| Gazgo Winner

Posted October 23, 2022 ( monk )

Level: 71

Exp: 137.5M

Reinc: monk(30)+tarmalen(25)+navigator(1)

I won the Gazgo event:

Gazgo tells you 'You have tagged me.'

Gazgo tells you 'You receive 929 points for that tag.'

Gazgo tells you 'Your total score is 5718.

Gazgo tells you 'You have WON!'

Gazgo tells you 'You have been rewarded 138 mithril.'

Gazgo shouts 'Thelo has won the Hunt Event.'
             'Thelo has been awarded THE prize.'
Gazgo tells you 'You will be rewarded your score five times over in gold.'

Gazgo tells you 'You have been rewarded 28590 gold.'

Gazgo tells you 'I am out of here!'
Gazgo, the hiding mage, snaps from existance.

It took about 2 hours or so to collect enough points. That was mostly because I am still somewhat lost with the new continents and area locations. I have stored runs between areas for the old map (same as hcbat map), but I don’t have all the same running routes for the new ones. So, it is quite slow to manually first figure out the continent of the area and then run to the area through the esiris and city portals.

For some reason, the reward was lower than what is was 20 years ago when I first time won Gazgo. (The cause is probably the total time to complete the Gazgo event.)

Reinc plans

I have also been preparing for the next reinc, riftwalker+channeller. I bought 5% int reinc flask from Onnifer and soloed some small int equipment for myself and my golems. For example, +8..9 int blood red gown from Agernah.

Agernah is one of fearsome high priests of the Temple. He is sacrificing
A small animal for his God, splashing animal's blood around the walls.
He is in excellent shape.
        Agernah's equipment:
Neck, both legs and upper body: The blood red gown (glowing)
Wielded in right claw: A runed, shimmering silver blade <fiercely chilling> <red glow>

I can use this gown for my channeller golem and get the guard feature.

The exp regains as a blaster would most likely be quite painful, so I have been making somewhat more exp than usually to cover the reinc tax and stay over 130M totals (130 is nice round number, would be shame to go below it again).

Explore

While doing Gazgo, I noticed that there are several areas, which could give me easily more explore. For example, I noticed that I had not explored Perins almost at all. Same with Ruins of El Deagnoh. After running them through (partially) my explore count is 10208/18064 (E%: 56).
