hello YouTube, this is B Mage again. Welcome back. This is day three. This is the end of my day three update, and I have to say, wow, this Holy Relic absolutely rocks. I am very glad that I changed into Holy Relic as quickly as we did because I have dropped nothing. This is by far the most poor I have ever been at this point of a league, at least in the last 5 years. I have completely scuffed gear. I've had no Divine drops. I've had like, I think, a total of like 80 chaos drop on the floor. I've had a few things sell here and there. Right now, I'm surviving off farming blights and selling blighted maps at like 12 to 9 chaos a piece, which is a lot of individual small trades, which I just, that's just how I'm getting by. I can't really do any of the higher end farms until I get a Dias, but we're very close to that. So as you can see in the background, it's

farming away fine it's clear is fantastic it single Target is while much better not what I need it to be so let's jump in and have a look at where we're at here we are in game uh as a quick demonstration uh I have barely slept I have barely slept at all it's um okay 3 hours of this was AFK 3 hours of this was AFK so at 59 minutes we'll call that 2 days 6 hours 2 days 6 hours played um this is my ring I've had on the whole time uh 89 Chaos two exalts zero divides this is been the most struggle Street League start for me that I have done in years but despite that we're still kind of doing okay even though my gear is still trash this is still the first weapon when I could only afford to buy like three Essences and they weren't even good tier and that was just all I it was just hit and hope um it doesn't even have attack speed uh this is still okay

but it's only like a 40c ring uh this again 12C ring 2C amulet an essenced chest with no other stats except the essence mod for life no Corruptions anywhere no heal on block my original pair of boots. The main upgrade here is I did get a Darkness enthroned but it's only an 86%. But I did make these myself so I have two 15% poison chance Jewels so that's cool. I actually made all my Jews myself from Abyss so just alt spamming. Uh this is this is just poison chance and life this is just poison chance and life technically hinder I mean I guess three 7 to 13 chaos isn't irrelevant so like that exists there's this one which is actually pretty decent that's a lot more flat Fizz and some chaos so that's cool and we solved that Mana problem with this Jewel gain two mana on enemy hit with attack that solved all of our Mana problems um there's a few things we also

had um specters and hly Relics dying a little too often for my lagging so a very very very very cheap anoint that helped me fix that was Decay Ward. Here it's not something I normally use but because I'm so scuffed and undergeared uh we threw this one on that mixed with bone offering leaves us somewhere between like 55 to 60% chance for minions to block and minions recover 2% of their life when they block. I I am too poor to turn this down while making a video so we're just going to do the trade. Um I have have been saving for your Dias that is the only thing I'm saving for right now so we are up to five divines from making 14 to 19 C sales the whole time um so we're getting there uh we we will get there as soon as I have the diala six linked uh we'll be off that'll be that'll be fantastic so jumping into zip path of building so from last time uh I think

last time I was at like 250k, which we all know is [__] it's way higher. But now it's nearly a mill in paa building, so that's doing significantly better because of all the poison chance jewels that I got to roll. Uh, I did get to change out of chance to poison and into vile toxins, which will do for now. I don't have an Empower or an enhance, couldn't 40 the one, so we went with vile toxins. It's something, it's pretty good damage. Uh, the only downside is I am still a little tiny bit short on poison chance. I'm at 92%. I think if you can be at around about 85% after taking off chance to poison that you could swap into vile toxins and do slightly more damage. Obviously, we want to keep going till we get to 100, but you get what you get. So that's where we are. Everything is here. I will share this path of building. If you're wondering what's on my elegant hubris, it's absolutely nothing. Um, it is

the cheapest elegant huus I can get my hands on. It is just to give me Supreme otation so that I could save all of my stat points and get rid of them. Uh, I did come up here because I needed more armor, more armor, more armor, more max rares. I also got all of the endurance charges, or at least the two I'm next to, uh, because endurance charges are nice and this seems to be generating them enough, at least while mapping, that I was comfortable investing in them. So we'll see how that goes. Uh, the other thing I would like to mention, big important thing I'd like to mention, is probably tomorrow we will be doing an FAQ. So we're going to do an FAQ video. Uh, I've been acquiring a document from stream but if YouTube has any questions, you very, it would be very good to leave them all in the comments of this video because, uh, probably the same time tomorrow we'll put out an FAQ video and a document. So all the questions you have about holy Relic, anything to do

with holy Relic there we go there we go anything to do with holy Relic. Uh, we'll answer all of the questions in the document. All right, everybody wants to buy everything. This has been my life, by the way, my whole life, the whole time. 15 see here, 19 see here, 12C here, 8 see here, no divines, no nothing. It's been miserable. All right, that is all I have. I will see everybody tomorrow. Goodbye.
