Thanks all! Now that I can do Hell CS runs, the real journey has only just begun!
Congratulations!
In order to keep having fun I would recommend some trav runs. They are fun and can get you good drops!
Thanks, and I did try some Trav runs at first, but I don't know what it is, I just have the most fun in Chaos! It's definitely my favourite place to grind in the whole game. I will likely end up in Travincal eventually, especially if I find a nice goldfind setup... But for now, Hell Chaos is something I've been looking forward to running since I started this character, so I'm just going to stick with that!
Update moving forward:I did some testing to decide what to do moving forward. P8 Chaos runs are consistently 45-50 minutes with a very high probability of s/e. Well over 50% of games I have to exit because with my low damage, I just can't handle the density and if I step one yard out of line I get overwhelmed by hordes I can't keep up with. P3 was a much more reasonable pace at about 15 mins per run. Also, the odds of having to s/e are a lot lower. It's a more enjoyable challenge. Still scary as I can still lose over half my life in one hit in some situations, but the monsters are less damage-spongey so the gameplay feels more pleasant, which is important when you intend to do a very high number of runs!
So that's where I am now! Just started P3 Hell CS runs in search of the Einlanzer. The hunt begins!
