I played all night and finished a solo climb on my Hardcore Samurai for the first time.

So close to unlocking Paladin. Went middle key and door opened. But the right key exploded.
If I had went middle, left and right key I would've been playing a Paladin for the first time. Ah!!

Anyway. Back to Guardian for fun and no stress. Samurai looks like it can dominate with the right end-game gear.
I had gotten from Level 35 to 73 with a Level 35 sword with 72% EE. LOL. I wouldn't recommend doing that guys.
The stress it was causing me was insane. I thought I'd die but my healing ability gave me every chance to evade death.

I'm so thankful and happy for the experience. I got the most out of that overpriced sword. It was the little sword that could.
Never leveled a Sword before and I got halfway to Rank 3. Anyway now I want to level up some heavy weapons a little more.

I'd like to start swinging a Club again as that's what I'm the best at on Hardcore. Rank 27 Club with Rank 26 Heal charm. #1 for both proficiencies.

No me. I'm #1

I'm feeling eager to see what the new bonus event is tomorrow morning at 8 AM.
I've been making a strong push to level up again for Club Proficiency on Hardcore.
26671/28000 and 95.25% of the way closer to Rank 28. It's been an amazing journey.

Kills: 500,000
Deaths: 0

I finally reached half a million kills on Hardcore Ladder Slasher. All solo kills as well.

Maybe late Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning I'll be back to playing.

When I first started I felt weak and thought I'd die well before 10,000 kills. But I kept believing and kept playing.

You forgot to add the newest bonus event from this morning?
I've been resting a little more lately and splitting time with D2R.

Bonus Event in progress for 2 days, 13 hours:
No Trapdoors
+50% More Items From Chests
+66.67% Evil Well Longevity
26.58% Faster Fishing
+70% Suffusencing Enhanced Effect

I'm still going strong on Hardcore Ladder Slasher.

Event spent the rest of my Forum Gold on some items.

My goals are to reach Rank 30 Club (28 now). Rank 30 Heal (27 within my sights). It's doable I feel.
I have the #1 spot for both proficiencies on Hardcore. #2 Polearm. I desire #1 in Polearm over time.
Eventually I think I can chase #1 for Spear, Warhammer, Battleaxe and Longsword. Likely Longsword first.

I have a big orange male cat named Garfield. Sometimes he sits on my keyboard, or worse, the PC chair I have.
When he sits down on my chair I simply can't Ladder Slash. He'll bite or scratch me if I try to lift him off the chair.
And when he's on my keyboard I can still play Hardcore Ladder Slasher. I just use the mouse more often. LOL

I forgot how expensive Ladder Slasher is though. Bought three more items on my last two climbs.

Back to 0.00 Forum Gold. But this time I plan to slowly build up. No more gambling. Only gains from now on.

I need to focus and reach Rank 7 Polearm on my next climb. I've been stuck at Rank 6 forever. Rank 9 is #1 spot.
But I only use Polearms from Level 10 to 25 on my climbs. Not much of a chance to level it up. I may go to Level 40.

It's the 107%EE Longsword with several stats on it that I found at Level 25. Hard for me not to use that powerful He-Man Masters of the Universe sword.
