alright so

merveil drops



basically the best thing ever

but

can't make a woodsplitter until level 15 (no quality items anywhere)

cant make a poleaxe until level 19 (had to buy quality items off the vendor to make the whetstone this time)

can't find or chrome GR links for faster attacks leap slam (i tried real hard), which basically nullifies the godly gloves

then after the poleaxe fiasco RNGsus immediately drops me



OK! Links and damage, it's a sword but that's ok, I'm gonna be fine!

Then a frenzy charge discharger 1-shots me at lvl21

Thus ends the trollest race ever

I hope you can take some pleasure from my misfortune
Stuck with RR until lvl 24, unbelievable.....
what up cuzz
Rank 21 6th shadow - Farmed northern forest starting at 16. After mistakenly believing there were side quest rewards this race, I did fairgraves. I decided from the beginning I'd just farm northern forest, and will probably just never go to warehouse at this point, because every time I go to warehouse I get there with ~10 mins left at level 19-20, and finish at level 22-23 or just die to a discharger.

Didn't get great RNG early (no ms no qs)
and was kinda slow in a1, so stayed in a2 this time

10% ms dropped at L14
crafted all weapons upto poleaxe was ready to use 54% ipd Jagged maul
Spoiler
but



dropped at L21

didn't get good pack RNG, 25 to 27 were insanely slow :(

Spoiler


Edit:

this was 4 items that dropped in like last 5 min which I didn't ID... wat
Spoiler


Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)

Level 25, 25th, 6T - Level 25, 25th, 6T - Best Winterheart race for me so far (which isn't saying much). No major mistakes, other than the usual getting lost. Might have had time to advance past Northern this time, but didn't try (it hasn't been worth it the other times I've tried). Improved my Brutus time by about 2 minutes. I'm just not good at getting to him quickly.
