Finally a sorc amulet! but no resists!!!! I can't use it really until I have a hoto too, and maybe a spirit monarch.

I can supply video if anyone wants. The +life and +mana is really nice

Javelin
Runic Talons
Spiculum



5os!



Merc's new pole! That is about the worst roll possible. 201 def (200-300) , and 22 out of 20-30 all res

I'll probably still run this rack from time to time. (where are you eth poles? Or Tomb Reaver? ).

Tir Amn
Amn Ith Tal



NOW a rack decides to drop a unique weapon!! I usually tele right over all these levels. I still have that horrible map. But if no monsters spawn near the racks I hit them.



Non-countess Hel drop, good for another spirit roll soon.

Key Ort Ort El
Sol Amn


Amn means new spirit:



34>33 so I'm happy. My 33 had perf mana and perf MDR though

Tal Dol Ith Key

I hadn't really made up my mind to use spirit monarch until this dropped. This is the third monarch so far I've found I think, but this time I'm gonna cube some sockets and hope for four. I'm not going to burn a socket quest on it yet. The only problem is I habitually WASTE MY RUBIES ON CRAFTS! I really really should have saved one. ISO rubies.

Tal
Amn Hel
Thul Amn Nef

To get rubies I'm going back to the mausoleum. There are three superchests on the way to that rack that drops CAs, so rubies will appear eventually. Also, there are two shrines in the cold plains on the way to the burial grounds. It is a long teleport over to there too. This map is rotten, except for the racks that drop CAs and balrog skins!!!! I will be very conflicted when it is time to reset the map, unless I have already made eth bugged 3os armor & eth 4os & eth 5os CA.

So now running both countess & racks/chests

First flawless: http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/Penelope/20120407/Screenshot164.jpg
Spiculum
Javelin
Greater Talons

To make room I had to weed out more items I no longer can afford to hang onto. Long gone is my Lore casque, as well as my insight staff. Now ditched:

prismatic amulet: http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/Penelope/20120407/Screenshot171.jpg

I got level 86 somewhere around here.

I found a gem shrine on the way to mausoleum, but I had the recipe wrong and cubed my Tals because I thought it was Amn Ral Ruby. So ISO Tal!

Amn Ral
Key Sol Amn
Sol Nef
Thul Thul

.... And that is where my second HD filled up, which meant it was time to post and config fraps to use the third HD instead..

Why does good stuff happen only when I know I really should be sleeping?





Finally a Tal!!!

I got the recipe right this time..

Bah.

So I need only one more Lem or a Pul for my HoTO, then it will be back to A2..

Eth Ith
Nef Eth



Amn
Ort Ith



I love this armor rack... Too bad I'm only really ISO eth armors now..

Eth Sol
Ort Thul
Hel Dol Ort

I now have two Hel & no Tals. It really makes no sense to re-roll spirit anyway since I'm so close to hoto. I probably should use the cube for something besides clearing sockets.

Time for a craft...
