I got Sabertooth on my first run in my preferred farming location, near Chang'an. I decided to keep running the area for a while, to see if i can get one with extra physical damage



Just a few runs later, i get this one, with way more attack speed than i need (i was already only 2% below the 222% cap).



It's a good thing i got mine, because i would've been furious if this dropped earlier

Anothir MI i was hoping to get... too bad it doesn't have the Juggernaut or the Mountaineer affix. I'm still going to use it, i will lose DPS but i need to raise survivability



I made the mistake of using this sword and swapping my valor of Achilles from the previous one...



Because a run or two later, i get the physical damage bonus. I wasted more than 3 million gold to swap the damn weapon relic

The Dragonians were no issue, i'm quite tanky now



The scary demon bull. He didn't do the nasty vitality attack, that the tq wiki warns about one shotting players.



From the quest, i get a new ring that i'm going to use. I would prefer a physical bonus, but that'll do.

My game crashed in Wusao Mountain... i don't know what is with this dungeon, but it doesn't run well, which is weird, because i never had any problems there before.



Time to see how much of a challenge Typhon is...

He was okay, it was a fairly quick kill. I use the Battle Marker shrine and my Colossus form separately, and it was more effective. I think i can afford to kill him a few more times



I got some epics, even a few good pieces that i stashed, because i can't use any of them now, without sacrificing resistances



I will use this ring though

Another nice ring, that will improve survivability. I did a few more runs after that with no success, so i'm moving to act 4 now.

Act 4 underway



This rolled well, but i don't want to lose elemental resistance. Stashed for now



In act 4 greater recipes start to drop... but not the ones i'm going to need. I experienced another crash in the meantime, and decided to play in legacy mode which brings the game to its vanilla look as far as i know, and makes the fonts and numbers for stats and weapon thinner and uglier. I don't know if it's going to solve the problem, but all my previous characters were played this way and i had no problems there.

I hate ghosts, the toughest bastards for a physical damage melee character



Nothing good from the first treasure quest in this act

Finally, got the synergy of Aura of Tranquility, now it's time to max both skills. I don't know if i'll climb the trees beyond their tier 32. I'm not all that interested in the tier 40 skills. One of them is okay, the "Chi something one", but it will be useful only on bosses, and i probably won't have the spare points to develop it. There are other skills in this mastery that i want to max.



Entering the Underworld

It's weird... i'm encountering so many unusual spawns of monsters around all acts.... LIke this place here spawn a hero grandmaster archer, which is only one of the most dangerous enemies in the act. Thank god it's only one. But the skeleton liches and the archers are out of place here. Looks like the developers wanted to add more variety and surprises in the environments.



This will be my new leg armor, enough with that set from act 1



Dealt with Cerberus easily
