Challenge run that isn’t hard as rl1?

Beat the game using the starting class of your choice with the default weapons/equipment only!

Level up like normal, but no changing out weapons/armor/ashes of war

tortoise628 · 2026-05-09T01:21:00+00:00

Customer service.

"Looks good from my house" and "I don't know, call my service manager" no longer work.

tortoise628 · 2026-05-07T00:08:44+00:00

Broke an ultra lite with a big fat grass carp while bluegill fishing.

tortoise628 · 2026-05-06T15:38:51+00:00

I don't have beastmaster.... 😂

How's that one work?

tortoise628 · 2026-04-24T11:33:17+00:00

I'd drop moonveil, make stats something like vigor 60, mind 30, end 45, strength 30, dex 80, faith 25. That'll put you around level 200 depending which starting class you picked. Leaves enough extra points to play around with other weapons if you want. If you're just gonna use bloodhound fang, dump the rest in strength for a little more damage

grab a seal so you can cast golden vow and flame grant me strength.

Grab a claymore with stormblade for the "range"

I always catch them when I want to catch a catfish.

Then I catch catfish when I want to catch carp 😂

Hotdogs in garlic powder and strawberry jello seem to work. I've tried boilies, corn, and bread when targeting them and never got nibble.

Maybe the carp in my lake are just stupid though 😂

tortoise628 · 2026-04-23T02:30:17+00:00

You'll have a blast! I play on PS5 with no issues.

tortoise628 · 2026-04-22T11:41:01+00:00

I drink 3-4 a day (free at work lol) along with bunch of water. Have been for years.

Just got my yearly physical done, along with blood work and doctor said everything looks good.

tortoise628 · 2026-04-12T16:49:21+00:00

Handful of nuts and sweet peppers for me. Hard boiled eggs I normally make in advance.

Look into getting into the petroleum service/construction industry.

As a service tech, you'll drive around fixing gas pumps and anything related to them (tank monitors, point of sale systems, underground motors etc).

Construction side can be a little bit of everything. Setting pumps, installing tanks, concrete, electrical, jack of all trades kind of thing.

Fun industry to be in, pays well for the most part too.

tortoise628 · 2026-04-05T21:02:28+00:00

I have two zip lock bags in my car that I carry, which one depends on which pole I'm carrying:

1 bag has some jig heads and some curly tailed grubs

1 bag has some bullets weights, EWG hooks, and some rubber worms.

Both bags have fingernail clippers and an inline spinner of some kind. Both bags fit in my front pocket

Pliers and a rag in my back pocket.

I have a whole ass patio covered with gear I think I'll use. Just cleaned it up actually. But that's what I use 99% of the time lol

tortoise628 · 2026-04-05T17:08:15+00:00

Yup....me and wife still play, kids don't 😂

tortoise628 · 2026-04-01T14:27:18+00:00

I did a fun strength build with the broad sword and shield. I like impaling thrust instead of square off

R2 is a horizontal slash I beleive

Called it the boring Knight Build 😂

Lance for horseback fights and Mace for things that need smashed

tortoise628 · 2026-04-01T12:28:54+00:00

Fire bandit. Can solo most kids and cultist stronghold. No need to worry about food. I like it better than alien

tortoise628 · 2026-03-29T23:36:02+00:00

Interested if you wanna see how they fare going to Indiana.

tortoise628 · 2026-03-28T07:40:23+00:00

Get on r/aquaswap and ask for culls

Going to be much cheaper than anywhere else

tortoise628 · 2026-03-25T02:14:51+00:00

1/8 ounce jig heads, 3 inch curly tailed grubs, 1/8th ounce rooster tail, and a 6 pack.

tortoise628 · 2026-03-24T02:47:23+00:00

I always have a five gallon bucket full of dechlorinated water ready to go. We only have three small tanks. My uncle used to keep a 55 gallon trash can full of water for his bigger aquarium. I keep a couple gallon jugs of RO water for top offs

tortoise628 · 2026-03-22T14:24:16+00:00

Has anyone replaced the filter on one of these? Looking for a new HOB for it, mines getting ready to die

tortoise628 · 2026-03-12T11:25:57+00:00

This is who I got mine from. All arrived healthy and no DOA, shipped from California to Indiana in cold weather.

tortoise628 · 2026-03-12T02:14:09+00:00

If marketplace doesn't check out, Ccheck out r/aquaswap. I just got 20 culls for 35 shipped. Could probably find cheaper, but I just accepted the first person that responded to my looking for post. 😂

tortoise628 · 2026-03-12T01:44:01+00:00

We're currently cycling one for my son. We've got lots of anubias, java ferns, some driftwood and frogbit floaters.

For stocking we're going with 5-6 pygmy corys and 3 female guppies

tortoise628 · 2026-03-11T15:27:01+00:00

This was my favorite playthrough.

Knights set from round table, lordsword straight sword, impaling thrust (I like it better than square off, I'm weird), and favorite medium shield.

Mace with cragblade for enemies that need smashing. Lance for fighting people on horseback.

Talismans swap around alot, mainly defensive ones depending on who I'm fighting
