Im not trying to full clear, just beat the game on P1.

Right now my goal is to run NM Meph for Razortail, Titans, and a good merc helm like Tal helm or a good Vgaze

vGaze... don't use that helm unless it is your only choice. Honestly, I can not even believe what I am going to suggest... you are better off using a Shako (ouch that hurt my aesthetics somewhat) once you find one... should not be hard if running NM Meph... or NM Chaos / Baal runs.

Too many people emphasis Meph runs ... River / Chaos / WSK & Throne is just as good if not better.

Nightmare cows... the small charms you find there can be re-rolled into 3/20/20 scs, so collect some for that purpose to either keep for yourself of sell off (srry, getting mixed up with b.net and SP)

Ok thanks everyone.

I think I am out of respecs so I cant go to hybrid zon at this point. I put a point into valk because for some reason the valk from peace disapears faster when you dont have a solid point. I cant explain that but it happens. For the stronger valk I usually have the one peace spawns. If I could have a respec I would probably go at least level 17 valk for the war pike addition.

I think my merc needs a tal or better helm and possibly an elite base insight so that he has an easier time staying alive. We are usually good to go until we get stomped by a super fast and light immune pack and the zon teles so slow I cant usually get away. This is were mrllamas videos dont help because hes a master of the run and tele but im too slow.

I think I need to farm titans and razortail at a minimum. I dont have the heart to farm an infinity in LK. I can kill hell Meph on P1 pretty easily but I would like to get to P7 for the drops...

The runes were the easy part for me. Had one hell of a time looking for an elite base however

Yup, if I remember correctly, I think I found more base items doing Hall runs (after killing Pindle), not too sure what you would find in Nightmare Halls though, normally only did this in Hell Diff.

Last night I found a sallet for merc which is working pretty well, still hoping for tal helm.

The specific reason im running NM Meph over anywhere else is that he has the highest chance to drop Titan in the game

Im around 500 runs in. So far I have found:

-Duriels shell X2
-Shaftstop
-Tal helm
-Guillaume
-Ravefrost
-String of ears
-War Travs
-Aldur boots
-40mf Chance gaurds
-Occulus x2
-2/2/2 Tal weapon

And so many other things

Still looking for titan and razortail...

Gambled a really nice belt: 24fhr/16str/22life/29lr/16fr which I might use if I find titan before razortail....

Obedience on merc should help a lot with Ancs.

Also a lower resist charge wand.

If you find a titans you’ll be able to do a significant amount of jab damage.

Nice finds... any of the Shaftstops Eth? Just asking because they use to be extremely popular for using... I prefer Durials Shell for res, but the DR on Shaftstop can help. also you can upgrade the armor also, since it is Exceptional.

Just me, but out on the Occys... :P

For p1 I don't think you need titans and razor even if it would help immensly. If you dont have any good Amazon javs you can try safety craft, maybe you get lucky. 20 freezing arrow and a harmony bow should be good enough to kill all lit immunes.

If you split to hybrid bow/jav, you should NEVER go full out on 20 Freezing arrow... that is a mana guzzler, may as well just go Strafe, at least you can leech mana and deal with Immune Lightning.

Mind you, I wouldn't split Light Jav into hybrid bow.
