A few Countess runs. I wasn't finding an Ith easily.



Not sure why that key dropped. I'm SP and using the txt file for rune words.



Got bored of Countess because of not dropping an Ith. Decided to switch back to P8 and save the old man.

Nice Io out in the open.



Saving this guy was a pain. I basically had to clear everything in the middle of Tristam.



And the "reward".

I don't melee. I need this of the Whale.



Poison Nova White base



Need eth please.

Stashing this.



Boo! I know it's only 40 base damage, but -60 natural attack speed? Eh, no? Sure, there are better, but style points.



Pul and Ko

There is a Culens in that garbage



WHERE IS MY RUNE?!?



GIVE ME AN ITH

Finally...



...and it's a crap roll. Gained about 100 damage on the low end, but lost about 60 on the high end. I'll try it out, but may be going back to the Blade Bow. I was hoping for equivalent high end damage.



That's it. More farming to go. I could probably grind past Andy, but my gear is awful and my merc's gear is awful, so I'm in no hurry.

Right now, he's using an Obedience in an eth Battle Scythe that I blew a socket quest on in NM. CB is so much more important than damage at this point. Although, he still does in the 1600-1700 top end range because of Might.

I don't need an Insight merc because MA uses 0 mana per shot (after a certain point).

And, yes, the socket quest was still worth it because we are cruising Pits, Maus, and Crypt at P8 despite having not great gear.

Some farming, and then progress, so hold on a bit.

Here's a fun base.



I would say this is a dragon base, but dragon should be made in pally shields only.



Boo!

This was so, so close.



And...fail.



Fail

Too much strength to be a good Fort base.



Hey a Ral.



And fail roll. Frack.
