Hello,
Was quite a while since I have played Diablo 2, I think last time I have really played the game was around 2012-13 (not counting a few ladders back when I got a taxi and never played the character again).
The idea is to recreate my first character I got to at least level 80 (ele druid), it was back when I was in an elementary school, when I began playing Diablo 2.
Even used my old nickname from that time (same as here).

Rules:
Hardcore, so dead is dead
/players 8 (all times, with a possibility to do reruns on lower)
Ladder runewords via .txt (although, I have not activated it yet)
No mods

Goals:
(Primary) Have fun and relive the feeling
(Secondary) Bring ball on hell to his knees
(Secondary) Get torch?

Due to my long absent from the game, I might be dead sooner than I think
I do not have much free time lately, but I will try to post at least once a day or two.

So lets begin (already got level 12 in the last hour, wanted to ding some level before posting, in case I died during akaras' quest :D)


Pretty nice starting weapon, it was supposed to be an elemental druid, but began adding points to crow and vine


First quest completed, did a few more reruns of the cave after that with a mediocre rare boots being the best drop. (got level 10 before even killing a single monster in cold plains or beyond). Edit: wrong screenshot

The elemental druid is broken, level 10 and I have allocated all my points into summoning. I guess I am really recreating my first character (allocate willy-nilly breaking the character), at least nowadays Akara offers a reset.


Gambled some nice sword, too bad I am missing some strength for now.


Seriously, two keys, some gold and a gas potion? U should be ashamed raven.


Ok, so the screenshot I have taken before creating the topic are already posted. Time to play some more.

First wolf head, let it be something nice.


I guess rng shows me a big dangling middle finger.


I am about to stay a while and listen.

u wont be able to get torch without mods.
good luck with everything else

Thanks About the torch I have suspected so, that's why I have added the question mark, I might not be even alive by hell

Cain is finally by the fire in rogue encampment.
After killing Griswold, I thought he is in a conspiracy with a raven, but wait, is it a second wolf head?


Yey, since I am apparently putting skill points everywhere except elemental, it is good enough helmet.


Countness was robbed of a few runes, got tal, tir, 2x ral and nef.

Did another countess run and got Arctic Furs in 3rd level of the cellar, another one dropped in the same game in pit level 1.


What are the chances of getting the same roll in a single game?




No mods rule, specifically no extended, might be a problem, since I am a kinda digital hoarder

Finally eth rune, stealth, here I come.


Yey, first runeword. Crafted stealth in a crappy base, so I guess the arctic furs are Akaras feed.


Crafted nadir in a +2 werewolf helmet as well.

looks funny, good luck

Thanks, it is

Gambled pretty nice bow for my merc, at least it is better than what she had before - magic bow 2-6 dmg (if not mistaken).


Jackpot! That is a great map for andy runs, both level 2 and level 3.
