Extraordinary items and leveling plateaus

Post by BethelAbba »

So... I got my helmet, though I wasn't trying for it. Was simply using that cave as my spot for levelling between 48-56. It dropped on my 644th shaman.

I currently have MF at 2, and my next available point won't be until 64.

But here's the thing. I have now killed 6480 Shadow Priests and.... squat. They refuse to cooperate with me. It's so bad that I've started calling my new girl "the rock collector". (She presently has 1700 of them)

Anyone else out there have similar woes and tales of frustration?

Also, I am likewise beginning to believe that 1-60 is LOW LEVEL in this game. In a all my (usually summers) time of playing, I have never broken the 60th level mark. Usually that is as far as my summer downtime allows me to get to. Thoughts on this? If 1-60 is basic training, then 61-120(125?) would be advanced and 130-200 (for sure) would be expert. Anything above 200 would be a master level character.

Looking forward to the comments here.

Last time I tried for the RoLS it took around 7000 kills for the first ring, the second only took around 500 more. I never put more than 2 points in MF.
The RoL took almost 10k kills.
You can play and even finish all of the quests without trying for any if the Legendary or Extraordinary items.
I usually finish the quests by around level 45.
After that I go for the Legendary and extraordinary items.
Once I obtain all of them I alternate between going to Remgard and the Green Maze to grind.

I should note that I have also had four tablets (Asus, Sony and Acer) over the last 5 years that I have been playing and never carried my old characters over or backed up the game files. Thus every summer when I have serious time for gaming, I usually ended up starting a new character as well and seeing how far they'd go.

What's truly sad is my Acer bought last May, died ignominiously in October... carrying with it my only two RoLS rings I'd ever gotten.

I despise you, Acer... you suck.

Sure - though I don't know what shamans and priests you refer to... :?

For my first Rapier of lifesteal I had to kill over 19k Kazaul imps, though the Elytharan redeemer only took 894 kills (same odds).
Another frustrating one: I got 5 Silk robes of Valugha (867+487+5894+21+259 kills) before getting Valugha's shimmering hat after another 532.

That's probability for you - there are no guarantees.


You might want to try a load&loot strategy with four weakened targets around you. Extraordinary items can be found in a few hours like that.

I got Shadowfang by pure luck when playing an alpha build of the game. But all savegames from alpha and beta builds are poisoned so that they can't be used in release versions, so I had to give it up :cry:
