On to cain! No screens of tree head woodfist, that fight was... too intense lol

I kept my distance to this bugger, lol




For some reason I decided to screen this from tristram, but not the saving of cain, haha...
Well, saved he is, and a crap reward I got (no suprise there)

After cain, I actually went on and made some Pit runs before I dared to run down to tower to kill the countess...

DOH!



Another (second) lem, which became a Treachery 3sox MP when I found that like the next run


First lidless now viper? wtf

Found my most precious charm, wow! it's so good for my build




Moving on to countess *shivers*



Met a few hardass' down there

The royal countess herself wasnt big a deal. My merc Lifeleeches enough to tank the whole minion crew. Pulled them out one by one (or tried too....)



But yeah, merc took them all even tho I pulled all at once..



You're not so tough alone are you? Gave me no good drops whatsoever like ral highest

If you are planning to run Countess for runes, don't forget that you want to spawn her at P1.

Yeah, I know it's sort of "cheating", however, it increases the rune drops massively, since P8 mangles the chances of getting rune picks almost completely since it's done after the normal drops.

Not sure how other people feel about it, but as long as the "quest" kill is done on P8, subsequent kills on P1 are an option imo.

So, that's basically where Im at... At outer cloister. Have been mfing most of the time I played, and honestly havent played that much since lack of time/battle.net play


here's the gear right now!

The damage says 930-31xx + 1856-505x per hand.
AR is 6xxx each. This is with enchant and also venom+fade from treachery







hmm I dont know how I feel about that tbh. ^^

Alright! Awesome update! You're in Europe right? I love waking up and seeing all the updates. Yay for my screenshot! I will save it and treasure it forever

Just rootin for ya, sry for actin like Mom. I doubt I could do as well nowadays. Almost to Fara, maybe she'll give you a gift. Can't wait for the next series of screenshots. GL!

nice gloves by the way.

definitely up that eth shaft imo DManz, not a bad ed, hope you get a nice defense.
you can proc fade on yourself then switch to eth shaft for the defense in rare situations since no zod and use on merc the rest of the time.

IMO /players 1 will make MFing easy and little chance of dying, which makes these walkthroughs just about doing enough mf runs to get through quests... idk I prefer /players 8 the whole way


BTW that grand charm is sexy, grats

I never made the rule for myself to play at players 8 all the time. I have been mfing at p1 for countess due to the special rune drop quirk, also farmed nm trav and now hell bishibosh who is camped on top of the wp. I need to do this just to have enough gold for hell repairs and gambling of course.

Those two screenshots of countess drops were my only good drops in about 35+ runs. I really need better weapons in order to not go broke while questing in p8. My rule is to always clear an area first at p8, but then I can mf at whatever I need, for as long as I need. For me the game is about the rush of finding / crafting something useful. Razor tail will be so sweet to find, no matter how long it takes me to find it. when I get bored mfing I'll quest a bit. But if it is too slow then I'll mf until my kill speed improves or I tire of it.

I am about to venture into the pit for the first time.. A bit nervous because I'm still only level 80...

@hoaryhag but what about CBF? I tried duriel on the merc and found that I didn't need to feed him as many pots as he leeched more often. I think I may use the technique to trigger fade on him though!

@spaz nice finds on limb and charm!
