Note: A Purest Challenge is not to twink any character, use paragon points, or use any outside help and progress in Hardcore. Inspired by a post on d2jsp by Bubonic. I chose to start at Expert difficulty and do Bounties (RNG selected) and Rift runs.
Time constraints will prevent me from documenting every Rift and Bounty. In reality, some of the bounties or rifts are ho hum with not much happening.
For this update, I ran two Rifts and three Act IV bounty sets. Yes, Act IV is favored by the RNG and is on a three-bounty win streak. The image dump are some of the highlights.
Battling these elites was touch and go due to the molten affix.
Legendary bracers!
I'm still wearing them at Level 48. A couple of rares tempted me to switch over, but they lacked any damage mitigation (lack of all resists or a single resist). I'm holding on to the bracers a little longer.
I gambled this sweet flail, which included a socket. I tossed in my first square emerald.
I also tried my hand at gambling with Kadala. I was reaching the 500 cap on shards and went for a combination of helmets and belts and shoulders. No upgrades - - sad face.
Whoa! This was a hairy fight. Elites are becoming more and more dangerous. They are also grouping closer together, so the chances of pulling more than one pack is more likely.
Well now...this could be interesting.
Let's go in for a closer look.
Awwww yeah!!!! Holy DPS boost Batman! After getting the Zweihander, white mobs and elites started dying quicker. My clear time is much faster. Depending on the bounty set, they take about 25 minutes. I'm smashing elites, depending on affix, in less than 2 minutes.
First time I did the 100+ monster clear to get an extra chest.
I dyed my new chest piece and helmet. I look very Bedouin.
