holding lawbringer. By the time he needs to drop a SoJ for fcr, I foresee him dropping the lawbringer in favor of HoTo or spirit to run different areas, so it's no big deal. Right now, he's sitting on the sidelines, but he has most recently been seen running /p8 Vizier/De Seis runs to fair effect.

Now I've more recently picked up Ayura again (whom I had left a little short of 93 before I stopped playing for a while). (Also I dinged). More pindle, more easy EXP. Found a handful of items in the meantime, the ones I'm most excited about were:

The flying knife displays black, which looks pretty cool alongside my blood red mainhand knives, but it would look perhaps even cooler alongside a mainhand warshrike should I ever find a set. Currently using the winged axes because decent damage and ML. I get to use a high LL/AR blood craft instead of my dual leech blood craft ring because of it. But I like to hold on a couple pieces of jewelry and throwing pieces at any given time to maintain some level of flexibility.

Now all of that wasn't the mistake, clearly. The mistake was muling off some certain items that I reflected on during my drive home from work this morning:

Now you may ask me: "Hey Zen, why would that be a problem? Those items aren't that great." Well, I'm looking at end-game. And end-game for this tournament will typically be one of three things: Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak. And when you think about which among those it makes sense to run, you're down to two options, because Baal runs involve waves. Those waves will eat up my stacks, and I don't like repairing more than once per run. Diablo is an option, but I don't believe that ranged physical attacks make particularly good boss killers in general (read: modern era Bowazons). A couple of things with diablo make are going to make him a headache to run for EXP. His health at /p7 is fairly high, and CB doesn't scale with player settings. On top of that, no leech, which is a real sucker. so I'm left with Nihlathak, who I'm getting practice runs on right now just to test the water. And my preliminary results indicate that with some gear optimization, he will the prime candidate for achieving that coveted 99. What gear optimization am I looking for then? Well, it's kinda clichéd, but Warshrike and Lacerator. Both for their unique effects. Piercing will let me clear a path more quickly, as will that high ctc amp. What I will be losing in raw damage I can make up for in finding more and better max damage charms along the way, but moreover having the higher output of damage against multiple enemies in a straight line (curse his meat shields).

Now that I've veered significantly off the path I set for myself, let's circle back around. Why are those items listed above some of the things I want most? Let's start with the Kraken Shell. I have the runes for CoH. The reasons I didn't make it yet are as follows: Not gonna unsocket the fort I made earlier, especially since it's in a plain DS, but also especially because it cost me a Lo to make... The other reason is I didn't know I wanted to make a CoH. Ebugging isn't the most important thing to me, because I don't value defense all too highly. But I still like to roll ebugged armors. Then when I didn't have a plan for it, I muled it off to open up that valuable stash space. But it wasn't until this morning that I realized I really want to make a CoH for this character. I suppose I can explain that, too. I will want CoH mostly for the damage, resistances, and LL (I'll need that last one). Those will make up for the loss of Reaper's. Why lose to the Reaper's? To make way for the Crescent Moon, of course! Well, actually because the biggest benefit it provides is decrep. I won't need decrep if my amp is constantly going off. So what the best weapon to assist me if I don't need him carrying Reaper's? I thought about the humble Crescent Moon, and its ctc Static Field. That AoE is probably the biggest benefit I can get from him, aside from carrying delirium as well for the ctc confuse on all things not being peppered by my throwing weapons.

It's not the end of the world, let's call it an opportunity for improvement: Replace the above-mentioned Ogre Axe with a superior base (threshers are one frame faster on standard attacks, no change in FPA on jab at this level of ias. Cryptic Axes are one frame slower on jab, two frames on standard attack. So I'll be looking for Ogre Axe or GP on the new one, but with some ED), and the other improvement could be in armor defense, I guess... It was a low roll on the base defense of the Kraken Shell to begin with. Not that it particularly matters to me :/ ...not too much on the bright side of this revelation, all said.

A few stipulations to what I've written above: I stashed the CM long ago, after having found the Reaper's in the first place, so it was unlikely that I would have found myself reaching this potential gear setup before that time. And until I really make up my mind on it, at least I have the stash space to play around with. After all, these aren't the first items I've regretted muling off of this guy. I'm serious, playing without an extended stash is no joke, lol. That, and this is all contingent on me finding Warshrike/Lacerator... *seething*

TL;DR: I want to equip the simpleton with CM/CoH/Deli while I wield Warshrike/Lacerator. Call them long term goals.

