I don't want to compete. I want to complete the challenge of getting to alchemist.
I've been playing for almost a month already. I have a job, 2 kids, and a small farm lol.
I have plenty of ways to get 100s of thousands of FG. I also lean towards the "sunk cost fallacy" and will subject myself to ritual abusive behaviors just so the money I spent was seemingly that much more worth it.
I know I'm not going to be able to reset the ladder against guilds that have years of pre-planned experience and decide when/what they want things to be but I'll be damned if I'm not going to try to enjoy the little bit of spare time I have to spend on JSP and it's browser game.
I don't have the time to play D2R to farm HRs and all that. Impossible to get scammed out of my FG on LS as the MP is the point way I can buy high end stuff that I can always resell for a discount and recoup my losses.
You're thinking of LS in a whole different way than I am.

I cant remember how long ive been playing now, only a few years at best, but ive yet to make it to Alchy lol. And there was a time when i was doing a BOATLOAD of climbs a day. Its not just about how many climbs you can get, but how lucky you get with the keys opening doors. Pretty sure no one REALLY knows how the chance to open doors even works. Fun shit lol

What he means is getting to alchemist unless you’re either very lucky or doing 3 mqs a day is very unlikely before the ladder resets.

When someone passes the mq as alchemist everyone will start back over on the first class. So you’re in a race to get through the classes whether you want to be or not :D

Think you are better off with HC in this case, there aren't many players that group up, nor is there an abundance of items. You basically use more Vita because you don't want to die and lose gear. You can take your time and enjoy how you want to play.

Oh, I would suggest at least spending like 1fg on one(1) Tier III item with like 170+ Max life, will easily get to level 10 when you have spent points into vita from start. But I am sure you will work out what you require as the Mechanics are the same, just a different approach to not dying... basically exit cata around 50% hit points unless you have good heals / int etc.

Already done this lol. Started a fighter in HC and found a T3 armor with 208 life amd life regen.
Level 5 earth with 11 vit, 2 magic luck, and life per attack

Yes I know. That's why I'll always be hooked. The challenge of getting to alchemist will forever be there for me
D2R I got a could lucky drops in first 3 weeks and I could literally farm the whole game.

Great! I strongly suggest you to play HC, it is so much more interesting and challenging. And we do not have every second sunday reset

Actually previous reset was after 5 years

I definitely think HC is the way to go for you, if your endgame goal is to see how far you can "pass/graduate your character class" before a reset.

there are enough players on hc that i know have a hoarde of gear muled ft. hardest part you may encounter is a "MQ" weapon with an acceptable amount of ee on it.

as per character class to start feeder level with, myself; i prefer rogue as it can use most gear available, TD detection, and stat wise pretty well balanced.

as most others have mentioned. primary gearsets that will get you from feeder to alch are moreso sought after, so they come with the price tag as well.

axes/dags
scales/padded robes - ee
light/wild dex charms
light/wild ee charms
padded robes/staves - int gear

...on HC should you choose to chase after axes and dags, id suggest dumping all stat points into vit until it hits 100. from there everything else should be allocated into dex. ee weapon and armor with life per action/kill helps a lot, and your primary charm should have dex. sides with +life, life per action/kill, are nice too.

as an example: my lvl 40 setup i currently have on my samaurai.

~~Mystical diamond dagger
Level Req: 40
Damage: 187 to 328

+113% Enhanced Effect
+5% Armor Pierce
-1% Mana Consumption

~~Magical fossilized scale armor
Level Req: 40
Physical Defense: 57 to 230
Magical Defense: 29 to 88

+154% Enhanced Effect

~~Mystical lightning X
Level Req: 35
Spell Damage: 10 to 105
Mana Cost: 77

+34 Dexterity
+9 Vitality
+1 to 4 Life per Kill

~~Rare wild heal XI
Level Req: 40
Heals: 25 to 259
Mana Cost: 85

+125% Enhanced Effect
+5% Critical Flux

now.. if you do not plan to fund purchasing fg to get the gear you need, some may advise to get a "magic luck" gear set for "welling". ive been playing for aproximately 8 years, ive purchased fg once. short of that ive been primarily self funded solely through LS. it hasnt been easy, and its not a short road to travel so to speak. i recently had a rip on hc, loosing an estimated 15-25k fg in mq gear

I hope to see you on HC soon, gl, slash safe
