Still dropping STs Pretty much no matter what. I've yet to see this rack drop anything but STs, even though the monster spawns have varied a bit more. No monsters have spawned directly next to the rack the way they have on previous maps I've had.

Meph drops were crap,


but I went over to get that other council member.



Ooooo a chippy! ISO El. Countess time.

Found one of these on the way:




Looks like the rack on L5 drops Dusk Shrouds when there are no monsters in the room now.

Ith Ith
Ith Ort

... Blah. I really don't feel like running countess too much more. Els are pretty rare, and I'm not going to reset my map. May just proceed into terror's lair now.

Walking circles around Diablo... He used bone prison a lot more than I can remember. I'm glad I'm a sorc this time.

I got him in the end.

Shenk was immune to me, but not my merc.

15 IAS doesn't exactly help merc hit another integer breakpoint, but whatever. This is the first socket quest I've used.

I ended up doing 2 or three re-runs here, simply because I wanted to play some more but didn't have a lot of time to actually go all the way to the next waypoint.


One nice find:



I like to trade fairly between my characters, so this will help her cause

i love those racks u got. STs and dusk shrouds lol.

what armor is your merc using? could make a Stone with the puls and ums you are beggining to find more consistently.

This is better than stone Especially because the CA he is using is slow otherwise.






Yea, not bad at all And before that the CAs in the Mausoleum! Ofc, I wish it had been threshers.. It really adds a lot of time to check the rack when running countess. I'm NOT going to run that rack for Ormus's robes, that is for sure


Quest updates: I saved the barbs, but had no room for my reward. oh well.






This guy is death on wheels. Good thing he isn't very bright. Kills the merc in one hit it seems.

Not bad but I'll stick w/ my current fire / lit / MF gloves. I am very overloaded on fire res, so I can really update this slot now.

Took a short break from forward progress as I really want to find a monarch or an El.

Runewords > Uniques



On my way to save that Anya. The blackhorn face works great
