Tyria-locked Ironman

Tyria only

No grouping, no trading

No heroes, only henchies

Only selling to dye, material, rare material and runes traders

Can use collectors, armorers, weaponsmiths, material artisans

It do be your fault Excite Blue that I'm doing this

First title complete.

Bro never stood a chance. It's ok guys, I stopped the searing!

Yo wtf.

Need an opinion on a few things relating to the spirit of the challenge:

*Accessing The Battle Isles, yay or nay? I'm thinking for Z quests only.

*Z coins for larger bags, yay or nay? Think it should be ok.

*Z coins for zkey, yay or nay? I'm thinking nay, but I like fancy skins...
#prerequisites: - Completed NM

- Weapon/shield must be a copy of the current weapon/shield

*Pcons, summoning stones, tomes, yay or nay? I'm thinking nay on all but Honeycombs.

*Deldrimor weapon, yay or nay? I'm thinking nay, unless I already have a weapon with the same stats. Other greens are fine.

Had to buy it, like a pleb.

Bit of a cheeky move, but I wasn't in a Maguuma mood.

Surely this axe will hold me until Droknars.

30 minutes later...

What a trustworthy fellow.

First gold max sword c:

Time to bully the elderly, with secret OP hax0r build.

Best farm myself a max armour before I infuse stuff.

Making friends and dolla dolla bills with Ettins.

Very professional.

Only 10 iron, 10 wood and 400 gold?? What a steel!

GG shield and axe. Trading them for mini Kanaxai! NO LOWBALL, I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!

Tactical POG.

Fancy.

Friendship ended with Ettins. Now Grawl is my best friend.

Vanquish Kryta now, or torture myself with WiK mobs?

Is it 2005 already?

Get terrain-blocked, idiot.

I can't believe I clutched this.

The MVP of Twin Serpent Lakes.

All in a days work.

I'm not planning on doing EotN Adinay, unless I come to a point where my (very limited) skill at the game won't be enough.

HM missions honestly seem unlikely for me, especially the 4man missions, since the henchmen AI and skillbars leave much to be desired, and warriors get cooked by the anti melee. That might end up having me do EotN, grab heroes and give them Tyrian only builds (and do everything I can in EotN, of course).

HM missions start after I vanquish everything though. Those I will painchamp with henchmen and 8man trains from TotA, after farming approximately 42069 Honeycombs during the anniversary event.

Twelve more months and I can buy a bag!

*Michael Jackson noises*

Mission, bonus and exploring, all at the same time. It's called Eve fish in sea, or something.

Just a slow NM Maguuma day, and finishing all bonuses.

</3 Rest well, our favourite spoiler-related boss

The 12 Ettins outside Beetletun drop more and better runes, than the 35 Grawls in Witman's Folly, it's kinda crazy. Gonna have to wait on the last mission until I'm done farming those bastards; it gets annoying with WiK active...

So 24/25 for the foreseeable future ._.

Low energy day.

Some Ettin farming.

First q8 and ecto from my first TotPK attempt.

Soon followed by a wipe kekw.

A quick think about why we died and an elite skill capture later, this abomination of a build was born.

And it made all the difference.

Sick cat+MTG night=not much progress.

Undead chicken redeadified.

Farmed Ettins some and was wondering if Sentinel's Insignia even drop in Tyria? Yet to see one drop, and I want 5 of those bastards.

justice I mean, you're not wrong. But I'll be doing everything but the Crystal Desert and Watchtower Coast as an 8man group from TotA.

Dunes of Despair is living up to it's name. Best attempt out of 10ish. Would have had it if 3 Scarabs didn't pop up right at the end or if the warriors didn't run away. Had to take a break for the rest of the day.

Might as well if Kepkhet is the ZBounty.

Some money and the last rune for IDS farming.

...and then I get it on the very first group. Bruh.

Physiotherapy has been kicking my butt for the last few days, finally felt like playing again.

Quick ZMission Elona Reach from a couple of days ago.

Choo choo, here comes the [REDACTED] train.

Warrior rupt, new meta.

Pain.

Here's to hoping I don't DC through the night.

Had to skip 3 area. They were way too likely to 60DP me; 6 Charr groups are too sp00py. Leaving them for tomorrow.

