Editing goof. I pasted the same image twice. Used both for a minute though.



Care to elaborate?



Oh. Right. No folks, I'm just an idiot. Pitchforks down.



Phew. Good. :) I was gonna say, there is no reason for someone to do that. Hope you create an axe better than mine, and also have better luck than me. Let me know if you need any tips on axe crafting. Though I see you’re also using rare so chances are you’ll find a better rare axe than crafted haha

I'm realizing as I'm posting this that I don't need to be hording this many stat points. The most strength I should need is 138 for Arreat's. I don't remember what else is granting extra strength, but I know it isn't much.

Minimum 118 (to equip Arreat's Face Slayer Guard).

Sure. If there's anything in particular to know, I'm ears. I've only ever crafted one weapon that could be considered valuable. There's very little hope that I'll I'm ever going to craft two superb axes for this character. Mainly, though, it's just the thought that if I find something like the perfect socketed eth/rep 300% ed 40% ias fools zerker, how can I not at least give it for a spin? No pun intended.

Yep yep. Being scatter-brained again. Meant 138 for Berserker Axes.

You know, going through all these screenshots makes one notice things they otherwise may not have noticed. Like, for example, these taints got some big ol' gross man hands.

Is there some lore that suggests these were once human at some point?



This charm dropped from something on my way through the jail levels. It's always worth it to take a brief moment to hit any poppables you run by.



And it's shop/gamble time again. Finally found my first Amn rune and made that Edge. Didn't have much luck. A lot of things can generate with Barb / Warcry buffs huh?

This is a decent poleaxe for a merc. I guess it's finally time to ditch that old amp stick yeah? ...

... Nah just kiddin'.



Bones dropped a cleaver and it was bad.



These lightning enchanted, extra strong taints keep spawning in the catacombs, and they kind of scare the shit out of me.

Another very welcome drop just before Andariel again. Can't ask for much better right now. My chance to hit all the things is anywhere between 60 and 70% right now.



Many garbage. Much disappoint. Pairing Hsarus' belt with the boots gives a very good attack rating bonus, but if you saw the belt I gambled in A5 Norm, that would be giving up way too much.



With that, it's time to ditch Alhizeer's Defiance for a permanent Might merc. And, of course, there's only one man fit to walk with us.

Legend tells of a bro so epic, many posers congregate in Lut Gholein hoping to receive his praise.

We find the real Durga. This guy's so epic he just helps himself to the drinks.

Considering farming Andy for a bit, but she doesn't actually have a whole lot in her drop pool that I'm stoked about, if my info source is correct. String of Ears would be worth it, but our current belt is pretty fantastic nontheless. Shaftstop would be a big upgrade, but the chances of her dropping it are super slim. I could have sworn she was capable of dropping Gore Riders, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Either way, I'll be wanting an armor upgrade and a great deal more survivability. If I do begin pushing for act 3, it will need to be very cautiously.

Fitting name: Beast Gutter; verily in the gutter is where it belongs with those stats.

Christmas Hork! RnB potions? :santa:

Neato LC right there.

Save some for Drugnan... errr, I mean Drognan!

Gore Rider (level=55) are War Boots (level=54) which means we need drop source level > 54 capable of picking from armo54.
Have a peek at https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Item_code

Nightmare Andariel (level=49) has both insufficient level and drops armor/weapons from max armo45/weap45, so she cannot even drop War Boots/War Boots/War Boots (level=54) {Immortal King's Pillar (level=37)}.
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Andariel_(N) <- regular TC (N: Nightmare)
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Andarielq_(N) <- quest TC

Nightmare Mephisto (level=59) drops from max armo54/weap54 - he is the earliest boss Evil (Act boss) drop source for these.

Andariel drops dick. We need to push our way to Mephisto. LK and Travincal will be great to have available for farming up crafting supplies and gold as well.

Still, I've decided to go ahead and do 20 NM Andy runs just for the hell of it, and see what drops along the way. Could always use some decent charms and whatnot. But first, let's hit Radament and grab an extra skill point.



Gotta watch out for aura buddies. My last sorc I ran died first to to an Assailant (Extra Strong - Cursed - Fire Enchanted) that was also being buffed with Fanaticism from some other nearby unique.

You could say standing between these two to get a screenshot is unneccesarily dangerous, and you'd be correct.



No wonder this guy died down here. Akara gave him a garbo ring. Rip.



Almost a double Spirit base drop. The Great Sword has a Dex requirement that I'm not about to waste points on though.
