Greetings, fellow diablo2.io members!
Since my last hardcore journey ended in defeat (forums/a-hardcore-journey-t1481515.html), I've been contemplating starting another one. And here I am, about to start another one. The general idea is the same as last time - I'm going to attempt a HARDCORE SSF (solo self-found) playthrough, with the ultimate goal of defeating Hell Baal. I don't intend to try to kill Dclone or do Uber Tristram, just complete the game. I have no idea how long this is going to take, or rather... how far I'll get before I die. Because I'm pretty sure I'll die before I reach my goal.
Last time, I tried a Sorceress.
This time, I drew a class randomly.

This timestamp has been automatically converted to your local date/time for convenience. The format is DD/MMM/YYYY, HH:MM am/pm. This is based off your browser time. , so no more guesses/changes. - You cannot guess that I die and complete the playthrough without dying at the same time. You need to guess either or.
- Your last guess counts if you made multiple guessing posts.
Prizes
The exact prize depends on the guess and how far I get. See below.---
1. Death guess
If you guess that I die, the prize for a correct guess goes up by ½ Ist for each Act;
Prize per Act & Difficulty where I die
Act 2 Normal = 1½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Normal = 2 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Normal = 2½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Normal = 3 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 2 Nightmare = 4 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Nightmare = 4½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Nightmare = 5 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Nightmare = 5½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 1 Hell = 6 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 2 Hell = 6½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 3 Hell = 7 Ist (or equivalent)
Act 4 Hell = 7½ Ist (or equivalent)
Act 5 Hell = 8 Ist (or equivalent)
These are the parameters you need to guess:
- Enemy type
- Act
- Area
- Difficulty
You can guess on more than two of the parameters but still win a prize for being partially correct.
- If you get two of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize based on how far I got.
- If you get three of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x2.
- If you get all four of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x4.
- If there are multiple winners, you split the winnings.
2. Completed playthrough guess (no Death)
One random winner (who guessed correctly that I would complete the whole playthrough) gets a GRAND PRIZE.
The GRAND PRIZE is a choice between the following:
- [SC NL] One of every rune in the game.
- [SC NL] A fully geared Lightning Strike Amazon (spearzon).
- [SC NL] A fully geared Mosaic Assassin.
- [SC NL] A fully geared Traps Assassin (trapsin).
- [SC NL] A fully geared Nova Sorceress.
- [SC NL] A fully geared FoH/Smite Paladin (can also be made into a Hammerdin, or Tribrid).
- [HC NL] A Cold Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
- [HC NL] A Nova Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
- ONE winner gets to pick ONE prize of the above.
- ONE runner-up gets an Enigma (on either SC NL or HC NL, your choice).
* only on PC and on SC NL, I don't have a rusher on HC NL
Whatever isn't picked will be passed on to a future giveaway event.

3. Participation prize
In case nobody guesses my fate correctly, one random winner (among all participants) wins the same prize as per a correct Death guess (with x1 factor).
---
NOTE: Any prizes will be handed out on NON-LADDER.

You may of course just guess for fun without participating (i.e., you won't win any prizes), just let me know if that's the case
Have fun! xD
