Aw, Tauceti.  :( Patience, patience is always the way to go.  Runny will live on in the Fallen Heroes Graveyard so will not be forgotten, even though lost in the service of the gods.

Welcome to the forum Overnight.  :) You need to install full Xmax; there are variations of it: x2, x3, x4 and full.  Full is the one we're playing for this challenge.

Ok, I have got this. My character 's name will be Halu, game: AER (if it means Anniversary Edition: Ragnarok :D), class: probably seidr worker (even though my experience with runes is very small :D) and untwinked cause always liked playing with self-found items :D

@MedeaFleecestealer  my relic/charm completion bonus trick is allowed right? it's in here:
https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=335.0

don't know if changing completion bonus through TQVault is allowed but i don't do that.. i also don't duplicate items through TQVault.. that's not something you can do in-game.. i have my own rules :)

@Tauceti  apologies for calling you darned s**t.. i was rooting for you and you died.. you were so close..  C:-) i meant no bad thing

still unlikely to continue my toon at least until near xmas

Hey no problem brother in arm. Actually i laughed at your comment  ;D
I don't think i was so close. I mean: Act 3 is a training ground compared to legendary act 5.

Now i am thinking of building a DW spellbreaker. Sure he will be less tanky but i expect fun and i have much to learn from warfare.
You didn't have chosen an easy path with your elementalist. I am intringued of what can be done with it in Xmax.

botebote77, seems to be no real feeling one way or the other so yes, go ahead and use them.

Overnight, have a read of the rules in the opening post and let me know your character's details once you're underway.  And good luck with the challenge.  :)

Here comes my hero :D
Name: Halu
Class: Seidr Worker
Game: AER
Untwinked
Current city: Rhakotis
Current level: 25

The biggest challenge have been the Cyclops so far :D The Gorgons' healing was veeery annoying so needed to use harpies to take the aggro so I could deal more damage than they could heal :D Also found tons of epic/mi thrown weapons but the amount of duplicates was incredible and they don't work with the phantom strike so they are useless, unless I change my strategy :D

Here is a new entry, Medea, to the challenge: Leeroy a DW spellbreaker and it will be my last attempt for a while.
The build idea is the combo melee skills + deathchill aura, and hence testing the efficiency of vitality and bleeding damage with necrosis.

Leeroy Jenkins - L35 Twinked - Babylon outskirts

Exinite has made some progress. She's able to wear beautiful gear with minimal strength thanks to a lot of bonus attributes and requirement reductions.

I have done quite a marathon with Titan Quest recently :D At the max speed so it wasn't that time consuming as it could. I am not that happy with my equipment and I think it will be totally useless junk against the early 4th act enemies. Capped vitality resistance made me almost invincible against the only skill I was afraid of - Typhon's life leech. 3 of them at the same moment would be lethal if not that :D Could have a bit better weapon but Yang looked fancier :D Also got two +50% damage against demons bonuses and a pendant lessening damage from them so if I survive to the end of the 4th act it should be very easy.
