Continuing on with the Gskin hunt!

Perfect sigon's helm to replace my other one


Another crap exe sword!


What the heck! This is a pretty sweet necro wand.

My 2nd imbue-able exe sword!! Woop woop!


But gaining this sword left me in a dire situation in terms of stash/invent space. I decided/remembered that hoarding gems on single player classic isn't a luxury one can afford, and then went into a frenzied state of invent clearing and made drastic decisions, leaving myself with sig helm/glove/boots combo for hell, dropping the other options. I know that combo worked for my axe barb and it has nice leech, ar, and some mf, so I decided it's as good of hell starting gear as any, and committing to one set of gear freed up the most space possible.


Then right after I found this orange barbed shield which would also look great with Gskin. Until I can decide which looks sexier between the large shield and the barbed shield, both are taking up 12 invent squares total

Hammerdin would be happy with this at this stage in the game!


Another rare exe


Pretty similar to the magic one I had originally shopped.

Woo hoo! Raining rare exes


Haven't seen one above 100%ed though


Wearing these now

4% goldfind upgrade


First rare +1barb ammy

Nice ammy for the level


This is the best armor I've found tbh, but I sold it because I'll be using tancred's armor until I get gskin


Triple durability, dual leech, and well over 100% ed. If this was an exe I'd be over the moon! But it spawned as bec de corbin because I called polearms bad.

This is the highest ed% weapon I've found on classic single player throughout any of my wts. I didn't even know that ed% this high could spawn in nm on classic. Plus the min-max, high ar and str.. damn! Too bad about the base.


If it was 30/20 instead of 15/10 I would have saved this orange prismatic tower and gotten rid of my orange large shield and orange barbed. Too bad about the block mod, even though it actually still has similar block to the other 2 shields, 15/10 just hurts my eyes!


Similar to one of the leech rings I already have. Dropped this one. Going into Hell I'm going to use my dual leech ring, and then 1x leech/res ring. I believe my options atm are either 6 leech with 20 fire res or 6 leech with lightning/psn res. or something like that, would have to check.

Wait, that belt is actually awesome! Will def be saving this. My gear for hell is shaping up. So far it's looking like this: Sigon helm/gloves/boots. This belt. That rare super resistances ammy I found. Dual leech ring. Life leech/res ring. Best exe I can find. All that's missing from that list is the Gskin. If I can get enough res without this belt though, I'd swap it for goldwrap. Kinda too bad that both this belt and my rare ammy are stacked in cr/fr. At least I have one leech ring with lr/pr I think.


First twitch


Now a blue 3020 grim! Hm, I'm not going to save this one because I'll likely be rocking Gskin for a long while, so I want an orange shield for now. By the time I do get myself into some sort of rare ornate, I reckon it'll either be red or brown, but regardless, I'll likely have found a better shield than this by then. Anyways, wtf, I don't even use shields so why are they taking up so much space on my char

Hit 73. This is getting pretty crazy! I found Gskin on my other barbs very quickly. I remember on my axe barb I found it almost right away and just kept doing nm chaos runs for xp not even for drops. And in that wt I mentioned that the xp severely dropped off after level 66 or 67 I think? Yet here I am at 73 and still no Gskin. I'm going to get to level 74 in nm chaos, the level I need to be able to imbue 200% ed executioners. If I haven't found Gskin by then, I'm going to look up where my best chance of finding it is and then just run that spot. Cause I'm so ready for hell, just need that damn armor! I'm saving skill points because I can't decide between mastery, natural resistance, or find item for my next points. Once I am in hell and see my stats there I can decide!




And that's where I am :] Level 73, and giving myself until level 74 in NM Chaos before I just look up the best spot to find gskin and spam runs there. The problem is though, the only mf calc I know of is for xpac only. I don't really know where to find classic mf info lol.
