Those last two were the very last two I was able to make. Next time I need to apply my philosophy of streaks to crating. From now on I'm going to do about 5 test crafts. If I don't like what I see then I'll save up again. It looked like a +str, +lit res streak was starting.

I think I'll need a bit of mana leech for UT baal, and for running d-keys w/ smite if there are any mana burn enemies down there.

Still trying to roll a nice non-eth 3os armor, so I picked this up, then continued to clear WSK.


I have sacrificed super stacked resists for MF, so this a a SCARY sight! This is the very definition of NOT SAFE, even w/ wisp & tgods vigor!



420 would have had style points. 500+ would have been acceptable. Next time...

These are not Dracs:


A tiny tiny tiny bit closer to a mal:

And that is it! You are all caught up with were I've been and know what I'm currently ISO. In the time since I've been posting I haven't been playing much. It takes quite a bit of effort to go through so many shots and post it all up.

I had no idea that the walk was going to basically turn into a hammerdin/smiter guide, complete w/ grief (still ISO mal) & tgods & Gores. Nor that my philosophy & superstitions around MF & crafting would be exposed and actually written down :)

I really respect players like sebehe for doing it all completely w/o any mods. Pluggy can make the game a hell of a lot easier. Ladder is just more my style, and where I find the most enjoyment.

Yea, read up on random number generators. The best crypto systems in the world over time have been broken because they are not truly random. Streaks can and do occur, especially in PRNGs that are not crypto-grade!

I'm NOT saying you can increase your odds significantly using this "strategy". All I'm saying is that I'll take whatever miniscule improvement I can (real or perceived).

I appreciate your words, but it still wont make me believe this is legit :P
To me all the "16 hours non stop of Council members resulted in...!" or similar just makes me think of Michellegirl all over again. I mean really, you a robot? :)
Anywho, good luck!

There are streaks - they just aren't called streaks, it's called Luck.

You can have a lucky streak where you kill andariel and get a ravn 20 dex, then kill mephi and get a soj.

It happens.
