| 261M exp totals, new weapons, Gully dwarf leader is DEAD, R.I.P.

Posted October 17, 2023 ( monk animist tarmalen )

Level: 91

Exp: 261.0M

Reinc: catfolk monk(30)+tarmalen(22)+animist(20) +treenav(3)+navigator(1)

Slow exp gaining continues. Took 3 weeks to get 10M more exp. The monk+animist combo with partial tarmalen levels is somewhat uninspiring combination. While the soul give me more offensive power and takes some hits for me, I miss better unstun and better healing spells.

Weapon shopping

My weapon shopping “spree” also continues: I bought the Malady blade from Doll’s merchant cube for 500k and long pole topped with blazing golden light from Broetchen also for 500k.

The pole probably goes to my rift entities and the Malady blade might become useful in liberator or nomad reincs.

Solo kills: Gully dwarf leader, Hirebrand Davinor

In every monk reinc, I have regularly tested if I can solo Gully dwarf leader from Apollo area. I have been previous unsuccessful, but finally managed to kill it in this reinc. The soul was taking some of the hits, so the dwarf didn’t hit me and I could stay in the battle long enough for full 3 skill monk combo skill series (Wave crest strike, Geyser force kick, Tsunami push). This way I could do more damage faster than the dwarf was regaining with its healing spells.

I also tested soloing Hirebrand Davinor, which was surprisingly easy this time. From Hirebrand Davinor, I got +3 wis amulet, which I actually took into my wis set as the set had the amulet slot free.

My top10 solo kills are now:

Wisdom eqset

In my previous channeller reinc, I noticed that having better wis could give better duration for inner circle protection spells. So, I have started to collect modest wis eqset.

At the moment I have:

Head: King Leo crown, +5 wis
Amulet: Sun samulet, +3 wis
Belt: fulgurite bead belt, +4 wis
Neck: A magnificent silk tie (casual), +3 wis
Bracelet & bracelet: silverstar bracelets, +8 wis
Torso: Holy vest of yak, +5 wis
Leg & Leg: Glittering leg protectors +8 wis +2 hpr
Finger: Alch ring +6 wis +1hpr
Finger: Alch ring +6 wis +1avoid
Cloak: Cape of Knowledge +6 wis
Wielded: The shield of the wind +4 wis +2spr
Wielded: Rust claw the holy hammer +4 wis +1spr
Arm & Arm: Old and worn arm protectors, +4 wis +2 dex
Hand: Green glove, +3 wis

These give me +67 wis. Getting another green glove would raise the bonus to +70, which would then be about same as my int set bonus.
