Heh I found a monarch in the monastery. No sockets though, so sold for 35k.

Would 2 spirits be overpowered?

I ran out of gold again resurrecting merc on the way through the passage... I may just start using it.


EDIT:

I just found a Lum though...



So, should I make Memory or Splendor, or....

nah, a sorc is a real pain to play through without any gear. just get 2 spirits and be done with it lol.

check out google with "diablo 2 moat trick". should give you all the info you need

No need, figured it out myself


The Mausoleum weapon rack is dropping Cryptic Axes for me, which is nice I could use a nice eth 4 or 5os one, or a unique..



No luck on that fron, but I did find this in there:



This will probably displace my Nagelring real soon.. Would be perfect if only it had fcr, or if Penelope was melee..

For now it is in stash, and this one got the boot: http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/Penelope/20120401/Screenshot084.jpg


The last find from there was this, which I am saving for an imbue:



.. And to make room I chucked my fire / lit / fhr boots. I'm still not using them in hell, so time to go.

Saved cain:


Got a ring:


I don't bother fighting cursed monsters... Merc just dies and I can't afford to resurrect his ass all the time. So Griswold lives, this time..

Then I got a malus, and I didn't SS because again cursed..

But I did Imbue:

I thought about making Strength here for the merc:



But decided against it... Too slow. Also, I had to s/e again while it was on the ground waiting for me to find a Tir.


This is where I'm at:

Merc is still holding his own a lot better, but not while amped. Which makes me fear for myself.. If he gets one-two hit, then I'll be toast too. I need to make treachery for him. I actually skipped the tower because I was eager to get the imbue quest. I should really try and find a Lem..

I ran out of gold again bringing merc back to life, so it was time to farm in the Mausoleum.



So it is probably fishy that I was just complaining about no treachery, and then this drops! So here I'll provide video

http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/Penelope/20120401/?action=view&current=3osScarab.mp4

Tomorrow I'll have to try the tower. If I find a Pul first I may make Enlightenment.. A Lem and I'll make treachery. Enlightenment may be a waste though, provided I find a vMagi eventually. I should really take care of the merc first, but I'm wearing a Stealth still in hell..


Two other notable drops:

First skiller:



Spirit Guilt:


If I hadn't switched to spirit full time this would have been an upgrade. I have a 2 fire on switch, so I could have used weapon switch to alternate between attacks for fire immunes and cold immunes. Oh well...

I do find that I'm using Meteor, teleport, static, glacial spike a lot more. I'm probably using more skills than I've ever needed to use before.

Countess runs! Looking for a Lem..

My map sucks. Worst map ever perhaps. I should just reset it, but I feel you have to take the good with the bad.

Tir Io Thul
Eth Nef
Key Amn Thul
Key Eth Shael Amn
Shael Shael
Ort Nef
Amn Eth
Nef
Tir Tal Ral
Dol
Shael

I usually clear the middle part of L5 too, which is were I got this:





Rats!

Then....



Hooray! So... I can make Enlightenment, but then I'll need to find another 3os armor for merc... What should I do? Treachery is probably more important now, however finding another 3os for merc will eventually happen too... Especially as the options for a base is much more flexible with his greater strength.. I could go back to normal A2 and just shop a 3os Armor too, but putting a Pul in a BP is just not right..
