Ethereal Flail... is it too soon to be thinking about "Heart of the Oak"?

Dream big, Snowflake. Dream big. Stashing.



Stats and Skills entering Nightmare Difficulty



Killing speed is still sufficient so far, no problems in the Den.

Likely "Lore" base



Another Flail? Maybe no need to cube the first after all?



Nah.

Blood Raven down again - easier this time, but a little upsetting for Snowflake. She knows that all of the President's tactics are designed as smoke and mirrors to get us distracted and fighting with one another, and it's working.



"Lore" complete



Socketed Bone Shield and ETH from the Carver camp near Rankinishu?

"Rhyme" complete - will likely use this for quite some time.



Treehead



Another white man gets released from jail.

Another Broad Sword?



Nice!



Couldn't be happier to throw the rest of these out and clear up some inventory space, especially with Countess runs right around the corner! Now let's get some polearms dropping please!

Initial quest kill - orb was no good, but it doesn't matter, because the AMN made this possible:





Nice! 33%+ means that if and when Vipermagi drops Snowflake will be at the 63% breakpoint regardless of other gear.

Quick, easy, safe runs - got a good teleport route mapped out that avoids most of the mobs and costs only two mana potions per run.

Let's just see, shall we?



Nah. But kind of a relief, still seems so far away that the six inventory spots may be more useful ATM.



Failed safety craft.

Best rune drop of several NM Coutness runs - moving on now.



Will be helpful for cubing polearms for Gulzar



Like this one!

Four please!



Nah. Hopefully getting all the bad luck out of the way early in the walk. That's how statistics and randomization work, right?
