Couple logouts due to freeze boxes, one due to leaping into crit shrine and desyncing, act 2 attack speed gloves... other than that, just pretty standard. Ass docks though jeez, especially my last two. Only got a gemcutter box once. Last edited by boof on Nov 15, 2014, 4:08:21 AM	Posted by boof on Nov 15, 2014, 4:06:41 AM Quote this Post
Accidentally went to docks at level 24 because I'm not used to fixed seed, still had pretty good RNG/Placement despite the mistake CharanJaydemyr:some people need to really rethink how they spend their money....I will trash this item if I ever find it on principle...I've seen much cleverer "troll" items get turned down, so I guess GGG gave up trying to enforce that one. Not GGG's finest hour. poeurl.com/bD4E	Posted by RichMoney on Nov 15, 2014, 4:09:57 AM Quote this Post
So how does one go about running a second character? I saw during sign-in that a lot of accounts had two characters.* I also noticed those names featured strongly in the achievements I saw popping up on-screen as I was playing through. So do you need to play through with two characters somehow to do well? Or have someone play another toon on your account? I see Throzz came fourth and he was running ThrozzSig and ThrozzMule. ??? [*] I screen-shotted a couple to check against results - got Throzz' toons listed on a screenie. ~DemiDemon~ Playing almost every day since Beta version 0.9.1 in 2011.

Wtf using quote breaks it, anyway it's for comment above. In longer races it's worth it to make a 'mule' to grab a skill gem that will make your life easier. You also get extra flasks and wisdom scrolls. If you do take the time also second shot at getting coral ring/ms boots of vendors. You play mule character for like 1min but it enables your main character build and/or shaves off multiple minutes of progressing by making it stronger. //Edit somehow it broke during posting :) Last edited by Niktos on Nov 15, 2014, 11:17:47 AM	Posted by Niktos on Nov 15, 2014, 11:14:53 AM Quote this Post
" Niktos wrote: You play mule character for like 1min but it enables your main character build and/or shaves off multiple minutes of progressing by making it stronger. Thanks Niktos. How is the mule played though? It's a solo race so it can't be in the same party (can it?). Is it on another computer or two instances of PoE on one? Sorry for all the questions - I'm just very curious. I've been playing since beta and know zilch about this practice. Cheers, [edit] Last question for GGG; Is it within the spirit of the game to do this? It's supposed to be a "solo" race - it says right there at the top of the announcement. ~DemiDemon~ Playing almost every day since Beta version 0.9.1 in 2011.
