The untwinked level 99 progress thread

[kestegs]

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
~Lao-tzu

I've been mulling over a go at a level 99 character for quite some time now , but could never feel like I was properly motivated. The idea of doing a completely untwinked level 99 really got my interest going. I like the idea of having her drops be meaningful and having motivation to keep running. I also think it will be fun to see what she can accumulate over her journey.

Rules:
~No twinking! So no trading or using any items that your other characters have found.
~Muling is allowed and you can save any item she wants to use later.
~No MP games except to reset a map in normal.
~Version 1.13+

pretty simple really


And now for her first update!

May I first introduce you to....Ohms_Law! The title pays homage to my occupation as an electrician, and also to the fact that she may some day become a lightning sorceress

She now resides at the start of act 2, she has run the countess for some basic runes and made her self a leaf staff in a +2 Fireball base. She will start her life as a Blizzballer. This is a build I've not yet tried, but always looked fun. I've gotten my first set/uniques arctic furs and the gnasher.


I will be keeping track of a couple things as I go:

Level:19
Current time: 2h
Deaths:0

If there's anything else you think would be fun to keep track of then feel free to suggest it.


From what I can tell I am now 1/5th of the way to 99, so expect her to be finished in a few days

This sounds like a very cool project. I wish you the best of luck!

[JOSHK]

I want to do this!!! gl.

[FredOfErik]

Cool idea! But you're not going to make it..

You should definitely keep track of all the S/U's you find. But since she's untwinked I suppose you are already putting her stuff in an seperate stash.

And and and.. Delete character -> remake in HC.

cool statistics ?
I keep screenshots of everytime I've met boss named GoreSkull the Impaler.
He scares me no matter what form he's in, so I gotta keep track of those encounters.

other than that, no idea :P

[kestegs]

Thanks everyone but FoE

Your disbelief will only fuel me on

And by all means, if anyone wants to join in and give me a bit of competition, feel free


I could keep every s/u, that would be funny. See if that green BP really takes the cake

[Cyrax]

Nice name and idea.

I'd love to join but i've got too little time as it is. So unless you can manage to put more hours in a day i'll have to say no.

Something to keep track off: how much of a grail you'd get with her and number of Baalkills (assuming you're gonna run him).

And if disbelief fuels you, you may make it in a few days. I think the entire SPF doubts you'll make it . GL and i hope you prove me wrong.

Best of luck with an impressive quest. Though Cathan's Seal will definitely kick the breast plate's butt!

I thought it was just me that has found 927(Fine, I counted up to 17 before even finishing NM then I got tired of it) set breast plates, but it appears others know of this.. Hmm.. What conspiracy is this.

I compulsively keep everything I've ever found and according to my Flavie from a few months ago, I have 430 Isenhart's Cases and 413 Cathan's Seals.

Not really a butt kicking either way.

Good luck though. I really think you need teleport to do this in a reasonable time so any non-sorc character will probably need to spend some time at Trav or LK.

This is just crazy enough that I might want to try it.

Will you allow for respecs?
