You could always make it a split type of competition, every one starts at level 1 and has 1 week before the "farmathon" portion starts and then give a portion of the prize pool for first 1-3 players that complete hell baal. That way sorcs aren't farming P8 tunnels while everyone else is struggling through nightmare. Faster characters can race for the additional prize and slower characters still have a chance to get gear together before the farming portion starts.

This could be a good solution. I wonder what the point structure would look like?

Interesting indeed!

I dig something like this. Maybe 2 weeks to get chars up and 2 weeks of farmathon? Would help to have 2x weekends for leveling/progress

Just don’t overthink it

What do you think about this as a jump-off point, just to get the opinions rolling in. How would you change it?

Starting points
Sorceress: -30 points
Hammerdin: -15 points
Barbarian with find item: -10 points
Everything else starts at 0

Assassin and ele druids can both just walk into hell pits as well with no nm boss farming. Would think they would need a point drop as well.

Just an opinion based on getting as assassin into hell pits without much issue and zero nm farming. Also watched the lii bot get an ele druid to level 95 in hell pits in a week? Or was it less can’t remember


Definitely a good starting point though

This is definitely not a bad starting point at all and seems reasonable.




How do you recommend we handle Assassins and Ele Druids point wise?

Probably equal as barbs since they do have immunes to deal with. Both do have adequate double skills to deal with immunes just not as effective as Hammerdins

Barbs need more grinding just to be viable in hell too, so maybe they could start at zero points with find item just being a perk for choosing a char that is slow to get grinding. But I dunno haha, depends if you have LRW allowed or not I guess because barbs can get way more OP way more quickly with those enabled
