Thank you for the hard work! New OP looks great. Also thanks for adding my post into the beginners section! That [Skater] playstyle tag is just perfectly accurate :clap:

Just to point out a typo :wink::

427

@malawiglenn ,Dark One and Krieg are still farmable.For example items like +5BoM is not and is basically impossible to get.Same applies for dual Alkamos or Anasteria hood.

428

Where is the boundary between “farmable” and “Impossible to get”?

Is it the same definition of “budget”? I.e. item can be (what does that even mean btw) obtained in 2-6 hours target farming (are we talking on average here or 95% probability or?)

6 hours, you can do like 40 SoT runs.
That will give you 85% chance to drop the Vanquisher item from SoT at least once.
It will give you 45% chance to drop one of the purple Alkamos rings, at least once.

What I am after is:

  • A clearer distinction what counts as farmable purple MI and what counts as a purple MI that is not allowed in a g3 tag build.
  • Perhaps a re-formulation of what g5 tag means in the “How to Use the Compendium (must read)” section. Getting the Purple Alkamos ring set is not in the same league as “Stonehide Kuba pants of Kings”.

I have 11 Purple Alkamos rings :stuck_out_tongue:
Is soulrend impossible to get? I do not even pick it up anymore looking for better rolls.

429

It’s a typo. I started to type a new sentence before the “MIs are completely forbidden” and stopped midway.
We don’t consider legendary MI’s as proper MI’s because they don’t have affixes. Personally I call bullshit on builds that claim to be g3 and include Calla or Ravager helm, but whatever. Unless high-end builders start to poke me with it I’m not changing it.

It was supposed to be “Using any legendary item that isn’t target-farmable or faction puts the build into this cathegory. MI’s are completely forbidden”. Then I got distracted and ultimately decided to point the former elsewhere (in g2).

You did, thanks for pointing it out.

I don’t get it? What’s wrong with “in twelve minutes”?

Old classification of g3 is

  • g3 : No MI, full legendary/set builds with craftable boots. Also includes +5 (skill) Badge of Mastery builds.

So the way I interpret it g3 allowed +5 BoMs. Same as Calla/Ravager helmets I’d call it bullshit, but since it was ok before I’ll leaving it as is. Conduit builds are traditionally classified as g3, even though some of them are balanced around the particular resistance prefix (I had like 20 different Necro conduits in search of particular combo).
I dropped the sentence about BoMs because g3 allows legendary items in general, so it’s redundant.

Well, since I already acknowledged a typo, I guess I don’t have to answer that?

430

Ok, now it makes perfectly sense :slight_smile:

431

There’s nothing wrong with 12 minutes but you wrote munutes and munites

432

Goddamnit :rofl:
Munites and munutes had been cracked down upon.

433

Btw, for clarification, affixless green MI with legendary set items is (g4) yes?

434

Yes, you got it correct.
