Well I got to level 30 and 178 polished sparkling gems. Time has come to incorporate that clear and reload tactic. The only problem with this is I cannot accurately count the gems but I will try.

Have you not looted one in any prior builds? I think you have.
I have 247 polished sparkling gems and counting.

oh yes, my vampire build!
but he got too strong...
Level 104
my plan is to stay at - or - under level 60,
get all the L & E items & save Skill Points after taking IF2 & CS2
(8 points & counting!)
he will be my base hero for testing new releases
(tons of skills saved for new skills)

I just started a new game yesterday to use as a base before choosing any sides, mostly after getting the idea from Aspen's neutral quest topic, and from Samuel doing the same for a long time (maybe still?).
Except I plan to level him up as much as possible, and do any quests that don't explicitly require choosing a side (so helping the Thieves Guild or bringing back Bonemeal potions is ok). But this base build will also go after all the L&E items. So far, I've only gone after those on my main game because it felt like there were enough store bought or boss drop items and skills to mimic the same effects.
I'm guessing the ROL hunt will take longer without being able to cross that bridge if I don't side with BWM or Prim and get the Kazual quest started though.

With MF at level 5 (for me,) the calculation is based off a scale from 0 to 100.
So, the skill gives me a .035% chance at grabbing something good... The way to find out exactly what the *average* kill rate per drop is simple. 100 divided by .035... And the answer is something around 2850 kills on average for the desired drop.
So just divide 100 by whatever your bonus percentage is, and that is your rough Target
Would be no challenge if it cut the total by 50% each time... Would only take me an average of 312 kills per legendary...

I just reached the half way mark as I just reached 500 sparkling polished gems.
Hopefully it won't take other 500.
In 6 days I accumulated 322 gems utilizing clear and reload. In reality I still have 178, as reloading
wipes out what I just accumulated during that "load".

Rocks: 600
Gems:750
i have totally given up on XP at this point...
(this test character cant be too strong now)
so i have shifted to reload hunting 100% of the time...
i kill all the Spawns, leaving the Imps & save.
kill everything red (8 Imps) & tap the hero icon
no RoL? reload!
no Spawns left to get in the way,
they wont be dropping the RoL anyway.
[NICE & QUICK]
best of luck to the hunters out there!!!
i plan to be stealing life shortly!
Code: Select all
if i wanted the XP, i go in and NEVER kill a Spawn...
the imps respawn very quickly & you can kill a LOT more than 8 in three mins
almost every single time - no need to kill & wait for three mins...
just keep walking around dodging spawn!
(gives you something interesting to do while waiting for respawns)
ctnbeh13 said he thought mobs respawned faster if you kept moving.
[and after experimenting, i concur!]

I will not be taking my character over lvl 50 (until next update). He is already a killing machine
I only use the "reload" tactic when hunting for equips, it is quite fast, and affective.
