VITH rune, gonna keep it for now as I might want to downgrade/upgrade it later for something. All the new runes with those new names, are above ZOD in the rune list.
Finding Vanilla's High Runes is quite common thing in late Normal Difficulty already.

First set item

Sadly, I have no use from this item as it's set for Throwing Barb, therefore I used disenchanted it into +1 stat.

Diablo action shot. Quite a mess.

Killed Diablo and proceeding towards Baal.

Found this jewel in my stash, so I'll use it on my merc weapon now.
My mercenary is a Shapeshifter, therefore his IAS only matters if it's on the weapon. Every other IAS on his eq is useless.

FPA Weapon Attack Speed
16 -9
15 6
13 24
11 46
10 74
8 112
6 166

15 ias jewel allows me to hit 74 ias breakpoint, aka 10 FPA

Good weapon as it casts Miasma quite often

Another useless set item. +1 stat


Saved anya, got scroll as a reward from Malah, so cubing it with SUNSTONE (charm from Normal difficulty), adds +10% elemental resistances to the charm

Pretty much shitty reward from Anya, but sadly, it's an upgrade to my current crap lol
Useless Nihl drops.


Progressing through Act5, I entered one of the Red Portals that can also be found in Vanilla D2. Abaddon I believe? Found a RIFTSTONE, which opens "Labs".

Killing boss on level 1 lab drops the same item for level 2, etc etc.
Labs have 15 levels if I'm not wrong and are considered one of the hardest game content.

Made SURYA runeword for merc as it has Eagle Stance. Think of it as an Aura.

However I didn't know it reduces the attack speed, so I'll have to get 2 more 15ias jewels for merc's weapon.

Finished Ancients in 30 seconds. No threat

1 death on Baal, which means I died 4 times so far. Mostly just random 1 shots I couldn't have prevented

Entering Hell on level 104.
That's where the fun starts.
There's more than 40 ubers, and they all drop special charms or items that get combined into a charm.
All of these ubers are in special levels which are not part of vanilla gameplay.
Ubers are separated by level your character needs to be in order to enter the area ubers are in.
Easiest ubers are level 105, and there's only few of them:

Butcher in Tristram, Infernal Machine in The Pit (act1), Riftwalker in Harem, and Death Projector in Swampy Pit (act3).


For other ubers you have to be level: 110, 115, 120, 125, 130.
