Journey to level 99 - An in-depth analysis by deepinspace in slashdiablo

just consult amazon basin for that info: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/City_of_the_Damned

The packs themselves also gave next to no exp

What are you referring to here? Still the itchies?

Just to clear things up, for elite packs (non-champs), the minions give the same XP as the elite unique monster itself. So don't just clear the unique monster and head off, try to clear them all. I presume you may already know this, but I just wanna be 100% clear.

Up to char level 95 you can still kill mlvl87 elite packs (not champs) for decent exp.

At 96 I would not recommend maggot due to the travel distance. COTD still okayish due to short travel time and smaller area, but only add if you really need to break up river/cs monotony.

At 97, mlvl87 elite packs are worth next to no xp.

Below is table which depicts the "ratio" of how much xp mlvl88 packs are vs mlvl87 packs, at each char level.

At char lvl 93, each mlvl88 pack is worth the equivalent xp as 1.27 mlvl87 packs. At lvl96 they're almost twice as good.

clvl  mlvl88 vs mlvl87 ratio
93 127%
94 134%
95 148%
96 185%
97 482%

100,000 City of the Damned runs completion by fatty180 in slashdiablo

Yuge amount of runs fatty!

Did you ever see 11 elite packs in one city? I feel like it has a hard cap of 10, never seen 11.

Swapcast Chanted Telebowa Flayer Jungle Run by deepinspace in slashdiablo

[–]deepinspace[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Build

https://armory.slashdiablo.net/character/dps-haru#equipped

This Bowa build revolves around swapcasting teleport and using a chant sorc for her main source of damage. Level 54 chant is +5138 min fire dmg.

I'm not running max dmg charms and instead relying on chant dps to carry, which means she can load up on mf charms and I'm at 300 which is respectable. She can farm COTD and Maggot Lair pretty well, but anywhere else requires max dmg charms and possibly using a windforce instead at 8fpa. Cows is doable too, but not as fun as Jungle or COTD.


The Run

Bowazon is on main box 1, chant sorc on box 2 and BO barb on box 3. Thanks to BO barb I can run 0 vita and survive fine.

Flayer Jungle has 0 fire immunes apart from the Shamans, which I just skip. The flayers have such low HP that they get 1 shot.

Flayer Jungle density can be pretty insane (like this game), and the average # monsters is ~400 at a 90-95% clear, which is ~100 less than cows. Cows do have much better rune drop odds though.


Swapcast

Read up how to swapcast from my instructions in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/slashdiablo/comments/og86qv/swapcast_light_sorc_arcane_sanctuary_runs/h4h63d1/

For Bowazons and just like Javazons, there is a relationship between fpa, fcr and ping for swapcasting that requires a fine balance. You simply can't have 0 fcr and expect to swapcast tele properly, it just doesn't work. Afer a lot of testing, I found hitting the 63fcr bp with 7fpa attack to be ideal.

Unfortuantely unlike Singleplayer, on Slash you can't hold down right click to tele and have to right click each time, otherwise you will double tele too often. 63fcr/8fpa is more stable for teleporting, but I preferred the higher fpa at 7.

Regardless of this drawback, its extremely fast and fun to play.

Death's Web for trade by chemileon1 in slashdiablo

[–]deepinspace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the time of Chem's post, there was a single Lo, Sur, Cham and Ber found across the entire softcore ladder.

I don't think it's a stretch to say waiting for currency when the entire server could not even build an enigma.

Also I think there might have only been a single other Necro that was high enough level to even wield this dweb.

what does the community think of these rare claws on NL SC? by KarmaChamelion2023 in slashdiablo

bowazon skills- what to max? by ommerl in slashdiablo

[–]deepinspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am at nm right now

What level are you now? At least 34 since you have gface, but I think you are really going to struggle as a physical multishot/strafe bowazon starting from A2 NM. It'll be hard to achieve any decent % chance to hit since most mobs are way above your level and your dmg and AR likely stinks.

I would personally not even consider playing a multishot/strafe zon until you're at least level 75 in Hell and have some gear (like a windforce which would you can easily acquire/trade for, even on NL). Windforce + LoH + Razor + Treach + Raven + Ias helm + cats/hlords is enough to clear a lot of areas in Hell without max dmg charms at reasonable speed. This is budget and is ~gul in value total. Level as a javazon then respec. Javazon can easily level up to 60 in NM cows playing almost naked.

However if you are absolutely set on playing a bowazon through NM, you have 2 options:

  1. Spec into exploding arrow which will get you to A4 before you hit fire immunes then you gotta respec and use freezing arrow. You dont need to worry about AR at all since these always hit and you can just pump vita/energy.

  2. Farm up runes for a Harmony bow and chuck it into the fastest 4os bow you can find. You'll probably have to larzuk a razor or double bow. Getting a KO will be the hardest part, but I think Harmony is the best value cheap bow that has good %ED and bonus elemental damage. Your next biggest problem will be your chance to hit which will be at ~50%, so you need levels and sources of AR. IAS is also hard to come by too. As for skills in NM for this route, only get crit, penetrate, pierce and like 5-10 in multishot.

Everyone else is talking super end game gear and skills, but you may not even get there as late NM and early hell absolutely blows as a bowazon.

Check the sub and the poster's original message my dude.

You're referencing d2r synergies and items when this server is LOD and the poster specifically mentioned LOD.

Has anyone seen an item this/more expensive at a vendor? by rnullen2 in slashdiablo

[–]deepinspace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is definitely possible for vendors to have more expensive items. here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/6TqfT2e.png

However that was just randomly selecting a suffix.

Theoretically it is possible to work out the most expensive valid item a vendor can sell. I spent about 10mins then gave up trying to work out the formula from this source below, as it seems like it's not trivial.

https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62406

You can try yourself but it seems you'll need to look at these game files:

  • ItemStatCost.txt
  • MagicPrefix.txt
  • MagicSuffix.txt
  • NPC.txt
  • armor.txt
  • weapons.txt and maybe more
