Bearers and Bosses

I've seen other people post their grind, failures and successes, so I've started tracking mine for fun.

I'll be updating this tread, hopefully, every twenty-five runs; I don't think this will be considered spamming because I have limited time to do the grind. My grind isn't like packed Travincal runs where one takes thirty seconds; I took fifteen days to do this first block of twnety-five runs, and I don't expect to improve that by a ton even though the time for each run has significantly improved.

My grind is a bit different than most I think; I hit all five bosses, the three key bearers, Travincal, and part of whatever zone is terrorized all in one run for the sake of variety. I realize this is far from optimal, but I have more fun this way.

I started at level eighty, and I've done a few bits and pieces here and there, but I've mostly kept the character exclusively for the grind allowing me to roughly track how much experience I've received from the grind.

I've only kept an accurate score for essences, keys, and stuff that has been or is still worth at least an Ist rune. I loosely tracked all the other stuff by way of how many gems they've been worth at the time even though I'm not purposefully collecting them.

My approximate times in minutes for this first block: 110, 85, 80, 95, 90, 95, 75, 80, 85, 80, 85, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 60, 55, 55, 50, 50, 50, 50, 45, 45.

The approximate average time was a whopping seventy minutes.

I got eight levels during these twenty five runs.

The spoils of this block of runs:

Burning Essence of Terror - 3
Twisted Essence of Suffering - 10
Festering Essence of Destruction - 3

Key of Hate - 4
Key of Terror - 1

Ber - 1
Ist - 2
Ohm - 1

Dusk Shroud [Four Socket Superior] - 1
Archon Plate [Three Socket Superior] - 1
Duriel's Shell [Ethereal] - 1
Ormus' Robes - 1
Arachnid Mesh - 1
Rainbow Facet: Lightning Level-up - 1
Mara's Kaleidoscope - 1

Perfect Gems ~ 115

Like that kind of runs, hope you get good stuff <3 !
