This guild is full of fail!!!
But only in the master quest passing department...

I figure I can't get mad till I'm 0/6, then I'm entitled to get pissed about not passing.

I'll add my own grumblings to the mix:

6 mules now, all got +1 EES on maze completion.

+2 fdf

176 ee 55 sowrd dropped and i missed it

Doh! Nice sword.

Man.. soloing a low-mid level mage with 10 starting stats is a real biotch... I just can't find a combination that I'm satisfied with.

Gear with lower int and max mana combined with ee robes and the attack charm in acc seems to be the best bet.. but I think it feels slower. Tried some other options and have to go back to that now to see. Pure int gear just doesn't feel safe to explore. I figure I need at LEAST 70 vit to try solo exploring with an int armor on. That's lvl 40 before I can put my first stat in int, significantly crippling my mana pool and dmg.

It'll realy bug me if the best bet overall is to melee him to 40 before I start casting.

+2 fdf really not used to failing on a feeder, don't think ever took me more than 3 on one.

on a side note though cute drop

agical ultimanium axe
Level Req: 55
Damage: 113 to 136

+47 Intelligence

seen you have a collection of hc heavy caster stuff ed so if you want it it's your free of charge.

Nice find!

Thanks much mate, I'm all good though. Got swords to cover that role and I don't have lightnings to use it with HH. I'm actually trying to unload some extra heavy caster gear right now - doesn't seem to be any interest so it's probably going back on the mule. Let me know if you want to use that axe to start building a set and I'll toss some useful bits over for you to use.

Ok, here's an example of an item that has all the right ideas and not enough follow through on any of them:

Arcane fine alloy sword
Level Req: 20
Damage: 9 to 92

+3% Enhanced Effect
+11 Intelligence
+58 Max Life
+200 Max Mana
+1 to 5 Life per Kill
+9% Heal Mastery

Ug.

I think terry has a mediocre light set he'd let you borrow
