I can offer some suggestions on mule hierarchy. When playing Single Player pre-ATMA, I had to store everything on mules. I originally went by Uniques, Sets, Rares/Good stuff. Then that got too bulky, and I had to tweak. And tweak, and tweak. The best that I came up with was to have an individual mule for each set, a mule for each unique item type (normal unique swords mule, exc. unique swords mule, elite unique swords mule, etc.).
Not having played on the realms, I’m not sure how convenient that would be, what with having to burn everyone in. But if you need to conserve space, I’m sure you can just get rid of the numerous useless items you’re sure to find. How many Skewers of Krintz do you need/want?
I would like to suggest that we keep tabs on the number of each set/unique in our possession. This way we aren’t forever keeping, for example, Sigon’s helm or Cathan’s staff. I’d also like to suggest that we keep no more than 1-3 of some uniques:
stuff that isn’t worth being upgraded
stuff that doesn’t usefully leech
stuff with no +skills
stuff that can’t help someone tank
stuff that, even if it can help someone tank, is pretty useless after a few levels (bloodrise morning star, I’m looking your way)
Highlights of tonight’s run include Dracul’s and … some other random stuff. Another stormchaser, yadda yadda yadda. Dracul’s. MFing will never be the same.
I found a 4-soc Balrog Blade in case anyone wants to make a Hand of Justice in their spare time.
I also found a Seraph Rod with +2 skills and +1 to both FoH and Holy shock. I seem to remember someone making a shock-a-din, and this might be good for that. Let me know if anyone wants them.
No, because at that time I hadn’t yet found it. Arkaine’s actually fell from Hell Baal in a pub run I was doing (hit 89, thanks for asking. No need for more levels because I have my hydrascout now). I nabbed it. 169% ED or summat. You can look up the rest of the stats. I dunno who should use it.
Mule rush went much more smoothly than last time, but still not flawless (I had forgotten that the Council is fire immune). Still, it paid off well enough: Hell forges yielded two Ist, a Lum, and (I think) a Pul, and NM gave us at least a Lem and a Io. The experience was good, too: My sorc gained a full level, and her merc is now only five behind.
Who_me?, don’t feel too useless. For one thing, you’re our resident Ferengi. And that trade mule is filling up nicely… We can’t wait to see what you manage to steal for us from it.
Good stuff from tonight’s forges. More to do tomorrow.
Next 40rusher will be a convadin. 4 in zeal, enough in holy shield to give 75 blocking, rest (except for 11 in conv) where I see fit. Possibly holy bolt. It will mean less damage, of course, but it will have more of a point in NM and Hell (breaking immunities, for one).
When we did the rush last night, I burned in the new sd-team1 account with the character Og_OneBoxDump…this guy will be for receiving en masse any good amulets, rings, small charms, runes, gems, jewels…any good one box items. Since he made it up to hell level, he can help you out in a pinch if you fill up during a NM or hell game that you don’t want to abandon.
Eventually, I’ll start up the characters to handle particular one box items and then transfer all the one box items over to this account for a sense of order. I’m also kicking around the idea of using the last character spot for +1 skill grand charms or some high end dual attribute grand and large charms. Of course we can also stick any extra gheeds and anni charms on ANY of these potentially 8 characters in this account. The gheeds (since only one can be stored per character) will be the only exception for these one box accounts except for the medium and grand charm mule character.
I have designs for the pul rune I got last night on OneBoxDump, so please don’t take it. He’s still holding it.
Or…I could make the eight character to handle all UNIQUE one box items…I guess it really depends on how many large and grand charms we get compared to how many unique one box items…there’s still time to figure that out though.
Og_OneBoxDump…where to send all one box items (including gheeds, large and grand charms) to be sorted out at a later time.
Og_OneBoxRunes
Og_OneBoxGems
Og_OneBoxJewels
Og_OneBoxAmulets
Og_OneBoxRings
Og_OneBoxSmallCharms (maybe Og_OneBoxSC for brevity)
Og_OneBoxCharms or Og_OneBoxUniques
Am I missing anything or are there any better ideas? One box set items can be held here, but I’m guessing that the rest of you prefer them with the rest of the set items, but if there’s some overflow of the set item mule accounts, then I’m ok with one or two of these items in this account.
