Boots from vendor and wep from brutus. :D

Off of merveil, if only this was a sig :P
not a single tp or wetstone was found
worst rng ever
Finally my curse is lifted, i lived through this Merveil race. Not the best run, lots of shit layouts but still didn't die :D
2nd time running 90min Merveil, 12 whole seconds faster than my previous run lel.

Uninspiring gear


Errors/RNGlessness
- Clicked survivability talent instead of damage talent near the start (should have gone attack speed instead of Armour Evasion Life.)
- Didn't get any necklace drops or good potion drops before Merveil. No TP scrolls so had to kite a lot.

The Crypt 2 vs City of Sarn debate
In my previous 90min posts, I've often wondered if it would be better EXP to farm Crypt 2 or finish Act II and farm Sarn. I decided to use my remaining race time in this race to test the Crypt 2 side of the theory. I ended up just getting level 26, the same level as my Rogue 90min result whereby I cleared A2 then farmed Sarn til the end, although maybe a third of the level less. This was also with the help of the Wurm's Molt drop from Merveil

From all this info and data about Crypt 2 vs Act 2 clear/Sarn, it really feels neck and neck for EXP gains: Crypt 2 is stupidly safe and very fast to get to, but City of Sarn is such a faster levelling zone that it compensates for all the running around clearing Act 2 storymode. Also bear in mind that I had the Wurm's Molt, which is a very solid levelling unique.

In my opinion, Turbo/Brutal race leagues = stick to Crypt 2 for safety, whereas Norm/non-RIP mods = clear Act 2 at a good pace and Farm City of Sarn.

Think I'll take your advice on clearing Act 2 AFTER I achieve my Season 10 goal. I'm on track to get my Alpha's, so I'll rock the boat a little after that. I need to expand my horizons if I'm to get any better. =^[.]^=
