The Naked Hardcore Challenge
« on: 19 November 2017, 09:27:13 »
You can play this with any mod you like, just let me know so I can note it on the leaderboard.

Allowed -

Health Potions
Energy Potions
Augmentations (just for Weapons and Shields obviously)
As many Weapons as you can carry
As many Shields as you can carry
Any 2 Masteries you desire as you unlock them

NOTHING ELSE

All Armour, Formulas, jewellery, Artifacts, scrolls, are off limits.
No Esc-Quits.
Twinking is allowed, i.e. using items from your Vault collection, but this must be specified for any toon doing so.
You must clear all areas including the Secret Passage if you've got an Overlord turtle to hand.

To summarise: weapons/shields, potions and relics/charms are the ONLY items allowed so make sure to check your characters regularly for items like jewellery getting equipped when you don't want it to be. All skills from any two masteries of your choice as per normal game can be used. I leave the decision on whether to twink or not up to you, but it would be useful for others to know which you're playing. I'll include the info on the leaderboard.

A summary of the class/level you plan to play would also be helpful for those wanting to follow any successful ones (titancalc.com or the AE version of this).  Screenshots of boss kills plus one of your toon to show they're still naked required.  Please see this link for how to post screenshots on the forum.

https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=464.0

Note: AE after a character's class denotes they're being played in the Anniversary Edition of the game, AER if played using the Ragnarök expansion. AERA if played using the Atlantis expansion as well.  Atm since Atlantis is an optional area anyway and some people are suffering terrible lag with it, it will be optional for the challenge as well.  You can do it if you want to, but not required atm.
Note: Anniversary Edition Ragnarök expansion - Accomplished Heroes are not eligible for this challenge.  The rule is play the game from the start of Normal right through to the end of Legendary.

Leaderboard as at 26.12.21 - Characters are Untwinked unless specified

Well now I need to get a character into Epic by passing through the Nordic (pun intended) areas. It'll be my second character though, I'm not facing a new Act and getting surprised without armor!

Yeah, probably not a good idea.  See what the lay of the land is first and what problems there are going to be.

Not that I'm going to do this (I don't much care for Hardcore) but say you used the battle awareness on a Defense character, would that count as armor make it unavailable for the nude challenge?

Well the tip says +X% Armor Absorption, so it requires a base amount to multiply off of. Therefore, it should be fine. Granted, it's all but useless unless you want it for the strength requirement for shields to be lower :)

Side note, I think the spirit of the challenge is about showing that skin, so if you have that thicc dermis through an ability, then skill up!

I think you are talking about armor handling, I was referring to Battle Awareness which gives a small armor boost and defensive ability. O0

Challenge allows any skills from the masteries - if they boost armour (even though you don't have any) then that's what they do.  Not sure if it would add them if you don't have amour to start with.  :-\  Admittedly, TQIT didn't have that with its Battle Awareness, that's an AE addition.

Whoooooops you're right.
See my second sentence about skin showing then, I wouldn't judge anyone for using abilities to toughen up!

So, back into the TQAER groove and updated progress for Natrelle Again.  She's made it to the Athens Catacombs and is up to L16.  Did manage to get a Mastery shrine along the way so had 3 wolves out for a bit, though she lost the third one to Cinder Bone in the Lower War Camp.  Still two wolves and Nightmare have handled most stuff, Nightmare died a few times but only has one point in it at the moment. 

Arachne

Gorgon Sisters

Limos

No deaths

Nice work, my Illusionist just made it to Act5 so I have just a few more play sessions before I can jump back on the nude wagon

Another update for Natrelle Again.  She's worked her way into Egypt and is resting in Memphis having defeated allcomers so far.  Lucky to get a Mastery shrine heading up to the Rhakotis Library so had a 3rd wolf until I reached the Memphis Outskirts where something killed him.  Nearly died to the Scarab Lord down in the Library, all that poison.  Only the dong of imminent doom saved her as I rushed another potion into her.  Whew! Did get a good screenshot of him going poof though - see below.  ;D

Alastor

Minotaur

Megalosis

Scarab Lord

L21 Memphis no deaths

Darn!  Natrelle Again is out of the challenge.  I was so busy trying to get a screenshot of a new Zombie Hero (who isn't new after all) I died to him.  >:(  My fault entirely, should have run away.




Think I might try a Skinchanger (Runemaster/Nature) for this challenge, might have better luck then.

Of course you can.  Send me updated info if it's wrong - my filed copy of the list was quite old and I didn't make a newer one before TQ.net went down.

Okay, since Natrelle's demise I've come up with a soon to be Skinchanger to try this with.  At the moment Skinny Dipper is still a Wanderer with two wolf friends to keep him company.  Base skill isn't quite maxed out yet, need another couple of levels.  I'm going to try out Thunderstrike and Seal of Fate/Aftershock with this build and possibly Menhir Wall/Guardian Stones too. He's approaching the Spartan War Camp and at L5.
