It begins.... 1000+ Meph runs?

[rendo]

Well, I'm bored and I've decided to start doing loads upon loads of NM Meph runs. I'm running with a Blizzy Sorc, my MF gear isn't that greatest, it's as follows.

Weapon + Shield - 34 Spirit Sword, 3 Pdiamond Tower Shield
Switch - Ali Baba + Sigon's (For blocking, will make Rhyme when I get a 2os Tower Shield)
Helm - 3 Ptopaz Death Mask
Armor - Stealth
Boots - Silkweave
Gloves - Frosties
Belt - Tal Rasha's
Ammy - 34% MF
Rings - 24 Nagel, 24 MF ring

My total MF is 239% so it's modest, but not the greatest. Obviously you can see why I'm doing runs and runs and what's that? More runs. :D

Now, I'm curious as to what people use for spreadsheeting the information, and making it look all pretty. Right now I'm just writing each run down, using OpenOffice (Running Linux) and just putting each run down and what dropped. I want to try and get about 50 runs in a day. I average about 20-30 runs an hour, so 2 hours a day isn't that much away from my life and I can come back here with updates on my progress. But I really would like to make it all perty :o. I'm on HC US East.

Since it's late, I only started with 10 runs. the only things really worth mentioning were Tearhaunch, and Treads, but they're low end gear, nothing big. I've done lots of runs already, but this is the first I've documented it.

Forget the runs. :P A doll got me. I was at half bulb and I quaffed a pot, but I managed to tele into a pack of urdars-types with Dolls, urdar stunned me long enough for my merc to pop a doll :(.

Ooch, sorry to hear, boss.

Might I suggest finding a way to hit 63% fcr next time? It'll keep you alive longer. Promise!

Anyway, look for *Flicker. I'll help you rebuild.

[GodObelisk]

Sorry to hear abt ur loss.
Rebuild and make the 2nd one better

I actually had 69 FCR, I had a 10 FCR ring I used to get to Meph and I switched it out just before I killed him. I noticed the HUGE difference it made when I hit that breakpoint, but I'd have needed a bit more FHR to have dodged the sploding doll. :(

The tower shield probably didn't help either. =/ I'll hook you up with a faster shield if you need it.

I've been working on something like this to submit for the world to see and the statistics forum. Also to increase my general wealth and let me build the fun characters instead of cookie cutters :azn:

Next time, try losing the Tal's belt and wear a Bladebuckle. I realize it doesn't have any MF on it but it alone will bring you from 15 fps hit recovery to 10 fps hit recovery, which is nothing to frown at imho. Another 12% fhr (easily obtained from rare boots) would get you to 9 fps hit recovery.

A lowely Spectral Shard + 2 FCR rings will get you past the 63% FCR breakpoint untill you find a Skin of the Viper Magi.

Just my opinion though.

And hats off to you for trying to run meph 1000+ times, I'm such a bad mfer, I think the most I've gone is 6 mf runs in a row before I got bored and did something else.

The banana channel is op xbananax (just fyi), and you should indeed stop by sometime!

I had done about 100 runs but I had only documented 23 before I died. Last 3 runs produced nothing but rares :(. I had some decent FHR. I had 4 5% sc, 25% from stealth and I was using that Maho-kim whatever ammy with 10-20% FHR. I'm going to restart a blizzy sorc again soon, but I'm taking a break from sorcs for now. Working on a bowazon, but I may stop soon since I thought I muled my rattlecage and goblin toes, but they were on the sorc when she deeded :@ So that sorta ruined my early Bowazon plan of having some CB at level 30.
