Some nice treasure today... DoW 2) UUEL(r) Tempered Flamestaff & Fine Brass Toupee War Monkeys 1) UURE(r) Golden Hair Comb I don't tackle the monkeys very often, but it's good to be able to save my party for next time thanks to the expanded save slots.
AotWM #1: UURR(R) Only once, because of connection errors and the fact that I really dislike Simian Reflexes & Acrobatic Flip.
Public Service Announcement: If the good lord is willin' and the creek don't rise (and, more relevantly, if Amazon doesn't decide the server needs some downtime after all), at the upcoming adventure reset the stars will be right for a loot fairy triple dip! Scarponi made a handy-dandy how-to guide that might be helpful if you're new to this:
Monkeys were enough of a pain even before the league buffs. It takes a special person to enjoy slogging through this adventure (particularly "Into the Jungle") against ridiculous foes just to get a couple of rares. I'm not that guy, but I hope he REALLY enjoyed it. Enough for both of us. Twice.
I spent a ton of time being frustrated as hell at Acrobatic Flip, then I realized I can run wizards or warriors with Unnerving Strike. Things got a lot better.
Hmm, I loaded my old lvl 16 party and flew through these 4 adventueres in no time =o Got my 4th pair of Sliding Boots. Should keep them maybe since there's now a 4th party slot teaser. Which also explains (ONLY A LITTLE EXPLAINS) why there still isn't a sell-excess button.
I actually sailed through most of it with my 2 Wiz/Priest lava spam, but both times the monkeys excelled at stealing Resistant Hide, Wall of Fire, and Team Heal on the Into the Jungle map. It made for a rough go.
Attack #2: URREt(R) Enchanted Pearl Ret. Astral #1: UtURRt(R) Ret. Astral #2: UtREEt(R) Japper's Energy Boots, Golden Hair Comb
RttAS #1: UURR(R) At least I got one Shielding Token RttAS #2: UURR(Rt) Too tired to wait for the third dip.
