Maybe. I've done 40+ dungeons today tho and havent seen a white bag myself. But whether or not the new droprate stays or they revert it back to what it was, I'll be spending my time mostly in UDL/OT until I get one of the bows. I dont think I can tomb without one of them. Good thing I like UDL

Full update coming later today.

Dem 15's and 20's. You have the patience of a saint.

/e: Great progress though kake. That csilk was such a nice snag.

Fucking beautiful bro, gz on the progress so far.

I'll resume once I get home, I've been in Denver for work all week

Well past due for a full update, so here it is The delay was due to me staying up too late the other night trying to farm my ass off with the new drop rates. So keep in mind the time played is over a two day period.

So ya, about that new drop rate. Let me explain how it feels to me. Think back to Diablo 2 ladder resets. You and your buddies all starting fresh, excited to go out and find some good items. Couple days go by and your friends are like, "Another Shako! Woo! And that was after finding a Stormshield, Occy, Vex rune, 2x pally combat charms, and 3 shakos the day before! Even got an Ist off of my forge. Haha this is awesome!" And they ask you, "Hey man what did you find?" With a low voice you reply, "Manald ring, 4 socket crystal sword, martial arts grand charm, low resistance vipermagi, a few pgems, and my hell forge dropped Lum." Thats how I've been feeling the past two days lol. I know Im not the only one who isnt seeing white bags, but seems as though a lot of people are finding them back to back.

Buuuuut enough bitching, Im still making good progress. Like I posted before I got my first item on my ultimate wish list, so thats pretty cool. I also hit 5/8 fairly easily now that godlands is dropping attack again. Im closing in on maxing Vitality, but Im trying not to spend time doing anything but UDL/OT for now. Until I get one of the UT bows, I cant step foot in another tomb. Not only is it a pain to do that place with a tripple shot bow because of it possibly messing up the fight, but my little gbow, with all its might, wont be able to do enough damage to get a life pot anyway.

I was trying to skip Oryx runs, even choosing to UDL over known WC servers, but I couldnt help doing a few. The last thing I did in the game before logging off and editing my picture was a WC. Check out the sweet loot below Was tempted to keep playing, thinking my luck had finally turned around, but its way too late already. I'll have to try my luck with getting a doom bow tomorrow.

Oh ya, compare the amount of fame I had last full update to this one. I definitely wasnt slacking.

Nothing to update tonight really. Put another three hours into all UDL and nothing to show but wisdom. I've gotten so much wisdom I just rolled a knight to clear room in my vault. In fact I've now fully maxed four characters wisdom and still have plenty of wisdom to spare. I could max a fifth if I had another character slot.

My fame is still climbing along nicely at least. Somewhere in the 1500+ range. More UDL to come tomorrow. As soon as I get the doom bow I'll start server hopping for Hermits and also go back to doing other places just for fun like haunted cemetery, abyss, etc.

So here is a long overdue update.

I've been pretty inconsistent with my playing time over the past week and a half. I was on business travel in Colorado and my internet connection at the hotel was really choppy during peak hours when I could play so I had to not play my weak NPE as much and play a lot of little sessions at times when my connection was good.

Before I left for Colorado Kake helped me do a ton of snake pits and in a few hours we managed to nearly max my speed! I finished up the snake pit runs and finished up the last 4 sprite worlds I need to max dex so I am officially 2/8 now.

The rest of the pots have been a slow grind. The defs and atts I have mainly been able to obtain from realm bosses in groups where I can get my SB dmg pretty easy with the warrior boost and occassionally hugging a group and running out when I see a tree/eyeball/pink guy to do my best to try to get a def or att pot. I have done a few UDLs with friends and managed to get some wis, but all in all they are kinda a pain in my ass cuz of the slimes.

I try to do as many crystals as I possibly can in the attempt to get a csword which would help me a great deal with the added range. In the process I have been able to secure a few more vit though and various other pots from crystals.

LoLL in big groups seems pretty easy for me to get SB dmg in and get a pot drop as well.

I have one new gear update which I am pretty excited about. I managed to snag a t5 ninja star and a t5 warrior helm in the same bag from the final boss in cememtary so that's a pretty cool upgrade for me.

Oh shit man nice T5 helm.

gold weapon
gold helm
gold ring

Boom- a couple upgrades for me so far tonight.

Snapped this out of a cemetary



And until my def is maxed this should be more useful a ring than para hp

Hell ya TJ nice finds. Glad you are back home owning it up with the warrior.

As for my update I still dont have anything to show. I put in just under 4 hours of game time, but I actually wasnt able to find a lot of UDLs tonight. Did maybe 12 solo and another 6 or so with others. I also did a few Cemetery, Trench, and Oryx runs to break up the UDL hunt. Sorry for the boring updates, but I'm really trying to take advantage of the increased drop rates while they last and doom bow seems like the best target to go for. Ya know I did actually find a white bag the other night and I should have taken a picture, but it was just a treasure from an abyss. Because they dont have a use right now it felt like a junk bag and I looted it before taking the screenshot.

I'm not giving up tho, very determined. If anyone remembers this clip from Wayne's World its exactly how I feel about the bow.

Put in another long session last night and this morning and made some decent progress.

I have done A LOT of cemetaries. They are good for pots and items. It's only a matter of time before I get gear upgrades. I have been finding good gear for every class but mine. And in the last 2 days I have gotten 5 ammys

I've done several O1 as well. As a warrior there is a good chance I'll get at least 1 def from a guard and I'll for sure get SB dmg in on O1 and roll the dice at a chance for gear upgrades.

I have mainly been eventing now since I'm a little better and it's easy to get SB with warrior so pots are coming nicely.

I got one gear upgrade as you can see from the pic below.

It shouldn't be long until I'm 4/8 with maxed defense and wisdom. The attack and vit will take me a while longer.
