Nado Time!!! Was a huge dmg boost. I shopped a 35 fire res wand since I had no wep to use



Cleaned out my stash. Was hoarding a lot of things I didnt need. The new helm wasnt really s/s worthy. Rare 2os pelt that I added Prub + PTop



Didn't even need to run Count for an Amn rune. Found this on quest kill

Starting NM means ISO 4os sword + 4os polearm.

I also need 2os pelt with at least +1 skill thats useful

4os sword tease. I actually considered it....



I figure Pit runs in Hell are helpful for bases etc. So why not NM? Ended up running 15+ since the drops seemed to be close to what I was looking for

First few of many Andy runs. This is where I currently stand.

Looking for a few items:
New boots
Chancies
Magefist
Vmagi
LL helm / armor for merc
2os helpful Lore Pelt. I made a lore in a useless pelt for an upgrade since I had extra runes, but want a better one.
2os shield for rhyme (found a Shael)

Somewhere I forgot to share my mercs mediocre craft blood helm. My images got all out of order so it was difficult posting all of this.

Excellent start bud, hope Pelt makes it to Guardian!

I was gonna say, yeah nigthmare Pits is a good place to run for 4os polearms, partizan is a particularly hard hitter if memory serves. Gratz on the upgrades.

What's Fissure etc damage like for normal? I'd love to try a fire + cold elemental druid but I have no idea how viable it would be later on, I heard Arctic Blast kicks out way less damage than the Lying Character Screen implies.

Anywho I'm rambling, best of luck & have fun!
