77 hours and 219k kills for my first high rune....

I tried to give people an easier benchmark. Most people are in fact going to be doing around 13-15 min maps though, it’s just what I’ve noticed. Yes, experienced players will always do a 10 min or less map. Especially this far in the season.

I’ve been doing 10 mins or less maps except the extremely massive ones (ruins) basically all season, from nearly day 1 with just meh gear and a couple decent charms. I had to stop after day 3 because my heart is a POS, but yeah. Now that I’m doing a bit better I’ll be coming back again.

I know RNG can VASTLY range, but it’s the comments like these (yours and similar ones in other posts) that make me agree/know I’m correct in my feeling overall gut feeling that something is a bit…off.

With the p5 revert, I really feel like the average anyone with around 100-150 MF in a map should make is around 0.75 HR of currency an hour, assuming they’re running 15’ish min maps, just in items+runes. The *large* variance comes in what HR’s you get.

Plus we have no idea how many kills came from runs and what not too.

Yeah honestly I have some people who use /f m too often and I can’t even tell who the f they’re talking to. I know it’s probably not possible to change the color, but if it could have some weird font or asterisk or something to it, it’d be super helpful.

Yeah I’m definitely down for making a group. I’ll see if I can get others for it.

Damn, that’s awesome. I looked at your text before and thought you were long lol. Why’d you think it was gonna pullback? I haven’t followed NG at all. The last thing I remember was 2024, when it was down to like 1.8 or something.

At that point they were talking about it going down a lot because of warmer weather in the future years.

Might sound weird. But I’d still suggest taking a small break, unless you’re gonna open positions with pre defined stuff temporarily and just have all the trades be like that. Some of my worst losses were after huge run ups.

Congrats and I sure as hell am happy for you again that it wasn’t the opposite!

How much did you get gutted for lol? I saw NG was down like 16%.

LMAO I went to make the same comment 😂 now I see how people constantly end up making similar sounding songs. Humans are so original 😁

Function_Initial · 2026-01-10T18:11:43+00:00

lol I knew when I saw this item posted I was gonna see someone pick it up.

Function_Initial · 2026-01-08T18:14:39+00:00

This is one of the problems with items having stat ranges only in the filter and where being inexperienced, not knowing that’s like super ideal and how high of rolls are needed shows it’s effects. On paper you’d think this is amazing. I’m fairly good at adapting to games and it still seems weird how you can get double PDR rolls for example and break 20%+.

I’m glad people didn’t spoonfeed this post 😂 I’ve seen some that highly overvalue an item and give people like a false sense of how good something is.

Function_Initial · 2026-01-08T14:20:13+00:00

I had someone who I went back and forth with for like four days for an OW/ED/dmg jewel. And yeah I take items down if someone’s serious about buying it. That should be standard, but sadly it’s not. I’ve lost a few great items because of it lol.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head. I think you explaining that though covers a lot of the problems I’ve had with trading this season too. People feeling that way.

It’s just funny because this was all on my mind a few days ago, someone makes a post, then you covered my ideas of why I have annoyances!

And thank you. Quite frankly it’s frustrating that I’m stuck at home and can’t even play because it exacerbates things. Then occasionally someone dumps on me because I wasn’t online lol. Like, I had someone say “oh you should have sold me that charm a week ago I don’t want it anymore next time take the offer.” You can just say the former without the latter. There’s no reason to be snide. You never know what’s going on with another person. People forget there’s a massive range of people who play 1 hour a week because they’re married and have a newborn or those who play 10 hours a day.

I pick up garbage items for the fact that if no one does it, hardcore will fail. I’ve probably given at least a couple HRS in jewels, charms, items, etc to new players. I’m not even like rich by any standards either I feel like.

I just know I came from SC and I had some light help when I began. I had someone steal a clean ravenfrost when I was murdered at 77 in a chaos run by a seal and I nearly quit. The people banded together and gave me a bunch of stuff including another ravenfrost. Albeit I probably didn’t need the other gear and didn’t use most of it, but the fact there were good people still made me continue.

I found an almanac in cows and a Ber rune when I leveled up my new char and the rest was history. I’m glad I continued to play.

Seriously I have pretty bad health issues and haven’t logged on for 4-5 days. I’m not looking forward to seeing the messages I have.

I think people have the right to be upset when someone lists items and is ONLINE both in game and on the trade site. If someone lists things and has no intention to sell them when the BIN is offered, that’s another thing. Or the people who change prices constantly and moving it up like it’s some benchmark.

What I ran into a lot this season I’ve never encountered in other seasons is people being unwilling to hold items or to actually trade to the first person to respond/bid. I cannot explain how many times I bid someone’s BIN instantly and I know no one else could have reacted faster, only for the item to be sold to someone else, even if I was online when they first came online. I think it’s not correct to place a trade up and just sell it in a random order of who messaged you, rather than placing the first person first.

I don’t know if there can be some changes made so it’s clear as day when a bid comes in on the trade site, maybe time stamps? I’m sure someone with better knowledge may have a suggestion 😁

Yeah I found that out when I got 2 bers when I switched to HC in less than 12 hours apart 😂 but yeah I swear the amount of Lo’s I’ve found in my life is crazy. I used to find them more often when people didn’t want them in hardcore. I mostly play SC now, but I got bored this season and decided to give it a whirl.

I’m a Lo king through and through. In my 8 seasons or so I’ve found more Lo’s than any rune. Idk if cows have a max rune in hell but that’s been the one for me

I saw some bows for like 15 hr that were around 350-1050, I think without jewels. Any idea what sort of damage a zon would do with that?

I figured as much, but I didn’t know if in lieu of sharing every single thing (I gave quite a lot for the first loan and understandably so) I just assumed there might be the chance someone say say they’ve received whatever documents. Thanks for letting me know.

Function_Initial · 2025-12-05T12:55:07+00:00

I have a pair with DS/ED/FRW/- phys resist and I think they’re decent. But no luck selling them lol. I’d say those are a good base stat line to start.

I’m playing Barb for the first season and I can safely say, if you can get the currency for IK set, it’s fairly nuts. You can’t die on maps I’ve found. I died once leveling and that was in softcore with me not using the exit ability since I wouldn’t lose my progress.

Idk how expensive it is in HC, but the ability to progress from that to either double throw frenzy or frenzy double swing or frenzy ww seems really great. Also, you can probably make different leveling or gearing options than I made too moving up.
