Countess:


I was hoping for a stealthy rune, but it wasn't to be. No re-runs until needed = no stealth for now.


The amulet was an upgrade though:




As was another ring I picked up on the way:

Imbue:


Yeah, I imbued the second white diadem that torch found. Imbues are usually a waste anyway. This way it gives Penelope a reason to collect pSkulls, making inventory management that much harder. Let's see how it goes...


Gear updates from on the way through jail and catacombs:

Fire:


Lightning:


Cold:


I used my restat already as I didn't think I needed shiver armor once I was no longer melee - This might be very wrong. ISO advice.

Cubes are good, so I got me one:



A2 was full of low rune drops compared to A1.

Trying to cube a new weapon for merc:

80 dex = fail.

This is the best recipe though! So cheap! You can just buy the ingredients at a vendor for the most part. any belt, any diamond, a staff, and a kris!

Too bad I cubed my diamond chippies after I found the cube. I wasn't thinking about this recipe at the time.




A new shield!

Staff:



That bone wand in the above screen is my new weapon because of the +3 to mana after each kill.




At this point I decide to MF in the ancient tunnels, because I found the door first, and I've skipped that place every other time recently. I was pretty happy I made the excursion because it was here that Penelope got her first unique drop the entire walk!

At this point I still have 0 mf, and this drop came from a normal monster. Pretty sweet! Still waiting for the first set drop :p

It was a nagel, ofc.


I'm sacrificing some FCR for MF. With the rate at which I run out of mana this is actually good thing.

A new amulet:


Tried another Savage polearm recipe:


That's better!
