do you think blizzard put that on purpose to get more dura on rares when the uniques wouldnt drop?

hmmm i got version 1

dope

Happy new year everyone!

Fortunately I was able to play quite a lot during the Christmas holiday so I am happy to present you some updates.

As you can see from the XP-bar I did like hundreds of cowruns since #294. Sadly no real trophy material findings so far and cowruns can quickly become very boring.

Two nice War Belts:



Also no success in gambling. Not even a unique or rare one.

This map had lightning enchanted extra fast King almost every time. Was extremely dangerous, but I did some runs because the drop pattern was promising.

I had some near-death experiences, like here:



Another gamble attempt:



And the best result so far...



Still missing Mahim-Oak, which is a key part of my gambling strategy (+3% chance for rare amulet if you possess all the three uniques).

I decided to stop CK-farming for a while and focus on levelling. 92 would be my ultimate goal, because from lvl92 all gambled amulets have the potential to spawn with +2 skills (due to the hidden +2 ilvl modifier and the -4/+5 range via gambling).



87 was quite easy, I can still receive XP from all monsters in RoF and CS (just a few hundred from bugs tho').



Wanted to try Diablo with revives, but as soon the battle started I realised that I forgot to unsommon Blood Golem. Of course BG took the first hit -> instant save & exit. Almost killed, again...



Maybe I will try again, later.

Of course I tried again a couple runs later. The problem is that revives cant last long enough to beat Diablo. After they disappear I have to make another team which is a bit time-consuming. At this stage when I get XP from the simple monsters it is not so efficient to spend like another 10 minutes just to receive the extra XP from Diablo.
With lower player settings (5 or 6) I think it would be possible.





And another gambling attempt. Damn, why not rare?

Almost level. The XP-bar is trying to cheat me again.



And 88! Only 4 more.



For those who are interested let me present some statistics:

- at lvl87 I received an average 11M XP per run.
- by run I mean cleaning RoF from the WP to CS, then cleaning CS including all three seal bosses. And of course, whithout killing Diablo.
- if I pay attention I can make up to 400k gold per run. Due to the game basics before Expansion the higher your clvl the more exceptional items you get. CS monsters drop high-end items like Ancient Armor, Full Plate Mail, Gothic Plate, Grim Wand, Gothic Staff etc. and their exceptional versions. So it is really a gold mine.
- from 87 to 88 it took me 10 completed runs with an average 18 minutes per run.

Okay, that's all for now. I will try to make some updates soon.
