Not* so single player.

playing "single" player mode with my gf. we've done this before where she was a trap assassin and i was a werewolf druid, but i never tracked any progress. this time i am!
there no particular rules to this at all. ladder runewords are enabled. any in game strategies allowed, such as restats and everything. its not really for a purpose of challenge, but just for the experience of the game.
i am playing a zon, planning on going to strafe the whole time
she is playing a sorceress. atm going to build as frozen orb.
we found some cool items in our last run that we hung onto. i will leave it up to her if she wants to use them on her sorc or not. i personally wont be.
i will also do mf runs alot when she is not playing. so alot of these screenshots are going to be just me collecting items for the both of us.

i wont post every individual charm and item. but just the items i think are cool and noteworthy.

first step we only made it to cold plains..but i kept playing and started doing rakanishu and treehead runs.
finds so far are hsarus' buckler, cleglaw's small shield and artic quilted armor
the arctic fur being the only useful one so far. belt is usually pretty easy to find, so hopefully i get that for some early game stats.
im hoping for some deaths set, but arctic would be even cooler.

small note: we are progressing on /players 8 only. reruns n stuff are subject to whatever we feel like :P

ok 2nd time playing! we made it as far as countess and took a small break. i used that opportunity to do some countess runs. got lucky as the WP was ride beside the tower. made it super easy.
ended up getting 2x tal, 2x eth, 3x ith, 3x ral, 1xtir and maybe 1-2 other runes...all in about 5 runs. she was dropping 3 runs like every second time. pretty lucky.

i used the 3 iths to make a new bow!





after that we progressed our way through the rest of the act and found this gem along the way!
so far items being found are only good for me. i was hoping it would be strong for her to use...






we got to act 2 and i used this opportunity to make a stealth armor out of a breastplate that i forgot to SS, because i gave it to her to use.
secondly i made even a newer bow! i had to reset the vendors a few times before i found a 3 socket composite bow. fara was the only one who would sell it...and evne then she would only spawn one about every 3 resets...but it actually didnt take as long as i thought it was going to


the firedamage made for some easy Andariel runs. i wanted to run her until i found at least one item i really liked, but had to call it a day before that happened.
after 10-15 runs i found hsarus boots, hsaras buckler(again..), isenhart helm and unique large axe(axe of fechmar). none were useful so i didnt bother uploading :P
will probably do some more before we start act2.

armor - 27
gloves - 15
boots - 11

some early morning luck before work... 1 run.




i wonder how buff i can get with act1 alone...all for it to get outdated within a few acts? xD bloodfist will actually last me a long time, i think. as well as nagel rings ill be keeping and even biggens is probably going to take me into NM. so not all wasted efforts.
130% MF payin' off.

never had a use for this item before. put it on merc over a vicious scythe i had on him. less general damage, but its faster and the 100% against undead should be good for act 2.

found set belt but i wanted set light belt Dx
i used a drop calculator and says arctic belt has a 1/26 chance to drop with my mf....bad luck i guess
too bad im not a javazon or i could rock the full bonus set xD

on what i deemed to be my last run before i go do my stuff for today








MORE MF!
the bonus for the armor is just more defense..(making it like 116 now)

so 40 from new combo -27 from 3chipped gem ring mail gives me 13 more..not a huge buff, but the i get the +10 all resist and 40cold from belt. so i get to use some real items now rather than just raw MF xD
146% MF now. ill probably rock biggin's bonnet and bloodfist for act 2, tho. so ill be running it with 113MF. still pretty damn good, and ill be pretty buff, i think..

also realizing that biggins bonnet doesnt add very much damage due to my bow being all fire...might keep using MF hat in that case. (it buffs my merc alot more)

we got the cube! been saving my topaz's for this..




145% MF now? with BF equipped.
/e found some 19MF boots. so +8 more.
153%!

also we found an orb that gives +3 iceblast that she is using now. she is also rockin' full hsarus set with it. not that that is a sorc set by any means..but still kinda cool. the full set bonus gives 25light res and cannot be frozen. as well as the boots and belt are good individually.
