Okay, never played D2r or D3 etc. Crap PC (1 gb) and bought in 2010 or 2011. Still has a 3.2 Windows rating.

Seen "Grail Run" posted a lot in PvM, and TZ or Terror Zones in guides, I am guessing it is based on D2r etc.

Since I am a LoD only player, I play certain areas like Hell Pits, River (I start from the beginning 2nd wp) to Chaos Sanctuary, Pits of Archeron (it is a lvl 83 are, not 85), Worldstone level 1-3 and Throne. for level 85+ areas. Character dependent I would do other areas like Mausoleum or Crypt or the trap door in Lost City? ... could these be referred as TZ for LoD, or is it referring to areas like Uber Durial, Uber Izual and Uber Lillith with Uber Tristram?

Or areas for key hunting?

Thanks in advance.

Wow... thanks.

So could I make an 1.09 Grail run (LoD) based on separate Patches?
#1: Before Synergies and 1.10 Runewords.
#2: Including Synergies and 1.10 Runewords.
#3: Including Synergies excluding 1.10 Runewords.

For example?

So this would mean to find every:

#1: Unique item
#2: Set Item (Full Sets)
#3: Higher than 175 Poison Damage Small Charms (Note: I have found a 271 psn dmg SC in 1.09 online)
#4: Make every Runeword available to that Patch.
#5: Find every rune (Note: can you cube runes upwards as to complete this faster?)

The list goes on... like every Normal, Exceptional & Elite item BASE. Max Sockets or Ethereal. Oh, this would also include items like Skulders Ire... find one Ethereal and another one Non Ethereal... includes other items as well.

What about making certain items to create the Invincible Barb... forgot the items or patch where they take no damage and if I remember correctly it has something to do with the Unique item Flamebellow?

Oh the list can go on, so how are these PvM SP Grail runs doing so far????

EDIT: I meant to say a 471 psn dmg SC, not 271 as they are more common in 1.09 patch.
