You got this

We managed to take down nm duriel. Picked up a pair of P hotspurs and replaced our crappy boots. Found a 2os bone helm and replaced beserkers with lore. Gambled a decent wep for mr merc and found an irathas helm for him to cap some res. After we kill meph its time to start some mf and hopefully pick up some useful items and switch to MB before nm D.

Congrats man! Totally hooked on this story will be checking in! Good luck

Managed to complete a3, mephy gave us nothing useful of course. Trav was a tough battle without being MB, chunking 50% life in 1 hit so there was a lot of kiting involved. We desperately need a decent shield to swap to MB, very scared of lord de seis 1 deagin us. Also need a huge merc wep upgrade to take on NM ancients. LVL 62 now, 2k cs dmg.

decided to risk walking to river wp before starting MF and that was a BIG mistake! Nearly got 1 shot multiple times from hephasto. Alas after a long fight of running in a circle and respawning merc we downed him and found a lum rune from forge -- time to start thinking about a smoke rw as we have both runes now.
