So I set off running and howling my way through Act 1 .. it wasn't too scary. Andy was actually quite easy, thanks to crushing blow:



Act 2 was SLOW and DANGEROUS. Freaking Maggot Layer gave me the worst maps. I should have bought a tele staff with me but I didn't want to reset and lose the map I'd discovered so far ...



The main maggot room was packed with champions and mobs so I tried to run in and grab staff but inventory was full lol, picked it up and saved and exited as fast as possible O_O



Had a few close calls, but slowly making progress ..

Of course it was the last path for arcane sanctuary:



Luckily the tomb was fairly empty, wish me luck ...



An extremely slow and painful fight with freeze aura and slow 2h weapon ... but we got there in the end:

I ran through A3, grabbed LK WP, and started the process of rolling a great map. After a long time I managed to get this bad boy with super chest indicated:



This also has two racks, one of which drops a barb helm like 1/10 times and another which drops champion swords like 1/4 times. Perfect. Now we settle into the grind. Looking for pul/mal for my oath primarily, and maybe something for a shield. Also would like to upgrade merc weapon to elite. Let's go!

And so the grind begins ... looking for pul + mal .. after maybe 30 or so runs we get first useful rune:



In fact, I just combine with my other and we got our mal :D



Boom!



OK now we just get pul and we're good ..

Wasn't counting runs but quite a bit later we find a nice rune:



Possible alternative oath base from rack?



I might use this for a bulwark if i can't find better .. also dropped from rack!
