Struggling in Hell LIVE D2R Crafting Only Challenge part 8

julianskigaming: My menu of the day: Microwave tea and well blended soup.
fistingendakenny8781: Love you dude, keep uploading , i work 16 hour shifts so it is nice to watch your videos after a long day
martaskali925: Zarfen I´m enjoying the full lenght videos so much, to clear my brain after whole day of taking care of my 7month daughter. I don´t have energy to play by myself, so you are doing me a favor, playing instead of me. Truly. Also I´m very interested how will you manage to squeeze all this content into 30-40 minutes summary. That´s another challenge I would say
KFC-ff6sz: I think a fun challenge would be to equip whatever drops. once the current fight is over, if an drops that can be equipped you must equip it! and it must follow in order of oldest to newest for items of multiple like ring or dual wield weapons. no cheating by using a sorc or paladin that doesn't need items, but you must also make sure to spend stats wisely so you can equip what might drop! no excuse of "oh i don't have the strength to lose this item to quip that one". Runewords are allowed if your currently equipped gear can be made into one, but be weary.... a spirit can be replaced by cracked leather armor!
RocktheCpop: Best and worst stream ever. Seriously love your weird challenges, exactly how I used to play and customize characters. I did a frequent hardcore and softcore elemental druid named Arctic Jack back in the day just for lols because frozen breath has always been so underpowered. So I appreciate the grind.
sarchmaster5779: I think the challenge would be better if it was only your character that was limited to crafted, but your merc could use anything.
That way you'd do better because the merc would be stronger, and you would have an opportunity to use some of those neat drops you now just have to vendor.
telezon7206: Love the leveling, and farming, and shopping, and grinding, and theorycrafting. 12/10. Only lost a point for ever doubting Emilio. Cheers <3
MattRissler: Edit to challenge idea. Everything must use a rune in some way. Rune words, crafting recipes, upgrade recipes, other cube recipes that use runes that I'm forgetting. Not sure which class fits the theme best.
Flodis: Can you craft charms? They take up a lot of your inventory, and you allow found charms anyway, so... If they are socketable, they might even help you with resists? EDIT: I think I found the answer: Not in the base game. /EDIT
Frejborg: Aww, that lightning act1 merc ability was so cool! I loved it.
elvowofficial: Oh noooooo! I Missed it! You hadn't announced the live schedule on either platforms haha, I thought there wasn't any!!! Going to watch that right now!
justinwilliams4380: i like the axes esp the demon axe. x2 would be insane dmg, would help if one could be an undead version. Thank you for doing the throwing Barb, I really enjoyed watching this.
zufinfluby: There's a run I'd really like to see that might be right up your alley. So it's like MrLlamas ultra hard-core runs except you can do all the town/'healing' stuff if you're already at max health. I think it would create an interesting dichotomy between very careful farming when you've got full health, and very careful Leveling/pushing as soon as you loose even a single HP. It would make a really fun stream too.

Either way, keep up the good work ^.^
c4master703: Here is the good news for you:
Crafting winged axes on level 70 will enable affixlevel 61 which is enough for both, cruel and king's prefix so that theoretically up to 450% ED could roll on them now. Good luck next time, I hope you will get some decent throwing weapons.
TheTamally: The idea of the one-shot challenge is actually really interesting. I think normal difficulty is not too unlikely. NM and H might be impossible though.

Like, there's probably a corpse explosion build that could one shot most of normal. Curses in general would play a large part in any one-shot build. Perhaps poison skills as well.
maxoutthemayhem: Good to see you again!
TheTamally: I'm not sure if it was ever clarified, but there was talk about TZ max level in NM. The confusion I think was that the base area level is maxed at 71, but unique enemies max level is 74.
Loverapten: You reeelly want max War Cry on every barb build for the crowd control stun. For bosses, wand of life tap is more than enough for survivability.
Craah74: Yesss, you're back!
ryanewasiuk9735: id love to catch your streams, but sadly noon to 4 for you is 4am to 8 am for me
SibelDağlı-i4j: The legendary crafts are coming soon I can tell!!
jugginator4390: For the record, Twitch chat voted for concentrate/maul
lukaszabojnik778: are you planning to make some summary video with commentary on this challenge?
barryschalkwijk9388: That guy was somewhat right (it's not exponential) but the bigger the gap is between your min and max dmg, the more valuable min dmg becomes because it raises the floor of your average rolls for damage.
Unless you end up with both on a weapon then it's bugged.
Amerikanskis: There is a Savage polearm recipe.

1 Any Diamond
1 Any Staff
1 Kris
1 Belt

The polearm always spawns with the "Savage" prefix (66-80% Enhanced Damage), has a chance to gain a suffix, and will be item level 50.

The resulting base will be randomly selected from the following pool:
Bardiche
Voulge
Scythe
Poleaxe
War Scythe
Halberd
Lochaber Axe
Bill
Battle Scythe
Partizan
(put another way, any normal polearm or any exceptional polearm other than Bec-De-Corbin and Grim Scythe).

Note: The Kris and Belt may be of any rarity (magic, rare, unique, etc.) or quality (normal, exceptional, or elite).
