Pre-D3 MFO Signups and Progress

[TheReadMenace]

Just a quick reminder to the Other alvl85 Runners that I'll be doing an update in approximately 24 hours, so feel free to email me at thereadmenace(at)gmail(dot)com.

To keep this on topic, here's the rarest item I've found thus far:

Pluckeye
Short Bow
Two Hand Damage: 2 - 8
Durability: 18 of 20
Required Level: 7
Required Dexterity: 15
Fingerprint: 0x158b8814
Item Level: 88
Version: Expansion 1.10+
100% Enhanced Damage
+28 to Attack Rating
3% Mana stolen per hit
+10 to Life
+2 to Mana after each Kill
+2 to Light Radius

Suffice to say, my score is quite atrocious.

I've contacted TRM and am withdrawing from the MFO. I sadly don't have enough time to play over the next couple of weeks and don't think it'd be fun for me nor fair to my competitors as I'm unlikely to be competitive at all and probably won't find anything worthwhile to give to you guys. Sorry! Good luck to everyone

Started at 83 and just hit 88.

16 qualifiers so far. Not a lot, but there's some decent ones among them. Switched out all of my top 5 except for the number 1. My top 5 contains of two sets of duplicates at 1st-2nd and 4th-5th. The score is acceptable, but I will really need to find a top scoring item or two to have a chance. In that case, my top 5 will look real good i think.

Non-qualifiers:
Vex
Mal
Ruby sc of vita (11/16)
A lot of useful exceptionals (vipermagi, HoZ, eth Bartuc's, Guillames, Titan's, Vamp gaze)

Well, in one regard, this MFO is pretty funny for me. In terms of potential victory, however, I am in sore need of some good drops. 17 qualifiers total, with a couple of decent non qualifiers. I'm not having the time I would like for this, so I don't feel too bad about my so far pathetic scoring though. Update sent to TRM just now.

[jjscud]

Just a heads up, I'll be posting a baal update in about 14 hours. I'll do a team update then too.

[kestegs]

I just sent my update to trm. getting some decent finds, but top 5 still needs some major work.

[zgpmf]

Same here, just a slight improvement compared to my last update.

@Pindle runners, I only got update from jjscud, so I'll wait for 24 hours before I post new standings.

[pharphis]

Well, about 9 hours with no boosts to my score, and nothing super fantastic to look at either. I did find a mal, which I liked, and that pushed me to do the countess quest, where I got another mal

I ran for 3 hours last night and am starting to get confused on how /players works. At first I ran the pits on P1 because I could cruise through in sub 3 minute rounds. Then I changed to P5 and started finding some items but added ~1:20 to my run time. Then I went to P7 for the last hour and didn't find one single qualifier. Sure it was only 13 runs, but I assumed I would find at least one shiny in that time. I did get a buttload of experience though. My meteorb is halfway to 94 now. I am trying to pull the positives out of this.

Could someone please explain how they run the pits? What level do you use, what do you kill, etc.

I am on the board with 5 qualifiers, but they are all very low scoring, but I am on the board!!! I will send my update tonight when I get home, but I am sure I am in last unless someone hasn't done any runs yet.

I run on P1 and only aim to kill bosspacks - their droprates aren't dependant on Psetting. And IIRC normal monsters can't drop TC87 items.
