Sadistic achievement unlock

E: and knowing rex he probably has, and is the one person to do it so he holds the achievement

And rex that charter bit looks good, I'll tweak it some and paste it back here once I get my laptop. Left it in the office and I'm not gonna try and do word processing on this damn cell phone lol

To be honest, I haven't FULLY done this without EE on an item or two at Higher levels... think the lowest EE was 13% on a 45 (Tier XII) Warhammer to Master Quest... think I gave that to one of the older members to get them through the hard times...

However, I am thinking of doing this with a Softcore toon that starts out fresh... of course the "No Death" rule will be applied It won't be Self Found either, search the MP for junk items cheap as fudge ... oh... fudge isn't that cheap, maybe Sugar??? or Icing Sugar to sweeten the run(s).

Thus, I think I will work on this for the next 3 days after I get my HC toon to 55+ (depending on the Catacomb exploring).

Hmm, still in same cata... got 3 EPs and have not switched gear, so, I may die...

EDIT: Currently level 55 (and 55+ is EP spawned).
Using 40 Scale (0% EE but +47 Str), Level 15 Wild Heal as main (+30 Str), level 30 Battle Axe (86% ee) and level 35 Heal charm in ACC slot (125% ee).

Not using my 55 BA / Focus Heal (ACC) / Str/Mana Main Charm ... I need better Armor for my BARBARIAN... yup... not a Guardian...

#2 EDIT: maybe it is easier than I thought...

#3 EDIT: yup, too easy sorry,

#4 EDIT: Well... Murphy is about to happen... basically I am still in the same catacomb and nearing completion, however, Sneaky will appear soon killing any chances of completing this cata for a Map.. or a Trap door... which one will appear first?

Could not EDIT: So close to clearing the catacomb (HC) ... now, I am guessing I won't be able to explain the next action unless I post the prntscrn:

https://prnt.sc/WWwQ0n7-Ah4T

Emblem... hmm... TD or Well? (idgaf about the other of course).

EDIT: wtfudge... a Well... even though I cleared the other Well in the same cata... so 2 well cata again...

https://prnt.sc/8KdXOfXA_y2j

#2 EDIT: Wow... what to do: https://prnt.sc/vxex5EXf_cqc

2 Wells, 1 unexplored square at my level 58 and what Tier map will drop? vs asking for someone to hold game (since I don't have a Vault) and transfer Whites to put in to the 2 wells available, then after they disperse (if they do) ... clear the catacomb for map ... or if the Well(s) do not disperse... spin next to it hunting whites to put in the Well until Master Quest???

Options are great... I will just go to town first, fill up my hit points, go back down, clear the last unexplored square and make my way to the Well(s) without killing mobs and do what is suggested above... spin for whites to MQ and drop in wells etc.

ADD EDIT: this is the map dropped... not crap other than the Tier and Quantity: Mystical tanned volcano map, +7 Evil Presences, +96% Warm Light Effectiveness, Quantity: 2

dang... still in same cata and currently level 60 and still have 2 wells in cata... just spinning in a circle to spawn monsters and NOT using Whistle (whistle only spawns max level 60 mobs only) ... spinning on the spot spawns 60 to 62 max... so I should have better luck with drop quality... just speculation.

EDIT: at least I can get max prof for healing with a base 30 int on my Barbarian per wave...

#2 EDIT: sweet... all wells cleared and level 61... time consuming, but gained a ton of heal profs...

wow... I decided to scope the SC market for my test run to MQ without EE equipment and saw the prices of crap items on MP:

https://prnt.sc/naT_jRrOowVg

The Mythical Tier III in chat logs is listed @ 10 forum gold, the Arcane Tier III is listed @ 51 forum gold... what the fudge-sickle?

Right... bought these items for my Test2 character (Guardian) using 0 (zero) Enhanced Effect items:

https://prnt.sc/7yu7reJ9IBW9

Since I don't have Vault or EES gear, I have to run from level 1 to X level, I will transfer the items off to the other 2 SC toons Test and Test1 when I switch out.

Oh... the cost of the items... total: 14 forum gold (as off gold logs)
