Well buffcore is playing only self found 100%.
I've made lots of fg from it but in the spirit and sport/challenge you don't use it. But there is fg to be made.

You dont start a d2 char and instantly find a soj.

You keep changing the contingent issue. I don't expect to find a SOJ.. or a 10,000 FG item. I expect to be able to progress through the basic elements of the game without dumping my life savings.

Roll a new char, and spend 50 fg and let me know how your 1-MQ goes... then roll a character on d2 and spend fg, and let me know how baal goes.

As I said. I have rolled a new char lol and haven't spent a single fg on him. And from trying to store white items on the market at 19
98 (no cost to me) I've accidentally made fg.

Now looking at the market. I know I could have a 70-80ee mq weapon if I spent that fg. From nothing.
You seem like the type of dude that has to walk somewhere. But won't cuz its raining

Explore maze and whistle to lvl 10.

I then start a random lvl 10 map to get hack the horde out of the way asap. It will spawn at lvl 13-14. I will then abandon the map and continue whistling to lvl 25.

At lvl 25 I will start a lvl 5-10(preferably) map with 6+ eps to bang out treasure pest. You need to activate easy mode a little bit after you have explored half of the map to get it.

I then fill my vault with cast gear for sneaky to have it ready for when he spawns. The remaining objectives will spawn automatically if you get hack the horde and treasure pest out of the way(it can at times take forever to get them to spawn so I prefer to force spawn them early on)

Explore from level 30+. What I do from that point on very much depends on the current event.

Abilities:
Lvl 1-15 twohitback or double strike. (All points in one, not both)
Lvl 20 start adding points in salvation until it hits 51% then back to dmg dealing abilities (twohitback and double strike)

Stats:
I usually start off with getting 80 vita followed by 30 int then dex. I might raise my vita to 85-90 towards the end(this is excluding the vita you gain from sneaky).

I usually go for stat gear at 55+, it’s kind of easier to do that when you have very good gear. Not sure how well it works with average gear :P embrace the fine art of taking damage and your solo climbs will become much easier :thumbsup:

Oh and I start using regen gear at around lvl 70. Only need it during 3 x eps waves to drain their heals.

Mildly ignorant? its equally ignorant to assume people want to join a guild in order to do basic activities in the game like MQ :) and while my tone my sound intense, I mean that sincerely. Also you can lay off the personal attacks and assumptions about my mens rea. I don't have a problem that needs solving.

Take my pepsi challenge, roll a new character, don't use any guild support or friends list, and use the market and build a character that can solo climb efficiently on a budget. I hope you like MQing with a 35 sword :D

I got a ton of daggers on these chars. If you’d like to tell me the ones you’d like prices for, I can do that. Or another way, you can tell me your dagger budget and I can put a list together for you.

Daggers:

you posted a topic "iso mq weapon"?
i know szsz has like 200 level 45-55 daggers with 100ee on them
im sure you can get one fairly cheap
hell i checked the market and someone was selling a 150ee level 50 dagger for like 2k?
a 100 ee tank armor, 30+ dex charm and 120 ee weapon will easily solo you to mq

Why put points into int? Does salvation depend on int at all? Is stat gear just armor/charms with dex, or with EE?

Genuinely curious since I’m a bit of a noob still. I’ve been going to 75 vit, then rest into dex since I use daggers. I use a dex charm and dex armor. I do have some EE padded robes though. I’m currently level 45, do you think it’s too late to invest in salvation?
