Update time!

I've mostly been running the pits and ancient tunnels to try and find some good bases.
Currently looking for:

• Ethereal 4 socket axe - Oath
  
• Ethereal 5 socket axe - Death
  
• 5 socket axe - Grief
  
• Ethereal 4 socket polearm - Insight
  
• Ethereal 5 socket polearm - Obedience
  

I'm pretty sure my best bet is to find a base and cube it for sockets, but I have yet to find anything that I need.
Not a single eth small crescent, no berzerker axes of any kind, except for the eth 3 socket I found getting to D, and not a single elite eth polearm.
Very frustrating.

O well, it's bound to happen sometime or another.

Some recent highlights

Very awesome find


More IK

Some fire absorb if I need it



Mace that I've barely ever seen drop

Hit level 89, and when my Gulzar leveled up behind me, he now has enough str to use the treachery base I'd been holding.
Had to cube up lower runes to get my lem, still haven't seen one drop, haha.


His current stats


Very cool find.
I didn't know what it was when it dropped, so I didn't SS it

Here are my updated stats for all 3 builds I run atm.
These are fully buffed, with fade, enchant, and Gulzar's might aura

First is using Guillaume's helm.
I use this when running pits/tunnels as my 0 magic find build, hoping that might give me a better chance for plain bases to drop.



Here is my shako build.
This is what I use to actually progress, as the additional life and damage reduction are very helpful

And the last is my MF swap I use when killing andy/meph.
Not really doing many of these right now, but probably will when I upgrade my and Gulzar's weapons




If I REALLY wanted to boost my MF a bunch more, I could, but I'd have to basically replace my entire inventory with dex and str charms to allow me to keep my weapons equipped when I swap out gloves/ring/ammy, and that just doesn't seem worth it.

Well, that's all for now. Pray for me to find a decent base!

I must have run the pits 50 times. Well, maybe not that much, but a lot.
Each run takes roughly 6-8 minutes.
Really need to upgrade my and Gulzar's weapons.
Closest I found to what I need was an eth war spike, that got 3 sockets when rolled

Found Ali Baba


At least I found a berserker axe.


Unique ring.
Turned out to be a manald

Pits got boring, so I decided to make some progress




That last mob was stuck on Anya, and it looked like the ! was coming from him, haha

This might give me some more flexibility with my charms


Another unique ring


Sickkkkk roll.
I will use this

Anya's reward.
She was as gracious as ever
