I ran Countess a few times looking for some Um runes to make my Bone armor, but after about 10 kills getting nothing better than a Shael I gave up and decided to try for some progress. I got rewarded almost immediately with a +3 PnB amulet.



New damage!



Smith was no problem thanks to bone prison.

These god damn wraiths...extra strong, cursed, extra fast, getting might aura from a nearby pack of enemies, and they fly through my bone prisons had to res my merc at least 3 times trying to split them up.



This replaced a few shitty poison resist charms I had been holding on to since forever ago. My charm luck has seriously been so bad this time around.



Andy was easy. I could farm her if I wanted...maybe in the future.

Oh, Zebulon, you're after my heart! Good to see you moving again

I'm really enjoying reading this, @MegaCatholic !



Got some questions, please.



#1 Many times you say "I've found a stash, and so I've will farm it for some time...". How can you farm it, if you can only open it once per game instance ?



#2 quad-Sol, the damage reduction armor for merc: why are you so excited about 28 point damage reduction? I thought that mobs on nm/hell deal much more than that...



#3 How do you "refresh the merchants" ? In my case it seems that the set of items from NPC is hardly refreshing at all.



P.S. I'm playing hc ladder.



P.P.S. Keep posting updates, mate! Thank you
