Yes, you can use items in the transfer stash.  If you have TQVault and want to use items from that as well then just let me know so I can mark your character as being twinked.

The rules for the challenge are in the first post on the first page.

Toons are untwinked unless specified on the leaderboard.

"Twinked" meaning that you use items from other characters. So it is allowed, but please let them know so the ranking can show the twinked status
Might be helpful to reword that rule, I'm not sure how many people know TQ slang anymore  ;D

Khyno - Lvl 55 Templar (Untwinked) Epic Delphi

Made some progress with Khyno - although I am kinda disappointed about the Legendary items drop rate - after 30+ Nessus/Boar Snatcher runs and 10+ Polyphemus runs I haven't gotten any so far!  >:(
Once again, Poison Resistance seems to be the most vital piece of the puzzle - especially against the Boar Snatcher.

They can be difficult to deal with.  Better luck next time.

I wanted to actually use all the green and better items I keep picking up during Yellow and Naked challenges, so I started my new Illusionist, LetsTryXmax.







Important: I had success killing the 3 (9) Gorgon sisters, but the game crashed when I tried to use my screenshot button. I started the game back up, expecting to deal with that annoying process again, only to find that they weren't there. I just had to speak to Feiyan to unlock the exit, and I could leave. I really didn't want to deal with them if I didn't have to, so I left without that picture, sorry.
Also, surviving hasn't been terrible. Wolves are good distractions, and traps are good to fall back on when they get overwhelmed. Only one hero, The All Devourer has managed to kill all 3 wolves, and then brought me to a panicked 20 health before I got away.
About to face the Statues in the Sphinx in Regular Mode, level 30.

Oh, and about the petmancer kill count requirement? I'm on the "don't require it" side, because 9/10 of the kills I try to get are stolen by wolves or traps. I have an effective 6 pets during most fights, and they all out-damage my Runed Staff I bought at level 10.

Added to the leaderboard 1cec0ld and good luck. 

Yeah, it was a bit unfair for petmancers even in the old game since pet kills don't get added to your kill total.  It tended to mean you had to do without them somewhere along the way just to make the kill count requirement which was crazy.  And now with traps actually counting as pets in AE it would be even worse.

What do you guys think would be the best classes to use for this Challenge while staying untwinked? Haruspex? Conqueror?

Also, does Ragnarok make this challenge harder or easier? I am considering buying the expansion...

the expac area will make the challange way more harder, with some amounts of bleeding/vitality/reflect dmg.

But it will bring some powerfull itens that can boost your dmg and survivability.

As for class, i would say mages and archers ,will have easy time than melles atlast on 1st run

Hey Medea, here is a new entry: Runny Smith  ;) currently lvl 15 in Halcyon coast.

Although Runny is twinked, he got hard time with the 3 cyclops, running around waiting Thunder Strike be recharged. He almost got crushed.
Spoiler for Hiden:

This class Runesmith puzzles me. I wonder what's the best way, str or int ?
The two paths are appealing. Although a STR based char is more logical, because of colossus and defensive reaction, an INT based runesmith should become an interesting hybrid melee char.
