Finishing Grail online before season 2

Well I have two accounts so I can use for this. By my calculations one account should be even enough most likely.

Its probably boring to watch as I dont stream sound or talk at all :slight_smile:

Just to clarify. Everything drops and I pick up in my solo game or public games counts for the grail. But I dont take anything given for free and also trading is not allowed.

There are so many items i have never ever ever seen that it simply wont happen. Plenty of ladder left, thats not the problem, its just impossible in terms of odds.

My eth griffons I found was a 19/13. Still a nice roll. Still a nice candidate for a Zod rune. We can still put them to good use.

Well, we will see :slight_smile: it depends on some luck i will have. For example enigma would speed up process of farming items significantly :slight_smile:

My barb is ready to do baalruns today and then ho nm so i should be able to get to nm baalruns today i think.

Btw some guy offered me nice circlet and halaberd reign uniq barb help when i was in act 3, i had to decline :smile:

I will admit, its playing the game as it is meant to be played. If only there was an online SSF ladder with holygrail feature, people could compete live with you.

Good luck on your quest!

Thx, I found first two items yesterday, Kinemil´s Awl Giant Sword and Sander´s Riprap Heavy Gloves. But leap barb wasnt propbably best of my ideas, he seems weak and hit mechanics of that area dmg is just weird and sometimes working in wird way. Am going to stream next part right now:

I have new report:

Started my last playing session with Baalruns and I found out how bad is Leap attack build. THe main issue is that you are getting hit by monsters even before you actualy land. I have seen at at minions of destruction. They always hit me with stun before I could react after Leaping attack. And I was killing Baal hell like forever with it :slight_smile:

I was lucky to find quite good Baaalruns teleported by level 93 sorc. That guy also rushed us after to end of Nightmare. After that I did some NM baalruns and found Hell game where we managed to get to ACT V Hell. After that I did few Hell Baalruns and like 1 Hour of farming Lower kurast at Baalruns. Got Lum there :slight_smile:

I was able to pick up plenty of missing items for grail, but pretty much everything is missing at this point so… :smiley:

Finished Barbarian at level 74. Plan for today is to gain some levels, run some Kurast object runs, respec into Horker and get Cold Sunder Charm with Find item in some public Terror Zone games by scavenging dead elites. Then Making Frozen orb/Blizzard sorc and level her to start farming bosses.

I’d say no. Playing this game off and on for the last 20 years, I never found all uniques, let alone all runes even with all characters combined.

I think not even the D2 zombies YT streamers do really have a full grail and they’re pretty much playing this game as a ‘job’.

Going to stream now next session (Part 3)

What is planned for session:

  • Some mulling first
  • Leveling Barbarian
  • Do some Kurast objects runs
  • Find Cold sunder charm
  • Start Frozen orb Sorceress

Realistically…no, not even with TZ’s.
To many things that are insanely rare, odds of finding all of them even if running all day every day are just to small.
Though the rune department could become easier (much in comparison) if you would craft up, would be an expensive version of playing, but chances of getting all runes if your willing to even do things like up 2 Jah to 1 Cham would really increase.
But I doubt you would get lucky enough to find every unique in one season.

Yeah it’s all RNG, I found my first Windforce after about 3 days (immediately build a bowazon ofcourse) after finishing Hell when I started online.
Found one more in the next 20+ years XD

I think it’s possible if you could farm p7 solo for 12 hours a day on an optimized S tier build. Easiest way to do that would be to have a sick computer that can multibox 7 clients since you’re not streamer privileged.
Still a pretty good chance you would get hung up on something but it sounds reasonable.

This new rule just turned me off to your thread. When you said you accepted this as a challenge I thought you were going to do SSF, then you allowed to get help from random pub folks so you finish quests due to others finishing them and now you accept items on ground. Lol ok yea real challenge.

The true challenge is finding them all yourself. If you play pub you are now playing with all those “cheaters” from d2jsp, so you are indirectly benefitting from an “unfair trading” system.

My whole idea was that this will be online grail. I only slightly changed my rules in the text of firts post which I posted when I wasnt even conviced to start it yet.

As i said I am playing solo and public games. So why would I not pick up something which dropped from monsters in game I am in? Do you think that with being able to pick up stuff dropped in public games I can easily finish this grail? Just by scavenging? What is the big advantage in that when I have to fight over loot with idk 7 other players?

Cheaters? People really should stop with this namecalling. Just because someone trade on JSP doesnt mean its cheater. I dont like JSP but I would guess that over 90% people there do not cheat. They just simply trade there. Thats all. On my main account I had enigma in 10 days with like 99,5% trades made over discord with other people who found those items on their own, now its month in season. Just because I play in public games, doesnt mean those people cheated their items somehow.

Thats being said, basicly only reason why I currently prefer public games over playing solo is leveling. I hate leveling, its boring as hell so I use public games to level up, not to loot stuff others found, thats just byproduct. My Barb is 87 after doing Baalruns today and some terro zones in public games. so I am probably going for lvl 88 and then I will not play with others anymore and stick to only what I personaly found as I will not play in groups and mostly solo.

Its fine if you dont take is as challenge, I still think it is. Some people already few times offered me some equip, I declined everything. I take only what dropped in games I am in. And I missed Arachnid Mesh from Diablo today lol :slight_smile:

I cant wait to play solo as I can finaly get to farming items to get full loot, not to fight for it with mutliple other people.

I’m gonna go with probably not just not enough time.

There are too many super rare items. You will never find a dweb, griffon, and all that in one ladder season. I was thinking I don’t know I’ve ever found mang songs lesson in the 20 years I’ve played this lol

I’d probably just say how much of a holy grail can you finish? And go for a personal best.

I’ve done all self found mostly and I don’t see it happening

So this has become a typical Zax thread that ends up being different than what he argues about and then never ends up getting done anyways. Good stuff.

I usualy have more projects at once, some get finished some not :slight_smile: Depends on time and other factors :).

I have many interesting ideas and get excited fast about them, but later I sometimes change my mind and dont finish them and focus something else instead.

I reconsidered this from multiple reasons, your previous comments, release date of D4, current lack of time as I keep working on my D2R mod still and most importantly there is planned MF tournament from 24.12 I will be participating in(grail). So I would be wasting time to do same thing few weeks before tournament starts.

y’all don’t have him blocked yet? man spews nonsense like no other.
