Well, you can all call me stupid

I put together a Smiter for the new Uber ancients... I decided that I needed those new jewels in my gear and I was told they were very hard to get. Everyone on Reddit is freaking out that all their characters are dying and "maybe" the theorycrafters will have a solution soon....I had to trade a lot of items... but I ended up with:

Level 87 Paladin with 11 skills left, 25 stats, didn't do any of the life potion or stat quests.

Last Wish
Chains of Honor AP

Crown of Ages
Exile Ethereal

Vortex Shield w/ +45 res

Metalgrid

Raven Frost

Wisp Projector

Thundergod's Vigor

Gore Rider

Laying of Hands
6/6/2 Call To Arms
Spirit

Treachery

Mage Plate for prebuff

So, I kill the uber ancients the first time... no problem, no potions, no big deal. I get my first jewel

+9 light
-7 LR
+4 EXP
20 MF

and i look up the prices.......

yeah so i just setup a character that cost idk 20-25

Jah or whatever for jewels that are worth

Sur.. or something

Good lord ... anything else this character might be good at?

30-50

Jah O.o?
Did you get perfect everything for your build?

i['m just guessing.. perhaps that was a little high. perhaps more like 20-25... the shield was 15 alone


either way, the point is that i should have looked at the prices ... for 15

Jah i could have bought all my characters uber jewels

I wasn't judging you. I haven't been following the markets much recently so was thinking maybe they'd shifted.
Yea, those jewel prices tanked a lot, even before the patch.

yeah... i didn't realize that. I caught on to the statues pretty early on and the sunders.... idk why i thought those jewels were out of my price range. i was so caught up in preparing for the patch. i created so many characters in anticipation and just started gearing them. i did make a 6/6/4 and 6/6/2 Call To Arms that i was pretty happy about... but i also made a AmnMalRalIstOhm

Crystal Sword.. so idk...

I find this kinda funny because It’s like tcg pack openers vs single buyers. One saves time and money, while the other spends time and money for thrills. Same goals just different expectations in the journey

Did you test if it’s the same results with an extra player in the game. Cause if so you can set up a players request for like an

Ist or something. Put that character to work haha

Did u kill

Talic first? He actually has more threats than the other when only 2 left. But honestly it would not be much difference to you considering your gear and preparation before you actually execute.
