Hmm, that didn't go too well ...
20 hours of CS has been completed with my would-be-UT99er Lightning Sorceress.
At 10 hours I had three qualifiers. At 20 hours, I still only have three qualifiers
.
They came at:
0 hours and 46 minutes
6 hours and 10 minutes
8 hours and 47 minutes
The best rune drop was the one that came at 46 minutes. So, I guess I just about nailed my prediction in the Round #2 results thread. I suspected that I'd used up all my luck in Round #2 and in the few days in between rounds (where I got a Cham and Ohm out of the CS). And, as it turns out, I had one more decent rune left in my hot streak. Then crickets . Oh well. It was fun while it lasted!
I'd like to have a better showing but I've only had (and will only have) one day off from work for the whole of the Round #3 time period. So, given how long it's taken me to get to 20 hours (even with that one day off) I guess I'm calling it quits for Round #3 and my first RFL .
Good luck to everyone still running!
I'd post some non-qualifiers from the last 10 hours, but, work calls ... maybe later ...
Edit:
And I'm back. Hmm. Let's see what I can find ... The last 10 hours weren't very good for non-qualifiers either ... I mean there were the usual suspects ... Harlequin Crest, Andariel's Visage, Stormshield, Reaper's Toll ... all useful stuff but lacking pizazz. I guess I'll just go with a couple of TC 78 Grailers (for this character):
From Diablo. (Yes, it's so unimpressive an item that I forgot to take a screenshot when it dropped.)
Now Doombringer, is an item that I do like!
Oh, and also:
Okay. That's it. Happy hunting everyone!

I'm at just under 8 hours in The Pit with zero qualifiers. No interesting Uniques either. I didn't expect much, but nothing?
At least the XP is climbing.
At least the XP is climbing.
I did find one more along the way. About 12 hours in now - still running everywhere, so not too efficient I guess
some other non qualifiers!
realized I didn't have yet
and.... a 139 shako!

Even though I may not be farming in popular areas, 14 hours in with literally zero qualifiers.
Highest runes have been 1 Lem and 2 Fal.

Just hit the 10-hour mark, and my Paladin is at 95.1 after starting at 92. I had forgotten how quickly characters can level in CS if they can manage the runs. I abandoned 3-seal runs after the first hour because it took more attention for de Seis than I was wanting to expend for a 20-hour set. He's picked up a full compliment of qualifiers but no more, after he got 4 over the first 4.5 But then a big dry spell until just before hour 9.
He's only picking GCs and interesting uniques and rare circlets, after starting with SCs and rare rings. But it took too much time to put those in the cube, and especially with low odds of a nice one, I figured streamlining was the way to go. He picked up an eth Blackleach Blade, to bring me to -10 for eth exceptional uniques, which was nice. He also got a Martial Arts skiller with high lightning damage, which is a good compliment to my skiller collection, plus this Sanctuary base:
Good luck over the last week+ all!

Finished up my 20 hour set in the Arcane Sanctuary with my FoHdin. Ended with 9 total qualifiers. Besides the Gheed's, Seraph's and Viper from the first 10 hours, the next 10 brought some more good non-qualifier drops.
2nd Gheeds (100/13/40)
Shako (138 Def.)
Raven Frost (245AR/17 DEX)
2nd Viper (28@)
Pally Combat Skiller
Ended the 20 hours with 34 Hate Keys as well.

Completed my set with Artemis (1.07HC RoF & CS)... very, VERY happy with my results!! 3 qualifers, which considering its 1.07 should at least get me some points for the round
But NON-qualifiers were the really exciting thing for me... I've already posted about getting Corpsemourn (a grailer for me in 1.07), but De Seis's pack dropped me a 1.07 Naj's Puzzler!!!! This was by far the hardest remaining grail item on my list!! (down to Bane Ash and Trang Oul's Guise now, which should be comparatively easy to get, the former from Andy w/unique-forcing MF, the latter by racking...)
Lots of other great non-qualifiers, including 8 skillers with a good suffix!!
Lots of other great charms, too, and while 1.07 jewels are generally blah, I was at least getting enough of them that I ended the round 20 jewels up, despite crafting quite a bit along the way... crafted a great pair of gloves (+3P&M, 20IAS, 15%CB) too! All told, a great 20 hrs!!
As there is still a week to go, and I've been on a roll here, I'm gonna start a second set with my 1.08 Whirlbarb, Dervish, running the Ice caves in Act5... maybe I can pick up a 1.08 Windforce!! (or at least Mav's bow...)
@PhineasB You didn't include score tables for 1.08 for this round... should I just use the ones from round 1 or 2? It is OK to run in 1.08 this round, right?

