Tournament: Envious of the Green and Gold

[Kitteh]

Good idea, thanks for clearing it up

I'm choosing to do full clears (with an extended stash, although if I deeds, I may try again without one), is anybody else working with non-required restrictions?

[Grisu]

Ah...what the heck. Not enough time, alread too much tourney charactes running, but this looks enjoyable

Introducing Meronym - after jiansonz's endless praises of a Phoenix Striker, I intend her to be one once she reaches level 30. Phoenix Strike can be used with normal weapons, right?

And yes, the character's name is shamlessly stolen from Cloud Atlas, but the idea of a reborn lady for a Phoenix Striker seemed fitting

I dread to think how many daggers I've gambled... Also, a 3/2 head and a 2/2 wand. Perhaps the D2 gods are confused as to my class and build?

[felixbavaria]

To clarify, greys can be socketed but must follow the rules stated in the OP, so only emeralds/topazs or jewels with green/gold graphics. If a s/U is to drop though, you must replace your gemmed armour for that S/U immediately!

Thanks for clarifying the OP. My druid had a sapphire in his scepter, guess that disqualifies him. Oh well.

[jiansonz]

Phoenix Strike can be used with normal weapons, right?

Yep, the only things that do not work are bows, crossbows, throwing potions or being weaponless.
(FoF, CoT and BoI can be used without a weapon, though)

[felixbavaria]

So if we find the first S/U armour, we can put it on the merc and keep a grey one, right? Don't want to restart another time

[djmbbandie]

Cassie is now also in the Black Marsh. She's headed for the Highlands next. She put two chipped emeralds into a scepter and three chipped emeralds into a hunter's bow for her fire merc Ithera. She found her first set item in the Underground Passage level 2 chest (Arctic Furs +305 ED) given to Ithera. She's wearing a chipped topazes socketed skull cap and a chipped topazes socketed leather armor. She's really close to level 17.

Yes that is right, you may choose to either equip your first S/U Armor/helm/weapon (if applicable) on your own character or your merc. Once you find your 2nd S/U then your character must equip it straight away. The idea is once a S/U drops your goal is to equip it on your character/merc in the swiftest fashion possible.

As throroughly sick as I am of the single pass restriction in every tourney (I don't see the point of it for most of them), I'll join in on this one. Will copy the table once I've figured out what character I'll be playing.

[Kitteh]

If it wasn't single pass, item restrictions wouldn't be as restrictive because you could just grind the gear.
