Easy - except I almost died to a Talic whirlwind because I overestimated my bone armor and he was very low, but otherwise easy.
Did 2-3 TZ countess runs, PSA: the rune droptable stayed the same, so it was pointless.

I will clean up the progress until Q4 and then do a bunch of Countess runs. Also, I will be keeping this nightmare map for some cowruns, that's some great Stony field WP placement.

Not great, but not terrible Countess map. Not having to reset the map every game is fine enough. Next goals before I progress further:

• White (Dol + Io & Amn + Ral + P Amethyst for the socket --> I will not waste a Larzuk Q on something I can shop-run from Drognan in case I fail the coinflip. I could also go for a spirit anyway.)
  
• Lore (Ort + Sol)
  
• Rhyme (Shael + Eth)
  
• Insight (Ral + Tir + Tal + Sol, I haven't found a base yet though)

Updates will be coming soon (hopefully this week), that's all currently for the first upload bulk.

I decided to summarize the Countess drops in a single post instead of spamming the topic with it.

Upgrades made and found along the way:

Should be ready to clear Nightmare with the additional levels from Countess running and the massive +skills boost





...and some honorable mentions:

Wrapping up Act 1





...and replacing my broken ethereal boots with a random craft:

Lem will be a great addition as a Treachery for the mercenary once I find a proper base for it. Also found a random insight base, with a horrible roll, but it's still a huge upgrade for now (especially with Prayer).
