Decided to make this 1 a slight challenge instead of a straight run to farm NM Meph, Even tho it will end up being the same old farming for gear at NM Meph after completing 2 of 3 challenges....

3 Challenges:
1. In Normal mode I have to Find a SET AND UNIQUE item before moving on to the next act..
2. In Nightmare mode I have to use a CRAFTED item in every equipment spot from First monster entering NM to defeating NM Baal (Weapon, gloves,belt,rings,amulet,boots, armor, helmet, and Shield)
3. In Hell mode (INPUT YOUR OPINION OF A GOOD CHALLENGE) I had an ideal but I went blank, lmao

More challenges could be added if someone mentions some good ones..


FarZuk - Was going to be crafts only for hell mode but i decided every item being crafted would be too hard for my shit gaming skills. Name was based on Fara and Larzuk which are both blacksmiths.


Fire/Lite Res, MF is wonderful from normal act 1


Andy quest kill



I killed maybe 10 monster at the most to get the cube and then went back to act 1.. Going Holy Fire for normal Until act 4/5 when I switch to Holy Shock until Hell...
So now i have to find a Set and Unique before advancing to act 2

Using over top of steel


Had this on swap for a little bit but now its in the stash for a round or 2..


beserker helm, using

Artic belt - using (good cold res for duriel fight)


Beserker Weapon (on switch side gives nice bonus with helmet when my Unique Schimtar breaks during a fight i just switch over)


Ready to go into the palace, I'm hoping i remember to catch that poppable bed someone posted about to see what it could give.. Maybe making a couple trips down there to see if anything changes ???

Unique & Duriel down !!!



Adding a couple Challenges:

Hardcore Merc - When he dies he can not be revived, he has to be bought new and regeared. (Challenge is active for rest of Normal)

JuJu Challenge - If I Find a Shako in Nightmare I am forced to reskill into Hammerdin for Hell (Minimum of 25 Nightmare Nith & Baal Kills required)

ONWARD TO ACT 3 !!!

Maybe change the merc challenge to you must use the acts corresponding merc. A4 no merc will be used?

I actually thought about this exact part in the shower last night, lol.

If my merc died I had to buy the new 1 from the current act of progression.

Hardcore merc - revised to the part if he dies it has to be rebought in the current act of progression . (active only in normal still)

Maybe I can make it last some through nightmare if I feel up to it.

Awesome!

I'm working on my first walkthrough at work. May post it here, may not. Gl man!

Act 3 unique

Unique & set collected for act 3 !!!
