Travincal is actually quite big, i never knew that because i've bothered to fully explore it. The Council defeated!



Durance done, now it's time to say hello to Mephisto. Stygian Dolls are not scary right now, but these little fellas are going to be my act 3 arch-nemesis in nightmare and hell



You may have a full arsenal of nasty attacks brother, but i have decrepify, clay golem and the legendary Emilio to distort your reality!

And another one bites the dust



Heavenly boots, thank you Mephisto! I'm definitely using those



And at the end i cleared the rest of Mephisto's house, because that's what i do! Now i'm super excited about act 4, it shouldn't be tedious like 2 and 3, i'm still going to clear everything of course. Will see how it goes.

them boots could have been better if the cold res becoming fire resist. Diablo is the biggest pain in normal most of the time. Make sure U have some good fire resists when u get to him

Yes, Diablo is the first boss so far that actually scares me. Resistances are not an issue, i already maxed everything, i'm more worried about my skeletons and how they will perform against him.

1 fire ring wave will wipe out all skelles. It will be a battle of decrep,clay Golem, merc.

I see, then finding op weapon for Emilio will be my prime goal at the start of Act 4.

I have a question. You might have noticed this stupid sword in my stash... I got it somewhere in act 2 with the idea to use the socket quest on it to make spirit. But just minutes ago i read somewhere that swords from normal difficulty can't get 4 sockets. I knew that back when i started doing nothing but holy grail farming, now i completely forgot about it. Thank god i read that, because i would've totally wasted my socket quest. My question is - can a broad/crystal swords dropped by normal cows get the 4 sockets from the socket quest?

Swords from act 5 normal can socket quest for 4 sockets.. Or U could use the cube recipe on an act 5 sword and roll 1,2,3,4 sockets and save ur socket quest for something more useful later.
Cube recipe is Ral, Ann, perfect amtheist, normal weapon. (Cant be superior,cracked,crude, low quality, etc.)
Nothing before act 5 normal can get 4 sockets

Cows can give 4 socket swords i think, socket quest for 4 for sure.
But cows are hard compared to act 5 or maybe even nightmare blood more, cold plains

Even if you could get 4 sockets it would be a waste. Use the cube recipe to sock items.

Thanks for the help guys. I agree that using the quest on normal gear is a waste, but i really want to start Nightmare with a Spirit in my hand. The cube recipe is no guarantee and i don't know if i'll have the resources. I mean, what else can use the socket quest for, besides maybe adding more resistances if i need them? I'll be wearing a Lore and i hope to make Smoke or if i'm lucky, a Treachery, so i can't use socket quest on those. Unless i find something like Vipermagi or a Shako, that'll be a different story...
