How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^

I started the league late because I actually planned on skipping it because of animal cruelty (not joking). After I got convinced that I should try it and a friend who hasn't played for a long time also wanted to, I tried hard to convince myself that they're just pixels after all and am now playing in BSC and BSCSSF.
Best find so far:
(level 24)
Planning on building a bleedsplosion SST Gladiator, so this dagger did come in handy. The second unique I found. The other was a Wise Oak.

Yesterday started questing because was farming Goroshi.

Current setup:

Playing is usually more interesting than posting in the beginning of new league...

Really feeling that this league mechanic is good for SSF. Although lots of people are complaining about the beasts and capturing mechanics - which I agree with to an extent - the much increased availability of semi-deterministic unique generation has made build enabling items much more accessible.

I dont have a strong opinion on the top level design of the league. But I do have a strong opinion on the current state: It is unfinished and unrefined. IMO the worst league mechanic I have played so far. There is just too much hassle with too many unknowns and too little feedback/explanation for the player.

Share your sweet finds fellow SSFers.

Not much to share at this point - dropped a Tabula and an 'Added Chaos Damage' during story:

Currently dont have much of a goal this league. Maybe do some Bestiary things once the worst bugs are fixed. For now I am just trying to do all T1-T5 maps in Atlas.

Pretty sexy axe for a5. :)

Easy game from here on.

THIS helped me a ton!

I've been playing a lot since the league started, got two characters to maps now. My most notable finds:

Playing a champion wander atm, feels pretty good - especially once you get your adrenaline running all the time.

Nice!

I've never owned one before, much less found one.
This begs building around.
What a great start to a League! :)

it's going

Still "stuck" at ~T2 maps trying to get those no-upgrade T3 to drop. Not sure if I just have bad RNG or sth.

But got lucky with uber trials yesterday. Got last at lvl 83 ~2h before end - uber lab had easy mods so I did it right away. Build is still clunky and slow though. Clunky prob because of me not having done lab since early last league, slow because I dont use weapon with IAS. And Im on a 4link without Wither so Izaro/Argus took a while. Easy facetank though.
First enchant scored exactly what I wanted:

Plus jewels - can use FB totem now for mapping. Plan is to at least level up a FB:


Build/gear used for lab - Dark Pact totems. Will prob go back to Tabula + Bladefall for my ~T2 grinding:
Passive Tree lvl 84

Still clueless about beast crafting. Have captured a bunch of beasts but not tried much yet.
