Getting everything to 99 before I am a grandpa (RotW has taken my already latent “hoarding tendencies” to a whole new level )

That's a lot. If dont count organs, I have more

Key than you. But count organ as 3

Key.
You have way more than I do....

it is really crazy 40 organ each , 40 x 3 k x 3 type 360

Key
This is close to what I have now...

And I kind of remember statue will be much cheaper after next patch...
Maybe sell and buy back after release?

It is very likely if you do sell and buy back stature. All your stature , keys essences, will become 99 after few month new patch release and have some extra runes...

Your eldest son is reaching puberty soon, right? Just to be safe, you might sell cleverly now and rebuy later.

My advice would be to sell most Worusk statues and organs for Bers/Jahs because prices will drop significantly soon. So if you sell 20 worusk now and "save" the profit, you can buy 40 or 50 worusk for the same, price in 3 months (my guess).

On purely economic considerations I should have sold all my organ sets and keys when RotW was launched (or I should have tried to get as many WL torches as possible out of them)
That aside, I could simply buy all the missing stuff and get them all to 99 within a day (maybe except for the Shards)

But I want to farm the stuff myself and I decided to keep them and make instead some "hunting sessions" with my sons when we have leveled our WLs high enough. I hope this will be far more fun than simply sell all the stuff and buy three nice WL torches. Same with the statues. Therefore, it is indeed very likely that I never hit the 99...

I understand there are some fun in farm, hunt things. I also have fun with some areas.

But there is a range between real use, saved for use, investing. i.e.
I know I normally only do 3 uber per week with my friend on same pc. Then I will only keep 9 uber things in hand, let other things into market. anyway, people have tendency to stay original style.

Due to the torch value already drop to stable...I did some buy back

Key of Hate lately. it is about 1

Key of Hate become 10x

Key of Hate now...I can easily recover my early sell by 3-6

Jah.

But return to original initial intention , the extra thing, it doesnt make more fun unless you need to use it.

So I guess you might be right in some way, no need to have so much complex thing to get something you wont use....

For me, I wont run more than 5 uber per week ... but trying to use different equipment to play .

My goal is about designing/putting together builds and testing these how well they work, mostly for party play with my two kids. I'm a scientist and this is like planning experiments and then seeing the results. It seems silly to do this online (lots of trading required that takes plenty of time unfortunately) instead of offline using a hero editor, but that way we could not test it for party play. I guess if it was still possible to play over your home LAN then we would stop playing online...

Making and gearing out some builds that I have never done before and always wanted to try. Other than that I am just happy with simply farming items and trading them , the trading aspect kinda keeps me playing.

I still have yet to find an SoJ in the wild.

Spamming NM Andy runs since Cata 4 is level 43. Or, I guess you could do TZ Normal areas since it is lvl 45 and that is likely less monotonous.

A

Holy Fire Pally w/ only lvl 25 you can walk around TZ Normal/all of A1 NM and essentially all the normal monsters die on the 1st tick. I stuck all the FRW charms I'd found and made a Harmony Bow for A1 merc so I could have

Vigor; 36% charms + 30%

Boots + 37%

Vigor = 103% FRW. You just zoom around and watch everything on the screen die simultaneously.

Hexfire + A Spirit Pally shield and basic MF gear to hit 300+ percent.

Pally looks cool decked out in

Gold IMO.

That is a sick as build visually! Love the look.

And I have a really close build for my Firedin as well.

I suppose I never thought of running Normal TZ's for better odds at the ring. I'm gonna check it out.

Funny thing with this game: I've already found

Tyrael's Might, before chronicle, but I found one - no SoJ tho lol.
I traded for a couple, so I do have 2, just never found one in the wild w/o target farming.
I'm gonna check this out bc I still need some low lvl uniques to fill out the chronicle.

Appreciate you brother.

Finding a

Latent Bone Break charm and upgrade it to Renewed Bonebreak with -5 to -10 to enemy physical Damage resistance, it would benefit my WW Barn & Summon Necro & Summon Warlock alot.
and get my classess to 99,

Frozen Orb Sorc at 90,
Warlock at 91, Barb at 88 Necro at 88.
Oh and find a

Diadem & Imbue at

Charsi's to get +2 Warlock / Demon Skills,
20% Faster Cast rate, hopefully with +2 or +3 sockets so I could add

Cham rune, a -5% to enemy fire res / +5% Fire skill dmg Facet jewel &

Um rune for extra 15% resistance.
got 8

Charsi Imbue quest left, then I'll have to reroll diadems with perfect skulls.

Now that today's patch finally fixed the chronicle rewards constantly toggling themselves off again, I guess the new priority goal is to finally get the last 8 uniques to finish off the rest of the chronicle. Too bad that's somewhat hard to control. ^^

Only have one goal every ladder I play at; gear up and get Enigma. The current(?) ladder completely failed on the Enigma. Something has changed, nothing drops no matter how much I grinded. Absolutely nothing.
Had a struggle to get any gear after mid-game. I had dropped decent gear before endgame and throughout the whole ladder the time spent playing, found very little improvements to gear nor any higher end runes.

There was one good higher rune,

Ohm.
This was picked by cheater of some kind most likely as I was standing on top of it and couldnt pick it up no matter how I moved and clicked it and then someone ran from further away and just casually picked it like nothing.

Ping was stable, everything else worked just fine, just couldnt pick the rune. Absolutely was able to pick everything around it, but not the rune. This is why Im saying it was a cheater, there are plenty of tools to lag people out not to be able to pick up things.

Anyways, the

Ohm wouldnt of have helped anyway, there just was no drops what so ever and this is why I do not plan to continue next ladder. The warlock release did something to drop rates or something to something as ive never had this terrible ladder.