May my internet connection last me another night.

Red Fireball - I feel no joy in playing hardcore characters, so I don't do that. With henchmen only (and their lovely AI), it would mean I'd be resetting every week.

Tour de Charr, complete.

Say what you will about the build. It works.

You have been playing this game for 3 days. Please take a break.

justice nope, the Dunes remain Despairful. I'm sorta just ignoring missions until I finish vanquisher/explorer/skill hunter, and then I'll just lock myself into mission outposts until they're finished, although I don't have much hope of completing 4man missions.

Squeezed a few hours of energy out of myself. Hopefully the Maguuma train happens this week.

Finally a Nick week I can complete. Plus FoC and Earth Shaker captured. (Merchant summoning stones POG)

Farming on NM is so scuffed. 4 hours of giants only got me 1 rare armour piece, but at least I finally found a Major Vigor.

Ettins are still better for runes though ._.

Second run, fancy axe.

Train 2: Maguuma Boogaloo

Killed all but 3 Behemoths this way. No Totem Axe QQ.

Considering how little anti melee there was and how unwilling to ball the mobs were, I quite regret doing it with this tanky abomination of a build.

Quick little vanquish before the CBT that is Survivor.

A lot of Gates of Kryta, Nebo Terrace Skeleton Archers and Hulking Stone Elementals...

One.

Two.

DING DING DING, on the dot.

Charr and Obby will be joining them later.

Reward for Survivor; accessible Nicholas

Mats ready for exotic Charr.

FoW build. 118 Shards to go.

Oh good god farming Smites with only Prophesies skills...

1) Sympathetic Visage+100b? Nope, not consistent enough.

2) Sympathetic Visage+axe? Not enough damage.

3) Sympathetic Visage+hammer? Even worse+worse armor.

4) IW??? = not even at all

5) Shield of Judgement????? = KEKW NOPE (I was getting desperate)

6) Looks weird but: tanky, spikes balls of any size ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), manageable issues with mobs shattering...Hmm

Ok so why didn't anyone tell me this ._.

I guess my quest for the Obby is over before it began.

Ain't no way I can get to the Forgemaster solo...

Have I yee'd my last haw?

Adinay people who do these challenges are usually good or at least decent at the game, and I'm looking for the henchmen difficulty. Now, whilest some people have the same AI as henchmen, I doubt I could find 7 such people.

What I was thinking about is using my main account, assembling 6 heroes with the TotA henchmen builds+this iron boy, then leaving on the main, leaving my main account with what are essentially less dumb versions of the TotA henchmen.

Luckily I'm about 118 ectos and shards away from making a decision, in the meantime...

Crystal Desert,...

...complete.

Felt like I should take a SS of this FDS that dropped before picking it up.
I guess I was right to do so.

IDS and FDS down. A good q9 Fellblade, Long Sword and Crystalline to go.

Pain.

The end is in sight.

Baklawa I only used the tonK™ for the TotA trains with the logic that a single healer would have a lot of issues with keeping 3 melees alive, so I'd rather focus on soaking up damage and making nice balls ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) of monsters, both of which should the pressure off the little healer. From the Crystal Desert onward I used the build in the first photo. Still tanky for balling purposes, but at least I deal a fair amount of damage.

Adinay I'm recovering from a hip and knee injury, so I have all the time in the world to play, since, ya know, I can't work, aren't allowed to leave my village without a doctors note, finished reading the Tolkien's legendarium books that I have, and couldn't get into PoE2. It's been a while since I've no-life'd GW like this lol.

Pog

Obby to go, maybe.

Excite Blue just break your leg kappa

Gotta play Pokemon for the next 10 hours...

It's just one of those days ._.

Well, that's it for the easy titles.

justice I'll start doing missions after I'm done with Obby, good idea though, I shall be yoinking it. Considering I haven't turned in my deldrimor talisman, I might just get the green zealous daggers for insane energy maintenance.

I was a good boy this week, thanks to the Pantheon bonus.

Dumb idiot Aatxe AI. Get got, nerd.

A lot of this...

Now to eradicate about a billion FoW driftwoods and spiders.
