Tournament: Super Unique!

[GooberGrape]

Meh Smith dropped me 2 claws....

One a failed set and the other a failed unique just for added lulz

Now erm do we have to have a SU drop whatever item we get Charsi to Imbue or can it be any item whatsoever be it dropped by something else or bought from a vendor? I would assume the later as SU's dropping non magical items is kinda rare

Charsi imbue can be any item dropped by anything. It's one of your "freebies". I intend to save mine for an ethereal Pike

Question: Can I combine the ring from Akara with 2 rings I find (not from SU) to make an amulet that I can wear?

No.

10 chars.

Ah, I thought that was the case. Thanks for the clarification!

[kstuart]

But if you get 3 rings dropped by SU's however its ok i presume?

Now to go progress towards the cathedral and hunting for a nice white weapon to imbue, anything is better than a 2-7 damage scimitar with a little LL at this point..... Forever having to portal back to repair the bloody thing.

Cruising through act 1 with my merc doing most damage. I run ahead, freeze everything in sight, static a few mobs and whack away with a scimitar while my merc kills most. Got towards the jail lvl 1 WP. Nothing interesting dropped so far, although a spear with cold dmg is decent for when I get to act 2 and a skullcap with FHR is not bad either.

I'm a bit scared for pitspawn fouldog.

Yeah that's okay. Any *equippable* item needs to come from SU's. You can use gems/jewels/runes from any source.

Andy was kind and dropped me a nice rare crystal sword which was a failed unique so triple durability \o/ Also got a eth large shield yellow with res all and LR on top.

Now to decide whether to go for the cube first and then do radament and creeping feature to cube the darn gems filling my stash up...

Then spend the rest of act 2 pondering how the heck i'll be killing duriel

NM Andariel has fallen! She was not immune to rabies, which kinda confused me. I was upset with her drop, though. I still have no amulet at all. Garruk is lvl 52. The chance to cast blizzard on Zakarum's Hand is super fun. It probably interrupts fury, but I'm not currently bothered by that. Rabies and Poison Creeper are both maxed, putting a few points into Werewolf next and then focusing on summons. I'd like to use the dire wolves but I'll probably end up using the bear more.... I have negative cold resistance going into Act 2, so I'll need to get that fixed somehow before Duriel.

I used my NM imbue on a circlet. Got a nice life leech hat for the merc:

[GooberGrape]

@SunsetVista remember thawing potions add to cold resist, and the duration stacks so 10 potions = 5 minutes