@WoRG congrats on those non qualifiers! The skillers are quite nice. And yes, v1.08 is okay. I think the scores should be same as round 1 table but @art_vandelay will know for sure.

RFL 2021 When?
@maxicek asked when RFL might fall this spring, so I figured I should post a thread to gauge interest and finalize the schedule. I was thinking to keep the same general timeline of starting mid-March, so either 12 March or 19 March for Round 1 start and Round 3 wrapping up at the end of May...
www.purediablo.com
Only 3 hours in, don't think I'll be able to finish more than half a set until this ends... Work and RL in general struck again.
Perhaps next time we can consider relaxing the schedule a little? It might be just me, workload these last few months and generally less time to play than in the past, but overall it feels a bit tight.

I think it's very important to take advantage of the first Saturday/Sunday when the Tournament starts. If you miss it, time will be pushing you hard.
I agree that time seems limited with RL stuff as I had issues myself finishing the sets but for a 3round tournament extending it may be too much. The Tournament is already running for over a Month and I felt at times that I can't do anything else until I finish my set. Perhaps a more limited time will force you play and break free of this commitment sooner.

Just hit the 5 h mark. Runeluck is very poor, but it seems bow-luck is where it is at for me. Apart from the 14ed +3 skill mat bow I now also own a 12% ed 4 oS Blade bow. (And a 15%ed 3skill stagbow, thought I am not sure how useful that will be. Maybe for twinking?)
just wrapped up my 20 hr set, don't think I'll have enough for another - 2 qualifiers, nothing to write home about

12 hours in. No qualifiers , Fal being the highest, and about the only decent Item I've found is eth Frostwind. Have been runing some AS and a couple of WSK. However, mostly running from the City of the Damned through killing Diablo at p8. No problem for my Zealot, but slow. Think I will switch full time to Arcane Sanctuary since at least I'm finding runes there.

6 hours into my 2nd set, with my 1.08 whirlbarb Dervish... running Bonesaw, Drifter Cavern, and Icy Cellar, plus assorted boss/champ packs in Glacial Trail & Ancients Way that spawn along the way...
No qualifiers yet...
But I did get a 1.08 Eaglehorn!! (Not obtainable in 1.07!)
Also got Nosferatu's Coil from Bonesaw...
Have gotten some crafting runes (nothing good from it tho...), and some decent charms & jewels, but nothing really noteworthy...
Gonna go ahead and officially lodge my complaint about no qualifiers, though... hoping not to have a repeat of last round where I had no qualifier until right at the very end...

Another 4 hours, halfway done...
Still no qualifiers... upping the volume and intensity of my complaining!
Some nice non-qualifiers, starting with a 1.08 Cranium Basher:
1.08 Baranar's Star:
Ethereal Titan's... usually awesome, but the replenish is so slow on 1.07/1.08 Titan's I doubt they're useful:
Another 1.08 Harly... always welcome:
I have died a couple times while running, once to an Extra Strong chargy undead boss while Amp'd, and once to a FE+CE drifter's death explosion while convicted, but this next drop should put a stop to that... 1.08 Arkaine's, baby!!
Like in 1.07, Arkaine's gives massive +Vit, and also like in 1.07, BO works on it!! Dervish hasn't taken any damage here, his life bulb was full before he slapped on the Arkaine's and then BO'd (also like in 1.07, BO only increases MAX life/mana, current life is unchanged, so it makes it look like you've taken a lot of damage...) 6.5K life now!
I also got a couple outstanding jewels, a max roll Ruby jewel of Fervor (not blue, though), and a very nice 6 affix rare that's like a great swiss army knife of good utility mods:
As the coming weekend is Mother's Day weekend, I'm not positive I'll have time to finish this set, but I'm gonna try... it'd help if only some runes would start dropping!!

Closing in on the end of the round! I'm at 15 hours on my set with the full weekend ahead, but have quite some work this weekend. So I'm not sure I'll get all the way to 20 hours, but should be close.
Please remember to send results as soon as you finish running for the round, or let me know if you didn't run. Thanks to those who've already sent results, and good luck to everyone still running!
