Sweet sweet redemption! Found another haunted cemetery that I spawned by myself. A pally snuck in, but only stayed for the first and easiest boss. So I'm counting this as a solo victory. In the final loot pic I accidentally drank the Vitality pot that dropped before screenshotting. You can see by the mini map layout and the portal back to the realm that it was the final room.

Be sure to look at my inventory in the action shot compared to the inventory in my final shot. Look at how many potions I used. If the fight went on much longer I would have had to nexus again. Everything in this instance up until the final fight is pretty boring, but the last boss is really enjoyable for me, especially without having that great of a bow. I wish I could have taken a second screenshot of the amount of little mobs that were adding up. I could kill them, but not fast enough to keep them in control. Fun fun :bouncy:

So I played for a tremendous amount of time for not a lot of loot, but even still this was the most fun I've had in this game in a long time. Trying to figure out the Haunted Cemetery for the first time was such a blast. Really looking forward to the other dungeons that I've never done before. If anyone has tips for hunting Davy Jones Locker and Candyland feel free to share them, I'd like to do those next and never have before. Maybe I'll get Manor done with too, but I know how that place works already.

I also capped my wisdom while not exploring to get 4/8! Unlike most of the potion dungeons like snake pit, spirit world, etc., I'll still continue to run UDL as much as possible in hopes for the Doom Bow dropping. I've also done a couple Ocean Trench runs but I have yet to see a drop in that place.

Knocked out another solo dungeon unexpectedly. This time was one of my all time favorites, Ocean Trench. It started off as a three man adventure, but the other two skipped out halfway through(shown in my first picture). Since I solod half of the exploration part and 100% of the boss, Im counting it. Especially since Hermits arent all that common to find alone and manage to kill before someone joins in. Even less common without having top gear to burn it down fast.

Check out my second picture - I was already fighting the boss for a bit then noticed what kind of damage I was doing. Thought it was pretty funny :) So because of the pathetically low damage the fight took something like 15 minutes lol. Actually I really enjoy the longer boss fights. Its pretty lame when a group of 10+ demolish a boss in 3 seconds. Not just in lack of loot, but lack of fun dodging the bosses attacks and whatnot. Unlike the long battle with the Haunted Cemetery boss, I was never really at risk of dying here. Thessal and me go way back and she dont want to hurt me.

And oh ya check that loot! Not exactly a white bag but still pretty damn excited to find the first item on my list! :D

Maybe. I've done 40+ dungeons today tho and havent seen a white bag myself. But whether or not the new droprate stays or they revert it back to what it was, I'll be spending my time mostly in UDL/OT until I get one of the bows. I dont think I can tomb without one of them. Good thing I like UDL :)

Full update coming later today.

Well past due for a full update, so here it is :) The delay was due to me staying up too late the other night trying to farm my ass off with the new drop rates. So keep in mind the time played is over a two day period.

So ya, about that new drop rate. Let me explain how it feels to me. Think back to Diablo 2 ladder resets. You and your buddies all starting fresh, excited to go out and find some good items. Couple days go by and your friends are like, "Another Shako! Woo! And that was after finding a Stormshield, Occy, Vex rune, 2x pally combat charms, and 3 shakos the day before! Even got an Ist off of my forge. Haha this is awesome!" And they ask you, "Hey man what did you find?" With a low voice you reply, "Manald ring, 4 socket crystal sword, martial arts grand charm, low resistance vipermagi, a few pgems, and my hell forge dropped Lum." Thats how I've been feeling the past two days lol. I know Im not the only one who isnt seeing white bags, but seems as though a lot of people are finding them back to back.

Buuuuut enough bitching, Im still making good progress. Like I posted before I got my first item on my ultimate wish list, so thats pretty cool. I also hit 5/8 fairly easily now that godlands is dropping attack again. Im closing in on maxing Vitality, but Im trying not to spend time doing anything but UDL/OT for now. Until I get one of the UT bows, I cant step foot in another tomb. Not only is it a pain to do that place with a tripple shot bow because of it possibly messing up the fight, but my little gbow, with all its might, wont be able to do enough damage to get a life pot anyway.

I was trying to skip Oryx runs, even choosing to UDL over known WC servers, but I couldnt help doing a few. The last thing I did in the game before logging off and editing my picture was a WC. Check out the sweet loot below :) Was tempted to keep playing, thinking my luck had finally turned around, but its way too late already. I'll have to try my luck with getting a doom bow tomorrow.

Oh ya, compare the amount of fame I had last full update to this one. I definitely wasnt slacking.

Nothing to update tonight really. Put another three hours into all UDL and nothing to show but wisdom. I've gotten so much wisdom I just rolled a knight to clear room in my vault. In fact I've now fully maxed four characters wisdom and still have plenty of wisdom to spare. I could max a fifth if I had another character slot.

My fame is still climbing along nicely at least. Somewhere in the 1500+ range. More UDL to come tomorrow. As soon as I get the doom bow I'll start server hopping for Hermits and also go back to doing other places just for fun like haunted cemetery, abyss, etc.
