Iron Man Run - Stealther/Picker/Remove Trapper (Red AMiB)

My run through the Pirate Bay as a stealther/picker/untrapper, for those interested!

Nice video!

Can I ask, what counts as "completion" on these?

Thankee! it was fun to build. I credit SlowBurnin for giving me the motivation to complete it. heh

Re: Completion... from what I understand, you need to loot all the platinum and 'special' items in the two chests. To complete as Iron Man, you have to go it solo. I don't know if that means no pets, only no other PCs.

There is a limit on the number of followers you can have in order for it to count.

Great video for anyone looking to accomplish an Ironman series in a roguish way.

There you go! Thank you, Surfrats.

It's mighty impressive to solo it, without pets, and to go undetected all that while. Kudos to you, sir!

Very cool, I have a slew of questions can I ask why only 8 steps and not 9? Also can you not use the ID wand on the chest? I saw on the second chest you IDing multiple individual items. Guessing the Detect hidden is just to push your lockpicking to GM like skills?

Seems like it'd be a fun build to run low level Tmaps (1-2) quickly where the spawn is likely not worth the effort

Sure -- I'll try to answer.

ID -- I have never tried to ID a whole chest. I didn't know that was possible; I'll try that in my next run!
Detect -- You have to have 50.0 real Detect in order for Remove Traps to work. Even 49.9 will not allow one to activate the skill, so it has to be locked at 50.0.
Stealth -- I did 8 so I had an extra "oopsie" step available. If I accidentally move one more, I know I won't break stealth.

Ah yes, I buy bulk Level 1s all the time. At the moment, I'm atop the leader board of all-time T-map digs...

From http://uorforum.com/threads/ancient-mib-sos-ironman-guide.1716/ :

I believe this is a typo and @Chris 's post and should read: "Use 2 or less control slots", as I am fairly certain an ethy/horse + pack horse still qualifies for the Iron Man, and a nightmare itself takes 2 slots.

Badass video! @The Ferret of Baja

Long Live Baja! Was my home too.

You can move 10 tiles btw. So one ooopsie extra step would mean you move 9 steps always. Gratz on ironmanning though.

On a sidenote: It's 2 followers that you are allowed to have max in AMIBs.

Thanks for the kudos -- I only have 90 stealth, not GM (hence 9 steps max). that 10 extra points of meditation (from 50 to 60) makes a huge difference.

... as does a wizard hat's bump to your intelligence and also affords you a stamina modifier trigger for "bump" security




granted, 5 intelligence garners a fraction of a second but... it's still a positive gain!

Afaik the int value has a "much" higher influence on mana reg than meditation. But I can't quantify it... Anybody else?

about .25 of a second every 10 int

Correct, it's 2 total. Nightmare, that's it or horse/ehty + packhorse.

The picker route is tough. I've done all 4 as a stealth/picker without Remove Trap, and wouldn't do it again. Timing Telekinesis and Invis is stupid tough

Are the traps insta death, or can you take the dmg buffed perhaps?

50/50. I forget Tele scrolls on my Provo runner fairly often and ghost run a lot
