    posted a message on Sprinter Guide v2 released

    It's taken a while, but my full guide to the Sprinter Conquest is finally available for download!


    Just go to paulius.50webs.com/diablo3.html and choose which of the four parts to download -- or grab the whole thing in one file.


    As with version 1 (which didn't have the Runner sections), the idea is to print the tables and follow along throughout your conquest attempt.


    Part 1: Introduction -- advice for success and explanatory notes for the tables.

    Part 2: Town Camper -- detailed instructions that allow nearly any character to be a good Town Camper.

    Part 3: Runners -- distribution of tasks, important reminders and Maps!

    Part 4: Time Record -- for keeping track of progress and recording for posterity.


    (If you download the full version in one file, you may also want to grab the editable Word version of the Time Record.)


    Sorry about the redirect for two of the files. They're too big for my free web host, so I've had to host them on an ad-sponsored host.


    I'd love to hear any feedback! (But please be respectful.)

    posted a message on Printable Checklist for Kanai's Cube, and other tools

    I've updated my Kanai's Cube Checklist for Season 7 (patch 2.4.2).


    Like before, find it at my Diablo 3 Reference Material page -- shortcut URL is goo.gl/dsru6o


    I've decided to provide both PDF and Word versions (oldschool_2o4f, I'm way ahead of you, but I appreciate the confirmation). The Season 6 version is also available, at the bottom of the page.


    Personally, I save the old version just before each new season, transfer my data (in the form of Wingdings ticks) to the new version, and print out a fresh copy for the new season. Note that, when transferring data between different versions, you'll need to make allowances for the new powers inserted in the list.



    I also have an extensive update to my Sprinter guide in the works, this time also covering the Runners. I expect to put this up on the same page on the weekend or early next week (anyone trying for Sprinter in the first week probably doesn't need my help!).


    HELP! If anyone knows a good, quick way to capture and convert Diablo III area maps to black on white, please get in touch! I could really use your help. (My process takes ages.)


    As always, respectful feedback is very welcome!

    posted a message on Advice on build to get from T6 to T10 this season

    I take it, by the lack of response, that everyone thinks full-set builds are the only option worth putting any thought into.


    Guess I'll have to take my T6 character into a T10 game and annoy everyone else that I can't keep up.

    posted a message on Advice on build to get from T6 to T10 this season

    Hi all,


    I decided to do something different this season and run two characters. Unfortunately, the second one, a Wizard, is suffering from not having a full set of anything. I figure if I could get my Wizard to the point of running T10 without being a burden, the drops would start to fly thick and fast and I could use all the existing build guides (Flash Fire looks awesome). But for now, I'm stuck at T6. And transferring items and blood shards from my first char is slow going.


    So my question is, what's a good build, with my current gear, to get me closer to T10?


    Here's, roughly, what I have:

    • Delsere (4 items): Helm, Chest, Boots, Gloves
    • Tal Rasha (5 items): Source, Helm, Chest, Pants, Gloves
    • Firebird (5 items): Source, Helm, Chest, Pants, Boots
    • Vyr (3 items): Helm, Chest, Shoulders
    • Wands: Unstable (Ancient), Aether, Orpheus, Slorak's
    • Staves: Smoldering Core, Valthek's
    • Sources: Myken's, Etched Sigil, Light of Grace, Primordial, Triumvirate
    • Hats: Storm Crow, Swami
    • Jewellery: Halo of Karini, RRG, Endless Walk set, plus general (could also convert stat on F+R).
    • Other: Cindercoat, Nilfur's Boast, Aquila, APD, Strongarm Bracers, Frostburn, Ranslor's Folly, Mantle of Channeling, Jang's Envelopment.
    • Others in Kanai's Cube *only*: The Oculus, The Twisted Sword, Dark Mage's Shade, Fazula's Chain, The Magistrate.

    I also have most DH and general items with Dex on them. And I have nearly all DH and All-Class items in Kanai's Cube (and many of the Wizard items I mention). I can raise any gems quickly with my solo GR68 Demon Hunter (...just two more ranks to go!...).


    So I know I'm missing a few key items (Wand of Woh, for one!), but I figure I must be able to do better than the naive Disintegrate build I have now.


    I'd love to hear suggestions on:

    1. What build would work best for me with what I have now?
    2. What build would be a good initial goal (until I find my Wand of Woh), and which items am I missing for that?
    3. Any other good builds I'm very close to?

    Thanks heaps for any advice.

    If you'd like me to release a Word version of the Kanai's Cube Checklist that you can fill in electronically (in Word), you can indicate that by voting up this post.

    I'm honoured to be featured in the news feed. I always hope that people find these kinds of things of use when I create them.


    The maintainer noted that you can always Alt-Tab instead of printing. Personally, I maintain that there's significant value in being able to view this kind of information without needing to leave the game. I guess I'm old-fashioned that way. :)


    BTW: I'm wondering if you'd find it useful to have an editable version (in Word format). I've been printing just at the start of each season, but at the end I then fill in a bunch of ticks in Word. If you'd like this, you can vote by liking my follow-up post, below.

    If you're finding it hard to keep track of which items are in Kanai's Cube, particularly between classes or between season and non-season, have I got the tool for you: a printable checklist for all items in Kanai's Cube (recently updated for patch 2.4.1).


    Find it at my Diablo 3 Reference Material page


    You'll also find a Town Camper guide for the Sprinter achievement (likely to return next season), which allows even the slowest character to act as Town Camper (and makes mistakes much less likely). No need to print the intro; jump straight to the quest-by-quest table.


    There's a Time Record table for Sprinter, including rough quest-by-quest timings.


    And there's a Keyboard Layout record table (for when the Powers destroy your custom key bindings). I've included both default key bindings and my own favoured set-up -- definitely reduces finger stress.


    If you'd like to help out with suggestions, corrections, or data gathering for bigger projects, please follow the contact links. I'd love to hear from you. I didn't get a lot of traction on the official Diablo forums, but I figure DiabloFans are likely to be more discerning. :)


    Enjoy!
