Extra Strong, Extra Fast. Decrepify it is of course. Cain reward was not good enough to use.

First eth-buggable armor dropped on the initial /players 8 tower clear.



Underwhelming rune drop



But a LUM came from the quest chest? Is that possible, or must I have just not noticed it already laying there?

Three sockets and a Treachery upgrade?



Nope.



Doing some /players 1 runs, trying to improve efficiency to see if it's worth continuing to do or better to move on.

Decided to move on and maybe come back later.

Wishing there was a place where someone as slimy as Bannon could get comfortable for a while. To the Pits! Hoping this goes well...





Successful corpse explosion spamming of a few grouped mobs.

Grief base for that hypothetical melee character with the Laying of Hands?



Then this soon after, not sure if it was the same run or the next 1-2. Stashing for a possible Call to Arms, if possible/helpful.

Also that flawed amethyst in the inventory above made this speed boost possible:

Did a few more /players 1 tower runs to get used to the Vigor aura in a way that is both safe and quicker. Best drop in 10-15 runs or so was a KO.



Moving ahead to the Barracks, this near perfect Ring Mail base dropped. Tossed it though, I still just like the style of Light Plate/Mage Plate better. Plus, who knows if Enigma is even realistic?



If you thought Bannon was going to behave differently the third go around and actually treat the blue collar working class well... you were wrong.

Bone Ash unsuccessfully defending the Catacombs.



Andariel quest time! Not too bad, so long as she's targeting skeletons instead of Mizan. Had to revive him once.

Unremarkable quest drop... but bugged for future repeats.



On to the sewers... easy Level 1 to 2 "shortcut" via the side entrance, then a lucky Level 2 to 3 map roll. Makes me think there won't be any luck left for the Maggot Lair or Arcane Sanctuary...

Took down Radament, settled down to read a book. Now time to move on again.



Monster shrine!



Thresher?!