...or I could take my chances with a faith rogue merc and skip the static field.... or switch up his armor and go even more along the unbeaten path... Oh, options, options....

Oh goodness, if I go for maximum rate of static and keep the safety of deli, I could potentially ditch the simpleton's LL entirely and pick up something like treachery. So long as he doesn't die during the runs.

...Okay, new bright side: think of more options before deciding for sure what to go for, or maybe he test some things out on my old pat'd throwbarb before I put serious effort into a single gear set for Ayura

And a special farewell to Ayura having the oldest date in the active runners column!
(Should I order myself by EXP in my current level group, or should I put myself lowest because I'm most recent for my level group? My guess is order by EXP for future reference, but what I've done is good for now?)

Gwynt is in normal act IV, which means that he has out-survived his predecessor. Success!

 

Gogogo @ffs !!! Good job everyone else! I may as well join the train of people who have picked their char back up. I've been plucking away whenever I need to break up the RFL monotony.

The Pindling begins.

Klaus is running him on /p5 for a couple reasons. It keeps the runs safer, and Pindle has a natively high FR which makes him just painful to kill on /p8. The process is quite easy; cast minions, tele in, lay down a Fissure and start Firestorming Pindle. Rinse and repeat.

As everyone knows, Pindle runs aren't exactly exciting so there isn't a ton to report from this latest session. His minions have however been quite generous with elite polearms. Nothing ethereal yet, and mostly CV/GPA instead of the favourable Thresher family, but beggars can't be choosers (Unless you're @PhineasB of course ).

By the time he hit 84 Klaus had amassed 6 suitable polearms and 3 Monarchs for re-rolling. No luck on the polearms, but his 3rd roll on the Monarchs got him 4 sockets, awesome! He promptly made himself a Spirit. Brutal roll, but it doesn't matetr at all for him right now. He took this chance to head back to NM and switch out his merc for a Might merc since his current map is disposable, and got back to running.

Level 86 found him an Andy's Visage, which the new helper appreciated quite a bit.

Level 87 arrived, and with it another 3 polearms to roll. Klaus figured it was time to try it out since the Andy's he just found put the merc at enough strength to use a CV. On the last roll, low and behold, 4 sockets! Finally an Insight upgrade for the merc, which helps the run speed a bunch, as well as his general survivability.



That's where he sits now, still hoping for a Thresher/GThresher for a future Infinity, but feeling pretty good for now.


Other finds:
- P&B skiller (4str)
- 6-socket Berserker Axe (not useful, but still fun to see)
- Spectral Shard
- Trangs belt (currently using it)
- Ormus Robes (Lightning)

As for me, i finally have runes for so much needed Infinity...But i've decided to wait a little bit longer, as i dont want to waste every single rune VEX+ (or almost, VEX and GUL could be probably highest after this session)....I really want to keep only LO i've found for mercs Fortitude, also third reroll of CtA would be nice...All in all, its LK time once again

Finds:








Also Pindle and his minions has been generous








Only missing parts from Tals set are helmet and Orb...Funny

 

That has to be the first time in history, RIP. Those two tend to drop fairly reliably. For me the amulet is actually the hardest one to find.

 

I once found tals amulet during the first day of ladder. It dropped from normal mephisto. On a sorceress, no less. Lol

 

Well, i actually have two Tals ammys in Kairas stashes...First one dropped in LK NM i believe, second is from gamble Pretty easy to get this useless amulet (unless You are sorc, though )...Overall, i've found certainly 10+ Full Tals sets, even finished FO/FB around it long, long LONG time ago

Edit: The reason for not having Tals mask and Orb is pretty simple...Only areas i've visited more then once were NM LK, Hell LK, Pindleskin and Eldritch (Hell)...In other words, no Mephisto...I don't want to run this guy enymore, too many runs in the past (dozens of thousands i believe)

 

So, after some meph runs, highlights are Stormshield, arach and wizzy!






https://www.twitch.tv/videos/255072738 <-dropvideo of arach if interested

Funny to find storm and arach before shako and viper^^

So her current gear is: (just respecced her, went for 850 life rest dex which is 55% block atm)
Tarnhelm/lore, +1 20 str 18 allres amu, Wizzy, Stealth, Stormshield, Cgs 35/mages, nagel26/dwarf, SoJ, arach, Trecks 15 15

€ alibaba and shael eth shield on switch

I will go on with som mephisto, which is fine with 63 fc, but currently i dont have an alternative armor for stealth.

ah, merc (which i dont use for mephruns atm) eq is: Talmask (got andy in stash as well), shaft, aricos +4

@Bewitch could consider Smoke if you need resists, otherwise I suppose any 4 P Topaz Armor if you just want more MF.

 

Pretty funny, today i went for a few p3 AT runs, just to get a random 4 sox armor and Topases (never kept them cause no space^^)

So, the plan was just get 4 flawless, then search 4 shines to make em perfect. i found a random 4 sox wyrm pretty fast and then i found a Ist and a Ohm rune haha




dropvid: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/255465115

It actually took me much longer to get the 4 gems then haha

Eq is the same i guess, just that new armor and maybe one or another charm. Mephisto gave me nothin today

@Bewitch nice to see the good drops continue for itsreal!

Minor pun -- it's getting super real for HelpYourself. After pushing quite hard since last weekend, she's hit a major milestone (her last, hopefully) and reached 3.5b XP:



Can't deny I'm getting a bit nervous.

She has dropped War Travelers along with some FR/MF SCs and swapped in Aldur's and more lifers, putting her at ~2460 life after BO. Doesn't make much of a difference really, but it calms my mind a little bit in this phase. But despite going down to just ~65 MF, drops have continued to be nice, including more HRs as well as two grailers for her:

Spoiler

First grailer (she also found the shield before, but is missing the caddy)


Second grailer, as well as overall eth grailer for me. This is what I'll beat @Grape as Zod God with.


Nice rune drops:





NWV #6 (rolled low at 8% CSD)


+4/-3 Cold facet (9th facet for her)




Other drops of note included 3rd Arreat's Face, 10th (!) Cerebus' Bite, Pul, Stormshield and Reaper's Toll (non-eth).

20m to go! Let's see how much time I'll find tomorrow. Until it's done, kindly include her well-being in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Is she HC? Nice drops everybody!

I'm having a dumbass moment and can't remember how to move the red buttons for new stats/skills to the mini bar, it's doing my head in

 

@Kitteh SC but I think he’s worried about losing XP at 98, that’s a lot of time and it hurts your motivation.

 

@ffs very nice progress lately! Take care. And that efficiency of yours is just out of this world. I haven't touch my own 99er lately, seeing those runs almost make me want to re-spec to lighting for the last stretch... but let's keep it this way.

Now go up that armor and see if it's worth a Zod

 

I died at 98, I barely broke any furniture. You got this!

 

Go go @ffs! So close. I'm looking forward HelpYourself's safe completion

 

If he doesn’t slow down he might pass the finish line and not notice.

 

Sorry about the delay guys, stupid social calls keeping me from the important things.

It's done!

Matriarch HelpYourself and Fazel the Holy Freeze Desert Mercenary - Level 99
(Well, the moron is still a lvl 98 rookie actually.)



For the sake of good order, drops from the final 20m:

Spoiler

(5th Stone Crusher)

Other drops included P&B skiller (plain), another Pul and Hellcast, which was actually another last minute grailer for her.

What a relief to get this done! 99er write-up will follow shortly, been keeping track of her progress update posts so maybe I'll be able to put it together today even, otherwise tomorrow. But now we're both tired and exhausted after that final Herculean effort of ~95m XP in less than 10 days, so I'm going to have a well-deserved beer in the sunset first.

Thanks so much for the motivation and support everyone, it has been a blast and an amazing ride!

Absolutely brilliant, well done mate! 99er #6 for the tournament, fantastic stuff. I'm looking forward to the write-up

So, what build are you using for #2?

 

Excellent job @ffs -- very impressive to complete, period, but especially with such style and speed over the the last level. Looking forward much to the 99er write up!

I have been holding off on correcting some typos and fixing a couple links in the compendium until we had at least one more 99er to add. This is a good occasion!
