I feel you... i've lost a zealer right before i started this assassin. I just wanted to hit hell asap and this character was a breeze to get up to there!
The struggle is different from a at this point tho... But i've been blessed by the RNG so far :thumbsup:





Found the path to the summoner to collect at least 3 keys... Ubers on P8 doable for Sin?





Best base so far for infinity :cry:





Some Sin gear along the way..

If this turned out 4'os, i might of flinched and do infi into it...
...but it wasn't meant to be.





I still upgraded my merc gear with the recent bases i've found...





Superior...
Ethereal...

and 1os again <_<

Went back to my sweet home, Lower Kurast, and found these!





GUL Rune!
My first one! Only Jah and Zod remaining on the rune bucket list :P





Oh! New contender for the Fort base armor... Stashed!

Haha yeah started it yesterday and am already doing LK runs, very grindy and haven't gotten any drops yet but am hopeful.. Do you use MF or does MF affect the drops at all?

iirc, MF does NOT affect the drops for chest and poppables...

As for my sin, i run with the lowest mf possible.
This way, when i do some arcane or else, i have much better chance at white base for infinity, fort, enigma & spirit(monarch).




These weren't worth showing alone... here's a mashup.





Another SUR Rune
Decided to make some cleanup... i now officially have the Bers for Infinity :)





This is an example of why i hold onto my runes for now before making Fortitude... but with 4os obviously.
I think i'll use anything 750def or + and fyi, perfect is 775. If luck hits, i've i could also find some sweet superior eth which could lead up to 891 def :drool:

I always feel like this spiderweb sash could drop as Arach at some point...

But is it actually possible? or does rack follow the Alvl?
And this rack is the one dropping Balrog Skin so... same question goes for Arkaine's Valor.

I'd be surprise they can drop them... otherwise, i should have found many Arkaine's already :P





Another Gul Rune :rolleyes:





Found a new Ist rune so, i've cleaned up a bit more.

Here's a peek at my current Rune stash :blush:

First: your uploads and pics are so clean. Sweet WT!

Second: you're crushing it with all those nasty rune drops. Nice!

Third: I want you to get that 4os ethereal pole arm. Have you tried all those weapon stands that are always in the same spot? Durance lvl 3, Tower Cellar lvl 5? Please excuse me if I’m way off here- Maybe you should smack d and baal, try p8 hell cows and keep your MF at zero?

Sad Bonus: That spiderweb sash can never be unique off the armor rack and ogre axes have maximum open sockets of 3.

Happy bonus: could I please pay you to upload pictures so I could post a walkthrough? I’m only 3/4ths joking.

Good luck man!!! Keep it up.

Hahaha... thank you so much for this post :hug:
It never crossed my mind to look up that ogre axe maximum sockets :wacko:

For the racks, i did try other racks here and there but i go back to Lk rapidly.
Anway, i'll just get a higher def ethereal Balrog 4'os and then, i'll try to farm a rack in lk so i can still find moarrr runes too :drool:



so... update time?




Gotcha! B)
That'll do...
...Time to chase some Infinity rack now.





So while farming a rack in Lk, i stopped by nightmare Larzuk socket's for Shaggo

B) - B) - B)





At first, i thought the rack had to be entered from the bottom of the map.
But it was actually the easiest way!
(skipping 2nd camp)
And monsters in the area mostly affect the armor rack only, so i get plenty of Cryptic Axe :banana:






And even if that armor rack is mostly vambraces... i see way too many Balrog Skin once again
This must be like, my sixth Sazabi armor :lol:
