Hit 29 this morning. And still am gaining experience from Smith so no level cap yet. Which all but confirms I will hit 30 prior to Act 2 unless I get really, really lucky.

Once I hit 30, I will respec into Frozen Orb, still putting a point in Telekinesis, Teleport, Warmth, Fire Bolt, Fire Ball, and Fire Mastery. Which leaves me 24 skill points. 5 prereqs for Orb, then a point in Orb + Mastery will leave me with 17 points. My plan is to save those so I can put a point in Orb + Mastery every new level.

AND THERE IT IS! We have completed The Smith!

Next up is good ol' Pitspawn Fouldog in the Jail and he drops a single item I need...The Nokozan Relic with 1:2745 odds. I am going to stop today and look into a run tracker so I can start getting actual run numbers in here. Think it will be cool to see how many it takes me.

The other thing I will mention is after Pitspawn is Bone Ash with a ton of items. I mentioned respec to Cold, but Bone Ash is immune so if I get to 30 prior to finishing Bone Ash, I won't respect until after he is done.

Cheers!

Update - I have a run tracker set up and ready to use. I'm probably going to take a little break from the grind, but might be back on Friday. If not then, for sure Monday.

Grats!

Also awesome to see you’ve started a run tracker. I think it will be cool to see how many runs it takes to complete each monster.

Current Monster: Pitspawn Fouldog
Runs Completed: 80
Current Item List
Nokozan Relic (amulet) - 1:2745

Ran a few runs this morning. Going to try this standard update template above. Will look better with longer item lists, since I will mark them off with the run they were found on. Short session today though but will get back in the groove through the week.
