Quest to complete Beginner's Luck Achievement.
|
So I got bored in between leagues.
So I decided to grind endlessly through Normal difficulty Twilight Strand and see how long it takes me to get that unique drop there. I rotated 4 characters. Shadow, Scion, Ranger and Witch. With their given starting skills. Fireball Witch wrecked through that area with most ease, seconded by Spec Throw 2h Scion. The best for just running straight to Hillock with no killing monster along was Double Strike Shadow with very nice ele axe, then Scion. The weakest of all was Burning Arrow Ranger.
For those who didn't know
Achievement Beginner's Luck
Have a unique item drop in the Twilight Strand in Normal difficulty. - Once you enter town after killing Hillock, you cannot get back to Twilight Strand. - You don't want to spawn new character each time, it's faster to run through it with already equipped one. - If you use only one character your instance will stay the same, there is no way to reset that one, so you would have to wait few minutes. So you want to use that time for running it with another character. - All that combined results in rotating 3-4 characters by running through Twilight Strand, killing Hillock and right there switch to next character. - You want to open all chests that you spot on your screen. - You want to Kill hillock. - because those two are the most likely to drop unique. I have never ever seen a white monster drop an unique in my 3 years of playing PoE. - You want killing other monsters just to refill your flasks when you are lvl 4+. As you don't enter the town, they don't refill. - You want at least 2 mana flasks. Don't worry they will drop.  But it wasn't exactly "beginner's luck" that happened right there. I have leveled 4 characters to lvl 6 by the time I got that. See for your selves:

I farmed a character to level 8 before Hillock was kind enough to grant a Unique :-D But I used only one since I was in no hurry and just did a run at the beginning and the end of each PoE session. :-)

Hillock dropped a Sidhebreath for me in recent 1month HC league, on a char I wanted to make into a summoner. Talk about luck! :)

I got this achievement during one of the one hour races last season.
Can't even remember now what the drop was, but I ended up not using it because it didn't suit the character at the time. Was nice to get the ding though. Now all I'm looking for is the "Left to Chance" achievement on a Sinner Tricorne :) Went SSF in Delve and I'm never going back.
