Hello and welcome to a project that was just birthed in response to participating in the "Farmathon" event.

This topic will contain screenshots of my leveling and gearing process until the event starts at April 17th, along with some thoughts and tips for those of you who have yet to complete the game on hardcore mode.

I did not decide to make this topic until I was level 5, so there is a few levels missing. I will do the hole WT on /players 8.



Completed the Den. Found an interesting Scepter I can use to hit some minions with.



Needed 36 strenght to equip a 3os Ring Mail. These can be shopped from Charsi. Also bought a 2os Skull Cap. I plan to put chipped Topaz' in these. At level 7 I bought a Belt (3 rows of potion) to minimize trips to Town.



A screenshot of the Sorceress.

Shopped these 2 Wands. Dim Vision is useful throughout the entire leveling proces when I encounter some nasty ranged packs.
Weaken will decrease target damage by 33%. Quite useful to keep Mercenary alive later on

Cain got rescued for the 117th time - I'm beginning to think he might actually like being caged?



Gambled these nice mf/fr gloves! The affix "of Chance" becomes available on boots and gloves at clvl 12 (6-15%mf).



Gambled a Bone shield. Best shield for a while. These become available through gambling at clvl 15.

Killed the Smith. Even with my sparsely ~30 vitality at that point he hardly did any damage to me. Weaken-Wand is nice!



My first set item found.



Killed Andariel. Was not a hard task

Found a unique ring



Was a Nagelring. Useable.



Gambled these nice pair of boots.

Currently at 110%mf

When I went to Act II I gambled a Pike for my mercenary. These become available at clvl 20 through gambling and are by far the best weapon for a long time.



Bought a Deflecting shield from Drognan



Currently at 75% block.

Good luck!
I may track my sorceress up until the event in her own thread as well.

Radament killed. +1 skills is always welcomed!



Found a unique ring again.



28%mf Nagelring. Not bad

I went looking for a plated belt when I hit level 23 and decided to buy a Circlet. Was a pretty nice upgrade to be honest MAEK rocks



Found a plated belt after a few minutes. These become available at clvl 23. It is a good idea to buy them since you can hold 4 rows of potions.



The staff is now assembled.

Good luck!
