    [1.09] Patriarch galpal reaches 99 - using Baranar's Star

    This one took a bit longer... just kidding, it's 1.09 :ROFLMAO: Early Levels Much like rust this character was rushed in 1.07 to receive level 42 via the first two ancient quests but other than than not much is known about his early days. He somehow didn't have the third ancient quest when I...

    [1.09] Patriarch rust reaches 99 - with only 20 hours from 95 to 99!

    And again! Early Levels rust started out in 1.07 as part of a batch of rushees and received level 42 via the first two ancient quests. He was then forwarded to 1.09b and leveled using a Ribcracker, primarly in NM act 5 where the Ribcracker still did acceptable damage. After that he switched...

    TC3 Hunting Tournament - Interest Gauge

    It's been four years since the second TC3 hunting tournament now and the original host, @T72on1 , has vanished. I would like to resurrect this tournament from the dead because I believe it would be a lot of fun. The idea is simple, you have 15 hours to find as many TC3 items as possible with a...

    [1.00] Baron Cryptographer the UT IM/BG Necro, immune to Hephasto

    A while back I completed three untwinked barons in 1.00, but only bothered to post two of them, the paladin and the barbarian. Now I'm rectifying this over half a year later. For my third baron I chose a necromancer and he is easily the safest out of the three. The basic build idea is to go for...

    [1.07-1.08] Cubing Miniguide

    Welcome to the cubing miniguide for 1.07-1.08. This is supposed to serve as a reference of all non-crafting cube recipes in these patches and at the same time explain the mechanics of the most popular formulas. If a recipe is not in this thread it is either a craft, not enabled or simply doesn't...

    [1.07-1.08] Crafting Guide

    Welcome to the crafting guide for 1.07-1.08! So far most information on crafting in these patches was spread across various forum posts in the SPF and in the minds of the more experienced time travellers. The last guide on crafting in 1.07 was written about a decade ago by @WoRG who has...

    [1.00] Baron Jerry Steinfeld the UT WW Barb, tougher than expected

    Only a week since my last Baron but 1.00 just has a hold on me! This time I went for Barbarian thinking that it would be easier than Paladin. I was wrong. Turns out WW actually has to hit stuff whereas hammers don't care one bit about that :rolleyes: Normal Jerry Steinfeld first saw the light...

    Sanctuary and Tornado

    I vaguely remember reading that the "Ignore Undead Physical Resistance" effect of the Sanctuary aura also worked on physical damage spells, for example for a Druid wielding Azurewrath/Lawbringer while casting Tornado. Am I crazy? There's people claiming both things when I google it and no...

    [1.00] Baron Pius XIII the UT Hammerdin vanquishes Diablo in 20 seconds

    I was in the mood to play some untwinked 1.00 and read up on potential builts in the Time-Traveler's Vortex by @Helvete : I have to say that this is absolutely not true. Hammerdin is a powerhouse in 1.00 due to the insane Concentration "Synergy" to Blessed Hammer. In fact Blessed Hammer and...

    [1.09] Blender Assassin guide by lextalionis

    This is a repost of the Blender Assassin guide by lextalionis from the old dii.net strategy compendium. Note that it only works for 1.09 since 1.10 nerfed Blade Shield badly. You can find the original article on the web archive...

    [1.09] Matriarch root reaches 99 - still doesn't know her mecenary's aura

    Finally! :cool: Early Levels root started out in Classic 1.00 as one of my eight first characters and was raised on the blood of maggot babies until she finally reached level 67, just enough to wear a +2 to skills amulet. You can see her in this screenshot I posted a year ago in the OBP...

    SPF Hall of Experience

    Introduction Welcome to the XP version of the Hall of Records! This thread came to be when @Luhkoh and me realized that there was no place where people could compare their leveling performance. Most reports of leveling times are scattered across multiple 99er threads and are usually buried...

    Calculator for Resistance Distributions of Unique and Superunique Monsters

    As you may well know it is an absolute pain to calculate the chances for a unique monster to have a certain resistance %. Because of the way that the monster modifiers are applied (order matters and so do base resistances) you basically have to simulate every possible modifier roll to get the...
