Steppes clear


Not sure why I screenshotted. Must have been highest rune drop at the time?

New highest rune drop


Plains of Despair cleared


Finally a relevant druid pelt! When i have the right materials, I'll socket it with cube. If it gets 3os it'll be a ptopaz helm. If it gets 2os it'll be a Lore runeword. If it gets 1os... I don't know, I'll probably angrily slap a ral or ort into it and move on.

City cleared


Found a decent amount of uniques in norm so far

Come on Sol!!!


Or that


Cleaned up stash. Selling the misc in invent.

More Thul


RoF 1/2


Rof 2/2

3 Thuls now.


Vizier


Seis

Infector was the first time I didn't feel overpowered so far.


Diablo was a little tough. I wouldn't say it was a challenge, just that I couldn't stand there and facetank his attacks like I have been doing so far. Had to use the open wounds from my Steel when he got really lightning-hose heavy. Going to really need to pump up my life and res before NM!

2x Sig shields and both were 22 def! I can use it on swap for +1 to werebear/heart of the wolverine I guess!


Saw this at Larzuk first thing in A5. Instead of using a 21 FR belt / 24 LR ring, I swapped to this belt + 28 FR ring for a little upgrade.


Stats entering A5 Norm. I need more life and res before NM. Life will just come with levels, but I hope I can find some decent res items in A5!




That's where I'm at now! Next time I play I will start A5.

Tir Ral in staff gives +3 fireclaw

Nice read so far, never thought myself about playing d2r with old graphics

Thanks. I’m not using Leaf because it doesn’t have good physical damage or ias. This random cubed polearm is slamming atm though!
