I’m also leaning towards the pits, but I wanna be efficient. I’ll run the numbers in a minute and try to make decisions based on that, but would love to hear more opinions

My current ISO list:
Gore Riders/Goblin Toe
Stormshield
Thundergods
Stormlash
Vampire Gaze
Cats Eye/Highlords
Spirit



iso this? sheesh. Meph man! ofc! And a few hell countess and a white monarch.

I’d probably say Mephisto too. Pits can get pretty frustrating if you’re looking for a handful of specific items. Does he [Meph] kill your merc often?

If you have enough FRW I found you can just run past the council members and vampires. Nine times out of ten if they lose line-of-sight they don’t follow you around to Meph, unless maybe if they spawn extra fast.

Haha why didn't that occur to me? I tried it out and it works out 95% of the time, thanks! :thumbsup:

The problem with running is that merc doesn't get to proc his Fade, and then I have to tank. Shadow Master tanks well if she doesn't cast BoS instead of fade which is... Not often -_-

Alright, I'm convinced, and I ran some numbers. I have 14mf from charms, 16 from gloves, 111 from Skullders, 30 from ring and 30 if I switch to CTA for kill, ending up at 201mf.

Heres my current needlist with odds of Mephisto/Andariel dropping them @201% mf:

Gore Rider - 1:1035 (Andy - 1:686)
Goblin Toe - 1:364 (Andy - 1:242)
Vampire Gaze - 1:976 (Andy - 1:945
Stormshield - 1:1051 (Andy - Can't drop)
Thundergod's Vigor - 1:1035 (Andy - 1:686
Cat’s Eye - 1:4359 (Andy - 1:1507)
Highlords Wrath - 1:4359 (Andy - 1:1507)
Dracul's Grasp - 1:1033 (Andy - Can't drop)



While Andariel (Q bugged) has higher odds for some of the items, Ilzan can't stay alive against her. Current plan is to run Mephisto for most of the upgrades, then farm Andariel for Cat's Eye/Highlords later.

Enough numbers, let's roll a map and get back on the grind! :banana:

Reroll #21: Booya!



Damn I hate switching gear during fights, it's really scary when playing with a touchpad



Run #27: If you remember from earlier, I did a few runs after my first 1250 LK runs, but I'm counting total # of runs

Anyway, Elite uniques exist B)

At run #29 I had a close call ~300hp. I forgot to change back to Fortitude+9@ ring after the previous run, but luckily I was quick with a juv

Run #31: Dark Adherent



Aw, would've stashed Arachs!



Quick question, do superior armors always spawn with max base defense?

This is one of the reasons I hate switching gear from inventory.

1: It breaks the flow of the game
2: I'm terrified Wyand is gonna teleport behind me and say "Nothing personal, kid"



Run #41: Not War Boots but hey! ^_^ I have no idea what my endgame belt should be, but I'm stashing this ^_^

Oh wow, this is actually pretty sick for this build. Might have used this over Voice of Reason if I was still farming NM Meph B)



Run #49: That OP tc3 (1:4038 @201% mf :rolleyes: )



This thing is so cute, impossible to take seriously as a weapon :blush:

Happy I hadn't switched to MF gear, that really startled me

Craft #140:



Run #65: 3rd Shako



Guess I'll keep this one around, the CB on Guillaumes starts to taper off after the initial blows, and +50% mf on switch, dr, life and +trap damage can't hurt
