All I wanted to hear.

Yea I still have the ring with WED, AS and accuracy saved. I may just sell it to you since it's caused me nothing but headaches from this point on. Probably uesd 50et/ex without hitting a decent 4th T1 roll.

50 et with no keeper with 3 stats left to fill is brutal. What 6 mods (roughly) were you aiming for? (There are a few options imo)

I'm on vacation for a few weeks, but I'll either message you to discuss it when I'm back or you can pm me on here to discuss it.

Yea exactly, it's such a versatile base that I thought I'd just go with whatever I got but nothing ever happened. I'd take t1 life, t1 all res, t1 ES, maybe something else if it came up, dno.

I hit t1 rarity once actually but fuck that, lol.

15 t-shirts = ~20-30$ for each one for GGG (probably less, becouse they have a partnership with Jinx, so i think is 19.99$ for each) so it's 200-450$ for 4(!!!) month :)

I'm not sure if it's any reasone for so stupid challenges where people spend around 2-3 month to get it.

GZ Fire, hope you got fun with it :)

Yep.

Congratulations on the 3 * 8 btw.

Achieving 8/8 in Anarchy/Onslaught was relatively easy. It was very wealth based - so I spent much of my time trading and farming docks with low-life RF spark totems

"

Nemesis/Domination
As a result, I spent the remainder of the time trading and liquidizing everything to acquire the remaining uniques; which I completed roughly 2 weeks before the end.

"

Invasion/Ambush
. I ended up trading months worth of currency for the axe as time was running out.

Challenge look really cool all about trading xD

Funny thing is OP's insights are very similar to those I read by the two previous league 8/8ers. In effect, be prepared to buy your way in. GGG response to that this league seemed to be double down! No reason to believe at this point any future league challenges will change in any real way given historical perspective.

This would cause issues with league specific uniques but I agree on the concept. Perhaps have the characters go in to a void league for the duration of the 4 months where they still count as a part of the parent 4 month league.

There's already an issue with league specific uniques in the other direction, since the dual-league races drop both uniques and are parented to the hardcore league. Allowing hardcore uniques to move to softcore would be fixing the imbalance.

Yeah screw iir.

My inclination is to aim to finish it with pre: phys dmg + lit dmg and the final suffix would be either a resistance (maybe all res) or a dps mod depending if we can get away with a totally res free ring. (Gotta look into that - legacy crit amulets alrdy have no res on them ofc)



The whole layout could change though with 1.2 coming.

Two wrongs don't make a right...

You're assuming that there is a combined race and that it's intended that the SC uniques are supposed to be transferable to HC this way. Personally I think that's something that's been overlooked and it's not supposed to be possible.

It's easily fixable as well, just disable league specific uniques in any combined race.
