Noob Cannon :wub:





DeadReborn mentioned he's keeping a copy of all sets/uniques he finds for a sort of grail hunt. Inspired me to do the same! Near the start, it's hard to remember what I've kept, so I find myself running to town to stash some random Arcana's staff or something, only to see I already had it! Definitely digging the item hunt though, makes all of my finds feel valuable, even if they'll just get hoarded for the item collection. This one's not the easiest in the world to find, so I'm happy with it!





I mentioned a few posts back I had that lock-up again. This time was right by Tristram, with no shadow summoned. Took a screenshot, but nothing jumps out to me as to a trigger...
Error message is D2 exception: 4ne422, then when I hit enter on that one, it pops up "unrecoverable internal error 0467d253". So yeah, that's fun.

Hit Shenk+Eld before each cow run, guess that was a good call!

Cubeable base...





Cubing....





Schweet! Didn't screenshot the roll, but it was middle of the road or a little better. 15 med/average ed/4 crit. Definite boost for Pratham's damage and ego. Merc morale is critical for success!

Nice roll on that Eth base! :D And a few pretty sweet SCs too, NM cows are a great source for MFing imo. Very underestimated.

I've been getting an error too, by the way. Had two hours worth of A4 grinding done last night, it errored on me and I ragequit for the night.

Some more updates ahead!

Skiller in cows, but not for Assassins :(





Cows are feelin generous today, lots of potential ring upgrades!!





However that is not one of them...

(note me running around like a total goon, killing cows with my shadow prebuff swap on :rofl:

Kinda dropped the ball on screenshotting all of the stuff in my early grail quest. The normal stuff isn't worth it, and honestly the exceptional stuff probably mostly isn't either, but hey, I'm gonna try anyway.

Some other NM cow finds I didn't screenshot include: IK Helm, Riphook and the Set Cuirass





Ebugged this for future Treachery :wub:





An incredible charm I found, totally see why I screenshotted this :bonk:

LEM!!!! This is roughly cow run 10, so not really too much of a grind for it, especially considering the various charms and other runes I found, as well as a bunch of gems.





Without further ado:





Another grail exceptional unique

Good thing it's just for the grail collection ^_^





Time to head for hell. Did some gear comparisons to figure out Smoke vs Lionheart. Obviously Lionheart has more stats, but I also want to drop my Ancients Pledge for Rhyme. Determined that I can keep maxed resists (aside from poison) with Lionheart, so that's what I went with. (And as I move into hell, it'll be Fade as my primary of course!)





Den down. No 5os Phase Blades on my first try here, I looked out for them DeadReborn :P

Gear heading into hell. Would really like to upgrade all of the jewelry pieces. I'm rolling blood amulets (I like the life and FRW more than FCR on a caster ammy at this point), and just hoping for rings to drop at this point. Pretty happy with the rest of it though. Wouldn't mind upgrading Pratham's hat and insight base either, but I won't get too picky just yet.





And the stats at this point. Not pumping Dex for block, as I'd like to eventually transition to claw/claw, and I'm stingy with the respecs, especially since I already used the normal one to go fire to light.





And a random craft attempt, stashed for when I want the FRW to run something later!

Looking really sweet man, although I was in the market for a 3s PB ;) Can't make rift in PB, I was trying for Voice of Reason and a Gul ended up dropping for me before I found a 3s PB so I started hunting for 4s sceptors :P
Don't forget that trap laying speed is IAS and not FCR (just noted you mentioned FCR amus, pretty useless for a Sin unless you decide to go Eni IMO ^^)

Stay safe! :hug:

Nice progress here. Always love slaughtering cows. Something very nostalgic and satisfying about seeing droves of them get sliced down. :evil:
