Greetings, fellow diablo2.io members!
The time has come to yet again embark on a hardcore journey. This will be the third one - the first time, I went Sorceress and made it to Hell Ancients where I met my ultimate demise, and the second time, I tried Necromancer (decided by a random roll) and made it all the way to the end, defeating Baal on Hell. 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. As a bonus, I may attempt to kill Dclone and do Uber Tristram, I haven't decided yet. I have no idea how long this is going to take, or rather... how far I'll get before I die. Because it's very likely that I'll die before I reach my goal.
This time, like the last, I drew a class randomly, but left out both Sorceress and Necromancer from the roll since I already tried those two classes.

How to win SC NL prizes;
- Correctly guess how and when I will die.
- Correctly guess that I complete the whole SSF playthrough.
- If nobody wins either type of guess, a prize will go out to a single participant, randomly selected.
- Last time to guess was before I began I begin Hell.
- 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)
(I have completed Hell)
NOTE: These prizes are available on SC NL (softcore non-ladder) only.
These are the parameters you need to guess:
- Enemy type
- Act
- Area
- Difficulty
You can still win a prize for being partially correct.
- If you get three of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize based on how far I got.
- If you get all four of these parameters correct, you win the listed prize x2.
- 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.
Grand prize details
- [SC NL] Two 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.
- [HC NL] A Cold Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
- [HC NL] A Nova Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
All links point to maxroll.gg . None of the builds are "perfected", lots of poor/mid rolls, subpar charms, etc. They are basically former ladder characters of mine, that I no longer have any use for. I've tweaked them slightly specifically for this giveaway (just some minor improvements). The HC NL items were provided by mockingbirdreal.
- 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).
If you pick one of the gearsets, you will also get a Token of Absolution, and if you want, a full grush*.
* 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
