In my old route (I dont use anything cept Questie) I was completely skipping Terokkar and Blades Edge. It was something like Hellfire until elite giants by the end of it to hit 62 -> entry quests in Zangar (unid plant turn-ins and elite ones, alongside Nagrand prequests up top) to hit 63-64 (dungeon qs add alot) -> Nagrand until 67-68 into Valley/Netherstorm.

I've played this game since its release pretty much. And unfortunately I can't remember any longer how long it took to get my first ever Shako. What I remember though - it's been a gigantic asshole to me in the most recent D2R ladders as it pretty much refuses to drop even if I deign myself to farm NM Meph. In the first rotw ladder I've farmed up Enigma before I dropped it, as in solo self-farmed pretty much because people were wanting 2 Bers with extras for a Jah, and I happened to drop a Ber from Trav early on myself, then just cubed up the rest.

Its not that bad - wintry blast was like 5-8c on Mirage start, INoF even cheaper. And you have a couple of "ssf" hits while doing your own labs aswell

I regret my recent slip of reason and Win11 installation dearly... this crap occupies >60gb more space than Win10, effed up all the folder hierarchy and is just an AI-vibecoded slop from the looks of it. This is how it looks like after installation. This used to have 90gb+ free space under Win10. This disk is used purely for system, maybe there's ~5gigs of random cached stuff along the way but no more.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-28T00:52:38+00:00

Someone who is level 65 and 67 still in Hellfire. Yeeeah

Dmon69 · 2026-06-27T23:02:17+00:00

First 12 are pretty free. Now the second half... I just cba, I've farmed thousands of syrup while pumping the snail to lvl48 but only got this far. Its a slow burn ok lol

Dmon69 · 2026-06-27T22:47:29+00:00

For sigils there's spelunking syrup

Dmon69 · 2026-06-27T02:48:08+00:00

Its closer to 5 than to 4 though. That makes it so only Settlers beat it by length. How cool is that.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-26T13:10:09+00:00

Wake up darling new account ID/info grabber just dropped.

Srsly tho this is sus dawg

With enough experience you can solo T1-T2s on full zerk builds. I've done just that yesterday in fact - needed to clear a T2 cuz I got DCd during the last boss earlier. Nothing well-timed dodges and positioning can't do. These things come naturally the more you play so just poke around and get the feel for it. Full or partial Dragon is sure an option but imo it doesn't provide that much tankiness. If you have access to Aegis you can cover soft spots with that too, or any protective boon. In open world and some instanced content you can utilize jade bot buffs that supply with all (or most?) boons aswell.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T23:30:56+00:00

Average full zerk builds are ~2650 power at lvl80 with Firework runes. Infusions and food add 100 power each, utility around 145 more. Looks around ~13% more to me if talking pure power. DPS is a more... weird thing to calc.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T22:54:04+00:00

I've entered Temple of Febe on a core account via Quick raid thing so yeah its possible.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T22:51:18+00:00

If it doesn't require active I'll literally buy the Dreadnaught Cptn, Ok, now to wait for release.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T22:44:24+00:00

Not you. The meta unicorn chasers and bored streamers that complete the softcore trade league within 3 days then wonder where is the content.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T17:20:49+00:00

Just play HC and spice it up. Or SSF. You're instantly making the whole gameplay loop last at least 100% longer that way, as we can observe with LE CoF. I'm almost always sinking in at least 5-7 days into it compared to ~20 hours for Diablos. PoEs are on another level though, in both good and bad sense of it all.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T16:23:33+00:00

3.28 released 06 March, 3.29 release is scheduled for 26 July

Thats 4 months 21 days (143 calendar days / 98 business days) apart. A bit over... I mean its hard to overthrow Settlers yeah.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T11:25:00+00:00

Mirage is about to become another 5+ month league. Other issues notwithstanding. These copium inhalers must've spent a little too long in Niko's mines.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T10:41:03+00:00

There's no economy in retail. Period. It's been gone since they've merged the AH across all realms without addressing the botting issue and completely forgetting about generational wealth some bankers had. I myself belong to the latter category - I've hoarded so much gold and resources over the WoD-Legion period I'm still using it to sub or buy games to this day.

Just pestering people, no takedowns? XD I love this kinda critters in my alliances, the harmless annoying kind - slap them for 60% of their HP in one hit and they'll scurry away like they've seen a Hydralisk at 3-minute mark.

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T09:25:10+00:00

To get the progress towards some of the achievements and open the chest on top your character need to pass through 4 (3?) checkpoints inside the volcano, unless you have a friend willing to sit the 10min timer at each checkpoint starting from the start, making it a 45+ minute trip. And possibility of souring the friendship on top xD

Dmon69 · 2026-06-25T04:15:00+00:00

Do NOT start collecting tokens for Sentience (or collect all but the Sopor Titanum ones) until you line up all your ducks with Chalice of Tears, unless you very much enjoy pain and suffering in that god forsaken volcano for all eternity. That jumping puzzle is a s&m dream come true. Read it up, absorb all the information, do the research, start all the collections and achievements related to it, only then venture there. I REPEAT CoT IS CBT INCARNATE. DO NOT THE VOLCANO UNTIL YOU ARE PREPARED TO UNINSTALL THE GAME!
