I was doing some TZs in normal and found this – mercs will be happy



Also found this while running TZ



Well, good enough to use it right now!

Starting NM a little overleveled ...



Den.



Raven.

I hired an Act 1 merc and made her an Edge (in an edge bow, of course). I will use it by myself later for the vendor price reduction.



I also made myself a lore helmet



Saved Cain. Quest reward was not too bad!

First countess kill.



I found a 4 os, 15ed cs in the meantime and built spirit in it – 35 fcr on my first try



Smith.

Andy was even easier than in normal, since I pumped almost all points in fire skills



Drops.



Apparently a random mob in the background dropped my set gloves

Later, I went for an Act 2 merc ...



... but quickly changed back to my Act 1 merc, since she has a better survivability and my demon already works fine as a tank.
I also got a new demon - this one has a conviction aura, which makes my fire spells even stronger
Radament done.



Staff.

Amulet.



Some random grailers, that I found along the way

Summoner.



Duriel was easy.



Good Duriel drops?! What is this?! New helmet for my merc (level is still a bit too low) and new amulet for me

+20 life.



Eye. Sszark died quickly.



Quest reward from the Gidbinn.

Brain.



First skiller!



+5 stats and new boots for me!
