Although I haven't really found anything special so far, I still like doing p8 cows. They are nice xp, easy to manage even in mf gear (although since I'm looking for a base and runes, I don't have much equipped momentarily), and they could drop almost anything. Currently I'm looking for an ethereal 4socket Thresher/Giant thresher in which I'll make an Insight until I find another Ber for Infinity. I'll summarize the character status and my current goals soon.

Current stats and gear of the character can be found below. Included some item switches as well, the rest of the stash is full of craft materials, runes, and potential bases for the future (4 sock flail, 5 sock crystal, 4s eth armor, etc.). I also have 2 complete organsets and the following runes above Lem right now: 5 Puls, 1 Um, 1 Mal, 1 Ist, 1 Gul, 1 Ber. I could make a Hoto if I cubed 2 Puls/1 Um/1 Mal/1 Ist/1 Gul into a Vex, but it feels way too much of a waste to get rid of all those runes for a Hoto. The Mal/Ist alone will be required for both Infinity and CTA and I can use them up as soon as I find a Ber (and an eth T/GT) or an Ohm.

Going to keep farming P8 cows and P3 chaos for a while. Might also include some LK runs, some rerolling/crafting and an occasional TZ farm if it rolls a good area. I categorized my goals based on their impact on the gameplay.

High impact goals:
  • Infinity: missing a Ber rune and a 4s ethereal Tresher or Giant Thresher;
  • Call to Arms: missing an Ohm rune;
  • Death's web: might consider respecing to poison after ubers.

Medium impact goals:
  • Necromancer Torch: will need some other medium/high impact goals first to gain strength;
  • Fortitude: missing a Lo rune;
  • Hoto: missing a Gul or a Vex rune;
  • Shako
  • Soj: to summon Diablo clone for Annihilus

Low impact goals:
  • Any torch
  • Mara
  • Arach
  • Sojs
  • Andariel's visage
  • Summoning skillers
  • Mf/life/res/etc. small charms
  • Phys sunder charm

Yeah, the Jah rune from chaos was extremely lucky - even if it was a Cham or a Zod, I still wouldn't have an enigma unless I went back for another few thousand LK runs.


I'm currently running mostly chaos/cows/pits. I grew to like pits a lot more because the mobs are squishier so they make sense to farm even in high player counts, and there are lots of packs to pop.

Finally a TZ Chaos and had lots of sweet drops! I wonder if it would be considered cheating to mess around with the system time to force specific terror zones. I'd consider it cheating if I was doing a grail run, but it's a grey area this way. I might reconsider this at levels 95+.

Reached level 91 as well, steady progress. The Guill I might experiment around with for the merc when I'll do the ubers.

The gems were cluttering my stash again, so I rolled diablo GCs. I doubt I ever rerolled a 44 life skiller before, but I guess I had no use for this one on single player.
I kept the fhr/allres GC for now, even though I won't be using it, I might keep it around for ubers to stack res or something. The rest of the rolls were useless unfortunately.
