I keep this Grave Wand for Charsi's reward (still have all the three).

And of course if it is a rare it must be useless shit :angry:

That's all for this week. I will continue with the CS runs next week, trying to reach lvl91.

Thanks for reading!


Any updates upcoming :-)?

Started over during the X-mas holidays, but at the moment I do not have enough material to post. So far only my XP-bar grew, did not find any good stuff worth to show. :)
I will definitely make an update, if I reach lvl91.

Really interesting walkthrough! I was really young and my brother didn't let me play much when the patches were still early. Loved reading all the minutia that has changed. How did the prismatic suffix work in 1.00? It appears to be random for each individual resistance.

Back to work



As I mentioned above, I stopped the progress around halfway to 91 and started over during the Christmas holidays. I was also able to play this weekend, so finally I have some material worth posting. :)

I also find a way to reduce processor usage while running 8 games simultaneously, which caused serious lag issues during gameplay and I almost died many times.
The solution is setting processor affinity. By default the game uses all processor cores at the same time, so distributed the CPU cores among the games. Game may still slow down during epic battles, but the situation is much better than before.

So this is my advice if you want to run multiple games in old patches to simulate PX: after launching the games, run the Task Manager, go to Details and set CPU affinity.

With my 162 MF setup the ammount of rares drops are quite high. The main problem is that all of them are garbage. :D

This happens all the time:



Yeah...

So rares are crap, but at least I have tons of money to gamble. B)



While cleaning the area around the Cow Portal, which I opened for fast gambling, I came into this:



My good old friend, Snappy, you are so fucking useless in this version. :D

Still no luck with amulets. I decided to gamble boots as well since they are very cheap and can get epic affixes (I really want to obtain a pair of pre-expansion trophy boots).
So gambling Boots and Heavy Boots now, here are the results:



(As you can see the third one was spawned as unique, since I have a Hotspur in my inventory.)

Now this is almost an epic one! Could have better resists and FRW instead of light radius, but for the MF I decided to use it now.



And the last one from this gamble has perfect light resist. :)



My ultimate trophy boots would be:

Fastest hit recovery
Fastest run
40+/40+/40+ fire/light/cold res
30+ MF or 15+ strength
