I was wondering if I should run Arcane a few more times, but it wasn't as quick as I expected. Decided to skip the farms for now and continue the progress to the inevitable LK grind.

Some additional work was to be done behind the scenes. I will want a Hustle armor for the 65% FRW and a Harmony bow for the vigor aura. These two will help speed up the LK runs significantly.

Rerolled the wares of Fara on normal a bunch of times until I found a 3 socket breast plate and made the Hustle runeword.
Then I farmed normal cows for a couple of bow bases to cube 4 sockets. The first roll failed, the second long bow was successful.
I didn't have an additional Ko rune which I thought I had, and didn't have enough midrunes to cube one up, so it's time for some Countess runs again... either a Ko needs to drop or a few Lums/Ios/Hels to cube.

Really lucky tower map, not as lucky inside the cellar, but not terrible. At least I got a Ko drop in only 4 runs.

And now probably the least exciting part of the walkthrough is in progress. Took a long time to roll a really great LK map, runs take less than 30 seconds to pop 6 superchests, 2 weapon racks and 1 armor rack, with usually 3-4 random stashes/bodies in the way. The armor rack sometimes drops a pair of heavy bracers, so here's hoping it might be Trang gloves eventually.

The LK runs aren't all that exciting, I lost count of the run numbers, but based on my youtube playlist and that the runs take on average around 45 seconds with the occasional vendor/repair/keyruns, it's approximately 500ish currently.

Finding tons of +3 skill circlets and amulets, an endless income of gems and crafting runes, some useless skiller grand charms, some useful small charms, some mid runes... and a Sur rune! Basically the progress is 1/6th towards Enigma.
